If the change is distinguishable AND is worse, resolves NO
If the change is distinguishable AND is better, resolves YES
If the change is not distinguishable AND does not greatly (25%?ish) reduce time or inputs, resolves NO
If the change is not distinguishable AND does greatly (25%?ish) reduce time or inputs, resolves YES
If I determine the change is too difficult (I have my own mill but sifting by hand could be maybe too tedious?, stuff like grow my own wheat), I am liable to resolve that option N/A
If I determine the change departs too far from the categories "bread" or "loaf of bread" (such as suggesting I make a bread bowl with split pea soupπ or a BLT π or cinnamon rolls π), resolves N/A
I will judge all changes on the criteria:
Crust, Crumb, Moisture, Taste
blinding or double blinding as needed, including tests to verify that the changes are distinguishable and not subject to order effects.
I may have others, as available, provide their input on these at a rate of 50% or less of my ratings for a weighted avg.
I will extend the overall market until some period x where noone's interested and I've iterated through the suggestions.

I never really disliked AI until this bot. It's worse than bad autocorrect.

Use King Arthur Bread Flour instead of All-Purpose
Thought this was a good bet. Some of the taste testers said this was "saltier" but "denser" and the crumb wasn't as good.
Resolved
NO
Place small ice cubes between parchment and pot instead of water
Scratching my head on this one, maybe it was just a fluke of variation in the conditions/control but the shape, rise, moisture, and crumb were all better. Weighed the icecubes beforehand to make sure the water was equivalent. Tasted equivalent. Interested in retesting to see if this still holds.
Resolved
YES
Use tap water instead of fancy RO water
Taste testers could not distinguish it reliably from control. Congrats to @bens and his intuition that the tap water doesn't suck so bad where I live to make a difference. If this was the tap water in Austin this probably would have failed!

Cleaned up some of the meaningless markets

@No_uh nailed it. Austin tap water was π± but the stuff here was indistinguishable for us, in the bread. What can I say π I lost M on that, the ice cubes, or both π
@BorisBartlog @hruss I will be starting up again soon, as I expressed in the prior message in these comments I have been doing 80-100 hr weeks for months for a training program for work away from home.
I am FINALLY done and excited to bake bread again.
@traders We've been ripped off by this market for too long. Nothing has resolved yes and everything that would actually improve the bread is resolving no. So now I am introducing Improve my Chili, where nothing is too nonsensical to be resolved. Join the revolution!!
@realDonaldTrump I encourage you to make alternatives and I appreciate that it sucks to have to wait on me to resolve the markets by baking the bread and taste-testing.
Joke markets like "Force feed the POTUS" or "Quadruple Salt" only serve to waste my time to N/A or increase the likelihood I am incarcerated if taken seriously.
@MarySmith hey could you remove one of the tags so I can add this to a Manifold Cuisine tag along with the infamous soup, cake, and blood dish markets?
Hey @Robincvgr would you be willing to spare some extra blood? I have no clue what bloodbread would taste like but it sounds like the cuisine of a hypothetical demon civilisation, and red food colouring could make it look more the part too if blood would otherwise dry out to a boring unappetising brownish colour
@hruss yes I have every intent on doing so, I've been doing a thing for work for 80-100 hrs a week...
@hrusshruss ? I gave it the same treatment as many of the other options that were, well, in my appraisal joke markets meant to waste my time/effort and did not even have the potential of improving the bread.
Would this get N/A'd?
St. Petersburg / Zeno's Recipe - After you've cooked the bread for its initial 30 minute segment and prepared it for its next baking segment, perform these instructions: Flip a coin. On heads, bake for half the amount of baking time as the last baking segment. If tails, stop baking. Repeat these instructions until you get a single tails.
There is an infinitessimally unlikely universe where I would curse you to an eternity of baking.
@AnT I would imagine there's some amount of time needed to get the bread out of the oven for the next coin flip, then putting it back in.
