WBB # 15 : Breakfast from Leftovers – Round Up

[This round up is sadly without the beautiful pictures, all you bloggers sent me, because I’ve been working on a makeshift data card internet connection which is slower than the internet you must have experienced in the early 90s. So please forgive me! Also, in case SPAM swallowed some of your entries, please post your permalink in the comments, so that I can link that up.

  • Bread for the week sorted— sourdough with around 18% ragi flour 20% whole wheat and the rest all purpose flour with a higher hydration that led to a more open crumb. Higher hydration means I can’t shape them too well. Almost plopping the dough onto the pan / tray and let it take its own shape. I don’t mind that, because I love the crumb here.

  • My beautiful avocado plant grown solely from keeping the seed floating in water...this must be 4 months old, I think. . Don't throw away any avocado seeds without trying this - remove the outer papery cover from the skin. Poke 3-4 toothpicks into the seed around it, so that the toothpicks can rest on the rim of a glass such that the bottom of the seed touches the water. Keep changing water every week. First the root will grow then shoots will come out, then leaves. Truly beautiful. . Save this post, try it out and tag me with your avocado plant progress. . 🌿🌿🌿FOLLOW @saffrontrail 🌿🌿🌿
  • The beauty of homemade butter.... . I used the paneer making box to shape the butter like this :) used some of the fresh butter to go with today's Adai and the rest has been made into ghee. . Rough process-- Buy full cream milk. Boil the milk and refrigerate overnight. Collect each day's cream in a box and keep in freezer. Once box is full, thaw, remove into a bowl, mix in some yogurt and allow cream to turn into sour cream. For around 500 ml of collected cream, I use 2-3 tbsp of yogurt. This process takes 4-10 hours depending on how hot the weather is. Add water to the bowl and using electric or balloon whisk, keep whipping until the butter separates out and floats. Collect butter in a box with holes to allow excess buttermilk to drip. Freeze it to retain shape or simmer this to make ghee.
