Boulanger — Viennoiserie & Enriched Doughs
Under-beating the dough, producing a dense rather than spongy texture. Not soaking long enough — the savarin should be saturated through. Soaking in syrup that is too cool, which slows absorption. Over-filling the moulds, causing overflow during proofing. Serving before the syrup has fully penetrated to the centre.
