Folding is a cool technique used in baking that helps make different kinds of bread even better by mixing in air and gluten. This process gives the bread a really nice texture.

Why Folding is Great:

• Makes Dough Stronger: Folding helps the dough hold its shape, giving your bread a chewy but soft feel.
• Adds Air: This technique brings in air, making the inside of the bread light and fluffy.

Types of Bread That Use Folding:

1. Baguettes: Simple folds during shaping create a nice crust and a light inside.
2. Ciabatta: This type of bread comes out great with folding, making it chewy with an open crumb.
3. Focaccia: Folding several times adds layers that can hold olive oil and toppings really well.

Just remember, the more you fold, the more interesting your bread will become!
