still no dry yeast in stock at either supermarket... lol

I was unaware of just how long fresh yeast lasts and how much you use at a time, because making yeast bread is generally Wax's hobby. I was put in charge of buying yeast yesterday and accidentally bought 150% more than usual.

We also need to replace the wheat flour already due to underestimating how much baking we'd be doing in the next few weeks; yesterday's foccaccia was made with a combination of the durum flour that is for pizza dough and barley flour and the texture is quite entertaining. It has a pleasant nutty flavor, is extremely golden and a bit... crackly? ish? while still being soft and pillowy even though it didn't rise as high. The air pockets are evenly distributed and small.
