Save the Cooking Water for Bread or Soup Making

Pasta water is another starch-filled liquid perfect for bread-baking. If your pasta or potato water has been salted, reduce the salt in your bread recipe a bit.  Also bean water and vegetable water (kale carrots, etc from the pressure cooker!) This water drained off boiled potatoes is cloudy thanks to starch leached from the potatoes. It'll make great bread!
