Anyone had experience of coating a loaf with wheat germ?
If so how was the result?
So I had this crazy idea of sticking wheat germ and parmesan crumb on a shaped loaf
I was thinking I've done this on baked fish why not bread right?
Well I chose my 50% einkorn loaf for the experiment...and failed miserably attempting to pick up the sticky einkorn loaf and roll it on the crumbs...the shaped loaf ended up misshaped so badly I had to reshape it and of course, half of the crumb mixture went inside the dough ?
Dough is retarding in the fridge now, still excited to see how it turns out baked tomorrow even tho I kinda failed.

it releases from the pan (do let us know) but when I want to coat a soft dough with crumbs, chopped nuts, seeds, etc. I spread out a dish towel (the flat kind) and spread a generous portion of crumbs on the towel. Then pile on the dough to form a loaf. Then by lifting the towel roll the dough back and forth to coat the loaf, finally sprinkling on the top side if needed. Use the towel to help transfer the loaf to where it should be or lower towel and all into a box or basket for proofing. Just another way to do it. :)

It's definitely a lot cleverer than my awkward approach, I'll invest on some good kitchen towels for future attempts! Many thanks!
I used a parchment with my combo cooker as always and it didn't stick at all
