lol that's my bread

It's just one of the basic preferment recipes from Flour, Water, Salt, Yeast.

I just used regular unbleached all purpose flour, then cooked in a dutch oven. Like 20-25 minutes at 475ยบ or so with the lid on, then another 10-15 minutes with the lid off.

Most of the time when people have pale looking bread it's because they didn't cook it long enough or at high enough heat. Like when you think maybe it's done, wait a bit longer... Can be hard, but it's worth it.


Also if you haven't already download FWSY somewhere and read it, it's pretty good.

adding sugar will give you darker crust
you could add malt too
but mainly, you just need to put your oven on as hot as you can and then work out how long to cook your loaf for (bake the same loaves for a few weeks, so use the same weight of dough, proved in the same shape, and then after about 15-20mins, flip the loaf over and tap the bottom and listen for the classic hollow sound, and just keeping cooking if required)

hey now. i've had my nutribullet for like 5 years and it still works like new.

i use it every day for shakes.

I got a knockoff bullet somewhere around 15 years ago and it is still serving me well.

What is the difference between an ordinary one and one of those nutri-ones? They looks the same.

IMHO the problem with the nutribullet isn't that is a bad appliance. The problem is that it's so limited. It's small size and very specific design makes it useless for anything other than single-serving shakes/smoothies. OTOH if you spent that same amount of money on a proper blender you'd have a far more useful tool that can not only make your shakes but is also useful for sauces, soups, making nut butters, marinades, crushing spices, and so on.

fuck if i know, i just got the nutribullet from target or some shit. i'm sure there's no real difference.

i have a blender too. i use it rarely for big batch things, and i don't want to fuck up an entire blender for just a smoothie. my nutribullet cup/blade are comically easy to clean.

If your blender isn't just as easy to clean as your bullet then it's a crap blender.

the blade of my blender consists of the base, blade and gasket. that's too much for me since i use my nutribullet literally every morning. takes me less than 2 minutes to assemble and blend my shake.
