We did this. Ten months ago we began cultivating a starter and making sourdough bread. We live up on a mountain and it took ten weeks for it to get really strong. But my wife makes the most wonderful breads and pancakes from it. I have lost 14 pounds without dieting or exercise. Way cool and cheap nutrition.
I love cripple creek and went down into the gold mine , twice. I am now into making sourdough starter. There are women that want my starter to make their bread. I would love some of yours. I live in Kentucky , however we want to move back to western Colorado and retire there. You did great. Love this.
Too many years of Catholic school taught me that Jesus’ first miracle was Wedding at Canaan - water into wine, but what the hell, it’s a great lecture while I’m baking this morning’s sourdough loaf. Cheers!
I just started growing sourdough culture, and I think the main reason is scale. You just can't make sourdough bread on the scale of baker's yeast bread.
The most important ingredient in a good bread whether it’s sourdough or any other is the one ingredient that’s missing from all of our lives and that’s time. True and sad.
Not sure I agree with the hypothetical "girl gets the idea to plant seeds". What would be more plusable is the an animal that had seeds in its belly was captured and killed to eat, then some seeds survived as the carcus was buried and someone saw shit growing from waste pit. they knew that animals ate seeds and they knew these plants grew from the ground so they put 2 and 2 together. Or thay probably buried them in the ground to keep them away from predictors and theives and they happen to start sprouting. You defiantly wouldn't go "gunna leave this food I need to live on the ground to be eaten by animals, I like starving and being beaten by my tribe if they knew i left perfectly good food on the ground " and you certainly would've go "gunna shove this food in the mud for kicks".
have been thinking about making a starter and having another try at sourdough, bake all my own bread now with commercial yeast, going to go start a starter right now...
Very interesting lecture, but the unnecessary hyper-gendered beginning bothered me! Recent findings prove that women hunted too, and more importantly, who cares which gender of early humans found what? We're here for the history of bread, not for the history of who did what, that's not relevant
Thanks for this lecture, I enjoyed it. The ideas make sense. Its clear from the comments on here that many men are uncomfortable with the idea of anything that revises history to show the genius and significance of women.
ALL grass seeds are edible. None are poisonous. Some are just larger, easier to pick, more nutritious and/or more palatable. They all need some sort of processing for human consumption, because they are too hard to chew otherwise.
I gave the lecturer a chance, but i have to second Jon Goat's comment. There is way too much speculation in this. The entire story of how farming was invented is fiction, he includes a bunch of details that he couldn't possibly know (the inventor of farming saw a seed but didn't pick it up because they didn't want to wash it off? it was a little girl? She had to sneak out to see this plant? the first crops were grown in a circular field?). Even the premise that one person invented farming, all at once, seems questionable.
Because nobody knows how agriculture started in the slightest. His story is just an embellishment to emphasize the point that it started with agriculture and the domestication of wheat and various other grains and millets.
First off, he doesn't talk enough about sourdough bread. Second, every "fact" he cites that I am personally familiar with, he is wrong about. This is mostly speculation and little substance. He doesn't seem to really know what he's talking about. I don't believe he's actually a professor.
Very, very interesting. But it's a great pity it only talks about wheat. Wheat may produce 'light and fluffy' bread (at least when the wheat germ - a lot of the nutrition - has been taken out of it), but as far as flavour goes then rye and barley are (imho) far superior to wheat. Rye bread is very widely eaten in northern Europe and barley bread across north Africa and the middle east. Both grains are not as rich in amino acids (proteins) as wheat, but knock the spots (regarding taste and texture) of the insipid wheat based 'white' breads served in Middle and Southern Europe and the USA.
2:49 This is painfully incorrect. In hunter gatherer societies today, at least, women gather the vast majority of calories for the tribe. Though let it not be forgotton that people living in the tundra during the last glacial period would have relied more on meat.
I think his suppositions about ancient prehistory are no worse than anyone else's. Supposing is a useful way to think about history. I do artesan baking with sourdoughs; I believe the lecture was intended to be informative and fun; I had fun and I'll share it with other bakers. I wish he had mentioned the Jewish tradition that's rooted in the Exodus of removing and avoiding all fermentation during the days of Passover. The underlying knowledge was and still is, of course, that even if you clean everything perfectly, to get back to having nice well-risen bread for the next Sabbath, all you have to do is to let wheat flour and water stand for a while and you're back in business. I'm not a Christian and I don't know what the traditions and rules about the bread used in the Eucharist are but I think he would do well to check with experts as soon as he can.
And that always surprises me! This paper is from a German group Riehl, S., Zeidi, M., & Conard, N. J. (2013). Emergence of agriculture in the foothills of the Zagros Mountains of Iran. Science, 341(6141), 65-67. doi.org/10.1126/science.1236743
The whole story about the invention of bread was just as fanciful as the story about the invention of agriculture. "It must have been this way" he says, based on no evidence whatsoever! I get that he wants to build an evocative picture for us, but that has to be balanced against telling us the truth; lying to make your story sound better should have no place in academia.
unassumption , on the contrary, academia is infested with best guesses and estimates. The measurement is only as precise as your instrument, regardless if the instrument is physical, mental, or social.
He also says a lot of his assumptions are not based on anything. The only real thing we know of is that leavened bread was first mentioned in ancient Egyptian writings and the rest is guesswork from there.
Why is he so fixated on gender roles ????? I thought we were talking about bread wtf He is literally taking every opportunity to shove gender into the forefront of this discussion.
... so an inspired little girl invented agriculture with a little circle in the dirt? I never knew that. Professeur Pittle make a bit of a mockery of this lecture series.
"Von Leewonhoek's microscopes" (27:10) Well, at least the word 'microscopes' isn't misspelled. But I'm sure that Antoni van Leeuwenhoek, the great inventor/improver of this world-changing device, deserves to have his name spelled correctly, instead of being butchered in this lazy manner. You can find the correct spelling of Van Leeuwenhoeks name in quite a lot of books, professor Erek Paland.
They are on the grains already, but the grains are likely foreign to where you're using them. The native yeast and bacteria where you live and are growing your starter, the ones that DO fall in to the dough (and the ones on your hands, your utensils, etc) will be the ones that take over and will maintain your starter in conjunction with the ones present in the flour.
This guy is the ultimate example of a denier of creation in lieu of ‘from me to you by way of the zoo’ unscientific evolution nonsense. And his image depicting ancient man as looking as some sort of ape like creature is literally comical.
Adam and eve created in Genesis chapter two, where the first farmers, the humans created in Genesis chapter one where the Hunter gathers !!! If you don't like this fact and its implications, then all you must do is prove God doesn't exist !!! Good luck with that
Normally the majority of proteins and fats come from the hunters, the majority of starches and sugars from gatherers (dependent on location and culture, of course).
Hunter gatherers knew that plants grew from seeds for uncounted millennia before agriculture. It just wasn't worth it to plant seeds and take care of them when it was so much easier to just harvest nature's bounty. Agriculture is hard work that isn't worth it if you have other, easier food sources. When climate change leads to higher population densities in smaller areas, there is often little choice. For example, Egyptian civilization developed as a result of the desertification of the Sahara. The Nile was the only local source of water & food.

Yo I’m high af right now and this is legit so interesting
Im baked
dude same wtf
this is so weird cuz im literally u right now
no bahaha how interesting is this shit when you’re baked
same
Fantastic storytelling, really enjoyed this
The talk gets significantly better after the prehistory portion.
Once I make some sourdough bread it quickly becomes history itself
After watching this enlightening lecture I am now committed to creating my own sourdough starter!
I love cripple creek and went down into the gold mine , twice. I am now into making sourdough starter. There are women that want my starter to make their bread. I would love some of yours.

1:49 Legend has it, this gent is still on the No Fly List till this day.
🍞 Thank you!
Very interesting and well-done talk. Never thought about how bread is made but clearly. the modern way maybe lacking in quality. Very enjoyable.
I just started growing sourdough culture, and I think the main reason is scale. You just can't make sourdough bread on the scale of baker's yeast bread.
I'd personally like to hear what the Earl of Sandwich has to say on the matter.
Did he just say that Cripple Creek, Colorado is a real place and not just a South Park joke??

I wish he had examined more research based events.
This lecture is story devoid of citation.

I'm super baked taking a dump and I ended up here
the rise and fall and the rise again
"The rise and fall of sourdough... and then another rise because people became bored AF during Covid!"
i loveeeeeeeeeeeeeee this bread

great talk, very enjoyable!
In Ireland Subways "bread" was ruled not to be bread due to too much sugar
This is perfect and ole boy's a surprisingly good orator
I'm actually eating sourdough bread right now its not hard to find depend which part of the world you are.
I live in the USA and in my area, it is SO hard to find a natural sourdough that has its tang from ferment and not added acids.
Thanks for this lecture, I enjoyed it. The ideas make sense. Its clear from the comments on here that many men are uncomfortable with the idea of anything that revises history to show the genius and significance of women.
big sky fairies is responsible for sourdough?
I couldn't make it past the bacteria falling out of the air to make leaven. Come on now.
The name is Antoni van Leeuwenhoek.

Australia needs your starter.

Men: They "hunt" and/or "cultivate animals" and claim they are doing work (yeah right)
Women: LITERALLY COPERNICUS (Yass)
Gobekli Tepe, proved that religion was being practiced way before farming began.

This lecture is just so full of errors. What a shame.
information tainted by bizarre gender bias
By middle east you mean Iran. Just say it! The first farms were found below Zagros mountains in Iran.
_The first farms _*_that we have discovered_*_ were found below Zagros mountains_
FTFY
And that always surprises me!
This paper is from a German group

Really ??? İt was funded by Syria 🇸🇾 long before İran..it was Syria that funded the Music and first alphapet in human history..
Hmm, the bread of the last supper is from a Passover Seder and that means the bread was unleavened matzoh, definitely not sourdough.

So, leavened wheat bread came before flat bread? why would they have an oven to only make porridge. I've had enough of this nonsense.
He’s a skosh off with his understanding of the Bible but it’s not his field so I get it.
Informative and educational. Thanks!
So agriculture, according to this guy, was the original feminist movement?
Why is he so fixated on gender roles ????? I thought we were talking about bread wtf

Yeast and bacteria don’t “fall into” the sourdough. They are on the grains already. This guy is ill-informed.

Among hunter-gatherers the majority of food is collected by the gatherers.
Normally the majority of proteins and fats come from the hunters, the majority of starches and sugars from gatherers (dependent on location and culture, of course).
lol no. Meat contained the majority of the calories.
