It's humid. Humid as in take one step outside and the humidity coats your body.
So I started bread. Lord knows the yeast likes this weather. I experimented with a wheat-white-rye loaf.
In my big glass bowl, I mixed:
2 cups warm water
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon yeast
(The honey really gets the yeast really moving. It's not necessary.)
In another bowl, I mixed:
2 cups (and a little more) unbleached white flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup rye flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
Then I put three cups of that mixture into the water/yeast froth and stirred with my wooden spoon until dough-like. I covered with a damp towel and now it needs to sit for three hours. Then I'll add the rest of the flour and need.
