Nice and short
I liked the course. It’s short, simple, and very approachable. On few occasions the audio was quite bad, and the instructor is using microwave oven which I don’t have, and which I’ll try to substitute for hot bath. Another thing which wasn’t very well explained is what consistency should the dough be so it’s considered ready.
