While proofing may be the most passive step in bread baking — you literally sit back and wait — it’s also one of the most crucial. Most people focus on the first rise, while the second proofing stage of knowing when to put the dough in the oven is where I see more mistakes being made.
Be willing to make mistakes and master the second proof for Happier baking!

Happy Baking,

I previously did an entire episode on King's Cake. This one offers tips from the McKinney Franchisee who is the queen of King Cake sales.
The cakes have a baby inside and are shaped like a big huge donut. For King Cakes, we frost than add the colored sugars of yellow, purple and green. The colors signify yellow/gold for power, green for justice and purple for faith.
We use a pastry style sweet dough, which is rich and dense. Not really cake like more bread like in texture.
