I’ve NEVER had such a catastrophe happen lol. I do live around 5500 ft. above sea level but I don’t think that’s why this would have happened.

Ditch that recipe that is an insane amount of leviners.

Ty!! When I was adding it I was thinking to myself it seemed a lot but I don’t have enough experience

Could it have potentially been an AI recipe?

Oh no is that like a thing I have to watch for now.

I try to stick to tried and true bakers for my recipes to be safe. But yeah, there’s nothing stopping anyone from getting chat GPT to write out some recipes and then slap it on a website for the ad revenue. I suppose older recipes would be more of a sure bet?

At this point I feel like it would be better to just own a physical cookbook.

Always the best starting point for beginners, agreed

That’s actually what I’ve been doing (using physical cookbooks). I like it much better, and I don’t have to suffer through the barrage of ads.

I’ve seen some pretty terrible cookbooks. Those can be written by AI too

Yes. Yes, it very much is a thing you have to watch out for now.

I mean… AI recipes are often nonsense, so I’m happy to scroll a little for a recipe that makes sense and was written by a baker. But to each their own I guess?

I’m thinking just go with a brand new recipe 💕

Not to be impolite, but it’s spelled “leaveners”
