Veggie Cream Pasta . . Welcome to the weirdest year of most of our lives. COVID-19 has got our world upside down, life as we know it has changed for the time being ... some of us are working like we have never before (Thank You Health Care and Safety Providers ??❤️) and some of us are locked inside and we’re going back to basics ? Finding things around the house to entertain us, bonding with our family, appreciating the outdoors a lot more (now that we cant access it), and most importantly.... COOKING a whole lot more *phewww* ? . . On a lazy afternoon, with limited ingredient options, and my fridge filled with a little bit of this and a little bit of that, I wanted to make a flavorful pasta dish where I could use everything I had on hand and VOILA! came this veggie cream pasta ... super tasty and SUPER #PantryFriendly ? . .

Breads

Coronavirus isolation has led to a surge in searching for bread recipes on Google. According to several reports Americans are baking so much bread that stores are running out of yeast. Many home bakers have told The Washington Post “Measuring, kneading and shaping dough can be a balm for the anxiety that has accompanied the virus.” The simple process makes some feel self-reliant and takes their mind off the current crisis.

 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

I’m hearing a lot of people are taking up baking sourdough when they’re in lockdown, hope it is a driver for more to take up the craft into the future, it’s very satisfying! Any beginners reading this have any questions, let me know. Please don’t be greedy with flour hoarding at this time though.... . This the crumb from my last loaf, reckon this is my best loaf so far... Sourdough, with white, little rye and a little spelt. . 300g flour - strong white with maybe 3% rye and 2% spelt. 76% hydration. 3 hour autolyse 25% levain. Hand mixed 2 x stretch/folds. 1 x lamination. 3 x coil folds 4.5 hours bulk fermentation Overnight cold proof Baked from cold. 2 x ice cubes in the Dutch oven. #Nice. . #realbread #flourwatersalt #naturallyleavened #sourdough #sourdoughbread #bread #artisanbread #veganfood #homemade #madefromscratch #breadvolution
