I love people who post messages calling people names and then accuse
everyone else of being judgmental. I also wonder if "Aaron" bothered to
read much of what people have written. I do recall the word "refrigerator"
mentioned a number of times. That is, you don't have to sit there
monitoring the dough for 13 hours. You simply put it in the refrigerator
and get about your normal business. Also, the baking police aren't going to
jail you for baking the way that you want. Just because I don't like
something or recommend a particular method doesn't mean that anyone is
required to agree. I think it is best to know the basics and strive for the
ideal. Sometimes you have to compromise, but if no one ever bothers with a
discussion of the ideal, then we are all doomed to mediocrity. Ignorance may
be bliss, but it doesn't lead to good baking.
