In this household, step one of making a sandwich is to make bread.
Yeast into sweetened water. What are these things doing?
They are sexing it up. Having babies. Cloning themselves. They can remake cells starting with one set of genes or the full deal of duplicating with two sets. They have the most awesome survival mechanisms built in. A single set of genes can close shop for survival mode and create a shell for itself and freeze, soar in the atmosphere and then drop perhaps into salubrious conditions.
Very quickly the stuff turned into foam. The flour is dumped onto the foam surface
Brittany sea-salt on top of the flour.
Top flour
Top salt
Top filtered water. I have one of those 10-stage towers.
This here is what you call shaggy dough.
Forty-five minutes later the dough wad is pulled and folded back on top of the pile, N-S-E-W.
Those letters "N-S-E-W" stand for "north," "south," "east," and "west." It's a code!
Then thirty or forty-five minutes goes by and that pulling and piling N-S-E-W again.
Then thirty or forty-five minutes goes by and that pulling and piling N-S-E-W again.
Why are we doing this so much?
Because the dough was never kneaded. This is how you make ciabatta. The pulling re-distributes the yeast and it substitutes for kneading. By the third or fourth pull-session you'll notice the dough feels like it has been kneaded.
😈Lettuce would go very well with this tomato.
😇I want only tomato.
😈And you have, like, a ton of bacon.
😇Yeah, but I only want tomato.
😈You haven’t used them but you still have some really good cheese.
😇Only tomato.
😈You’ve got Chinese cabbage that you could use instead of lettuce, and add Asian flavors.
😇Will you please STFU?
😈That’s not very angelic.
🙂Better?
😈You’ll want some fried onions.
Top bacon and average typical onion.
Thick slices like Texas toast almost.
The broiler was used to melt shredded cheese. The melted cheese holds the bacon bits and onions.
I guess my tomato sandwich is a BLT with cheese and onion.
