Any Home Bakers Here?

I did sweat a bit today moving salvage from an office. I had to make a trip to the dumpster!

Sweat I would melt

It's a bit flat because my pot is too big..

100g plain flour
100g wholewheat
300g of spelt
Teaspoon and half of yeast
3 teaspoon of medium brown sugar
2 teaspoons of salt
Pumpkin seeds
Olive oil

Oh well, I could lie and say I intended it to be this way but after all it's all in the taste

It's tasty

So tasty I had to have a second slice

I got a picture of C/2017 K2 PANSTARRS, the comet that’s coming close to earth.

Very cool picture but which bright spot is the comet? The bright one near the bottom?

Bakers good morning one and all!

85 partly sunny with 86% humidity and rain expected a while.

Have a great day!

Here. This is a chart I used to find it. It is the lower center right patch of fuzz in my photo.

Good morning Home Bakers.
Suppose to be 77 here today.

Ooooo!!! Tell me how you do this!!! I have an air fryer lid for my Instant Pot, and doing baked potatoes would be a BIG hit with DH!

It’s easy but takes almost as much time as the oven. Scrub them, dry them, coat in olive oil and coarse salt, put in the air fryer at 390 (at least that’s the temp for mine - like microwaves, they vary), and cook for 40 minutes, turning halfway through. The outsides are crispy crunchy and the insides are like mashed taters they’re so tender and moist!

Thank you!! One thing about the air fryer is that it doesn't heat up the kitchen in the summer. The air coming out of the vent is just warm.

How many can you put in the fryer basket? Does the time change if they're big, say, the size of your fist?

My air fryer is an add on to my Instant Pot. The basket fits inside the inner pot, so 8" in diameter, or so. Do I just stack the taters in there, or only do what will fit on the bottom?

You don't poke a few holes in them so they don't explode?
Maybe about as long as in the big oven but presumably it will take a lot less electricity.

Whose fist? For my money a russet the size of my fist is too small for a baked potato. And no other type of potato is decent as a baker.

You should try Red Pontiac. I'm sure the 7 1/2 lb. one I grew would have been big enough for you.

Instead of having steak and potatoes, I had potato and steaks.
