๐ง๐ง Garlic Cheddar Basil Sourdough Knots: A Story About Saying Yes
I was in the middle of baking the poppy seed sourdough for tomorrow's Bake-Along when Ryan called.
๐"Dad, can you make me some garlic cheddar bread?"
As if I had nothing else on my plate... I said yes. ๐
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
So here's how today actually went.
๐ฅ Filming all the stages of the poppy seed sourdough for the Academy
โ๏ธ Waiting on a new scale to arrive because the old one finally died this week, and yes... we had something of a funeral for it
๐ป Working through my regular workday
๐๏ธ Prepping for Thursday's podcast with Dave, Counterculture with Dave and Henry
๐ Folding a second dough using the pineapple juice starter from this week's experiment
That's a lot of plates spinning.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
But here's the thing about real baking.
It doesn't happen in perfect conditions with empty calendars and quiet kitchens.
It happens between phone calls and deadlines...
...and a son who knows his dad won't say no to a request for fresh bread. ๐งก

๐ฅ I pulled these out of the oven five minutes before podcast showtime.
๐ง Garlic
๐ง Sharp cheddar
๐ฟ Fresh basil
๐ฅ And that beautiful sourdough crumb underneath
Knotted. Brushed. Baked until the cheese caramelized at the edges.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
Ryan got his bread.
๐ฅ The poppy seed loaf is resting.
๐๏ธ The podcast got recorded.
๐ The pineapple juice starter is still pulling its weight.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
This is what "trust the process" actually looks like.
Not pristine.
Just consistent.
