Baking help needed, please - boosts appreciated
The daughter wants a red velvet roll - with no red dye - as a birthday cake. I have an old recipe for red velvet cake, but I don’t know about converting it to a rollable cake. I can’t afford the ingredients to experiment much.
All the red velvet roll recipes I can find online or in my cookbooks require red dye, and many specify that it’s necessary for texture and taste.
I need a recipe please!

#bakers of Mastodon: why is my bread so frigging dense? I've made this "rustic loaf" four times now and I just can't get it to rise like in the photo on the recipe page. I've tried letting it rise on the parchment so that I don't disturb it as much when transferring to the oven tray. I've tried letting it proof for 4 hours instead of the suggested 1-3.
This isn't sourdough. I'm using instant yeast.

It tastes fine, but it's got the density of cheap breadmaker bread.

If I have proofed my dough, and it is an hour before I need to bake it, can I put it in the refrigerator, so it doesn’t overproof? Or will that murder the little yeasty babies? 💀

Edit: Think I found my answer. Thanks to @Shivaekul!
