Overmixing the Dough: The Shortbread Technique

A guide for the baker who can't stop, won't stop, adding stuff

• Technique #1: Add a pinch of salt (just a pinch, not a handful)
  • But wait, what's that sound? A bag of sugar? Add that too.
  • Now it's a pinch of cinnamon, a dash of nutmeg...
• Technique #2: Mix in a whole other loaf of bread you found in the back of the pantry
  • Just in case you get bored with the original recipe
  • It's like a bread-ception in here!
