I think it's probably going to be OK without additional cocoa butter. Likely do a small test first.

Hmmm - thought it had more droplets but apparently not.

Send a picture of the front of the bag and we will be able to tell you if it's the right formulation.

811 should be fine as long as it's the standard formulation.

I'd say 20 minutes or so.

Learning curve starts on baking bread today - Bottom didn't brown. Top did! Binned it. Fortunately the second loaf got baked in the CSO

New toy added to my collection - it's a turning peel. Turns out the fellow who makes all sorts of things with stainless for BBQ's and pizza ovens lives and works about 15 miles from me. So I ran up there when I got a couple of hours free last week and had a look at his various peels. This one was mine the minute I picked it up. Balanced, perfectly finished. So much easier turning with it -

I would agree. Eggs can be replaced with a variety of other things but ground flax is the one I've read most about.

I believe that soda bread might’ve been the Reason I needed to buy the culture

It would appear that you are going to have to do the experiments and report back. I very much like the breads I make with tangzhong - not sure if that is responsible for the tenderness or more for the shelf life though. Have you considered just under-baking a little and see what texture that gives you?

For sure - but in baking I can’t taste the difference - I’m using it for the tenderness and such.

I actually have buttermilk culture so for the few things that demand only that - I’ll make it. But requires lead time and I tend to be a bit impulsive when I cook/bake.

I actually use them interchangeably in a lot of recipes.

Love that line ‘SV’d in amniotic fluid’

Worth a try!

How about online sources in the US that might be less expensive?

I'm thinking that the Bamix isn't really the best tool to aerate cream cheese. Great in liquids - but perhaps not so great for things that are starting out solid.

Indeed I do!

Definitely not vegan!

The Kodi have an integrated burner - they only use gas. It looks a little like a BBQ burner. The Pro has something that plugs in the back and looks like a jet engine. Its not convertible.

Not that one - and it very clearly states propane only for the burner on mine.

Eel skin slitter?

Works as a letter opener - I use something similar to cut the paper roll on the Selmi. This one might be used to slit open the top of food pouches? K
