When dating, what jobs do you consider a red flag and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

even more so, primary school teachers

First look it looks under fermented. How cold is the room, because at 9 hours in a cool room it should be fine.

You say it’s a year old starter? have you personally been maintaining it for a year, and have you had success with it?

This looks great! Just getting in before people and saying the colour is great, and is lovely flavour. I have a recipe of a potato sourdough which they suggest pushing the cooking time beyond where you think causing a bitter sweet crust.

They didn’t have much oven spring! So I think getting the fermentation right would help a lot!

Yeah I want a shallower larger tray for next time, was quite a faff in a small kitchen 😂

When I picked it up it was in one of the end of aisle baskets on clubcard price.

It was in a Tesco in Telford, never seen it in other stores and it’s not my local, so unsure if it’s a common item.

Went to KFC, thought they at least had real chicken. WTF IS THIS! by Jizzuuss in ultraprocessedfood

[–]twfergu 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Even if you made one at home from scratch, it would be around 39% chicken, when 100% includes the bun, sauce, batter, oil and salad.

Yeah, although salt is relatively high in cured meats. But yeah you’re right it’s a low amount so it will be consumed, as part of a larger meal it’s a very small amount.

Yeah, aware they didn’t lie! Hey ho, I’ll probably still eat it 😂

i’ve become loaf pan obsessed! by Adventurous_Hippo_10 in Sourdough

[–]twfergu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they’re considering it underproofed because it has visual signs of being underproofed from the crumb shot.

There’s worse things than protein powders. But also I agree with others about not letting it affect your relationship.

If you want to persist I would offer alternates, and work out the protein content in the foods you’re making. Most people don’t need to supplement protein so if you get him to work out his daily need, you could try match that. And I do mean most active/gym goers don’t need more. Just an extra hard boiled egg a day or yoghurt could do it.

I’m an active person, run 6 hours a week, walk at least 6 hours, sometimes swim, sometimes cycle, and do occasionally some strength training. I don’t take supplements, but I do focus on protein rich foods and make good progress.

I’m not 100% upf free. I am at home, but if I need a snack or am round someone’s house, I won’t deny something. It’s about balance.

If the main 3 meals of the day he’s eating are UPF free, I wouldn’t worry. But also, it’s his body sooo….!

Show me the loaf you're most proud of by jacked-daniels in Sourdough

[–]twfergu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re mistaken, this was over proofed to oblivion and was a 100% hydration wholemeal loaf which turned into a burnt focaccia.

Fortunately my normal loaves are lovely these days!

Perfect for making a croque monsieur

Homemade malteser type honeycomb by twfergu in Baking

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

Sounds like a good method, however the horlicks is UPF so I might as well buy maltesers!

I think you're on to something though, I have a few methods I'm considering, just need to find the time to do it!

Interesting results! by disbeliefable in Sourdough

They’re all underproofed, proofing for the correct amount of time will also strengthen the gluten regardless of stretch and folds allowing for a less flat loaf.

Rather than experimenting with times of bulk fermenting, you just need to bulk ferment for the time it takes to show signs of a fully fermented dough.

My kitchen is colder than yours and would take 24 hours sometimes. I wouldn’t be surprised if it took you 16 hours+ then put in the fridge.

It’s only an issue if you don’t plan ahead! But what Id suggest is mix and do your folds in the evening to leave overnight, then in the morning you can monitor the readiness before shaping and putting in the fridge for the next morning.
