One of our own found this video from MG Bakes and it's exactly the kind of visual walkthrough that makes the lamination technique click. She splits her sourdough in half, works cacao powder and honey into one portion, and shows the shaping start to finish.
Her base is a high hydration lean sourdough, which is a different dough than the enriched versions we're working with this weekend. But the layering and rolling technique is the same. Watch how she handles the stack, how she manages the tension during the roll, and what the log looks like before it goes in the pan. That's the part that's hard to describe in words and easy to understand when you see it.
Then grab your recipe from the pantry and come back Saturday ready to bake.
See you in the thread at 8:00 AM ET.
