With an abundance of both kefir and sourdough discard, made two more loaves (this time twisting the dough before the second proof).

340g kefir, 300g wheat flour 550, 240g wheat flour 1050, 100g sourdough discard, 30g butter/oil, 12g salt, 1g fresh yeast. Knead, overnight proof at room temperature, shape, leave at room temperature for 60-90 minutes, bake at 250°C (falling to 200) for fifty minutes. delish and keeps well :-)

This morning, no filter.

A Swiss tradition on Easter Sunday: Zopf (braided bread). This one with yellow wheat, overnight cold proof, so all you need to do is heat the oven and bake it. (Pre/heated to my usual 250°C instead of 230, so crust is darker than intended). #breadsky

This is so, so well-articulated.

Made these energy bickies after the recipe of a medieval mystic to share at work today. They’re super spiced (nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves), so apparently consumption should be limited to 2-3 per day. This version made gluten-free so all can partake.

Yes, buttermilk can give you an almost crazy oven-spring.

Well, unless the library thinks that sponsoring might be an idea to go and this you end up with stickers from a local beer brewery on every book. (Library of a Law Faculty at a university I attended many, many moons ago).

I have a linguistics joke but it gets lost in translation.

No-knead rolls today. #breadsky

Made this oat crust on Monday. Thanks to sourdough, last sliced today still very nice. #sourdough #breadsky

This 7.6cm terracota figurine shows a woman baking bread in a tandoor style oven, right? Very accurately as well. Where is it from? Cyprus, 600- 450 BCE It's amazing how far and wide georgaphically, and time-wise, this style of baking encompasses! Check the air hole at the bottom too!

America I do think when your President can't even remember that he's President and calls someone else President, that really should be all you need to remove him from office.

Sustainable home baking. Been too productive and some of your bread has gone stale? Toast, grind and replace 5-10% (of flour) in your standard recipe with this (having soaked over night in some of the water, boiled). Improves aroma and crumb texture. #breadsky #sourdough

Got the hydration wrong on this one, but taste is alright. #breadsky #dourdough

Some are clearly less key than others: once dialect differences have emerged, they can serve to signal identity.

In the early 2000s, there was a debate between Trudgill and Schneider on the role that identity plays in new dialect formation. I recently elicited usage data and followed up with a survey, and it turns out that norm orientation (part of identity construction) is relatively separate from usage.

Good to know that Democratic attorneys generals took the threat of project 2025 seriously and planned ahead

We knew they were doing this at the time, which is why you saw grants elsewhere that mentioned things like “biological diversity” get cancelled. I’m horrified at how bad these people are, but I’m astonished at how lazy and incompetent they are at everything.
