Critical Success Points

  • Perform the window‑pane test to ensure gluten development.
  • Cold retardation in the fridge for 3‑6 hours for flavor and easier handling.
  • Final proof at ~27°C for 2 hours to achieve proper rise.
  • Baking at 190°C for exactly 15 minutes to avoid over‑browning.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle hot oven trays with oven mitts.
  • Knife and dough cutter are sharp; cut away from your body.
  • Do not let the dough sit too long at room temperature if the environment is warm (risk of over‑fermentation).
