  The tenth hour of the day goes from 9:00 to 10:00.

  So quarter of ten is 9:15. I don’t know how one would explain the other possibilities, but this is the correct answer.

  Imagine it as a glass of water that gets filled for each hour. Once it is full, the hour has been reached.

  Hey, I really appreciate your comment and I hope you have all the fun in the world with the recipes that you like.

  But I have to be honest, this is not the bread I’m talking about. I’m really sorry, I don’t want to be your opponent.

  I have baked a few breads and sugar or honey is not needed to get the yeast going. That’s a misconception I’ve encountered before, talking to a US-American. What you described sounds lovely, but (for me) it goes into the direction of brioche, milk bread, Hefezopf (yeast braid) and other sweet breads bordering on cake.

  Real bread is: flour, water, sourdough, industrial yeast (optional), salt, spices (optional// caraway, fennel, coriander).

  ---

  The second trigger point: flour.

  I’m again sorry to offload this unto you, but I have to speak my piece.

  What is bread flour? The nomenclature is meaningless, but that’s the fault of the market. I need to know from a flour, which grain it comes from (wheat, rice, maize, spelt, rye, dinkel) and how much of the rind is still in it (how dark it is or how white). Protein content is a bonus.

  Just as a positive send off: I love raisins and sweet breads with raisins (Hefezopf).

  Tetris is about trying to fit into a society, that wants to destroy you.

  Space invader is about uniting all of earth’s peoples against a common challenge.

  I learned that as a child from my mum, so it seemed basic knowledge to me. But I guess, Americans don’t use scales that much.

  Most recipes say 100g per serving (1/5 pound) but it’s best to know your individual needs.

  Empty landmass isn’t the only important thing.

  I.e. Florida, the third most populous US state (21M), is about half the size of the whole of Germany.

  But Germany’s most populous state (North Rhine - Westphalia / NRW) has a pop of 18M.

  It’s waaaaay smaller, but the n of inhabitants is comparable.

  To the point: I don’t think , it’s necessary to know the names of foreign states. But it’s good to know roughly what’s going on in the world. It is no secret, that US Americans are exceptionally caught in their own bubble.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I believe him on a factual level, but not on an emotional level.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Historically

  You use that term rather lightly. Idk, if I think “historically” my mind goes further back than 120 years. At least to the Spanish Habsburgs’ occupation, maybe even Burgundian era, Lotharingia, the Franks or the Belgae tribes.

  It is technically history, but that’s like saying: “Historically, I nourish myself with broccoli pizza” just because I had some yesterday.

  If you think about fair trade and rainforest alliance, there are many “green” labels and fair worker wage/ no slavery labels. Most of them are owned by a brand and not transparent.

  We could use some clarification there.
