I’ve done a dark rye sourdough in the loaf tin, a five seed and a plain sourdough. The scrolls and brownies are sourdough too!

I know everyone already has too many brownie recipes, but these ones with chestnut cream are absolutely sublime.

I have a 50 dollar Aldi special and it does just fine. Although the non stick basket is a bit cactus now.
I’ve heard Tefal are great and dishwasher safe

Seems like I am in the minority here - I gave away my air fryer months ago… Useless thing is basically an oven, except tiny on the inside and somehow taking up a heck of a lot of shelf space on the outside. The only thing it’s great for is reheating things.

Is the dark rye 100% rye?
And did you use starter? Hard core pure rye recipes I’ve seen don’t, and just leave to for 3 days, u til it’s bubbling a bit!
I used 150g dark rye, and 350g whole wheat to make up the 500g flours. It’s the first time I’ve tried it in the loaf tin, and it’s really tasty but a little dense. Not sure whether it’s the four balance or the tin.
And yes , I did use a starter, but the hard core method sounds interesting- might give it a go!
Yeah well they don’t do everything.
I think they are the perfect appliance for
People with little kids(think nuggets, chips etc)
Singles and ■■■■■ - small ovens great for cooking anything in small batches. An apartment chefs dream.
Cooking burgers in them is fantastic. And check out @Aceman roast.
Edit weird that double income no kids acronym is a swear filter!
I think a microwave is a waste of bench space
My microwave is on top of my washing machine.
the best roast chicken ive done is in an airfryer, replicated 5 times so it wasn’t a fluke either.
Most I’ve tried is 95% rye, 5 % white and a tiny bit of starter. In the 95% was maybe 150g?? Of overnight soaked rye berries/grains, the rest whole meal rye.
One thing I read which was good advice - once cooled and out of the tin, store in a plastic bag.for at least a day. The moisture equilibrates back into the crust - trying to cut earlier was like trying to slice a brick. You could cut it like 4-5 mm thick with a very sharp knife - cream cheese, smoked salmon, dill and a couple of capers. Was superb but a bit stressful compared to the average loaf…

That’s a bit dense for me. I like bread to have some lift in it

I hesitate to mention this in this thread, but I have today started a five-day juice cleanse. I’ve put on 6 kilos this year and I need a kick to start taking them off.
Please don’t ban me.

All good. We have to do these things sometimes! I’m going to do sugarless September. I won’t cut out all sugar, probably just actual sweets, which have been creeping into the diet over the last few months…
All the best with your diet!
Have you done this before?
Never. And the way I’m feeling right now, quite probably never again.

Does anyone have any experience with the ooni or roccbox pizza ovens, they’re quite exy but I’ve become obsessed with perfecting home made pizza, doubly so now that constantly feeding and discarding sourdough!
Dunno but at a local market(of pre lockdown fame). A stall holder sold pizzas from a Roccbox and they tasted really good.
If that helps? I would love one, but I also try not too eat too much bread and cheese for the waistline….so it wouldn’t be a helpful purchase 
Great for backyard pizza parties where space is a premium.
Lol. Doesn’t sound great.
Better off with the intermittent fasting regime IMO. Always woks, and you can eat as you please when you’re not doing the fast days.
Yep I’m on the 12-8 food window at the moment and the dim sims haven’t been growing my belly just yet.
