I learned this the hard way. Had some garlic bulbs laying around and was gonna make my loaf of regular white (1.5 lb loaf) when I decided to be "inspired" and try to make "garlic bread" by roasting a bulb in evoo and a little salt in a foil bulb in the air fryer until squeezable soft. Added this at the beginning and set it to do its thing. Well came back 10 minutes after the first mix started (about 20 mins into the cycle) to check if it needed water, flour etc.

Turns out I made something between school glue and chewing gum. Good thing I caught it before baking because I have no clue what would've happened (as it was an UNBELIEVABLY sticky nightmare just to scrape out with a rubber spatula)

Looked it up and apparently the garlic interferes with the gluten development and if you're going to use something other than powdered, you should add it during the absolute last mix to avoid this.

Just thought I'd throw that out there in case "inspiration" strikes anyone the same way it did me...🙄🫣
