Random Tip
If you have a cast-iron pan (ours is a grill pan), you know that the handle can get hot as well. This may be common sense, but I thought it was genious when I first did it! I put an oven mit or a pot-holder that goes on your hand over the handle once I get it out. That way I’ll never burn my hand.
I haven’t tried KAF’s recipe. This year I made the buns from Hammelman’s book. They were great. I can’t watch the video now (though I am sure it is not NSFW) but I am excited you posted it: I have plenty to learn. I overdusted my counter and realized that SOME surface tension is necessary so then had to splash water on it. Well, lesson somewhat learned in any case.
