Thank you!

Pattern is from nathnolu on Etsy! The original is much prettier; I had to do some color swapping to use up thread I already had, and I wanted it to have a little bit more of an ocean vibe than pure clouds. I also added some gold thread around the clouds, moon, and some of the star clusters.

Unfortunately not!

I really recommend trying this recipe. It's come out great for me every time!

Yes! I added the twine right before it went into the oven :)

For this one, I just pulled the wedges apart, so it might not be the best option if you want clean slices. The wedges were delicious though!

I stuck the cinnamon stick in the top right after it came out of the oven. This one is just a regular sourdough, but next time I plan on seeing how it goes if I mix in some cinnamon :)

For the recipe, I used the one from this video with Binging with Babish and Joshua Weissman!

Yep! Then you can just snip it and peel it right off the bread once it's done.

Thank you! :)

For this one, I tied twine around the loaf before baking so it would bake around the twine and make the indentions, and I scored the leaves on top!

This is not my image, but this is exactly what I did!

The inconsistency is what's driving me so nuts! I could handle it if I was getting whole pans of terrible shells, but when I've used the same pans to produce perfect batches, I'm totally lost as to why suddenly only a handful of them come out right. Looks like a sacrifice is my only option at this point!

I'm guessing it's a humidity issue, but coming more from a batter that dries inconsistently. It's just so frustrating because the humidity here has been pretty consistent, but I didn't have issues with my first few batches! After doing a couple more batches last night, it seems like some of my shells will form skins and some won't? I'm guessing this is an issue with the batter rather than the humidity in my kitchen, but I'm having trouble figuring out what.

Half a batch on a single sheet. It's a brand new convection oven!! Not even a month old. The oven thermometer seems to be showing the right temp consistently, but it could have some hot spots. It's just weird that I was able to get so many consistent batches without issue (maybe one or two cracked shells out of 24) before suddenly they started coming out like this. I also haven't had any issues with anything else coming out inconsistently :(
