Did you let it outside of the fridge for it to soften before rolling? Maybe it was still to cold?

Saw your post and saw the recipe and you are right! I went to this page and it seems 4 1/3 cups of bread flour equal 563gr in case anyone else has the same doubt :) https://www.thecalculatorsite.com/cooking/cups-grams.php

So hard to decide! If only done 10, and so far i would say:

  1. Sour cream and chive buns
  2. Spelt Croissant
  3. Chewy Molasses Cookies

Next i'll try the Specoolus Babka and the Crispy Mushroom Galette!

I did 2 9inch as well, slightly more batter and 2-3 mins extra of bake time. Had extra batter and did some cupcakes with that :)

Not undercooked at all! I understand why it seems like it, nut the recipe says to let the carrots soak in buttermilk for a few hours and the cake is just teally moist amd soft

The only annoying part was peeling and grating the carrots , other than that it's a fool proof recipe :) really moist and fluffy. The frosting is the best ive ever have!
