Today
was one of those days where I sat in front of the computer for hours
straight, so of course I didn't drag myself away to make sure I ate.
However, since I had an entire avocado, I managed to almost make my
point requirements (31 now, y'all!).
I did make the living bread
today, though. Right now it is dehydrating, and should be ready by 7
a.m. tomorrow. There is no exact timing when it comes to dehydrating
foods. I adapted Juliano's rye bread recipe on page 61 of his book. I
didn't have caraway seeds so I used cardamon, since the bread has carob
powder in it. I figured they'd complement one another. Can you tell I'm
not a "real" cook? But that's all right- no one learns anything without
being willing to experiment. I will document what I did in a separate
upcoming post, but for now I'll say that making the bread wasn't
difficult at all.
The main problem I had was the unexpected
tinyness of the loaf. It is soooo small- the size of a beefy hand,
really. All those days of waiting for this tiny serving? The recipe
calls for the "dough" to be 1 and 1/2 inches high- well, my dehydrator
barely accomodates that height! I had to squish it down a tad, and
instead of putting the lid directly over it, I decided I'd better put
one of the mesh trays over it and then the lid, that way the warm air
can circulate around and over it. If you have read my earlier posts,
you may recall that I have the American Havester dehydrator
that has several trays. I only stack the trays I use, so the dehydrator
can be very short when I dehydrate only one thing. (In the picture
below you can see I am using two trays). Juliano calls for the bread to
dehydrate at 90 degrees F, but I can only go down to 95 degrees.
