Made this today. Crust was too brown. I'll try a lower temperature next time. Maybe more steam?

decreasing the temperature should help. Try 325F. Adding more steam will actually likely increase browning due to the higher amount of heat transfer. It’s counterintuitive, I know!

thanks. I definitely don't understand how it all works yet. Do you have any videos or instructions regarding steam vs sous vide vs temperature, etc? I read the instructions, but there are only a couple of pages.

What can I use to make this flour-free (grain free)?

You should be able to substitute most nut, bean, or seed flour here. A blend would likely be your best choice. I wouldn’t use coconut flour, though!

Do you recommend any adjustments if using egg whites?

Good question! We haven’t specifically tested that, but would love to hear how it worked for you!

Try slicing, frying to heat and brown and add maple syrup.
