Last Wednesday I got the notion to see how fast I could make a sourdough-like bread with a deadline of Sunday evening (a daughter was visiting this past weekend and I wanted to send 6 or so slices back with her). I knew it wouldn’t get to real sourdough stage that fast but hoped to get some twang out of it.
So I made a pre-ferment Wednesday evening and fed it twice a day between Thursday and Saturday and once again Sunday morning. On Sunday when I made the bread it did have some sour to it. I was using a recipe that called for an 8-12 hour preferment along with 5 grams of yeast (as doubled).
I hadn’t considered that with such an active and heavily fed sponge, I should have backed off on the yeast when making the dough. Doh!
It was spilling out of the bowl in half the allotted proofing times and did the same thing in the loaf pan.

Be still my heart (attack)! How does one eat that? One layer at a time? Like you say, “asking for a friend”.

Yesterday’s late lunch at a new offshoot of the Thaipark in the center of the city, and thus closer to us and everyone else and their posse 
Only 4 booths with limited offerings had us pick the som tam (Thai spicy >ouch< 
) and the moo ping, which had a distinct hint of coconut to it.

Individual enchilada casserole of potato, refried beans, and cheese
You’d think this was too heavy for August, but we’re experiencing 68F temps with heavy rain today. Sigh.
