That’s because it’s a fad that only lasted two weeks 

Oops, it seems to have a longer lifespan

B-man, I know you're probably referencing my quote, but do you remember when he said that?

Yes it does and it make with ancient gain!

Sounds delicious but would it be even better with fresh flour 🤭

Interesting that you posted this. Last evening Mum and I were talking about back when I was younger and regularly baked bread.

Hello everyone

I am back home all safe and sound. Interestingly there were less crazy drivers than I expected

The flour I use is naturally low in gluten compared to modern genetically modified wheat. It contains higher levels of protein and vitamins, making it easier for many people to digest.

“Because it’s a heritage grain, it digests more gently and doesn’t create the sugar spikes you get from modern refined wheat.”

Okay, I understand the easier digestion and reduction in sugar spikes being a positive. However, I was taught that higher gluten flours produced better structure hence "bread" or "strong" flour which also have higher protein. Is your flour a single grain or a blend?

The industry optimized for volume, shelf life, and efficiency, not for nutrition, digestibility, or flavor. That’s why heritage grains, stone‑milled flours, and long-fermented breads have made such a comeback: people can feel the difference.

And given your love of heritage wheat and your attention to flavor, crumb, and authenticity, you’re picking up on exactly the right tension: industrial grain isn’t “bad,” but it’s definitely not the same as what people ate before the 1990s.

That... That was something.

I'd feel sorry for Simon Cowell if he hadn't been doing this same shtick for over 20 years.

There was another segment where he tried to do a costume change, from a caterpillar into a butterfly.

However, the leggings were too tight, and it had to be censored.
