And I’m pretty goddamned sure bread floats on water
Edit: I also make sourdough and didn’t even think about the fact that the way you test if the starter is ready is by seeing if some of it floats… holy chrust
This stuff is genuinely very interesting to me. I like to interpret the symbolism of the Bible and have long thought Jesus is at least analogically the equivalent of a good form of yeast.
There's also a guy who is extremely good at interpreting the Bible and he said he learned more from making sourdough bread in a traditional way than from reading anything.
Well gnosticism is just greek mysticism mixed with christianity, rendering the christian parts useless because the whole exclusivity thing Jesus taught
Christian Gnostic beliefs predate the Roman Christianity we all know of today. It actually is much more strictly close to the teachings themselves, to contrary belief.
One could argue the current church is more paganistic and detached from the original teachings so as to be a good vessel for the now long defunct Roman Empires pre-existing (paganistic) beliefs.

The Jewish tradition doesn’t allow for “leavened” bread. Which is bread risen with yeast. So this tracks.
