I think that aside from the moment the bread comes out of the oven, this is my favourite part of the process. It is important to get mixing right as it is a critical part of baking and an aspect that I find many home bakers overlook. I teach people to mix by hand which, for domestic bakers, is very much part of experiencing the sensory nature of baking.
