They are buying all the Flour here in germany, but the Yeast and even the backing powder is still full.
sweetascandy018
i tried to find flour and failed
Dentistman
Couldt find yeast in stores in Norway, but i mean sourdough is always an option, or flat bread
spagelbagel
Everyone took all the chicken breast and thighs, good thing they left all the whole chickens that are about a 1/3 of the price!
SJSHARPei
I went to 5 stores to find yeast for my pizza crust on pi(e) day.
Spuduck
I need a light fluffy recipe that doesnt require much kneading due to hyperextendy joints in fingers and wrists
CaptainCale
Tried to make Irish Soda Bread for today, assholes took all the flour.
Femail76
Yes they did :(. Mine was empty
bumpercat
My thoughts exactly!!!
Gryphonosiris
I have this as one of my plans. been meaning to make from French loafs, maybe even start a sour dough culture.
GrumpyOldMillennial
When we saw that it was breaking containment last month, my housemates and I stocked up on basic bread machine ingredients.
GrumpyOldMillennial
We stocked up on some other stuff, no hoarding, but 2 weeks worth of supplies. We wont eat fancy, but we will eat.
Amousewithchees
Honestly home baked bread can taste -way- better then the stuff on the shelves.
flyingskejaquita
1820 tastes much better
DrNick
No preservatives.
ToastyPenguins
At yeast you can make your own bread
Someshithead241
Maybe not where you are from, but they certainly did in my area. Every week it's getting harder and harder to get the weekly shopping.
Someshithead241
No frozen stuff, no tinned stuff, no meat, no bread, no pasta. Fucking joke
mingleddruid
Flour and yeast is gone from my local stores. No sugar either. I don’t want to hoard, I just want to buy groceries and bake a cake.
RicklessMorty
Recipe?
Amblydoper
Flour, water, yeast, salt, time, heat.
martineb72
Opposite here, out of flour and sugar. But still had bread. Not all breads but some was still left.
Tinkerb1tch1984
I prepared by also buying flour and yeast, but i have never made bread dough. Thank god for internet
Rivalyn
as it turns out, bread still dries out when it's frozen so some of that stockpiling is absolutely going to go to waste.
thecaptain115
You gotta get uncut loaves and freeze it. I freeze bread all the time.
notreallythatunpopularopinionrabbit
Croutons?
Escapist83
Dry bread is still edible bread.

I ended up getting tortillas. so now im having PB&J tortilla.

Ive done this and its not that bad. Delivery system is effective
nousernamesleftforthekids
Cook em! Seriously butter the outside, fill w pb&j, cook on medium till a bit crunchy. Fuck yeah.
DangerousNoodle
Thank you for the idea! Keep forgetting I’m really good at baking bread! It’s actually super easy.
kittyreaper
That's actually a good idea. I'm stuck inside with a 8 y/o for two weeks. Let's make bread!
gwhh
Did you cook it over an open flame outside, in true 1820 style?

peeps near my aldi cleared out the pallets of flour and sugar, like bruh wtf
by5andy2000
Same here. Also south Texas so there are no beans or rice. Fuck.

Jokes on them, our household keeps keto. Almond flour and monk fruit still seem to be in good supply. We made some amazing soda bread.
Benegesseritwitch75
I got flour, yeast, sugar and chickens making eggs, bread and pancakes and noodles carbs ftw!

Supermarket bread lasts forever...it just lacks nutritious value.

I also picked up four and yeast. I can now make any kind of baked good I end up wanting
forty0z
you can freeze bread
gregariouslouganis
All bread freezes and thaws well. Tortillas, bread, naan. Also put it in the fridge to let it last longer. ;)
Intrspace
Frozen bread tastes like ass. Rye bread at least. People don't really eat wheat bread here.
forty0z
Eh, I understand some people prefer fresh bread. I always toast mine so it tastes the same regardless.

This is a virus not an earthquake, there is no reason for the power grid to fail.

I find it unlikely that such essentials will be shut down. It would have to be an absolute apocalypse

No, just an average disaster (Sandy)

Yea but that caused damage to infrastructure and had people leaving their home towns for safety
Rikkytikky
You can flush toilet paper until water is gone ?

Ah, I see. Basic utilities like electricity never go out during crisis situations. How stupid of me.

FFS, this isn't an meltdown or anything, and they're not bedridden. It's going to suck and I respect them for it, but vital jobs carry on.

I think those fancy city folk have designated shitting streets instead.
Jovelana
Started to bake bread for financial reasons and it's great. Tastes so much better and I get something to do with my spare time
bonly89
Ah spare time...that thing you lose if you ever manage to not have financial difficulties anymore.
TechnicallyTrueIGuess
I made 2 loaves today, it was awesome! My first time making bread. Also, a pretty chill relaxing activity to help cope with the stress.
sindorius
Now I understand why all the great bakers I know are stay-at-home moms.
userfriendly19777
And you don't have to add a ton of sugar in it.

Suggest a recipe to start with? Plz
RicklessMorty
... spare... time? What’s that?
DireSickFish
You're about to find out when everything shuts down.

It's the time that you could be doing literally anything else except browsing Imgur. It's now. You are wasting your spare time right now.

Technically, my Imgur browsing time is "work time"

I can be taking a dump and baking bread? Both involve loaves...so...

This one is pretty brilliant. https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/11376-no-knead-bread
TeddyDaBear
Do you want a no-knead variety or a mixer variety? I make both at home.
Jovelana
2 cups of water, 1pack of dry yeast, sugar, salt, rolled oats, all purpose flour and oil. I like to wake up my yeast by adding it in warm
Jovelana
Sugar water and then I add about 1/2 cup of oats so they soak for a bit and the yeast gets rocking. Then I add salt to taste 1-2 tsp I think

Get less sticky and peels from my fingers and the bowl while I knead it, work the dough for 5 minutes before adding to the oil so the gluten

My fav is the milk bread, sponge method from here: http://bakerbook.altervista.org/?book=secret#calibre_link-6
nellietta
I'd like to know too.. Bread always comes out real tough, not soft, and tastes like yeast
TeddyDaBear
Do you want a no-knead variety or a mixer variety? I make both at home.
Mlemford
No-knead, I dont have mixer
TeddyDaBear
I started with this recipe and just started adjusting things as needed like more or less water: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQtsvPlE7w8
TBJ1118
No-knead, 50-60% hydration, just mix 1kg flour with 600ml water, 2-3g yeast. Mix and let it rise for 8h. Create forms, let rise4h, cook 200C
Mlemford
All purpose or bread flour?
TBJ1118
I normally prepare a different one, 24-36h with 12% protein flour, but this I wrote (8-12h) works with all purpose
TeddyDaBear
Bread Flour is best, but AP will work too.
Steven054
Financial reasons? A loaf of break is like $2, you ok man?
HenryLongfellowIII
Maybe he’s baking pot bread and clearing $5k/day tax-free.
Jovelana
We're on a tight budget and my business isn't blooming so I got time in my hands and it's good to get my old skills in use
MobileKeepsMessingUp
True, he might be talking about nice bread tho. Also, it's incredible how far some flour and yeast goes.
Steven054
I mean... You still shouldn't be eating bread that much, to the point where it would make fiscal sense to make it yourself from scratch.
TeddyDaBear
I make about a loaf a week and usually throw some out as it goes bad before I finish it. Better quality bread and no sugar makes sense to me
TechnicallyTrueIGuess
Homemade bread is 1000x better than a bag of cheapo sliced bread. It's got those fancy air pockets, nice and moist, crusty crust. So good.
TeddyDaBear
$3 for a loaf, or $3 in ingredients for a much BETTER loaf that doesnt have a bunch of sugar - and flavored how you want.
iwhannafly
I buy my bread flour at Costco $5.99 for 25 lbs
Steven054
If you're worried about the financial hit a loaf of bread will do to you, you should be more concerned with your utility bill & running the
Steven054
Oven for all of these loafs of bread...
TeddyDaBear
Your going to use the oven or stove to make food anyways, why not make good bread too? And Im not concerned about finances of buying (1/2)
TeddyDaBear
vs making bread, Im just pointing out the fallacy of cost vs outcome here. The sugar in store-bread also adds health costs too (2/2)
BigglesMcSqueez
I live in a somewhat knowhow area, and ALL of the bulk stuff was gone long before the low prep skill food was even touched.
Hendlton
Same here. As soon as things started looking worse, even yeast was gone instantly. Some people still bought tons of TP, but what can you do.
Fatbird
I found one 3-packet set of pizza crust yeast tucked in between some chocolate chips. that's it. That's all I could find. I just want bread.
NoNoNodontstoparockin
Where is this "knowhow" area?
BigglesMcSqueez
Close enough to a major metropolitan area but far enough away that farm animals and gunshots are normal, or rather required.
notreallythatunpopularopinionrabbit
I can still get everything but eggs. Idiots bought out all the canned soup...why not make it if you're stuck home anyways...so much salt
terithian
I was at the store today and there was basically no meat, but there were still plenty of eggs. I find it interesting 1/2
terithian
how people from different regions prioritize different groceries in this situation. 2/2
notreallythatunpopularopinionrabbit
A lot people here doing the keto eat lots of eggs thing, so it's not as surprising as it is annoying. There were egg limits before this
PunchyFromCleveland
Are they idiots because they bought canned soup or because they bought ALL of the canned soup. Honest question.
notreallythatunpopularopinionrabbit
All of the canned soup, I have some for an off day once in awhile, but really that shit is terrible for you if you eat it all the time
BigglesMcSqueez
Canned soup was relatively abundant, thats one of those single serve items.
BigglesMcSqueez
Ramen noodles on the other hand, gone.
Taxicat
Some people don’t know how, some people have to try and manage it while wrangling bored kids, some are just plain tired.
notreallythatunpopularopinionrabbit
I have 3 bored kids and a FT job. Kids can help cook just fine, use their boredom to stir and chop some veggies. Even the 3yr old.
Taxicat
That doesn’t work on all kids.

I'll be teaching the 7yo how to bake while we are home.
TanDumpLord
Like everyone's gonna fucking bake now. They're gonna eat fast food, watch Netflix and let the flour chill for another few years.

The second day all the yeast butter and eggs ran out at my store. Suddenly everyone decides to bake.

The food delivery companies around me are offering a no-contact delivery. Tell them where to leave the food, & even take a pic to show them.
nuggethop
They’re touching the same things you touch, and then you touch your face and your food. Not sure how well that bodes.
JustinSane6
It's useless. But much like airport security, it doesn't help, but it makes dumb people feel safe. Same people that have 300 rolls of TP.
Thatautismguy
Already made 10 calzones and they are in the freezer.

TanDumpLord
Nice! You're my hero. I want some calzones too :(
BigBeeOhBee
Now that's the best idea I've seen yet.
Thatautismguy
Binging with Babish has a good recipe but it can be scaled down quite a bit to make more reasonable portions.
BigBeeOhBee
Thank you, I will check it out.
BigBeeOhBee
It has been checked out. I was not savvy enough to know that the dough needs to chill that long. But thanks again.
Thatautismguy
You're welcome, and remember, practice makes perfect :)
OtterlyMagnificent
So...it'll go bad? I bought flour so I would have enough to make my Mac&Cheese.
Thatautismguy
Whole wheat flour lasts 3-6 months and unbleached all purpose lasts about a year (both longer in the fridge & freezer)
WeAreAllStoriesInTheEnd
You can get weevils and bugs in flour, rice, and dry pasta. Freeze it for 4 days to kill any eggs, then store in airtight containers :)
OtterlyMagnificent
That's not a bad idea. I don't have any airtight containers right now, but I can probably get one like what my mom has.
CardioVascular
A food safe 5gal bucket from home depot should do it. We did that when we didn't have a big enough rising bowl for some rolls we were makin
OtterlyMagnificent
I'll have to look into that. Not the Orange Buckets though...those aren't food-safe I don't think... (Also...I have 5lbs, not 40lbs...)
