👨‍🍳 Kitchen Hack: Stop Potatoes from Sprouting 🥔

Tired of potatoes sprouting too soon? Here’s a simple trick to keep them fresh longer:

The Hack
Store your potatoes in a cool, dark place 'with an apple' Apples naturally release ethylene gas, which blocks the hormones in potatoes that cause sprouting.

Why It Works 👀
The ethylene gas keeps potatoes dormant, preventing those pesky shoots and roots from growing. Just toss an apple or two into your potato bag or basket, and enjoy fresher potatoes for weeks!

Pro Tip: Keep your potatoes and apples separate from onions they can speed up spoilage when stored together.🍳

MASTERFUL MONDAY 🍳 🍳

The science of resting dough

Excelling the art of dough is a cornerstone of extraordinary culinary skills. A crucial yet often overlooked technique is dough resting. Allowing your dough to rest, whether for bread, pizza, or pastry, transforms its texture and flavor. During resting, gluten strands relax, ensuring a tender crumb and easy handling. For yeast-based doughs, it enhances fermentation, developing nuanced flavors and a perfect rise.

Take it up a notch: rest your dough in the refrigerator overnight. This process, known as cold fermentation, slows down yeast activity, yielding an exceptional depth of flavor and a chewy, airy structure.

For pastry doughs, resting prevents shrinkage and enhances flakiness. Always wrap dough tightly to avoid drying and allow it to reach room temperature before rolling.

Incorporate this technique to elevate your baking from ordinary to extraordinary, impressing even the most discerning palate.
