You know how some people don't like cilantro? That's me with sourdough , but you have me wondering if I've just had BAD sourdough bread?

Maybe you can advise me, then, on whether I should purchase my local bakery's 15" $30 artisanal sourdough pizza. Waste of $$ or worth it?

What are you putting on it?

Good question. I'd probably just get a margherita pizza 🍅

Would probably be good then. The flavor is a bit on the delicate side so if you want to actually enjoy anything more than your pizza being slightly sour I’d go minimalist.

Thanks for the feedback. I've been wanting to give it a try, but the price tag had been putting me off.

Do you have a freezer? Bread freezes and defrosts amazingly well, so that loaf could last a long time.

Good advice. But they are selling a small-ish pizza, so I really just want to know if sourdough makes a good pizza crust.

It makes amazing crust assuming you like sourdough :)

@emilia.bsky.social this is the truth whether you like it or not

How could you out me like this

Damn straight. My daughter makes it, and are we grateful over here? Yes

Some sourdough cultures have been kept alive for decades and passed down through the family. A good sourdough can almost crawl out of the bag under it's own power...

My favorite!

Yeah, going after that vs. one of those "fifty different plants in this, including a few that are technically extinct" loaves is the mark of someone who Does Not Know Ball.

It would kill a weak man, apparently.

Erm. What's a bread slap?

I do think it's become a little bit fetishized as like the "one true bread" with too much emphasis on recently-invented quality markers. It's also prone to being used in applications it's not particularly suited to, but when it's allowed to shine on its own terms, it absolutely fucks.

Today was sourdough baking day. Love the way the house smells

Just can’t seem to get a starter going. Any recommendations? I get flat, watery slop every time.

It's a dry slap tho

You don't understand the relationship between bread and beer until you smell a sourdough starter.

Union Market sells a really good house sourdough that is appropriately moist and doughy.

I just… also man would she hate bread in Europe

Specifically Vienna because omg it is so good

Just bought my first sour dough starter kit and can’t wait to make some!

It also has big pockets
