      This is correct. It was established in California in the year 1895, with employees primarily consisting of Danish immigrants to America at the time.

    The other reason the bread wasn't as springy other than the high heat is that you need to let the bead cool to room temp for about along as it was baking.
    I like fresh, warm bread as much as the next guy, but the reason for making multiple breads is so you can eat one warm while the others cool so they can form their texture and flavor more.
    I was taught it's because of the steam, it makes the bread wet.

    I prefer my butter salted. One can skip any salt a recipe needs, or at least cut it in half. A slice of butter on warm, fresh toasted crumpets with a drizzle of honey over it is a nice treat. Probably even better with home-made crumpets, but I get store-bought.

    • @AJCham

      I think Alvin does too. Even when he said it was unsalted in the VO, for the lamination, he was still using the same orange-labelled salted sticks he'd used in the dough.

  • @Allucyna
    @Allucyna 3 місяці тому +1

    French funfacter here! i have 3 funfacts for ya today about what we saw in the video:
    - first, salted butter is very well known in France and kind of a speciality. Why? Cause its made mostly in Brittany (Bretagne), other part of France doesnt use it and dont produce it anymore cause one day, a king decided to tax salt. Everyone was using it to salt butter, and they stopped, but people in Brittany didnt want to and started a riot. They got exempted from the tax and they could continue to produce it with salt. Now, its very famous that only that part of France is using it. Same thing happened with driving tax and Brittany (Bretagne) is the only place you dont pay those taxes when you drive a long or short distance in France in highways.
    - Then, to talk about Bretagne again, Kouign-amann you did in the videos with left overs was created in Bretagne with left overs too! We are not sure how or why, but its maybe because flour was pretty rare and expesive, but not butter and sugar. Someone tried to so a puff pastry with a different ratio than usual and ended up with this and like it. Its usually make with left overs!

The creamery produces its butter in small batches and slow churned for a luxurious texture and delicious flavor, using milk from family farms in California
