CHEW ON THIS

Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavor combinations! Baking is a wonderful opportunity to get creative. Combining unexpected ingredients can lead to delicious and surprising results.

That being said, if you don’t have a proofing basket, that’s okay. Here are some things you can use instead.
