huh, so I'd heat that in the oven? Notice the product description 'seasoned with flaxseed oil' . Didn't think of that oil for seasoning my cast yet.

Good tip as a mw alternative.

Espresso and macademia are creative flavours in bread.

I think I was thinking the arrowroot sends blood sugar up higher half hour after eating than even white flour.(according to wheat belly and grain brain books...iirc) But I guess that doesn't mean the taste profile is sweet, you're right.

This is cool, thanks again. Do you know I have over 120 cookbooks/food books and I wish I had digitized(external hard drive or stick or something) them all, already. For non-internet times. Recipes are a valuable asset, probably don't have to tell you. As valuable as a strong immune system.

It's only a cup, but you can omit the arrowroot if you like. I tend to use more of the coconut flour as I like the taste, but experiment and see what portions work for you.

Most cast iron do need seasoning. Put your oven on at 250 for two hours after taking a towel and some oil and laying a coat on the cast iron and you're good to go. You will like the taste of the wrap after pressing it in a cast iron maker.

I have many recipe books too. However, I've found a lot of keto ones online and experimented with my own. All trial and error.

Certainly.

You will need the following ingredients:

1 cup of almond flour
1/3 cup of coconut flour
1 cup of arrowroot flour
1 teaspoon of sea salt
2 teaspoons of active dry yeast
1.5 tablespoons of chia seeds
2 tablespoons of psyllium husk
1.24 cups of filtered water
2 teaspoons of maple syrup
1 egg

Directions.

Mix together all of the flour listed above in a bowl (medium to large size) along with the sea salt. Heat the water to around 110 degrees F. add the maple syrup to the hot water and stir. Add the dry yeast and stir. Let sit for 10 minutes. It should be foamy and bubbly.

Stir the chia and psyllium power into the yeast mixture and let sit for a minute. Combine and then pour mixture into the flour/sea salt mixture. Kneed the "dough" for a minute and then place back into the bowl to rise for an hour. Pre-heat oven to 425. Take a damp paper towel and cover the bowl. Shape your "dough" into a circular or square shape (your choice). Next take an egg and scramble. Score the top of the bread like a tic-tac-toe design and brush with the egg wash. Place into the oven for about 40 minutes. Let it cool and your good to go.

Once you get good at making the bread above, you can experiment with herbs, honey, seeds, nuts, etc. to make it taste even better. Let me know how you make out.

Baking bread is a pretty intoxicating smell. Done in 16 min

Baking bread is a pretty intoxicating smell. Done in 16 min

At least 2 times every week my house smells of bread baking. I learned to bake sourdough bread about a month ago, I haven't bought a bread since, just flour. It's very simple, it just takes a lot of time (most of which is doing nothing actively) and some planning if you have a schedule. It's the best bread I've ever tasted, I dont think I can go back or even bake with store bought yeast again.

Good job, sourdough is nice.
It is easy to do this. Just the time commitment, like you said.

so, where do you keep your stsrter, does it give off a scent?

oh Serenity does sourdough and said he doesn't use yeast so it must be a starter he keeps. I think its like a hunk of wet dough you have to keep warm somewhere all the time until you use it to make new loaf. Never tried it.
Mine turned out delicious but...I'm a self-forgiving baker, lol Improved in texture only after completely cooling. Didn't rise too much(in bowl or while baking) but still very nice. Thanks again! I had fun

In pioneer days, a lot of people baked bread every day.

Yes. Learned that in the Laura Ingalls Wilder series of "Little House on the Prairie" books I started reading at 8 years old. The spirit and high moral values for women and description of hard work is fascinating in those books.
I'd love to bake bread everyday. Super cheerful memories from baking for my grandma and parents on vacation. I'm not sure why do we ever stop what we love doing? Was it really lack of time and energy?

girls enjoy creating from a mans provisions, to feed him, to keep him healthy... so that he can continue to provide (and protect)

its all very primal.

Yes, it tastes better after it cools and settles. I happen to love the taste and the bread is actually really healthy and good for you. Add different spices and flavors and you can make some really tasty concoctions. It doesn't really rise much as the ingredients do not really give it the ability to do so.

Maybe when you were twenty or three years younger. Most females cannot boil water; let alone cook a meal.

Interesting comment. I would say that it true, as long as the girl is high interest.

The impression I get from the whole counterculture and feminism movement is that they resented being domestic, keeping the house.
Also interesting that you talk about providing (along with protecting) being primal, when guys here dismiss that as a beta trait.
That's never sat quite right with me. In hunter/gatherer days, the man was always out hunting to provide. Yet PUAs want to tell you that women automatically look at guys able to provide as chumps.

ok, because for the next one I was going to try to be a little hotter on the yeast mix and then maybe proof it in a turned off oven <100°F . But if that's all she'll rise then so be it.
I was thinking cinnamon and raw sunflower seeds next....this combo tastes good in oatmeal soo.....

completely agree-the very millisecond he doesn't protect however.....(my new realisation((Jan 2020)) of the most important manquality is this ----his protective quality imo and subjectively, personally speaking....the very instant he can't........ .well, you can't negotiate desire----there's repercussions. End of relationship.

harsh, sorry

You can blame feminism for that.

“No, you should not just stay at home doing whatever the heck you want with a little bit of housework while spending your husband’s money in whatever the heck you want whenever you want! You should go work a job you don’t even really like that stresses you out half the time, so that you could be empowered. Better yet, don’t even get married in your 20s, only focus on your career. By the time you’re in your 30s, your career will be all set and you’ll finally have the freedom you want! Oh wait, because you’re in your 30s, no guy even wants you? They only want you for sex like how you did in your 20s? Shame on them for sexually objectifying you much like how you did in the previous decade! They should see you for the true strong woman that you are! You don’t need a man. You have your own life outside of them. You’re strong, independent, have a career that gives you vacation once or twice a year, that’s not so bad, right? You’re only in your 30s, you have the rest of your entire life going for you! With life expectancy going up, you’ll probably live till you’re in your 80s. You still have 50 years left! And what do you have to look forward to?

Work! You can just work, for the next 50 years! Yay to empowerment!”
