I got bored and decided to try making a caffeinated loaf of bread so I did a 1:1 replacement of water with a bloom energy drink. The dough remained sticky and had difficulty rising but it turned out WAY better than I had anticipated.
Recipe used:
A good tablespoon of active dry yeast with warm water and honey. I did let the yeast bloom a little longer than normal around 13-15 minutes instead of the usual 8-10
300 gram King Arthur bread flour
200g Crisp Apple Bloom
A good squeeze of honey
Dash of course salt
Drizzle of olive oil

How… how does it taste…?
You were so caught up with whether or not you could do it, that you forgot to ask if you *should*
Kyle, it looks like your Intrusive thoughts took over. I’m glad you enjoyed it at least! 😂
It’s got electrolytes!
I left r/stupidfood for a reason
Beer bread is old hat
We are doing ENERGY BREAD now!
I’m just wondering why haha glad it worked out tho
Ooh you should try it with the white peach redbull next. (Also, this post feels like it belongs on r/madlads 😂)
this is the scientific innovation that we needed. thank you
What kind of sugar do those have in them? Did it have acid like lemon juice or citric? Interesting. I’m down to make energy bread(s) I love to fuck with ingredients
Get out right now🗣
For science!
Every day we stray further from the light.
Mary Shelley, is that you?
You’re a mad man and I love it
How long did you bake this for and at what temp? I want to give it a try using my SOs favorite energy drink
Official bread of the NFL…
Bread needs its thirst quenched too.
That is can see your loaf actively SWEATING…
Is it good? How was it?
You are playing with the dark arts of bread making /s
Next up, Zyn loaf
I’m so here for the cursed bread loaf posts. This and that gummy worm loaf from a few weeks ago are going on my baking to-do list
“Its got what Bread [kneads], Electrolytes”
Ive always wanted to try to do Gatorade bread and this is now on my list
I used to cook with sucralose. Now I don’t. Can be harmful when exposed to high temps
Red boule gives you wings
this is a crazy way to use a free will and i’m really loving it😂
So are you fuckin’ cranked now or what?
Next time: 4Loco bread.
Brenergy: coming to a concierge store near you
Too much salt and it affected the chemical reaction. If it was a sugared energy drink, you’d have to account for the sugar too.
Lots of math to do, but an interesting experiment.
Well? How does it taste?!
That crumb is diabolical
Kyle’s Monster Energy Bread
This is an excellent use of free will congratulations
Ok I’m too stupid to know the answer
Would the caffeine carry over in any meaningful way?
It’s got what bread craves! (TM)
Thank you for just doing an experiment instead of asking ‘will this work’. Kudos!
How’s it taste and does it provide any kind of kick?
This reminds me of when my cousin and I made mead from Mountain Dew Baja Blast.
Does the caffeine survive the baking process?
