All this talk about bread. I had to do something.

Just a no knead yeast bread. Just a few stretch and folds over the course of a couple hours and then shaped and baked in a dutch oven. It's not sourdough but it's still fresh baked bread that only took a few hours to make.

Also made some pepperoni. My plan was to make small snack sticks but the small diameter collagen casings I had were old and didn't smell right so I tossed them in the trash and pulled out some hog casings that are packed in salt from the refrigerator and went with that. It still tastes the same and actually the larger size will work great for pizza. What bothered me more was finding out that I was out of mustard seed when I mixed everything up.

Home made pepperoni sounds amazing. I hope to setup a sausage making kit one day and learn how to make good Italian sausage. Store bought around me is terrible and the good butcher is an hour away.

I've never prepared sour dough, but I want to. It looks so good. Makes me a crave a BLT with extra bacon.
It is shockingly easy:

"Moment of silence for bacon fat. I hate to say it because of the health and planet implications, but bacon fat–fried eggs are perfect in every way."

It also makes the best fried chicken ever. However after my heart attack it became really hard to convince my wife it was healthy for some reason. :mrgreen:
