no high-end three-year sourdough-with-5-different-grains bread
especially in a family with children you really need quite a lot of bread and you really save quite a bit.
My wife always makes high-end sourdough. But it doesn’t take 3 years. Start the basic sourdough once and store it in the fridge for about 2-3 weeks, after that it’s easy. Take sourdough, top up to desired amount + 100g. Let it rest for one day, put the 100g back in the fridge and fill the rest into form(s), let it rest for 180 minutes (and no longer) and then bake for 70 minutes. You don’t need yeast, no oil, nothing. Just flour and salt. The first breads taste good and after 2-3 months the sourdough really gains flavor. Our kids don’t prefer any other bread (despite 100% wholegrain spelt/white/rye). If you bake a lot yourself, whether with sourdough or yeast dough, I can definitely recommend a grain mill. We have a Mockmill 100 (bought used a few years ago from the classifieds for just under €100) and since then we’ve only bought whole grains. It’s cheaper and the flour is guaranteed fresh. Milling time for 500g is maybe 1 minute – of course all wholegrain. For waffles and pancakes, I mix 50/50 with type 405 flour.
96 is almost as expensive as BE. But you only need one day and you can’t fail ;)
Two years ago the B95 cost me €260, the BE would have cost €650. … now we have a van with 3t GVWR. It’s allowed to tow 2.2t, but I’m only allowed 1.25 :(
Offer for the insulation of a gable wall 90 m2 WITHOUT scaffolding, WITHOUT extending the eaves with normal ETICS and plaster = €230/m2. The wall has no window and so far had clinker slips. Somehow I had about €150/m2 in mind…:oops:
I asked here a few months ago, the current feedback then was also €160/m². But I think that was for new construction. In existing buildings they’re really charging a lot right now.
