idk if this is considered self improvement

but instead of buying bread from the store i'm baking it at home

thats cool, how much work is involved in that?

the most primitive way of doing it

is not that hard

grind up wheat seeds + mix with water

and you have dough

however various things like baking powder are good to help make the dough rise

sugar + salt and possibly other toppings are good as well

how does the taste compare?

idk yet

i'll have to see

but once i make some and try it i'll make sure to try to post some results here

please do

On occasion I make a loaf or two, it's crazy how much better than store bought bread it is.

Especially right when it's fresh.

mhm

i've never tried fresh bread before

only store bought shit

We‘re baking it at home too, but we have a machine to do it for us.

I just use breadpans and an oven.

What's really interesting about bread is that your regional bacterium can change it's texture and flavor significantly. San Francisco sourdough is a good example.

that's actually really interesting

bread is now outside and rising

Looks... Very floury.

yeah

very first loaf

Ahhhh. Well, tell us how it turns out!

alrighty

Why's it outside, though?

need to let the dough rise

Can't you do that indoors? Just cover the bowl with a damp handtowel.

recipe called for a hot place to let the dough rise

like 90 degrees fahrenheit outside rn

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I use my over on the "warming" setting.

Hm. Well, alright.

*oven

i don't think my oven has that setting

Whatever it's lowest temp is is probably fine.
