Q: Can I use a different type of flour for this recipe?
A: This recipe is best with high-gluten flour for optimal texture, but you can experiment with other types if necessary.
Q: Is there a substitute for unsalted butter?
A: Yes, you can use margarine or a butter alternative, but it may slightly alter the flavor.
Q: How do I know if the dough has doubled in size during the second fermentation?
A: It usually takes about an hour at 38°C. You can check by gently pressing the dough; if the indentation remains, it’s ready.
