For context, I’m on an iPhone using Firefox. I can’t use uBlock Origin, but am ready to block on the DNS level after this.
Hey- that’s pretty handy. I didn’t know about this. Thank you!
You can only save 20 recipes before you have to pay, but you can view as many as you like without saving them. Still, a very nice app IMO.
theres also cooked.wiki. tack “cooked.wiki/“ onto the start of a recipe URL and it scrapes and reformats for you
What a sad state of affairs that such a site is even necessary. The internet was supposed to make finding information easier, not some increasingly kafkaesque tug of war.
Thank you for posting that though. It should come in handy.
ah yes, a $1500 phone with software that won't allow you to do shit under the flag of security and UI.
They're all headed that way. And Google wants to do it to PCs too.
All people said not to mention that recipe is unnecessarily complex.
Refrigerating the dough for an entire week will make it rather less potent, not more, while most of aroma components accumulation will happen through the first day. Not to mention here you allow it to stay at room temperature for 8 hours first before that, which is an overkill.
Just keep it at room temperature for 2 hours, let it stay in your fridge for 24 hours and you're good to go. Or just use the sourdough directly, that'll do.
Also, I hope you had at least 3 days (better a week for wild starters) of renewing the sourdough before you put it anywhere. Otherwise, it can have a very unstable and potentially even dangerous microbial composition.

Where do you suggest to learn more about what you just said?
Unfortunately, most of my sources are either in Russian or very academic. This open-access article does a good job of reviewing many academic sources, if you're interested.
Out of what's popular and available in English, I'd strongly recommend Jeffrey Hamelman's "Bread: A Baker's Book of Techniques and Recipes". It contains a lot of useful info on both sourdough and straight dough technology in a way that is home baker-friendly.
Use justtherecipe.com - it will not only cut ads, but also the sob story about the writer's grandmother and how they kept this thing a family secret for exactly 137 years until now.
I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOUR GRANDMOTHER IN FACT IM GLAD THE BITCH IS DEAD
-Things I never thought would cross my mind because of a cookie recipe
we've long transcended beyond User Experience and into Advertiser Experience
Just like television - the ads are the content; the shows are the filler.
I low-key find it more infuriating that you're not using an adblocker...
That’s not exactly easy on an iPhone
Edit: I guess I was wrong
You can still block ads on a DNS level. Simply add, base.dns.mullvad.net as your primary DNS Server and that should do you a lot of good just there. I'm sure there are additional steps one could take as an iPhone user though.
AdGuard works just great for me on iOS.
It is, though. Safari has native support for 3rd party adblockers, it’s just that many people don’t know. AdGuard is one of the good options. Safari is doing the actual blocking for the most part (the extension just hands over the filterlists), but nowadays some of the adblockers include an optional extension that applies some rules for complex ads that are not supported by the Apple API, such as on YouTube. As an end user you just have to install and enable the adblocker.
Then there are also other browsers available with built-in adblockers. Admittedly those are all limited in some ways because they’re forced to use the same browser engine (outside of the EU), but they are very effective at blocking ads.
I legitimately thought this was satire
Are things really this bad without an ad blocker these days?
Yes. For a long time I was trying to "play nice" and not go adblock. I didn't mind ads that were unobtrusive and figured I'd roll with the ads for the sake of the sites. With things looking like this, and deliberately having ads load a little late and relayout the page to replace a link just as you were about to click in it, and ones that slipped even the pretense and pop up and ad instead of the actual link or button the first time. I would tend to just close such sites in disgust, and told my Google feed to not give me contemt from a couple of the worst owners that recurred.
The final straw was a site that made the play embedded video function be ads the first two times on clicking it, as well as looking like that. On top of just having to give up on sites more and more.
I read that majority of Internet users now use ad blockers. That didn't used to be the case, and the large chunk of sites like this I'm sure is why.
Not using adblock is like not having a spam email folder.
Edit: this is what it looks like with adblocker on. iPad mini 5 with LockDown app, and raspberry pi running pihole.
If ads annoy you as much as they annoy me, get an adblocker. But if there are sites that you use regularly, and block ads on, you might consider contributing to their patreon or whatever.
I recently switched from iPhone to Android, and let me tell you it is ridiculous how much more control you have over your user experience. Adblock alone made it worthwhile.
Anyway, on iPhone i used to use reader mode to filter all that crap. Though some asshole sites block the function
Try pasting the link in 12 foot ladder next time. Works beautifully. https://12ft.io/
Firefox has a reader mode built in. Works in mobile too. I assume it's very similar to this, it just cuts out an extra step.
Firefox also has ublock origin support on Android.
I use an app called Recipe Keeper. It's amazing because I just share the page to the app, it extracts the recipe without any nonsense, and now I have a copy for later if I want to reuse it. I literally never bother scrolling recipe pages because of how terrible they all are, and I decide in the app if the recipe is one I want to keep.
It also bypasses paywalls and registration requirements for many sites because the recipe data is still on the page for crawlers even if it's not rendered for a normal visitor.
Yeah, that’s fine, but at some point we need to start talking about alternative methods of monetization for websites. On the one hand, compiling a list of recipies on a website and maintaining that website is not easy or cheap and the owners should be able to make money out of it. On the other hand, the user should be able to pay for this comfortably and have a nice experience on the website.
This ad model doesn’t serve any of the two, business or consumer.
That's nothing, look at this site I went to when I needed new jeans
I want a browser extension where I can press the "never again" button and all links to that domain will be marked. Then I know never to click to that search result or shared link.
I've sort of done this manually for things like Twitter with some userStyles, but it is annoying to update and haven't configured it on mobile. Kagi site-blocking is also great but only works from search results.
I loaded up a download page on a work computer recently, forgetting it didn't have adblock. My god the amount of ads was insane. There were literally about 20 ads surrounding the content with varying styles and I could actually not figure out at a glance what was the main content. I don't understand how anyone uses the internet raw anymore.
In the address bar of the Firefox app there’s a little icon that looks like a page with some lines on it. Tap that on any page to go to reader mode. Gets rid of most of this junk with a single tap.
Ad"Choices"...ugh, get stuffed.
This is actually one of the biggest reasons why I prefer Android over iOS. In the case where I am forced to use iOS, I use Brave because it comes with an adblocker. Not perfect, but it's the best of a crappy situation.
Does Firefox on iPhone not allow/have extensions?
Unfortunately, no. From what I gather, any other browser on an iPhone is just Safari with a different skin.
Not only a different skin, a kneecapped version of Safari that doesn't have the root level access to Javascript performance boosts that Safari proper does.
1Blocker for the win slightly. It can do an device-local loopback adblock VPN. Until Apple says no.
Also cooked.wiki.. just put it in front of the url and boom. Can save your recipes on there too👌
Reader mode in browsers is great for this situation. Firefox has one for both desktop and mobile. I think brave does too
Sometimes recipe sites will have a "Print Recipe" button that gets rid of all that junk.
Or view in reading mode (Firefox)
CopyMeThat https://apps.apple.com/us/app/copy-me-that-recipe-manager/id956800243 is great. Give it the url, it extracts the recipe. It not only gets rid of the ads, but also the obligatory family history of how the recipe was brought by Nana from the old country, followed by a tedious retelling of a touching story about her. And optionally saves it to your account so you always have it. And there’s web access so you can use anywhere it and a safari extension on the Mac.
