Kneading dough! I think kneading dough is a great activity for teenage boys- gets out some aggression LOL! The boys were most upset I had posted that photo, and are hoping their homeschoolblogger friends don't see it!
I've been experimenting trying to get a good soaked grain bread lately, and have success using baker's yeast, now I'm going to attempt to do the same thing with sourdough culture. I don't like the really sour taste when the sourdough culture has been left for a long time, so I've been soaking the flour in kefir and water for 24 hours, then adding yeast mixed with a little water. So tomorrow I'll make two loaves- one the yeast way, the other the sourdough. I'm not brave enough to try it on our only loaf of bread so that's why I'm doing two.
The advantage of soaking the flour is it neutralises the phytic acid in the wheat, which acts as an anti-nutrient and stops your body from absorbing many of the goodies present in the bread and whatever else you have with it. |
