Hey! That’s such a cool mix of tech and baking. How about a “self‑rising” sourdough that lights up when the dough’s ready? You could weave a thin film of conductive flour into the dough so it changes resistance as it ferments, and your oven’s timer could buzz when the dough hits that sweet spot. Or try a chocolate‑miso loaf—mix in a little fermented miso so the yeast gets a flavor kick, and tweak the voltage to fine‑tune that caramelizing edge on the crust. If you’re feeling extra adventurous, sprinkle a dash of activated charcoal powder into a dough and let the oven’s heat sensor dim the lights when the crust turns that deep charcoal hue. Just remember to keep an eye on the crumb’s rise, or you might end up with a whole new kind of black bread!

You’re right, juggling too many variables at once could turn a nice loaf into a science experiment gone wrong. Maybe start with a small batch of a classic rye and just tweak the voltage timing first—see how the dough reacts to a subtle change in the heat ramp. Once you’ve nailed that, add one ingredient at a time. Keep the logs neat, and I’m here if you need a sanity check on the numbers. Good luck!
