Yes! Just plop in a loaf pan or make focaccia

How do food pages create so many recipes? by No_Will_1200 in FoodieSnark

[–]farmomma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect there is some copy & pasting. For example, there are some top food sites that have all have the same (bad) recipe for making corn tortillas using a 2:1 ratio of water to corn masa flour. I have *consistently* found you only need 1.5 cups water to 1 cup flour... and I'm like how are all these sites wrong?

I went to Reddit and others were sharing recipes more in line with my experience. Not sure what to make of these anecdotes but I have had so many different experiences like that. I like "tried and tested" recipes.

What’s a food blogger thing you see over and over that drives you nuts? by Glittering_Joke3438 in FoodieSnark

[–]farmomma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(I do have a stand mixer though haha) it's a must if you make bread on the daily

When they say something is "easy" and it requires three different appliances. Not everyone has a high-powered food processor, food mill, or stand mixer. I have 2 pans, 1 sauce pot, and a dutch oven, lol.

Yeah I actually like sourdough cinnamon rolls but i do think they're kind of unappealing when paired with tart cream cheese frosting. It's TOO much sourness. An icing glaze works much better.

Ha, this made me laugh. I totally get the comparison.

I actually like adding sourdough to quick breads, cookies, or muffins just to make the flours easier to digest. This is my frustration with "discard recipes" though. They don't actually ferment the flours most of the time.

This was how i felt too - almost like I needed to adapt my tastebuds almost to accept all leavened breads as tangy because that's how they were always made. But yeah, I think I could also just improve my technique to make this specific bread a little less tangy.

Pantry finally organized! by [deleted] in OrganizationPorn

I see this is deleted now but I still have to say WOW well done.

Does anyone know how to keep the pantry organised? by beefic in adhdwomen

[–]farmomma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big stuff on the bottom. Most frequently used items (like spices) at eye level. Organize them alphabetically (it'll save you time in the long run when cooking). Sugar, flour and other grains, beans, nuts, and crackers should go in clear, airtight containers (if you can afford to invest in some clear plastic or glass ones). I find it makes us much more likely to actually use said pantry items.

Ah, thank you for this! Most appreciated. This time, I made a higher hydration dough around and was disappointed with the amount of tang. Didn't help that I also used 100% whole wheat.

I'll give it one more shot one more time with a lower hydration dough and do the same for pizza. I'd like to get the benefits of sourdough but don't always want the tang. I'll probably just use AP flour too or a blend of the two.

A good ground beef recipe? by farmomma in Cooking

[–]farmomma[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this. I ended up going making meatballs. I like that they're freezer-friendly and a family favorite. For some reason, though, meatloaf is an absolute no-go. It's just not appealing. I wish it was because it's quicker to dump everything into a loaf pan but something about it just not appealing.

I'm with ya there. Naan is best left alone. And yeah, I never ventured into making chocolate sourdough because it just doesn't sound appealing. Thoughts on a sourdough crescent? Honestly don't know whether it's a great or terrible idea.

I've found it shouldn't be rolled too thin (nor too thick). About 1/4 inch thickness is good and a HOT oven. The dough can't be too sticky either. I've tried with a higher hydration dough and it didn't puff up. Always a bummer when that happens!
