I started baking bread to spend less time on the internet. It backfired.

In October, I cracked.

I didn’t tell anyone that I’d reached a breaking point in my relationship with screens, and I didn’t try to use any of the many tools or tricks to cut back. Instead, I decided to pick up a new hobby, one that I foolishly thought would not involve the internet. After all, what could be more off-the-grid than learning the age-old art of baking bread?

I had the best intentions with my new hobby, but it was just easier to get started with an assist from the internet. I researched how to make my own starter  — the base of real sourdough bread — by turning to Google.

And now, a toast to the #CeleBreadies hashtag

Love puns, bread, and celebrities? I feel like a lot of you do. If so, please direct your attention to Twitter, where the hashtag #CeleBreadies provided a fair amount of yeasty delight on Wednesday.

The concept here is simple: fresh-baked bread puns made using celebrity names. 

There is literally nothing else to it, and there doesn’t have to be. And so I present these examples without further comment, hopeful that you’ll also almost spit out coffee when you see the phrase “Sharon Scone.”

Please enjoy.

The last great internet debate of 2017 is: How should you cut your toast?

TwitterFacebook

How do you cut your toast? It matters. 

Just as 2017 comes to a close, the internet isn’t done arguing with itself for the year yet. The most recent flame war is over how people cut their toast, and why any other answer than the one you choose is wrong.

Twitter user, hallamnation fired the first shots over the weekend by tweeting three debatable options for the preferred methods of cutting toast.  

After that bread pops out the toaster and you smother it with butter you have a variety of cutting options.

This bakery is selling bread made from insects

Would you eat this?

A bakery in Finland has rolled out bread made from crushed crickets, said to be the first of its kind. 

The bread is made using flour ground from dried crickets, as well as wheat flour and seeds. 

Each loaf costs $4.72 (€3.99), contains around 70 crickets and has more protein than your average loaf of wheat bread.

“It offers consumers a good protein source and also gives them an easy way to familiarise themselves with insect based food,” Juhani Sibakov, the head of innovation at bakery store Fazer, told newswire Reuters. Read more…
