Creative modification to step 1
1. Try mixing whole wheat and white flours in different pro-
portions

4. Add seeds and grains like flax, oats, sunflower seeds
5. Add dairy or vegetable juices to supplement water
6. Add shredded or chopped veggies like carrot, beetroot,
spinach
7. Add dry fruit like raisins, chopped dates, apricots, figs
8. Add whole or chopped nuts like almonds, cashew or peanuts

Creative modifications to step 2
1. Experiment with shorter and longer raise times. Different
raise times give different flavor profiles.

Creative modifications to step 3
1. Try using programming functions of your oven if available,
to pre-heat the LoafNest Casserole to minimize the waiting
time.
–
Creative modifications to step 4
1. As with options at step 1, you can try mixing up various
things into your dough just before pouring it in.
2. After pouring the dough, before closing the lid, try topping
up the loaf with seeds like sesame or sunflower seeds. Just
plain flour, semolina, wheat bran, or cornmeal also give a
nice artisan look to the loaf. Shredded cheese works great
as a topping too and so do dry herbs and spices.

Creative modifications to step 5
1. Experiment with slightly higher or lower baking tempera-
tures. Loaves that have sugar or sweet ingredients benefit
from a lower baking temperature.
