Sounds fun at first, intense period of initial fascination, actually really laborious, time-consuming, and not all that fun long-term.
Yeah, sounds about right.
I really like grocery store kombucha, and I've had several opportunities to get a SCOBY from friends who make their own kombucha, but I never have because, well, this.
Someone recently gave me a culture, and it feels like a curse. I've kept them before and managed to escape... Here I am, a slave to bread once again.
I felt the same way with kefir grains
or for that matter pickles, kombucha, kefir are all different types of tomagachis
Which makes sense since only people now in their 30s know what a tamagotchi is
And 40s. Sincerely, 42yo elder millennial who had a generic tamagochi knockoff for a while back in olden times.
They still make them! I just bought one a few years ago haha
Hope it's still doing as good as OPs sourdough
There's so such thing as starter "discard"! Add water, oil, sugar, salt, baking soda and you've got some vegan sourdough pancakes. Or use any of a number of other recipes
but no sense in wasting it.
I've been trying no-discard-micro-starters. I keep 8 g in the fridge, and build over a few days to bake. Not sure how viable it is long-term but it seems to be working so far. Would love anyone's input if they have more information about long-term viability.
I've been making a loaf every week +/- since March of 2020 with the wild start I cultivated. I don't understand the idea of discarding part of the colony. I have maintained the same colony in a little 12oz jar this entire time.
- Pull out ~half of the colony and use it to make bread.
- Add 4 Tbsp flour and 2 Tbsp water into the jar, mix.
- Let it sit for a few hours (Or don't)
- Put the jar in the fridge until you are ready to make a new loaf.
- If you feel like it, or you skipped step 3, pull the jar out of the fridge and let it sit out for a few hours.
- Go to step 1.
That's it. So simple, no waste.
For a while I was just dumping my discard into a hot oiled pan to make a nice little pancake. Some scallions, sesame seeds and teriyaki sauce for toppings. It's a lot to eat on the regular though.
Oh, I tried that once or twice
I'll have to try it again!
Yeah, a lot of the instructions you find about it on the Internet really ought to be a lot more clear that the reason for getting rid of half of it when you feed it each day isn't because it's bad or something, but rather just because you don't want it to outgrow the container.
Wait isn't all pancake batter vegan?
Pancake traditionally contains egg. Actually, eggs are the main ingredient.
No I haven't but I bought a Tamagotchi this week, lol.
