Why this works
- Most recipes wait minutes. Dough rises over hours, on a completely different clock. The skill is walking away and trusting an unattended process instead of hovering or rushing it.
- That patience carries into any bread or dough you make later. The technique barely changes, only your comfort with waiting for it.
