I recently decided to try to make some whole wheat bread. So, I learned about bread, and I learned about sourdough. And, I will say, I never liked sourdough growing up. And, I cannot say I am thrilled about it still. But, it turns out that this is how bread was made before modern science took over bread making. And, it has been interesting. After about 3-4 failed experiments, I finally made some bread. I have been working at it all week, with one experiment per day. Because, it has to have wild yeast, and that takes a bit of time. And, it is true. The truth to good bread is "time". And, the reason I have failed so many times is that I am working on making no knead bread that only has wild yeast to make it dry with air pockets on the inside. Making it rise hasn't turned out to be my specialty yet. I don't like the idea of making a huge mess on the counter flopping bread around with my hands, and having sticky dough covered hands. Kneading and recipes seem to take the fun out of it for me. I add other ingredients into it like other grains and herbs to give it some character. But, I like to keep it simple, meaning no recipes. And, if you have ever looked on the ingredients of bread from the store, it normally looks anything but simple. But, I have been successful as of today. And, I continue the fight tomarro.
