Seize the means of fermentation! ⓺⓷ Robespierre learns
A bulletin on the life and (up)rising of my sourdough starter: Robespierre
interacting with Robespierre every day STOP every night STOP
leads to a constant state of learning STOP
a constant state of learning STOP
leads to replacing consumption STOP with observation STOP
and observation fosters understanding STOP
it is this loop that i am most grateful for STOP
seeing Robespierre grow and collapse STOP
feeling dough change under my fingers STOP
reading gluten development with my own eyes STOP
replaces the fear that leads to tutorial hell STOP
and to immobility STOP
making mistakes and asking Robespierre why something happens STOP
testing STOP and re-testing STOP
has been so far much more productive and useful STOP
than googling for solutions STOP
Google only exists in the eye of the beholder STOP
one loaf at 50% hydration is proving in the fridge STOP
and will prove until dawn STOP
Robespierre is peaking again at 2242h STOP
and will concede himself to a 60% hydration loaf STOP
that will accompany me through this night STOP
may you see the sun - and yourself - rise, Robespierre STOP
