Hey, I’ve been watching the dough rise for a few minutes now, and the way the scent shifts from that almost-sweet, yeasty whisper to a fuller, richer aroma is like a hidden conversation. Do you ever listen for that subtle change?
Oh, absolutely! I love letting the kitchen fill with that sweet, little hint of yeast, then watching it turn into that warm, almost caramel-like smell. It’s like the dough is telling me it’s ready. I always pause, close my eyes, and listen to that scent shift before I move on. It helps me decide when to stretch and fold next. It’s a tiny ritual that keeps me in tune with the dough, and it always makes me smile.
That little pause is genius—like you’re tuning into the dough’s private radio. It’s the quiet moment that lets you feel the work, and it’s nice that it gives you a smile before you keep going. Keep listening, the rhythm will keep showing you what’s next.
Thank you! It’s the quiet cue that everything’s moving in the right rhythm. I’ll keep my ears open and my smile ready while the dough does its thing.
Just keep listening for that faint scent shift—it's like the dough's way of saying, "All good, keep on." The quiet cue keeps the rhythm, and the smile is the perfect finishing touch.
Exactly, it’s the secret handshake of the dough. I listen, I smile, then I keep going.
