Because all the bread and pasta is gone so they want to make their own

>>13971099
I bought it all, I'm sorry bro.

>>13971099
Because every dumb fucking woman on the planet thinks their gonna be a baker under quarantine because some dumb cunt on Facebook had some "omg homemade amazing bread!!" shit, but they won't and thill end up throwing it all away anyway

>>13971099
millennial can't cook.

>>13971099
I'm sitting on like 80lbs of various types of flour.
a/s/l and I'll see what I can do for ya.

>>13971099
Because it's cheap and doesn't spoil they can grab several bags of it and think that makes them safe forever. They are going to find out that bakind is hard when you can't manage a three ingridient recioe and that flour is going to sit there for years

>>13971186
It's very easy to use up flour even without baking.

>No pasta

That's the one thing no one around here is buying. They're in for some disappointing rice, at least.

Plenty of flour here, but no fucking yeast
I used to bake every weekend but now I have to eat shitty factory made bread
Probably gonna start my own sourdough soon

>>13971801
yeast is every fucking where

just cultivate some

>>13971801
>but no fucking yeast
So many normies didn't prep.
I could use some more because some nigger bought like every box at Aldi, but I got plenty for a month or two at least. It's around though.

>>13971801

Don't do it. It's wasteful.

What's a good cake recipe? I just recently got some cake flour and I'm looking for suggestions. I also have some cacao powder for some chocolate cake recipes.

>>13971832
>Don't do it. It's wasteful.
In what way? It's better than nothing at least

>>13971834
The absolute best chocolate cake is the Hershey recipe on the side of their box of cocoa. Don't overcook it and dry it out though. Better a little undercooked than overcooked.

I gotcha senpai.

>>13971858
Thanks for the recipe m8. I'm surprised the recipe doesn't have more butter in it.

>>13971099
It ain't the boomers OP. It's all the instagram twitter thots that want to bake a thousand different Tasty© (((recipes)))

>>13971801
Who's the slut?

>>13971876
I don't know what I hate more: people who think everyone is controlled by the internet, or people who are controlled by the internet.

>>13971882
Kat, and she isn't a slut

Where has all the flour gone
Long time passing

Boomers bought the bags, every one
When will they ever learn?

You're right. Who would want to have sex with a creepy cat girl that lives in garbage?

>>13971099
Just buy canned flour, Normies don't know that it actually exists.

>>13971874
american baking recipes tend to use vegetable oil rather then butter, chemically its a more pure fat and its cheaper but use it at the cost of less butter flavour if thats your thing. also note that butter is only like 3/4 fat, so if you use it use more then the specified amount of vegetable oil so it has the same amount of fat. apart from that they are essentially interchangeable, never tried to make pastry with oil though

>>13971874
Oil makes for a more moist cake.
As far as the frosting, too much butter makes for a runny product. You want it stiff enough to stay on the cake at room temperature.

your waifu is a slut, millions of basement dwelling subhumans think of her every night

>>13971099
Do they have whole wheat? I still have a couple bags left from a regular trip I did in January.

Stores have been doing that zero-inventory shit a long time, and millennials had been spending more at restaurants than at grocery stores, which run on different supply chains.

I have 9kg of bread flour, 11kg all-purpose, 500gr corn flour, 1kg whole wheat. Am i a filthy hoarder?

>>13971801
I'm nearing the end of my two pounds of yeast from costco :(

This shit wouldn't happen if people had already been feeding themselves properly

>>13971099
I miss having bread flour as well, anon. I was making some sexy focaccia. Thank goodness I stocked up on AP flour a week before the happening, but bread is what I wanna make right now and bread flour is fucking gone.. What do you even do with AP flour except cookies?

>>13972039
No, that's a normal amount for a skinny person to have on hand. Try not to eat too much white, especially enriched. This is a bad time to need an emergency appendectomy.

>>13972023
>>13971997
Noted. Has there been much study to how the quality of the oil effects the cake? For instance, I have vegetable oil, but if its been used in frying before, is it rancid enough that it imparts its impurities in the cake? If its a heavily flavored cake like Chocolate it might mask the flavor, but for something lighter I imagine it would be tougher.

>>13972043
You can use AP for baking still. Don't be too snooty to not think its viable.

>>13972046
>For instance, I have vegetable oil, but if its been used in frying before, is it rancid enough that it imparts its impurities in the cake?
use clean oil lad

>>13972046
I never fry with vegetable oil. I bake with it only. I wouldn't use that oil unless there was no other option.

For frying I use peanut or corn oil. Then I strain it through a small sieve with a coffee filter and reuse it.

>>13972056
It's not snooty, it's just uneducated. I thought bread flour was the only flour you can use for bread because of the high protein content. Can I just substitute the same amount of AP for bread flour in my favorite Ragusea shilled fridgebread recipe?

Breadbros, how long does the process take in total? Most sourdough recipes require multiple steps with hours between them. Is there any recipe without the dead space in between?

>>13972100
just use yeast

>>13971155
A little hard to cook when you don't have ingredients available you boomer nigger.

>>13972118
I want my loaf tasty

>>13972164
then wait for it bitch

>>13971832
just make stuff with your discard lol

>>13972132
>A little hard to cook when you don't have ingredients available you boomer nigger.
Get a load of this fucking normie!
>not stockpiling in January and February before the Boomer hordes bought all the supplies.

I made a focaccia with some AP, turned out fine. It probably would be better with bread flour though. try and source some vital wheat gluten and add that to up the protein content of your flour.

>>13972185
i just sold my switch for $900

>>13972195
My 8 year old nephew has a switch. Friend of yours?

>>13972212
yeah he's my little bottom bitch

>>13971099
Most grocery stores are limiting how much they put out so retards dont buy all of it at once.

>>13972078
Depends on the flour and the recipe. I normally use king arthur all-purpose for my bread which is not a "bread flour" but still relatively high protein. I ordered some more and it got substituted with gold medal flour which is apparently lower protein, I haven't tried it yet but I guess I'll find out soon whether it works.

Forkish memed me into making an 80% hydration dough and it's a sloppy fucking mess. It's a few hours into bulk ferment and when I fold it it loosens back up almost immediately, how fucked is my bread? I know a lot of people don't like his book, what's another recipe I could try to see if less wet doughs work better for me?

Man I wish I didnt have inflammation from eating wheat.
Making bread/pizza/cakes is so easy and tasty

>>13971099
Eat rice white nigger.

How long can your stash last you?

>>13971801
try your local bakery if they're still open, they gave me a big jar of dry yeast the other day for pretty cheap.

>>13971824
Or use a can of swill beer instead of water. The 'za has never been tastier.

A bakery using dried yeast? Disgusting.

>>13971899
I had sex with her and now I have herpes, how do you explain that?

Wanna know what’s sad? I live on a Indian reservation in Canada, and the store owners have started putting the bakers yeast under lock and key due to all the locals making ‘home brew’
(P.S. the local government shut down the closest alcohol seller, which explains the switch to ‘home brew’)

can i start a yeast culture using the yeast from a dry yeast pack? what about a 4year old yeast that has beeen through hot/cold cycles?

Its yeast thats hard to find
