Don't even think Fanny Haddock would have used this recipe......

Zoe Stavri has incensed many online with what she calls her 'slightly perverse sense of humour'


Bread of heaven: But Zoe's recipe has concerned some who say it's not hygienic
A blogger has live tweeted a food experiment in which she used yeast from her own * to make bread.
But although the nation has fallen in love with baking thanks to Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood, it seems many are finding this particular project hard to take.

​

Zoe Stavri, who tweets as Another Angry Woman, first mentioned thproject on Twitter Saturday, when she revealed that she was suffering from thrush.
​

The common yeast infection which arises when the natural balance in the * is upset and a yeast-like fungus called Candida albicans multiplies.

Zoe admitted that she has a "slightly perverse sense of humour", but some of her 18,000 followers were not on board with the plan when she added: "I'm f******* doing it", adopting the hashtag #c***sourdough.

Using flour, water and her own personal yeast, she mixed the lot in a bowl and left it to rest.
Zoe, who describes herself as a feminist , posted a picture with her next tweet showing the bubbling recipe as the yeast started fermenting with the caption: "36 hours into my # c***sourdough project. IT'S ALIVE!"
She was tweeting back supporters throughout, but when one tweeter Anna told her it could be "pathogenic... aka could cause disease," she kept on with her experiment.
She even went as far as telling her detractors she "will be calling the final result 'eating p*****'".
She had a few pithy responses for those who didn't agree with her.


She added on Monday: "If only I knew earlier that the best way to get gross men to pre-emptively block me was to make # c***sourdough."

On Tuesday, day four, Zoe 'fed' the sourdough concoction - where bakers tip away half the original starter and add extra flour and warm water, whisking well - and moved it to a bigger bowl.
A sourdough starter typically takes eight days to prepare.
Although she's still not baked the final product, it's clear that the bread in question has caused a debate online.


Zoe has also written in more detail on her blog , commenting that the project has caused "visceral horror".
She explained the process of sourdough breadmaking and the reasoning behind her project: "Making sourdough starter entails encouraging stuff that’s present in the flour and just sort of floating around in the air in your kitchen and on your utensils to grow.
"That’s what wild yeast is. If that idea sickens you, avoid all sourdough, because that’s what it’s made of, but remember, people have been making and eating sourdough for millennia, and the human race hasn’t died out yet."

Rising up: But although Zoe's experiment is not unheard of, she says her followers have been unhappy with it Promising to keep readers updated, Zoe added: "I know I’m excited to try whatever happens – in fact, watching the life that has sprung from my loins has finally made me understand why people want to have children (although I still prefer my sourdough starter: it’s lower maintenance than a child)."
Earlier this year, PhD student Cecilia Westbrook made two batches of natural yogurt using lactobacillus from her own *.
She ate the sample with blueberries, saying that it tasted like Indian yogurt , but Larry Forney, a microbiologist at the University of Idaho, warned against the idea saying they "could end up with a bad batch".

 

Next time the Mrs gets thrush i'm getting the breadmaker out.

"Stop scratching yer * and make yourself useful".

 

Once she's done just stick a few slices in the toaster then you can scrape yer * cheese on top and grill it.

 

You don't need a bread maker. Next time she has thrush just fire some water, flour and salt up there, few hours later she'll give birth to a loaf.

Viola!

 

*...... * genius!

I'm off to the shed to make you two * a medal. :smiley-laughing002:

 

Gives a whole new meaning to "bun in the oven".

 

It's moments like this that make life worthwhile

 

Naw, yer awrite thanks

 

Seen the jackass lads make a nice omelette from their boak once.

Looked nutricious.

 

yeeze are deranged ya durty fekkers .

 

She's probably a feminist who sees this as a way of smashing the patriarchy.. manky *.

 

When she takes her period she will be making jam sandwiches.

 

Dunno if I believe this story. Something fishy about it.......

 

Just the thread I wanted to read prior to having a sandwich for lunch :smiley-laughing002:
