dinner tonight: part 1
BREAD. i dont know how to make bread so i consulted this “simple whole wheat bread” recipe
kinda used it but added wheat bran, maple syrup instead of honey, did about one cup of white flour and the rest whole wheat, um no butter, etc. basically just used the recipe for the times and the resting and the kneading and the yadda.
erin’s version:
1 c white flour
3-4 c whole wheat flour
1 c wheat bran
a bunch of sesame seeds AND I DONT KNOW WHY
1 packet of yeast stuff
a splash of vegetable oil
a tsp-tbsp of maple syrup
pinch of salt.
i just mixed it all up because who cares it’s not science. (yes it is?). let it rest for 30 minutes like the goddamned recipe said. then kneaded it for a bit adding extra flour as needed so it wasnt super sticky.
let it rest again until it got real big (think liiiiiike double f’s). smooshed it into a pan and sprinkled with extra sesame seeds. let it rise a bit more before putting it in the oven at 350 for half an hour-ish.
look at that- an attractive lump of flour and stuff. YUM.
stay tuned for dinner part: the rest of dinner.
