One week ago, I (@akipponn) post an idea to have a baking contest.
An idea: how about hosting a bread baking contest?
Maybe it's good to just get started 🥖
As it might be difficult for me to pick winners, I make the first one a "challenge". It means all the money in the pot will be distributed equally to participants who are picked randomly like @needleworkmonday does. @akippon donates 30 HIVE, which will be given to 3 participants.
Topic
The topic for the first challenge is "baking with natural yeast" as yeast is missing in some countries.
Yeast and flour makers ramp up supply as Americans turn to baking - Business Insider
One of the common techniques are sourdough, fruit yeast water ... etc. Sourdough starter will be ready in 5 days. We are happy to read about your technique and experience.
Baking with natural yeast may not be easy. Let's help each other to have a great result!
The challenge rules
- Deadline is 15 April 2020 (23:59 CET).
- 10HIVE for 3 participants.
- Post with #breadbakers tag and preferably to the community.
- Put URL of your post in the comments of this post with a photo.
- At least one photo. Three photos (or more) of your yeast, baked loaf and cut surface are perfect!
- Use of small amount of commercial yeast (1-2g for 500g flour) is allowed as some of you may not have enough time to prepare an active starter.
Your suggestions to the challenge such as rules, topics etc are always welcome! Please leave a comment to this post 😊
