OK, I’m looking for a volunteer.
I need someone to bake this and tell me how it turns out. I’ve never seen anything like this in all my born days. I need to know.

I was surprised to see so many negative comments, because this community doesn't normally work like that. I understand personal tastes differ, but let's not call her crazy or weird. I love banana pudding, and I felt I was being insulted because I would love to try this. I'd make a couple changes- I would either make the pudding from scratch or use a banana puree, then use a LOT less wafers and chop them down more. I don't make sourdough (yet) so I've been thinking about what other yeasted bread I can try, or I'll have to wait until I get comfortable with sourdough. So Tracy or anyone else willing to try, I would love to see what you come up with and how it did or didn't work. I think I may try it with the Babka first, and if I do, I'll share it here.

The Cold Retard: Why the Refrigerator Is Your Secret Weapon. Most bakers think the fridge is just a convenience. Put the dough in, go to sleep, bake in the morning. That part is true. But what's actually happening inside that cold environment is where the real lesson lives. Your yeast slows down. Your bacteria don't. That's the whole secret. Flavor develops while fermentation pumps the brakes. Cold dough is also easier to score, holds its shape better going into a hot oven, and gives you a window of flexibility that room temperature proofing just can't match. If your bread has been tasting flat or your crumb has been dense and gummy, the cold retard might be exactly what you've been missing. Head to the Classroom and take the quiz. It's short, it's sharp, and it'll tell you whether this concept is locked in or if there's a gap worth closing. Where bakers come not to get likes, but to get better.

Cold proofing?
I'm making the cinnamon rolls again and I want to try cold proofing them this time. The instructions said to look "below" on how to cold proof, but there was no cold proofing info to be found in the recipe. Do they rise first before I put them in the fridge? Or do I put them in immediately and let them rise after coming out of the fridge?
Banneton proofer
I'm a little behind the ball, so much going on the last couple weeks, and I just double checked the recipe to see what I needed for Saturday. I don't have a Banneton and no time to order one. Can the proofing be done in a bowl or the dutch oven? I'm not familiar with the Banneton so am not sure what would be a suitable substitute. Thanks!

Thanks everyone!!! The whole family got sick, so I was in no shape to bake this weekend. Hopefully this week will be better!

@Henry Hunter You're killing me Henry!!! I want to make everything, but there just isn't that much time in my days! We have and Easter event on the 28th, so we already decided to try the bunny bread, and if time allows, I want to try the hot cross buns. I've printed so many of your recipes that I want to try, but then you keep bringing us more, so I need a whole lot more Round Tuits to get all of these done! So much bread, so little time...
