This is part of the Baking Tips series! Every Monday I’m telling you a new tip! I’m looking for bakers with tips! Have one? Let me know!
Today’s Tip: Clean hands are a chefs best friend! Worried about germs? Don’t be!! Give those puppies a good scrub and use them to mix and feel the texture of the dough or batter you’re working with. A lot of the time, even when I’m using a mixer, I’ll touch the dough to see if the texture is right or if a little more of this or that (usually flour) should be added. Everything we did in school was by hand (or whisk, or spatula) but it was exactly for that reason- so you get to know exactly what a certain product should look and feel like.
