What it concludes

• Toasting nuts in the oven ensures they toast all the way through rather than just browning on the surface.
• Using milk instead of water to proof yeast provides lactose and natural sugar to feed the yeast.
• Baking buns in a metal pan provides more even baking compared to glass.
• If baking in a glass pan, reduce the oven temperature by 25 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Resting the sweet yeast dough in the refrigerator makes it much easier to handle and shape while keeping butter firm.
