Baked a 50/50 #sourdough (#einkorn + bread flour). Tasty, but the crumb had a mix of big and small holes—always learning!
What needs work:
⚡ Shaping for more even crumb
⚡ Better de-gassing for uniform air pockets
Next steps:
📌 Focus on shaping and longer bulk fermentation
Every loaf is a lesson!

Alright, #sourdough friends! This is my 5th attempt at making a 50/50 einkorn and all-purpose #bread. It turned out soft and very tangy—loved it! 😍
Super proud of myself! It was just a little on the softer side. Anyone have suggestions on how to make it less moist? Let me know!

Good morning 😃 everyone! Excited to show off my bread—a mix of #einkorn & #allpurpose. It looked great, but it rose higher than usual and burned on top as it got too close to the heat. Lesson learned: I’ll lower the rack next time. Have a bright day!

Making homemade coconut milk:
1. Hammered open a coconut
2. Drained the coconut water
3. Peeled the meat from the shell
4. Soaked in hot water
5. Blended & strained for creamy #coconutmilk
Has anyone made fresh homemade milk from scratch?

Attempting to make #homemade #coconutmilk with a hammer and a dream 🥥🔨—but now I’m left with all this coconut water! Can I swap it into the milk instead of water for a more tropical vibe? What do you do with your coconut water? Hit me with your best ideas! #BIPOCHomesteading #nutmilk

Homestead fam, what’s your favorite soup recipe? I’ve got a collection of past soups that range from ‘smooth and savory’ to ‘did it turn into a stew?’ Let’s swap some hearty recipes—bonus points if they pair well with sourdough! 🍞🥣 #soup #food #BIPOCHomesteading #SourdoughAndSoup #easy#chilly

Alright, #einkorn #sourdough whisperers—what’s the secret handshake? My starter’s been sitting here for two weeks like a stubborn houseplant, barely bubbling despite twice-daily feedings, warm water, and VIP tenting. Is einkorn just extra dramatic, or am I missing a trick? Send help (or a pep talk)!

Our yard is basically a mini fruit jungle with #plum, #orange, #lemon, and #fig #trees. Great for snacking, even better for jellies—if I don’t eat them all first! Anyone got killer recipes for these? And what kind of fruit #trees are you tending (or attempting to keep alive) in your yard?

🥥 Homemade #Coconutmilk 🥥
I successfully made fresh coconut milk in my Mio Mat, and in just 15 minutes, I had 3 cups of smooth, filtered coconut milk! It’s a bit thinner than I’m used to but still super fresh and tasty. Who else makes their own? Tips for a creamier batch? 🥥👇 #MioMat #nutmilk
