Dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water and let it sit until foamy. Stir in the flour and salt to form a shaggy dough, then knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Let rise in a covered bowl until doubled, punch down, shape into a loaf, and let rise again. Bake until deep golden and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

How much infrastructure would this recipe take?
These are rough annual estimates based on the grow guide's typical yields, and only cover ingredients you're growing. Anything set to buy is on your grow plan's shopping list instead. Use them for planning, then adjust for your climate, losses, preservation, and actual harvests. Toggle any crop to Hydro to plan it as a hydroponic setup instead of a soil bed.

Garden layout
What planting these beds could look like
Each square is roughly one square foot of a standard 4×8 ft bed. Planted squares are shaded; the rest is open soil in that bed. Known companion plants share the leftover space in a bed instead of each getting their own. Where a bed grows a single crop, we flag good companions to interplant (shown as dashed squares), and a small border planting of trap crops is tucked in wherever it can lure pests away from your real crops. Both are how you hold pests down without reaching for a pesticide.

🤝 Interplant onion and garlic — Two light feeders that share a bed well, with onion scent deterring leaf miners. Garlic's scent helps keep aphids and leaf miners off beet greens.
