A screenshot of text reading: "Just as there are dog lovers and cat lovers, there are bread and pastry makers. These things respond so differently to even loving hands that they pull at opposite temperaments entirely. Doggy bread dough exults in pummeling, contact, and warmth, and does its tricks almost unbidden, so eager to share affection. Pie dough, conversely, catlike, wants love, too, but from a coolly respectful hand and in short, sweet doses; only if you get it to its liking will it deign respond. Pie makers think bread work too easy; bread makers just hate pie dough. I'm a dog person, myself, and my only advice on pastry-making is to approach it cautiously and give it time to itself. Otherwise, please turn to a pastry person for your fine tuning."
