In reply to Nelya. Hi Nelya, Aww, I love that! She has a great name! for the Stand Mixer, yes, definitely use the dough hook. It needs to mix for about 5 minutes on medium speed until the dough is soft and elastic. Yes you can do the first rise in the fridge overnight. Just cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap. It actually makes the dough easier to handle and cut into those star strips the next day! Have a wonderful Christmas with your family! Xx

Hi, Karina! That is my daughter’s name also. :)) I’m hoping to make this for the holidays, I have 2 questions.
1. If using a stand mixer, I’m assuming we use the dough hook attachment?
2. Is it fine to make the dough the night before & let it rise overnight in the fridge?

My dough is in the first rise. I actually used a stand mixer to knead and I kneaded until it passed the window pane test which took about 10 minutes using both medium low and medium speed. I also noticed that you stated 1oz. if butter is equal to 1.5 tablespoons butter. Shouldn’t that be 2 tablespoons since a 4 oz. stick is 8 tablespoons? As I read through the next instructions, I see that you say to test for doubling by making sure a two finger indention does not remain. Isn’t that backwards. I have always been taught it is doubled when the indention remains. Is there an error there?
