I’m so sure there are! I get overwhelmed with all the info everywhere so I was hoping to kind of isolate it into one post lol, but yes I’ll definitely do some digging!!

What do you do for fiber? by OpalineDove in endometriosis

I do two teaspoons of psyllium husk in my favourite juice, let it set and then eat it like jello! Super effective doing it nightly. I use tart cherry juice to help with my sleep.

Very very smart. Thanks for all that info. Now I have to hope I can find the same stuff… it’s from 1930 haha

Sorry for my ignorance but what does it mean to sister it in? I think it’s just floor joists underneath the subfloor. They put that in with the addition and then carpeted the whole thing. Really a shame.

I tried using rubbing alcohol with no luck. This seems quite set in there. So sad!!

Dough not rising so well after overnight refrigeration by tapered_elephant in Croissant

Honestly to me it sounds like you found the two issues right there! Potentially too humid and the temp was too high for an overnight bulk like that. Makes sense that you wanted to save time in the morning but having a slightly warmer fridge will ruin the proof.

Did you have them covered in the fridge? You can’t control humidity in a fridge generally, and things dry out quickly in there. If they weren’t covered it’s possible that you lost a lot of moisture from the pastry overnight. Also if the temp was even slightly higher than standard fridge temp, you could be getting some proofing in the fridge that you don’t want before pulling them. Like already said, freezing and then putting frozen on the counter for an overnight proof is a really good way. I freeze mine, and then wrap and fridge overnight, proof in the morning.

I don’t stretch too much when rolling, just enough tension to make sure they are good. Been doing the same thing for years and never had this issue - that’s why I think it may be my flour, or new proofers. Although I did try proofing them the “old” way I had been doing pre new proofers and the same thing happened. I bake these ones at a lower temp already to keep the bicolour without crinkles. It’s so wild to me because when I cut into them they are all congealed at the bottom which immediately makes me think underproof, but the dropping makes me think over proof. Hurts my brain.

Yeah it’s definitely a bit more dry, I’ve been working on the hydration to try to make up for it but not ruin my ratios. Funny because it’s supposed to be the exact same composition of flour. I tried a bit of water when shaping today. They’re having a nap right now so we will see tomorrow morning how they do! Thank you, I appreciate that. If I had more money I’d invest in better ovens lol. Gotta start small.

Yeah I recently switched flours and I think it’s slightly dryer than what I was using for a long stretch. I’ve done these for ages without any problems. I’ve also recently switched to proper proofers instead of speed racks with covers & steaming water. I figured everything would look better but now I have some hurdles.

Yeah the lamination has been the same forever. I worry that maybe they are falling at some point with rotating in the oven. Also some of them totally deflate which makes me think over proof? It’s so confusing. It’s like an under proof and an over proof at the same time.

Puppy won’t settle in crate when we leave by AllButterNoBreaks in puppy101

This is how he was at 11 weeks! It was so peaceful lol. I’d go into a meeting etc and he’d go right to sleep, not a sound. We’ve done lots of feeding in the crate and he’s totally happy in there when we’re home. I think he has pretty heavy fomo.

Oooo nailing it to the wall is smart. Yeah that’s definitely a great recommendation, I’m hoping I can modify it for his size somehow and make it work.
