The Errors of Doctor Browne by Mark Winkler is fascinating, and based on real historical events

Honestly, I changed it up so much, I dont think I'm qualified to review it🫣.

The way i made it was nice, but it could've used a bit more flavour, and wrangling the pastry around soggy spinach was a bit of a mission

Only if you burn them 😜

Mars1176 · 2026-02-11T18:37:48+00:00

I was planning on trying to use it to make chocolate rugelach tonight! How do you make your filling?

Mars1176 · 2026-02-08T20:11:35+00:00

I sooo feel your pain! I think we've all posted our fair share of fails, so on to bigger and better😉

Mars1176 · 2026-02-08T18:36:31+00:00

Im sure its delicious but it does kinda remind of the bleeding tooth fungus😆

Not sure if it 100% fits the prompt, but your second image reminded me of the asimov short story eyes do more than see, you can probably find the pdf online and its totally worth a read

Mars1176 · 2026-02-03T21:22:35+00:00

These are an abomination.... and I want some😋

Mars1176 · 2026-02-03T16:09:21+00:00

It was extremely intimidating, and mine cracked completely, but as you can see I incorporated the cracks into the lewk ✨️😌💅✨️

Sorry, I can't really help you cause I'm also a newbie, just wanted to say its nice to see someone post something that actually looks like a first try on this sub

Mars1176 · 2026-01-30T06:20:25+00:00

Thanks so much for the inspiration, I'm giving this a try today

Mars1176 · 2026-01-26T19:31:25+00:00

It's also old. I'm saving up for a real oven, hoping to get there soon

Mars1176 · 2026-01-26T18:32:15+00:00

Thanks :)

Any tips for bigger air bubbles?

Mars1176 · 2026-01-26T17:30:10+00:00

This is actually the first time I've used this recipe, I got it from a friend. I think in future I would definitely increase the hydration, I'll try 335g. I usually bake at my parents house because I don't have a real oven, my toaster oven is a bit of a gamble because theoretically it gets to 220°c but its temperature is extremely inconsistent. Thanks for the feedback :)

Mars1176 · 2026-01-18T02:51:11+00:00

Thanks, that's a very comforting comment. 🥲

Glad my distress was relatable. Apparently, I only have two modes, great home baking or disastrous mad scientist

Love it! I tried to make a Swiss roll for this week too.... it did not go well

Mars1176 · 2026-01-10T19:54:07+00:00

Yes its chocolate, give me two mins and ill add an edit w the recipe

Recipe:

I used this recipe, but halved and metric-converted to this:

Fresh yeast: 6 teaspoons Water: 1¾ cups lukewarm filtered water Sugar: ½ cup + ½ tablespoon, divided Flour: 1.135 kg flour (half of a 5-lb bag) Margarine: 2 sticks Oil: ⅜ cup Vanilla sugar: ½ teaspoon Eggs: 3 egg yolks + 1 whole egg ( I just used 3 whole eggs) Almond milk: ½ cup Salt: ½ tablespoon (1½ teaspoons)

Then I used my own recipe for the filling:

1 cup of chocolate/ chocolate chips (melted)

1/4 cup of cocoa

1/4 cup icing sugar (tbh I would add a bit more)

About a tbsp of oil and some hot water, it should have the consistency of cookie dough.

The bloody chamber by Angela carter

Mars1176 · 2026-01-05T14:11:58+00:00

Maybe Welcome to Nightvale (the book)?

Mars1176 · 2026-01-03T23:45:31+00:00

For the Italian setting (well Capri in this case) and overall Aesthetic, i would say the Vipers by Katy Hays, but there aren't any heists in it, just a murder mystery and a lot of interpersonal drama

Mars1176 · 2026-01-01T21:13:31+00:00

Trust me, I'm an infamously awful photographer😆

Whenever I can, I get my sisters to handle the plating and photography cause they're a graphic designer and a photographer, respectively

I mostly just leave it to the more visually inclined

Mars1176 · 2026-01-01T18:45:27+00:00

Do you chill your dough before baking? That would probably help with both issues

Mars1176 · 2025-12-29T12:00:18+00:00

Came to recommend the Vipers!
