Hey, I hear you bake with patience. I know a thing or two about letting things sit. Ever think about how a good loaf and a good shot both need the right timing and steady hands?
That’s a nice comparison, isn’t it? A loaf rises when you give it the right rest, and a perfect shot needs the same calm timing. I love to think of my dough as a little patient friend, waiting for the right moment. What’s your secret for keeping steady hands?
Keep your breath even, let your hand feel the weight of the thing, and stop thinking about the past. A steady heart makes the hand steady.
That sounds like exactly the kind of calm I try to bring into the kitchen, breathing steady and focusing on the dough’s weight. Thanks for the tip, I’ll keep it in mind next time I’m shaping a loaf.
