To start off, I love following you. Your tutorials are awesome. Here’s my problem.
I just finished baking your Vegan White bread. I have no trouble making no knead crusty bread, but basic white eludes me. I followed your recipe exactly. It was fine up through the first rise. The 2nd rise was pitiful. Never got to the top of the pan and still didn’t rise in the oven . I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. It’s fresh yeast. It’s a cool day here in Western PA so with the oven going, it’s a nice cozy kitchen. Any ideas?
this indicates too long of a first rise. The second rise doesn’t have enough yeast power left, so doesn’t rise as much. It’s a balancing act to get it right. Next time, let it rise much less time
the first time, and then that second time will go much better. This is always the case. Yeast does lose its effectiveness very quickly during a rise when making large loaves, and is very apparent, because
you really want that loaf to look amazing. A lower rising bread for example, like a braided loaf doesn’t show this effect as much, as there is no visual rule to how tall or fat it should be. Bread loaf, you want
it to rise tall and proud. Try what I’m saying, you’ll see the results you want the first time. Cut that first rising time by 1/2 and watch the difference. You can get much faster replies on my Youtube channel, as
I don’t get alerts in my email for some reason that somebody has posted here, so sorry about that, and I hope you have success the next time around !
Love you chocolate mud cake recipe it is now our favorite chocolate cake. I did have trouble with the ganache I made it was so oily with all the butter it didn’t mix together smooth so when all else failed I whipped it up and turned it into a fluffy frosting for my cake it was great.
But I want a recipe for a white chocolate mud cake do you plan to do a tutorial on one or have a recipe. Or ideas how to change the chocolate one so it will work for me.
Saw your video and I followed the link to here but I cant find the printable recipe for the caramel sauce?

I Love your baking ideas, but I wanted to know where to get the cake mixer that you have with the attachment that is placed on top of the bowl. that is ingenious.

Many places sell that mixer. Google “DLX 2000” it’s made by Electrolux but goes by many different names. I go into that in more depth in some of my
recipe videos where I use that machine. It’s built like a tank.
names it goes by:
Electrolux DLX-2000 Magic Mill Assistent Stand
The Ankarsrum Original Kitchen Machine
and some other names. This machine originated in Sweden by the way. Great machine, and can use 20 cups of flour at a single time ( according to the manufacturer )

I love your recipes but I can’t for the life of me figure out how to print them. How do you print recipes from your website?
I feel silly but help!
