@dumpedling: Bánh Mì Research: Attempt #2 🥖 Comment “RECIPE” and I’ll DM you the link to my test recipe! . A proper Vietnamese bánh mì baguette is light, airy, with a crust so thin it shatters like an eggshell. After months of searching London and coming up short, I decided to take matters into my own hands. . The two secret ingredients that make it different: 1️⃣ Bread improver: boosts gas retention so the dough can quadruple in size
2️⃣ Vitamin C: ascorbic acid strengthens the gluten so the walls stretch paper-thin without collapsing . Verdict: 6/10. Flavour’s there, shaping’s not. Follow along while I take this to a 10. .
