I tried to make bread for the first time last night.

I didn't take a picture. It looked like cake. It was terrible. I tried to make soda bread and to be honest had no clue how to mix it.

Post your technique/recipe. It looks like an utter failure, but at the least I hope it tasted okay.

Isn’t soda bread meant to be the easiest kind of bread to make, because it doesn’t require any yeast?

[Anonymous No.18388859]

>2 Cups Plain (Unbleached Flour)
>1 Cup Coarse Wholemeal Flour
>1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
>1 Teaspoon Bread Soda
>2 Cups Buttermilk (i tried to make vegan buttermilk)

>In a medium bowl, combine ingredients until well blended non-sticky dough forms (being careful not to over knead). Place ball of dough (slightly flattened) on a lightly greated/floured cookie sheet and carefully cut a five pointed star on the top of the bread. Bake in an oven preheated to 430 degrees F, for about 30 to 45 minutes. Check to see if bread is done by "knocking" on the bottom of the loaf. If the sound is somewhat hollow, then the bread is finished baking.

Honestly there are a lot of parts that could have gone wrong here. I tried to make vegan buttermilk but it didn't thicken up at all. I had heard that cups are dumb measurements for flour and looked up weight estimates, but it was nowhere near enough to get dry. I got bored of mixing and adding in flour eventually and just put it on the pan still sticky. I am a bread brainlet.

My wife made a transparent cutout of the bread for some reason. I guess to make an emoji out of.

>I tried to make vegan buttermilk

That’s where you went wrong. From what little I know, the whole reason you use baking soda in soda bread instead of yeast, is because when it mixes with the lactic acid in buttermilk, that’s what creates the levening effect in order to make the bread rise. Without it, you have no chemical reaction and something that looks like >>18388871

>>18388859
My honest advice is to... firstly perfect your vegan buttermilk recipe. I'm sure it can be done with correct times/temps, but be on point about it before trying to replace something essential to the recipe.

Secondly I think you took being careful to not over knead too seriously. The dough does not look fully homogenized, which means you under kneaded. A combination of the the two probably resulted in your failure.

Thanks for the tips. I'll probably revisit the vegan buttermilk - I get the idea this is possible, because I've now looked up straight up vegan soda bread recipes that suggest similar things (soy milk + lemon juice or apple cider vinegar). It would be neat to make a non fucked up version of this.

I also didn't use unsweetened soy milk - I wonder if that would have affected the acidification of the buttermilk? Honestly, part of my trouble is I've never seen real buttermilk, so I don't have a good frame of reference for what the consistency should be like.

[Anonymous No.18388910]

>>18388901
Yeah, those substitutes make total sense because it’s cranking up the acidity level, so you have a higher chance of levening. It’s definitely possible in theory.

[Anonymous No.18388932]

>>18388901
I would try to ferment the soymilk or vegan milk alternative with a classic buttermilk culturing blend.

Real buttermilk is quite uncommon. Look at fancy, high end grocery stores for the real stuff. It's completely different from the standard acidified garbage.

[Anonymous No.18388936]

>>18388826
LMAO what the fuck is this trash? I’m no baker but holy shit, my first loaf of bread made from scratch looked nothing like this.

[Anonymous No.18388943]

>>18388932
I'm seeing similar stuff online, yeah. Maybe getting some lactic acid is the way to go.

>>18388936
I hope this is entertaining, I had a good laugh when I pulled it out of the oven

[Anonymous No.18388945]

it looks like the Nasty Patty from Spongebob.

[Anonymous No.18388953]

>>18388943
No no. Search online for buttermilk starter or culture and use that. The bacterial culture does so much more than produce lacfic acid.

Also if you love your vegan buttermilk you can use your batch as a continuous starter.

Hold old is your baking soda? If it’s several years old that’s part of the issue since it gets less reactive over time.

wheres the salt. bread needs salt for taste, it needs salt to rise even in soda bread.

also soda breads and biscuits don't taste good to begin with.

>320g warm water
>8g salt
>1 small pinch yeast
Mix, cover, let sit for two hours at room temperature. Then in the refrigerator for between 12 hours and 2 days. Then take it out, shape it, proof it, and bake it.

For as much of a faggot that anon is, he isn’t wrong. Boomer 4chan, and not 4channel, was a bastion of good oc. Nowadays it’s just a bunch of faggot redditors looking to post their ss on their 4chan subreddit for pussies who are too scared of posting here but still want their le epig maymays.
