- ✓Use cold butter chunks (35-40°F) when shaping because they create steam pockets during baking, resulting in flakier layers and better texture contrast.ingredient35-40°F
- ✓Spray with water immediately before baking to create steam in the first 5 minutes, which delays crust formation and allows maximum oven spring.timing5 minutes
- ✓Use coarse sea salt or flaky salt at 0.5-1% of dough weight because fine salt dissolves too quickly and loses the textural contrast that defines salt bread.ingredient0.5-1% of dough weight
