YO, THIS IS THE (breadmaking technique) PEP TALK I DIDN'T KNOW THAT I DESPERATELY NEEDED!!!
Even if you dgaf about breadmaking, just watch it anyway. She's DELIGHTFULLY nerdy and enthusiastic. But it's also kind of great advice for... life. And delivered so warmly and so kindly.
Okay, but actually wtf is she talking about? "Scoring" dough is the final step before baking. YouTubers always make it look so f'n easy.
Reality for a noob is disastrous. It's hard to imagine a razor blade having any trouble at all with soft dough -- until you try it for yourself! The outer skin wants to stretch rather than shear. The razor just kind snags and pulls and clumps. And then the inner dough is super sticky. Ends up looking like you tried to use a chainsaw.
This morning I took inspiration from her pep talk and FINALLY succeeded at scoring my dough! ZIP!!! CONFIDENT, fast, smooth, sliced right through like the easiest thing in the world!
Absolutely ASTONISHING difference. And this was with the exact same razor that I've been struggling with the last few weeks.
