yup yup

Sounds interesting. You going to leach the tannins in some water?

>>18731023
Isnt acorn bread something people have traditionally only resorted to eating if they faced starvation?

>>18731031
already did, about 13 times, these are white oak though so it shouldn't have needed that many washes. The water is still changing color but the acorns don't taste bitter so whatever.
>>18731038
All I know is that native americans ate it.

I took a huge acorn bread this morning.

>>18731023
will the coin be included in your dough?

>>18731047
What do they taste like? I once heard someone say acorns taste like maple syrup

>>18731047
>>18731031
How does one make acorns non poisonous? We have two trees in the garden.

ragusea has a good video on this

>>18731107
Okay adam

>>18731120
can i interest you in some cereal ?

>>18731038
Technically, you constantly face starvation; for if you don't eat, you die.

>>18731107
thanks. This guy is unbearable but the video your recommended is informative.

>>18731053
Ha. Ha.
>>18731055
No, I'm already taking zinc supplements.
>>18731062
earthy from what I've had. Not very mapley to me.
>>18731080
You grind them up and and leach out the tannic acid by soaking them in water.

>>18731121
no thanks, Kellog.

>>18731138
Nice thanks. Its always good to know how to turn the plants around into food. Do you like the taste or is it just for experiments sake?

>>18731023
interesting

>>18731143
just an experiment. I doubt it'll taste like much but last time I added too much vanilla extract and tried to use yeast Incultivated from raisins. This time I'll just use baking soda. I would like to spend years of my life grafting oak trees to get nuttier, sweeter, bigger, and less poisonous acorn though.
>>18731147
indeed

>>18731023
why is that quarter so small

>>18731195
he used a shrink ray on it

>>18731192
Thanks for sharing your experiment. Gave me some ideas.
Yeast from raisins? Why not homemade sourdough?

How many, only one?

It's done, it exploded too. I add too much water and had to add more flour
>>18731269
kek
>>18731288
Yeah most plants and fruits have dormant yeast on them, there's even yeast in the air right now, You just have to wake them up with sugar water.
I don't know how to make sourdough and it didn't cross my mind at the time.
>>18731316
one big pan worth.

me eating some of op's delicious acorn bread

>>18731953

cool thread OP. are we gonna get a review?

>>18731953
you trooned your bread out I see

>>18731023
why? your making them from red oaks. the tannins will kill the flavors.

>>18731996
read the thread you tardy tard

>>18731953
is it good?

>>18731958
can't tell if he's laughing or disgusted.
>>18731972
that's poopie, how rude >:(
>>18731983
someone else said the crater looks like a slug
>>18731993
bread don't have genitals though
>>18731996
>red oaks
proof? 99% sure they're white oak.
>>18731992
>>18732007
It has a nutty and slightly sweet taste. despite adding baking soda the bottom is denser while the top half tastes more like acorns, especially the crust. it also has this nutty aftertaste kinda like honey nut cheerios. I'd love to make it fluffier next time but dunno how, I'll also try to use only acorn flour and no wheat flour next time.

>>18731062
That's "helicopters", and I never found like they did either.

>>18732083
>helicopters
huh?

>>18732075
Huh this was honestly a well thought out food experiment, in regards to fluffiness cut your baking soda with bicarbonate 2/1 feed the yeast Extra and maybe add in a whisked egg for aeration, honestly homemade breads of this sort tend to be dense due to the added ingredients gg anon

>>18732089
Maybe it's a regional thing to call them that. "field maple seeds"

Cool thread OP. Refreshing to see content here every once in a while.

>>18732075
wow this looks really nice. good work OP. back when I still lived in New England I thought about harvesting acorns but never really took the initiative. I'm glad to see how this worked outt.

>>18732126
are they edible?

>>18732075
based thread. I'm surrounded by oak trees and have always thought about using some of the acorns. every year I have to sweep a few yard trashcans full of them off my driveway... I don't even bother with the shit in the yard. Easily several hundred pounds worth of acorns go to waste

>>18732371
Along the lines of acorns. Technically yes if you were starving to death, but you'd have to eat so many to get any real calories and they are horrible. Extremely astringent, with maybe a very slight maple flavor.

>>18732099
thanks for the tips
>>18732140
>>18732146
thanks bros
>>18732393
that's a lot of acorns,bmost of the ones down here are red oaks that are the size of a dime. Luckily I found bigger ones in the area but the first time I did it I used those really tiny acorns that were absolutely packed with tannins.
>>18732423
I think I've seen those before, maybe I'll watch a video on them. I've been identifying plants in my neighbor to see what else I can cook.

>>18732075
did you enjoy it or no

>>18731023
That looks exactly like what I throw in the trash after making tea from dry kava root.

>>18732002
>>18732075
white oaks produce acorns in the spring. im not sure of a white oak species that produce nuts in fall.

>>18732975
it's alright, but I made a lot more than I wanted so I'll have to find something to do with it all.
>>18732995
you can make tea from acorns too.
>>18733048
oh so these are red oak then, that sucks. I'd love to find some white oak some day.

>>18731023
so why did you post actual dogshit

>>18731996
fucking retard you leech the tannins out of the corns.

>>18731996
read the thread dicksuck

>>18732075
Based thread, thanks for posting. Will have to keep this in mind.

bump

>>18731023
Cool, now throw it in the garbage because I don't want any food that's been contaminated by dirty currency that's probably passed through 200 people's hands.

>>18735822
>implying the coin went into the dough

>>18731953
Nikocado?

>>18735890
kek

Very cool, OP. Would you post your recipe?

>>18736991
I eyeballed everything and measured nothing.
The flour should have been 1:1 with the acorn flour but I added too much water so it was more like 3:1
1 egg
cap full of vanilla extract
some water
pinch of salt
a cup and a half of sugar
2 spoonfuls of baking soda
350° F for 30-40 minutes

>>18737471
thanks bro merry christmas

>>18732075
>mmm bread.jpg
It certainly is, OP

>>18735873
The dough is sitting on cheesecloth. So is the coin. That food is contaminated.
Enjoy your bacteria-ridden bread, though.

>>18732126
They're called maple keys, properly, but call them helicopters and most everyone knows what you're talking about.

>>18731038
That describs most of my favorite foods.

>>18731024
>>18732075
I remember eating acorns back in the day. In hindsight, I'm surprised I never got sick. The ones I ate were bitter and nutty and I humored doing something like this. Good job on the bread.

are you sure you are making acorn bread and not a documentary about germans favourite past time?

>>18740122
huh?

>>18740116
lol why'd you eat them raw?
>>18739363
bacteria can't move that far that fast and it's not cheescloth. even if it were contaminated, which it isn't, the heat from the oven would kill any bad shit. Nice bait though.

>>18732126
My cousins and I used to gather these and throw them off of the balcony of our grandparent's house. When they're still green, you can squeeze the pod and make liquid squirt out.

>>18731023
so ...that's not a turd in toilet?

>>18731953
Make sure to beat your dough before baking so it doesn't try to escape during the baking process
