Sourdough, motherfuckers!

The sudden switch from "hey it's an edible wheat slurry" to "this is the most delicious thing I've ever eaten" must've killed the first like five ancient people to invent bread making.

Yeast feels like nature throwing us a layup as an apology for the supply chain of honey
@ArchiteuthisFlux I am in awe of your loaf shaped loaf, mine kept coming out delicious but flat.
@gadgetoid It's that windy desert starter, I have like 5 states worth of yeast duking it out in there.
@ArchiteuthisFlux slicing the top makes a huge difference, lets it expand upwards and get even airier. I never had any luck with a knife, always sticks to the dough and pulls it instead of cutting, but kitchen shears work great. I give em three parallel snips deep as I can right before they go in the oven
@dave oh dang, hot tip. Thanks!
