// WHY_LEARN_THIS?
To eat the best toast of your life. And feel like a frontier homesteader.
The Experiment: I asked ChatGPT to design a strict 24-hour crash course to learn Sourdough Bread. I stripped away the fluff. This is the raw data on how to go from Zero to Glitch in one day.
// THE_FIRST_HOUR
Most people quit in the first 45 minutes. Here is the exact starting instruction to survive:
"Mix flour and water. That's it. Start the culture."
// THE_AI_PROMPT
// THE_SCHEDULE
| Timeframe | Module | Objective |
|---|---|---|
| Hour 0-2 Setup |
Foundation & Mechanics | Mix flour and water. That's it. Start the culture. |
| Hour 2-6 The Grind |
Prep & Mise en place | Chop, measure, and organize. Chaos is the enemy. |
| Hour 6-12 Application |
Heat Control | First execution. Don't burn the house down. |
| Hour 12-18 Debug |
Troubleshooting | Pitfall Avoidance: Killing the yeast with hot water. Ideally 80°F/26°C. |
| Hour 18-24 Mastery |
The Final Project | Execute: Name your starter 'Yeasty McYeastface' |
Killing the yeast with hot water. Ideally 80°F/26°C.
The 'Float Test': Drop a spoon of starter in water. If it floats
// THE_GLITCH_TASK
To prove completion, I must execute this specific anomaly:
"Name your starter 'Yeasty McYeastface'"
// CONCLUSION
Can AI teach Sourdough Bread? It provided the map, but the Killing the yeast with hot water. Ideally 80°F/26°C. was a real human struggle. The result? Learned enough to be dangerous.
