Science of Baking
I really admire his scientific approach. He’s the kind of person who explains everything with clear reasoning and the science behind it. He even did controlled experiments on dough to demonstrate how different factors can affect the outcome, proving causation. I've learned so much about steam—how it works, why it’s important, and when to use it most effectively. I absolutely love it!
