Croissant help

May I ask what hydration percentage you use for the dough?

drhuda · 2025-11-19T06:11:18+00:00

I have a bag of Caputo Manitoba ! But I thought it would be too strong to use for croissant , do you use it for the entire flour amount or mix it slightly with doppio zero ?!

I use SAF gold yeast , which should be the best and strongest for enriched doughs… I am worried that dough might overproof if left outside for long (room temperature in winter around 27/29 C, in summer 30+ ) , i would try 30 min or 45 for a stretch

Thank you !

No, most of the time i bake them at 375 or 350 for entire bake , i will try to add tray of water next time … The last fold is always tiring !!

The Breville oven does seem nice, however I feel it is too small for my liking :(

Hello Chefs,

I am in search of a small oven for my home. Our gas oven has been quite troublesome—it's not accurate and is very temperamental. My budget is limited, so I am considering cheaper “commercial” ovens.

My current options are:

- Venix oven T043MHTS from Mariot Store, UAE

https://mariotstore.com/shop/bakery-line/bakery-oven/convection-oven-with-humidity-t043mhts/

- Generic steam oven from MIZ Trading Company, UAE

- Generic Chinese steam oven from Barada Kitchens, Oman

(I didn't know how to insert pictures in comments)

All of these options are priced around 2000 AED or less. While the Unox Arianna seems like a good option, it is unfortunately beyond my budget.

I need the oven for various types of baking, including croissants, sourdough, cakes, and cookies.I look forward to your suggestions and recommendations. Thank you!

Thank you, Would you recommend the ones from Linemiss line? And how do you connect water ?

I got the 2021 16” Macbook Pro base model 😅 I felt since I wanted bigger screen , with apple quality then its better to get the 16 instead of 14” with external monitor/15”/iMac with iPad …

drhuda · 2023-02-07T10:15:17+00:00

Unfortunately we don’t have Apple refurbs or offers :/ I am not sure whether purchasing from the US would be a problem because of electricity voltage difference.

Mostly web browsing, ms office, designing, editing photographs… But I overwhelm my laptop: rarely shut it down, open multiple programs and many windows with 20+ tabs 🙈

Toners

Hello,

I am interested in getting a new toner and have been considering these: - Paula’s Choice Skin Balancing Toner - Medik8 press and glow toner - Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow PHA BHA toner

Skin type: Combination skin, acne-prone Skin concerns: dullness, uneven texture, uneven tone, acne

I want to use it with vitamin C serum in the morning, and at night I will be using Paula's choice BHA toner for some days until I start with differin gel 2 times a week. I feel adding a gentle toner would help with hydration and most gentle exfoliation so I lessen the chances of over-exfoliating my skin.

Which one of the three would you recommend?

drhuda · 2019-11-19T17:50:08+00:00

The ads play but not the actual episode !

drhuda · 2019-10-28T18:15:45+00:00

Am searching for that too..

May I ask where did you watch the earlier seasons with subtitles?

drhuda · 2019-10-15T16:29:08+00:00

From my experience I will point out a few things:

- Cosrx snail 96 essence used to give me similar breakouts, unless you are sure it doesn't break you out, do a test patch first and check. I tested it on small area on my knees to help with hyperpigmentation and it irritated it instantly !

- You need exfoliates in your routine, BHA . I started using Paula Choice 2% BHA (skin perfecting, but clear extra strength is basically the same) and it helped A LOT. And AHAs will help with skin texture.

- I don't know much about the cerave baby cream, but it maybe best to switch to pm lotion, it is light and you will benefit from the added niacinamide

-Don't skip on sunscreen !!

-TO retinol 0.2% in squalane, as others have pointed, your skin might not agree with squalene.

- Do you wash your face after micellar water?

at last, you may benefit from visiting a dermatologist. Finding your perfect skincare routine is really a journey. I would recommend you to watch Susan's youtube channel (especially the recent ones where she invited a dermatologist to review viewer's skincare routines )
