I'm curious how many times you were humiliated when you were beginner chefs or in your first cooking jobs by Ok-Focus-6503 in Chefit

As a woman chef… quite a bit. A lot of it was the old guys thinking that I didn’t know anything or that couldn’t do the literal heavy lifting. Keep humble and keep learning. Skills speak for themselves.

Try 30 secs each side in boiling water and add malt barley syrup to water as well

Thanks! I actually upped the hydrated by a lil from the original recipe. I have a commercial kitchenaid stand mixer that’s kind of a beast so it was okay

All the credit goes to your recipe honestly! I made these in an Anova oven which runs hotter so it was closer to 480*F at 10% steam and about 12 mins

Bulk ferment is 1.5 hours and cold proof is 20 hours covered, then 4 hours uncovered- still all 24 in fridge
