I had fun putting this time lapse together. It's my sourdough starter rising over the space of a couple of hours after being fed 🔥🔥🔥 #slowfood

SOURDOUGH PIZZA 😍🍕 Really happy with how it worked out. With a bit of practice and less messing around with the dough I think this will become a household staple. Pizza base sauce from Wicklow based food producer The Piccolo Pizza Co. Happy St.Patricks Day, everyone 🍻🍕☘

Is it too early to start making dinner? These homemade sourdough bases are nearly ready to be used as the perfect pizza base. Beers and Pizza later on for Paddys day dinner. A winning combo 🤤🍻🍕🍻🤤🍕🍻🤤

DONE AND DUSTED! Literally. The biggest challenge for me was timing. Timing the starter, leaven, bulk fermentation, proofing and then of course the actual baking. Have you tried your hand at #sourdough yet? And what was the challenge for you? Curious to know 🤔 #bakingnewby

BRINGING THE HEAT. My friends have had to put up with me waffling on about hot sauces for too long so they shut me up with this beauty of a gift. A @MicsChilli selection basket. So far the 'Inferno' & 'Damn Hot Wings' sauce are top of the crop for me.

'GOGO' by @troublebrewing is my drink of choice for the Liverpool vs Man City match. First time trying it and will be buying it again. Very crushable, juicy pale ale. Exactly what I needed after a night of cocktails last night 😅 #NEPA #CITRA #GALAXY #IRISHBEER #HOPS #LOCALBEER

@breandankerin Will do. I'll be looking in to it more over the coming days so will post any decent findings. Cheers 👍🏻

@AnotherFerment I haven't read much books on baking ( it's one area I probably should read up more on) if you have any good suggestions, could flip em on? :)

This sourdough starter is coming on nicely. Gonna get my first bake on this weekend. Any tips? I'll probably feck it up anyway but sure that's all part of it eh!?

@TheAmyCo There was a time when people used old dvds as a method of distracting speed guns on the roads 🤣 The idea was they would stick the dvd to the front centre of the window and hope the beam would bounce off it. Havent heard any real success stories but sure look.

@breandankerin Thanks for that! I'll keep this in mind going forward. Where did you learn sourdough baking? I was looking at books like the one from Tartine online.

@AnotherFerment Probably a bit late, but I found it best to start at a relatively low hydration (50%) and when I got used to everything, gradually increase the hydration to where I like it (I prefer 60). Its hard to just jump into a very sticky dough without practice on lower hydration I found

@Graeme_C @FuerstWiacek I spotted these beers in my local @MolloysLiquor. Should have picked one up by the sounds of it.

Have you ever made cocktails using #kombucha? It's a brilliant mixer. It has flavour, tang and depth that normal tonic or soda water lacks. I was very impressed at how well it worked. If you don't drink it can also make a mean #mocktail. Just remove the #booze 😉

Last night myself and my girlfriend celebrated her birthday. Instead of sitting at the TV again (yawn) we made a spotify playlist, cocktails and got silly drunk. Probably the most fun we've had throughout the lockdown. Here's one we made using Prokultures #wildberry #kombucha.

@craftbeersoflre It's a cruel world but we have our tvs to shout at so all will be good 🚀

@AnotherFerment No fucking way, but sure some get pleasure out of beating a injury riddled team down to ten men after 3mins.

My 7 year old's Sentences. No3 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

@LINEMANbeer Looking forward to trying it. Cheers folks 🍻

We've got a couple of new beers to tell you about. First up... ELECTRIC AVENUE #1 A clean pale golden 6% IPA with a gentle carbonation and delicious aroma of the freshest Strata, Centennial and Cascade hops.

@ellie_beoir Probably a lot more sustainable a resolution than most. Nice one 👌🏻

I need more leopard print in my life. This is my 2021 resolution.

First time posting in a little while! It feels refreshing after a bit of time away. I've been nurturing a Sourdough starter for the last few weeks and am almost ready to get my bake on. Any tips or tricks for first time sourdough bread bakers appreciated ✌🏻Hope everyone is well.

I don't use twitter as much as I do Instagram so apologies for the radio silence of late. I'm gonna try up the aunty a bit with posts. Hope everyone is keeping safe. Look after yourselves 🔥
