I get a sweet tooth about this time of night and all I had was a couple of pairs. So, I made a quick Galette. It’s not much to look at right now, but give it 20 minutes. OK, it’s been 20 minutes

I just dropped a quick video walking you through 11 filling options for Saturday's star bread. Savory, sweet, and everything in between. The dough is the same no matter what you put inside it. Same technique. Same bake. The only thing that changes is the flavor. A few highlights: Pizza Star. Buffalo Chicken. Jalapeno Popper. Cinnamon Sugar. Nutella and Banana. And that's not even all of them. And these aren't the only options. If you've got an idea that isn't on the list, bring it. The dough doesn't care what's inside it. It just wants to be a star. Watch the video, pick your filling, and tell me below what you're making Saturday. 👉 Recipe: https://pantry.bakinggreatbread.com/recipes/henrys-savory-star-bread?variant=yeasted

Ask and you shall receive. I created a cheat sheet you can print and stick on your refrigerator, tuck into your baking notebook, or keep wherever you bake. It covers all five washes, what each one does, when to use it, and the quick decision guide so you never have to guess again. It's in the classroom under Baker's Fundamentals. Go grab it. Same dough. Different wash. Completely different crust. Now you'll always know which one to reach for.
