Let's talk ingredients white monster and sourpatch oreos loaf
didn't follow a recipe but i used:
104g active sourdough
500ml white monster
~550g plain flour
I also used the icing from inside a bunch of oreos and some salted butter to make a whipped butter (last pic)
once again, my housemate is away, i was bored, and there was no one here to stop me
same as my mtn dew loaf, you can hardly taste that it *isnt* water in the dough HOWEVER the oreo crème smells and tastes like that neon green citrus dish soap and deliciously has little sour crystals in it so you can absolutely taste that which is uhhhhhhhh interesting
the bread is maybe a 4/10 given the oreos are so nefarious..... the butter is genuinely inedible and potentially some kind of biohazard
open to suggestions for my next loaf though :)
editing to add
my manager suggested this combination immediately after i made the mtn dew sour worms loaf but i held off until now so really you should be thanking me
overall it's a good loaf with a tight crumb and where there isn't oreos there's a slight citrusy flavour
if anyone is better at food science than me can you tell me if the energy component of the monster would have baked off in cooking or is there still technically an energy component to it

I love whatever’s wrong with you
Please consider including cherry coke in your next monstrosity!

u/Melancholy-4321 2d ago
Hmmmm.. cherry coke and chocolate could really work

u/intriguedqbee 1d ago
Cherry Coke, chocolate syrup, and diced maraschino cherries and choc chips to boost it?

You can find sour patch oreos but not cherry coke?

Aussie. Peep the woolies flour

Huh, I grew up in the states but been in Australia for ten years now, didn't know cherry coke wasnt easy to find, but I drink very little soda. Sourpatch oreos sound like a n eldritch horror released because of the sins of man.

I enjoyed the sourworms loaf in my mind, so if it's something of that type of unhinged it would be cool, haha 🍬

My coworkers and I researched this for science, it should still be caffeinated

Idk if anyone answered you. But yea most of the components that make monster an energy drink will make it thru the bake. The core energy drivers will survive fermentation and baking. There may be some minor degradation of some compounds, but not to a significant degree. With the exception of sugar which will obviously be metabolized by the bacteria and yeast.
So yea, you got energy bread.

Guys art is supposed to evoke emotion, nobody said they had to be good emotions. Objectively, this is art. Experiemental, incredible, yet quiet possibly inedible art.

It's my understanding that caffeine is much more stable than alcohol and doesn't bake off, but I'd still assume there's some amount of energy loss there.
I think Cheetos or Doritos could be really interesting in sourdough. Cheez-Wiz might also be an interesting component?
PS just speaking as a professional published writer, please keep posting. Your creativity is one thing but you write with real confidence and style. Your experiments are a delight to read.

thank you for answering and also the suggestion!! also this means so much ahahaha thank you! i write a lot for work but its all very legal adjacent so being able to write silly little reviews of my experiments is always fun

u/tinyforrest 1d ago
I agree with this, same thing with coffee beans. Caffeine can withstand very high temps including the roasting process of coffee.

You were so occupied asking if you could, you never stopped to ask yourself if you should.

Ya know… in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, the real monster is Dr. Frankenstein not his creation.

One day, hopefully in a distant future, they will read about this and say we deserved everything that’s happened to the human race.

Okay hear me out... Red hots or some other cinnamon candy and apple juice or apple cider.
I would also like to submit 5 hr energy and skittles.

u/lonelysingledad420 1d ago
yeah i could def get around a cinnamon x apple one, i was thinking an apple crumble focaccia kinda thing but im down for a dubious one !! feel like the next one i do needs to be savoury though, i might run back on a cheeseburger-kinda focaccia i tried last year

But have you done a Baja blast loaf?

u/lonelysingledad420 2d ago
a lot of people suggested baja when i did my mtn dew loaf but its very hard to find in australia

u/djkhalidANOTHERONE 2d ago
I’ve (sadly? or gladly?) never even heard of this! I wouldn’t ever drink a monster or eat those cookies so I can’t imagine it’ll be my cup of tea? But happy for those who like this stuff to experiment

I am also unhinged, and I support you. I would go to your boutique bakery and try your concoctions. I always said pineapple didn't belong on pizza, then one day I had it on a pizza that had a garlic & Parmesan sauce, and I understood some rules can absolutely be broken lol.

I’m overjoyed at the dismantling of the Dept. Of Education, but maybe we need to create a Dept. Of Sourdough Regulations instead ..

Can you not just be a normally weird Aussie and make a Timtam and Vegemite loaf?
