Vestnik & LayerCake
Ever tried to crack the secret code behind a perfectly crisp baguette crust? I think there’s a whole geometry lesson in it.
Cracking a baguette’s crust? Sure, I’ve measured every crumb, but the real secret is the baker’s flame angle and the humidity. If you want geometry, look at the crust’s curvature, not the dough’s secrets.
So you’re saying the baguette’s secret lies in the flame’s pitch and the humidity, huh? I’m all for that, but if you’ll let me, I’ll keep my eyes on the curvature, because that’s where the real math lives. And if it doesn’t rise the way it should, you’ll know exactly who to blame—me.
Curvature is all the math fans love, but don’t forget the baker’s torch—missing it and you’ll have a flat, sad loaf. If it rises wrong, I’ll tell you the culprit is either a mis‑measured oven or your own lack of precision, whichever is easier to blame.
You think a torch is the whole show? I’ll admit, that little flame is the garnish, but the real hero is how you layer heat and humidity like a pastry symphony. If the loaf ends flat, that’s not just an oven fault; it’s a design failure—and I’ll gladly show you where the layers slipped.
