60 seconds. Every coil fold, the inclusions going in, the shaping, and the loaf at the end. This is what we bake tomorrow, as a community. If this sounds like a community you could be a part of, come find us at Crust & Crumb Academy, the #1 bread baking community on Skool. Come bake with us. Henry ⭐🔥

Scientists say smelling this before a workout can enhance athletic performance. What are you sniffin?! @Kristi Rieke

I vet every single member who comes into 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗢𝗻 𝗦𝗸𝗼𝗼𝗹. This one looked legit. I checked her comments & activities in other communities and there was zero mention of a Shopify store anywhere, no Telegram mention, nothing. She never would have made it through the door if there had been. Then she dropped 93 comments overnight, every one bending back to her Shopify store. I woke up to 𝟵𝟯 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀 and my DMs going off because there was a spammer amongst us. It gets better. She jumped into a thread and replied as if she had collaborated with me. We have never spoken. This part, though, I absolutely love! Those DMs came from members who know me and this community so well they sniffed her out in minutes. That is the community we built together! So if you are here to spam, consider this your one and only warning: The Directory is a community, not a hunting ground. Try this and you get the boot. No second chances. She got the boot this morning. Happy Saturday. Go troll somewhere else. 𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗮 𝗥𝗲𝗱 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗿!!!

Nobody remembers a perfect snack. They remember the batch of oat bars that stared back at them. Baking with a kid isn't about the baking. Not mostly. It's about the 40 minutes where they're up on a chair next to you, in charge of something real: the smelling, the whisking, the "is it done yet," the arguing over whose monster is scariest. That's the moment. The bars are just the excuse. These Monster Apple Oat Bars are built for exactly that. They're baked, not fussy, and almost every step has a kid's name on it: 🥣 They smell the cinnamon and dump the dry stuff in 🥄 They whisk the wet ingredients while you grate the apple 🔢 They do the math when it's time to cut (3 × 4 = 12, and they'll double-check you) 👹 They give every bar a face with candy eyes, raisins, mini chocolate chips, and little apple-slice fangs No two monsters come out the same, which is the whole point. They're sweetened with applesauce and a grated apple, so it's a snack you'll feel good handing over. One small moment: pick an afternoon this week, put a kid on decorating duty, and let the faces get weird. Recipe, timing, and the kid-friendly steps 👉 https://recipepantry.app/recipes/kids-can-bake-monster-apple-oat-bars Then come back and show us your monsters. The uglier the better. 🎃 Crust & Crum Academy Heads-up: contains egg and dairy, and there's a gluten-free oat swap in the recipe notes. Henry⭐🔥

Yes, we bake bread. But we also learn together, troubleshoot together, and help people go from fighting their dough to understanding it. We teach the why, troubleshoot the misses, celebrate the wins, and help bakers get better one bake at a time. Messages like this are why I’m so proud of what this community has become. The Academy is $5 a month, less than the cost of a latte. Come bake with us: https://skoo.ly/crust-crumb-academy Henry⭐🔥
