Amber Mae Baking Co

Now that I’ve been baking more regularly, I’ve realized that having the right tools can make a huge difference.

One thing I’ve always struggled with? My house is always cold… exactly the way I like it. 😂 The downside is that it’s not exactly the ideal environment for proofing bread or fermenting sourdough.

That’s why I’ve been loving this bread proofing box. It creates a warm, controlled environment so my dough proofs more consistently, regardless of what the temperature is in my kitchen. It takes so much of the guesswork out of the process and helps speed things up when I’m eager to get a fresh loaf in the oven.

A few features I’ve really enjoyed:

* Adjustable temperature from 68–122°F
* Three-sided heating for more even proofing
* Large enough for multiple doughs at once
* Folds flat for easy storage when you’re done

Whether you’re making sourdough, pizza dough, yogurt, or even kombucha, having a dedicated proofing space makes baking so much more predictable.

As someone who’s baking several times a week now, I’m all about finding tools that make the process easier and help me get more consistent results.

I finally did it! I launched my newsletter and I'm so excited to share it with whoever here likes food and heartfelt stories.

It's called Amber Mae's Kitchen Counter and it's basically me pulling up a stool at my kitchen counter and talking to you like a neighbor. Every other week (or weekly if I get wild), you get a real recipe, a story from my kitchen, something I'm loving, and a little tip about why food actually brings people together (that's the social psych nerd in me).

I didn't start sharing recipes on social media just to share recipes. I started because food makes us feel things. It brings up memories. It connects people. That pasta salad your grandma made, the birthday cake that your mom made when you were a kid, the dish you make when someone you love needs a food hug — that's what I'm here for.

My first issue is live right now and it's a good one. Street corn pasta salad, my grandma's cheesecake with a Fourth of July twist, and a Fruity Pebbles situation that I genuinely cannot stop thinking about.

I did indeed cry when I wrote the story about my grandma and boy, do I miss her!

Come find me at the counter and pull up a stool👇

A grandma's secret cheesecake, the street corn pasta salad taking over every cookout, and a Fruity Pebbles mashup I can't stop thinking about.
