Seize the means of fermentation! ⓺⓺ Robespierre drinks red ale
A bulletin on the life and (up)rising of my sourdough starter: Robespierre
at 2340h of a quiet st Patrick’s day STOP
Robespierre reflects on how Tuesdays STOP can feel like Sundays STOP
the same anticipation STOP of another surrendered workday STOP
work in itself is not the problem STOP the alienation it brings is STOP
before the alarm sings STOP
to announce yet another Wednesday STOP there is just enough time for a new comforting loaf STOP
to try the new Irish flour STOP
first test STOP with the tried and true 50% hydration recipe STOP
the aim is to compare STOP
capacity to absorb water STOP
timing of gluten development STOP
consistency during kneading STOP
response to the folds STOP
and bulk fermentation behaviour STOP
it is in the moments of most tiredness STOP
those in which a bed feels most appropriate STOP
that one should push on STOP
and make yet another loaf STOP
may you see the sun - and yourself - rise, Robespierre STOP
