If I am just starting out, do I need a grocery bought Greek yogurt? From the video it seems you mixed the milk with yogurt you had already made

You will need a few spoonfuls of a starter yogurt for each batch - either your own or store purchased

@TheHandmadeHomesteadКүн бұрын
Yes, you need a very low setting -so you can add warmed milk, use warmed water around the jars, and wrap a few towels around a slow-cooker and accomplish the same thing. You can use a dehydrator, or the breadproof setting if your oven has one. You can also use warmed milk and culture wrap it really well and stash it in your ( off) microwave overnight too. There are many ways to accoplish this without extra dirty dishes. 😉

Angela, I love that lipstick shade on you! You are so creative and I agree that presentation is everything. I've made a few un-paper towels for myself but I've used flannel and terrycloth. They're really absorbent but the flannel shrinks after washing so I find I'll have to cut them at 15" squares and maybe they'll finish shrinking to 11" after a few washes. What size squares do you use? Do yours shrink much?
@TheHandmadeHomestead13 күн бұрын
I cut them around 12x12 and end up with 11x11 - ish, but I don't measure I just use a pair of electric scissors and cut them to us up all the fabric. I use them on my cast iron pans alot too.

I’ve been using the bread machine as a mixer so much last few months that I’ve practically worn it out. Guess it’s not designed for daily use. lol. Quicker n easier to wash up than any of my stand mixers. Your bagels look great. I’ve shared your vid with my DD hoping we can make a batch when she comes to visit. Thanks for your recipe.
@TheHandmadeHomestead19 күн бұрын
Yes, I do go through at least 2 bread machines a year. I'm on #2 this year. Especially if you do bagels because the dough is more stiff but it IS a lot easier to clean, I don't have to baby-sit the machine, it eliminated stretch/folds and timing for them, and I can set the delay timer too if for some reason I want to delay the mixing. I'm so glad this is working for you too!

We especially like the texture of our SD. It’s not as dry or chewy as commercial but holds up well with sandwiches. Recently I tried a hybrid experiment and included about 1/2 C of SD starter with the liquids but also included some yeast - about a scant tsp (+/- half of usual amt). Proceeded like making regular yeasted bread. Surprise! Texture superior to “regular” yeast bread…. But the Time was like normal yeast bread. Taste also improved. We likey! We still make regular SD bread but our hybrid is our go-to when we need a loaf in a couple hours.
@TheHandmadeHomesteadАй бұрын
It's probably the extra moisture the sourdough starter provides and the reduced rise from the lowed amount of yeast that's improving your texture - either way - Big homesteader-hug for thinking outside the bread box and trying a new idea. I do add sourdough starter to yeast bread as part of the hydration too sometimes for enhanced (though limited) improved digestibility. The tangy flavor of strong starter makes me cringe tho. so I feed my starter well and often and use a lightly closed lid to increase the lactic acid (yogurt flavors) as much as possible. lol

Those peppers are beautiful, even the ones I wouldn't dare eat because I don't like spicy food. A few years ago, I first saw Shishito peppers in a supermarket so I bought a small bag and made pepper steak. It was a mild batch I think because I tolerated them well. I'm guessing that's what Notapeños are like?
@TheHandmadeHomesteadАй бұрын
Shishito peppers are mostly mild - every once in a while you'll get a spicy one. We love them and grow them too. The Nadapenos have zero heat -- and Habanadas (zero heat Habanadas) are also a great pepper to get the flavor without the heat.

Just make sure it's a heavy duty floor loom if you want to make rugs. Table looms are wonderful for light weight projects but rugs need a hard beat and a lot of muscle. I use 50" wide Antique cherry Norwood looms to make rugs. I have an 8 harness and a 4 harness.
