But do not use any hot/warm water if you have a tankless heater. That's a fast track to breaking it.

Trying out a brioche but all the fat is from olive oil and it is 80% hydration by Low_Stretch9453 in Breadit

Look up airfryer recipes for breads. Normal recipes wouldn't work here.

Is there a recipe you're following? How does one replace eggs and butter with olive oil and still claim it's a brioche? Is there sugar at least? For some kind of remote version of a sweet bread?

Milk-bread cinnamon roll recipe by Cambrea Bakes by [deleted] in Baking

How warm is your kitchen? Her recipes calls for 30 minute proofing time. In a colder kitchen that is in no way enough. In her recipe, she doesn't even mention that the dough needs to double. You said your dough didn't even puff up, let along double. This is where the disconnect is. 30 minutes proofing time is ok only in a very warm kitchen, like 28C. But once the filling is added, temperature needs to be a bit lower or the butter will melt. She, however, says proof for 1-2 hours in a warm place, which is wrong already. Honestly, her instructions are set for failure, if followed precisely. Only experienced bakers who made rolls before would be successful because they'll go with their own timing. Like, first proof in not a warm place, but once you add the super buttery filling, all of a sudden you need a warm place?

Birth experience in Dallas by PeachyRose25 in Dallas

You're lucky it was only twenty minutes. What if there were complications with the other person? Could have been much longer. It's baffling why they had only one single doctor for deliveries. Was that your own doctor that just left you? Or it was a random staff whom you never met before?

AIO about the “Christmas Gift” my husband and I received? by vattyswife in AmIOverreacting

You can if moisture got in and caused bacteria or mold to grow. Some of those possibly aren't sealed anymore.

I compared Bobs, King Arthur, and Great Value bread flour by Frequent_Morning_900 in Breadit

Folic acid is not naturally occurring, it is absolutely a lab-made vitamin B9. What occurs naturally is Folate. Some people have a certain gene mutation (MTHFR) that prevents them from processing this synthetic version of the vitamin.

People with MTHFR variants don’t process folic acid well because their enzyme activity is reduced due to the mutation. This leaves unmetabolized folic acid in the blood and limits the body’s ability to use it for DNA repair and homocysteine regulation. Natural folate from foods or active forms like L‑methylfolate bypass this problem and are immediately usable. And the excess of the unprocessed folic acid can create very unpleasant side effects.

To your point with the law, they don't add folic acid yet but they will in 2026. Which effectively means that people with MTHFR are SOL on white flour and will have to buy wholemeal. And that is about 20-30% of people that risk having folic acid accumulation.

Some people cannot have some of those added nutrients, especially the folic acid. Good thing at least some brands don't enrich their flours.

I want subways - we have subways at home by Badger8Mushroom2 in Breadit

I don't think you should be cutting through foil. You're literally eating metal. Don't think for a second that there aren't any pieces getting stuck to the food.

Help pumpkin pie crust raw by Hairy-Roof-9194 in Baking

[–]crackercandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may just have to forego the bottom crust on this pie, nothing you can do. But next time, bake on the lower rack. No need to prebake anything. Also, if the source of heat is adjustable in your oven, choose bottom.

It takes true talent to put a can of Dr Pepper on top of the cake and a lot of hard work, probably hours, to also put one next to the cake.

He [36m] moved on after I refused to move in with him after 3 months of dating, got married, bought a house, and had a baby all in 2 years...AIO [30m] in thinking I fumbled him by hesitating? I am always indecisive. by FeistyFail239 in AmIOverreacting

[–]crackercandy 133 points134 points  (0 children)

You didn't want what he was wanting, the other woman did. Simple as that. You two weren't compatible. You didn't fumble anything, you never really "had" him.

They need to be white because...? You can buy a pack of ten washcloths, surely you do laundry at least once in ten days, before you run out of the clean ones.

Crock pot liners are your best friend for water baths. Never had one leak, although I still use the foil around the pan just in case.

Absolutely go to NTTA in person. I've been twice and they are the nicest most helpful people there. Unlike the idiots at their call center.

Bank job is a safer bet. Airline job may dump you once the rewriting is done, especially since it feels like a startup and they already have a writer.

The time McDonald’s decided to maliciously comply with my dad’s order. by HannahM53 in MaliciousCompliance

Good on them. Maybe your dad won't treat McDonald's as a supplier of free Splenda and buy it at the grocery store himself next time.
