This is the crumb I was aiming for.
It’s insanely light and soft.
No kneading, 4folds, 2lamination.

I do understand it’s very important to make strong gluten network for a panettone with a taller height and extremely large air bubbles.
But when it comes to German stollen I don’t think such excessive mixing time is necessary.
Because this bread is supposed to be so dense rather than fluffy.
I always stop kneading once it comes together and become strong to some degree when making it.
What do you think about it?
I’m going to post a burger bun tutorial video. Then I want to put simple fillings inside, which doesn’t require any cooking such as BLT.
Any other suggestion?
I often make enriched dough in a large batch in weekends and use it within a few days.
I mean, after I bake some, i store the leftover dough in the fridge.Degassing twice a day.
Cuz I feel like too much gas being produced in the dough is not a good thing.
But I actually am not really sure how to store properly.
Is this degassing process necessary?
Is there other thing that I should be careful of?
I’m surprised that how frequently characters in a TV series named prison break use “get”.
“ get him here right away”
“ get them out and get them dry”
“ you know what I got my wife for our anniversary?”
“ get them down in the car”
“ I can get you to her”
I didn’t know how versatile “get”was.
Are Native speakers casual conversation actually like that?
I’m struggling to get used to them in English.
In Japanese, we say something like this.
“ I saw beautiful cat on street(we also don’t put “the” or “a”)”
So the listener never know how many cat there were. but Japanese language works totally fine with that.
If you are non-native speaker and your mother language is like Japanese , did you use to struggle to get used to it?
If you are a native English speaker and learning foreign language that doesn’t have singular or plural, are you also struggling to get used to it?
Why everyone do that? Does that make much difference? Is that just for decoration purpose?
In my country, I’ve never seen gelatin that requires blooming.
I use it by just mixing with hot water directly and mixing in the ingredients that I want to set.
Is there still any gelatin that require blooming nowadays?
If so, is this sentence redundant?
“ in a bowl combine the eggs and milk and whisk until smooth”
For example.
“ I bought a candy in a local supermarket which was so good.”
Of course I want to say the candy was good.
But does that sentence mean the supermarket was good?
Should I say, “ I bought a candy in a local supermarket, and that/it was so good.” ?
I quit tempering. I just mix all the ingredients and heat until it thickens. Only one pan needed.
I made small babka buns and the crumb is denser than expected.
I prefer soft and feathery texture over dense and chewy.
I made this with a very common brioche dough and also developed sufficient gluten.
(300 g flour, 200 g of egg, 100 g butter, 50 g of sugar, 5 g ofYeast, 5 g of salt .
Knead until the window pane is made. Ferment for 2h, shape. Final Ferment for one and a half hours. Bake at 180 Celsius until the internal temperature reaches 90 Celsius. )
But now I started thinking this bread is supposed to be dense due to a large amount of the chocolate and nuts filling just like German stollen being dense for the same reason.
Am I right? What do you think?
