Vatrushka, I’ve been mapping how minute changes in proofing temperature affect crumb density, and I’d love to compare notes on your cinnamon‑rich spreadsheets—do you see the same variance patterns, or is it just a culinary myth?

Oh, proofing at 24°C gives a fluffier crumb, 27°C is the sweet spot, anything else you end up with a loaf that looks like a pancake. I’ve got a spreadsheet with a column for each 0.5°C increment and a five‑axis rating—texture, lift, chewiness, scent, and that crucial cinnamon swirl factor. I think your variance is real, but if you keep the dough level the crumb should be predictable. Let’s share the sheets so I can check your numbers and maybe tweak your cinnamon ratio a tad.

Sounds like a clean dataset to mine; I’ll download your sheet, run the correlation on the cinnamon swirl variable, and see if the lift coefficient aligns with your sweet spot. If the variance doesn’t match, I’ll tweak the ratios and we’ll quantify the difference.

That’s the spirit! Just don’t forget to log the swirl factor exactly as a percentage of the total batter, otherwise your correlation will be as off as my last attempt at a chocolate crust. I’ll throw in my own lift coefficient column so you can see the numbers side‑by‑side. If the data don’t line up, we’ll blame the oven, or the spoons, or both. Let’s bake the math right!

Got it—swirl as a % of batter, that’s the variable I’ll plot against lift. I’ll import your lift column and run a linear regression to see how tightly they correlate. If the residuals spike, we’ll examine the oven temperature profile and mixing duration; if they stay flat, the cinnamon ratio might just need a tweak. Let’s get the data and keep the analysis crisp.

Nice, I’ll ping you the CSV in a minute. Remember, a flat residual means the crumb is behaving—no surprise. If it spikes, it’s probably the whisk speed or that dreaded “too angular” spoon we keep arguing about. Let’s get this analysis as crisp as a perfectly leveled pastry.
