+ | Today was the first day of Chloe Langford and my microresidency at FoAM. A definite highlight was being given about 22 kg finest semolina duro flour by the fantabulous La Belle équipe pizza restaurant. We are still trying to source a large oven in the canal/st Catherine area of Brussels. | ||
+ | |||
+ | other thoughts from today: | ||
+ | * reinforcing dough through grass, straw, hair, fibre, like glass reinforced concrete. | ||
+ | * experiment with Mycellium and yeast crossculture within flour structure. | ||
+ | * The oven as truly precious space: Time, technology, cleanliness, | ||
+ | * drying bread dough - how will it effect structural stability? | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====2013.07.11 day 2==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Made some dough from my starter and kneaded it with fibrous plant inclusions, baked some shapes. The bread is stable though not pneumatic, will have to see how it holds up when cold tomorrow. | ||
+ | * Constructed aluminium forms for dough to drape across. | ||
+ | * made a beer starter with Trappist beer. | ||

+ | From Chloe Langford, a quote: | ||
+ | |||
+ | < | ||
+ | My ancestors took what they had, which was nothing, and left their routines as slaves in Egypt to follow Moses into the desert in search of the promised land. For forty years they wandered through sand. At nights they rested where they could, against the dunes that had been built up by the winds. Waking the next morning, they took the flour from their sacks and moistened it with their spit and beat together a smooth dough, then set off, stooped, across the sand, the dough spread across their backs. It mingled with the salt of their sweat and hardened in the sun, and this is what they had for lunch. Some people spread the dough flat, and that dough became matzo. Others rolled tubes and fastened the ends, and those people ate bagels | ||
