I love spicy foods.  Give me Habanero chilies, give me the hot Kim Chee, give me Nashville Hot Chicken. Nothing satisfies me more that chowing down tongue-scorching, sweat inducing delights.  Love it. But how about bread?  I had read somewhere in the vast wasteland of the interwebs that spice kills yeast, making spicy bread problematic. Does it really, though? The Hypothesis: Spice killing yeast is an exaggeration. I can create a hot...]]></description><link>https://www.breadgamingprotocol.com/post/spicy-jalape%C3%B1o-bread</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69a8cf5835249c8a7a8faab1</guid><pubDate>Thu, 05 Mar 2026 15:37:41 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b9dca5_94a1b98d028e4f2c9bb4cb3caf64f510~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Lex C</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[MCP - Latest Convocation Learnings, Part 1]]></title><description><![CDATA[Note: I'm assuming the reader has some familiarity with Marvel Crisis Protocol rules and terminology here (like knowing that TTC stands for Team Tactics Cards).  If not, I'm write up an MCP  primer if: I have any readers Enough of them ask. To be clear, I like Convocation as an Affiliation. No, they are not particularly competitive, but neither am I.   Yes, in general, their physical defense is a joke.  Yes, they don't hit particularly hard individually. And yes, a big part of their...]]></description><link>https://www.breadgamingprotocol.com/post/latest-convocation-learnings-part-1</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6998ef43e493abd05ea9c8e3</guid><pubDate>Sat, 28 Feb 2026 06:10:56 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b9dca5_8c9cd6d0321044c0aa2ef2e542fee8c4~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_712,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Lex C</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Game Design - The Most Cost Effective $2.50 I've Ever Spent]]></title><description><![CDATA[I'm a real 4X games buff.  Up to a certain amount of complexity, anyway. Civ (well, except 7), Endless Space, Age of Wonders, etc. all of those, I enjoy.   I don't mind a learning curve, but I just don't have the time any more for the really  heavy duty ones. Victoria, Crusader Kings, or Europa Universalis are a bridge too far, I'm on the fence about Stellaris. To feed this craving, I poke around various game sites' sales, hoping to find another hidden gem.  In the last Steam winter sale, I...]]></description><link>https://www.breadgamingprotocol.com/post/the-most-cost-effective-2-50-i-ve-ever-spent</link><guid isPermaLink="false">698e6d50a816bdca356b487c</guid><pubDate>Tue, 17 Feb 2026 00:25:36 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b9dca5_821f925dcb8c494b9d66ed7cbb88489a~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_785,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Lex C</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Red Wine, Kalamata Olive and Feta]]></title><description><![CDATA[The Final Product The Problem: Kalamata olive bread is one of my favorites, but it can be a bit pricy.  So I've been attempting to create a recipe with the same level of satisfaction as store bought. My last attempt, using 1/4 cup of red wine and 1 cup water as hydration, came out flat.  Ciabatta flat, not focaccia flat, but still hard to make a sandwich with.  I also felt that red wine didn't add enough flavor or color to the final product. And I have a lot of feta cheese lying around.
