    it’s made from fucking grass!

    I started making my own sourdough bread during COVID because for a while there they didn’t have bread or yeast at the grocery stores. I love the fact that the ingredients are just flour, water, salt and starter (which itself is just flour and water and the yeastie beasties). The yeast all dies during cooking and the water is essentially cooked out of it, so sourdough bread is really just flour altered into a really funky form with a bit of salt. I like the added thought that even the flour is just ground-up grass.

      I do not have the patience for sourdough. My favourite bread is probably something along the lines of chleb lwowski or the Finnish hard bread Ruisreikäleipä which is rye bread with caraway seeds. It’ll fuck up your gums, but it’s really tasty.
