⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ For those who joined in today, if you enjoyed the recipe, it'd be such a blessing if you'd leave a review on our recipe collection site! I'm so so thankful for you guys keeping The Crumb Table thriving! I hope it turn it's helping you thrive in your sourdough journey!

This will be our post to comment and chat on for tomorrow's bake-along!! [🟢UPDATE: I have flourrr🎉] I'm currently out of flour🤦🏻‍♀️ so unless I'm able to get some today I'll have to just watch and interact with y'all 🤣😅 Pretzels were one of the first things I tried when I started sourdough! Funny enough, the first batch I made is still the best one I've made yet - visually at least lol. They were gorgeous because I really took the time to shape them carefully! I can't wait to see your pretzels take shape!! Look over the recipe to get familiar with it before we start! 🥨👉🏼 https://crumb-table-collection.vercel.app/?recipe=af7c7a3b-d76a-4011-9cdd-bd6fdbc30c50

This months challenge is all about experimenting with hydration %! The best way to learn is do👏🏻 What hydration % are you thinking of trying?

Real question today! If you close your eyes and think of “home,” what flavor shows up first? Not the Pinterest-perfect meal or the recipe you impress people with. I’m talking about the simple, ordinary taste that instantly makes your shoulders drop😌 The soup you ate when you were sick. The bread that lived on the counter growing up. The dessert that always showed up at holidays without fail. Flavor has a funny way of holding memories, doesn’t it? One bite can take you back years. One smell can feel like a hug you didn’t know you needed. That’s part of why I love baking so much. We’re not just mixing flour and water... We’re carrying little pieces of “home” into the future. So I want to hear yours today! What flavor feels like home to you? No wrong answers, just memories. It could be a specific sourdough bread flavor or a meal! Tell me below 💬

@Colleen Vergara 🎉🎉👋🏼😊 Your Hot Honey Asiago Bread bake was a teaching moment that is worth acknowledging! You had a spark of baker's intuition ignite, but decided to follow the guidelines of the recipe anyway😆 and the poor sides of your loaf paid the price🔥😅 We're all about awakening your baker's intuition around here - because I believe everyone has it! No matter how deeply buried 🤭 📖The teaching moment: Every oven bakes differently! Electric, gas, convection, etc... and when following a recipe, you'll have to know your oven & your dough to make that oven temp decision! A few baking facts👇🏼 • Adding honey or sugar to a loaf will cause it brown faster - maybe even burn if you're not careful • Using a light colored pan? Oven Temp UP🔺️ • Using a dark colored pan? Oven Temp DOWN🔻 It's been such a pleasure chatting with you Colleen and seeing your bakes come to life! I can't wait to see Hot Honey Asiago Loaf #2 📝Side note: I'll be adding temp notes to the recipe site as I add the recipes😊
