Waiting on the #brioche dough. I know from experience that it's a lot slower than a regular rise. When first making it years ago, it was a bit hard on the nerves, worrying that all the fancy ingredients were lost to a failed batch.

In reality it's just that the comparatively high levels of fat and protein in the dough really slow down the yeast.

As a constant sourdough-maker, waiting on yeast is nothing new. I'm nothing if not patient with my bread dough!

Ich hab mich nie an Patent herangetraut - bis ich auf das "in einem Durchgang"-Stricken gestoßen bin. Für Leute mit Double Knitting-Erfahrung schnell eingängig, andere müssen sich wohl erst mal an das "Dirigieren" der beiden Fäden gewöhnen. Das ist Handgymnastik ungefähr auf dem Level von hinteren Reliefmaschen beim Häkeln. Nach etwas Eingewöhnung strickt sich das automatisch.
Ach ja: das wird eine Mütze :)

I'm working my way through all the recipes in Richard Bertinet's BBC Maestro course. I'm baking the rye bread tomorrow but I just finished watching his how-to-bake-brioche video.
It looks like a fun recipe but I'll give it a miss. Look at these ingredients:

12 large eggs
1kg strong white bread flour
30g fresh yeast
100g caster sugar
20g fine sea salt
400g unsalted cold butter

Way too rich to my taste; a small loaf would still have 3 eggs, 25gr sugar and 100gr butter!
