  • Pain au Chocolat: Perfect for a brittle, flaky exterior and soft internal layers.
  • Brioche: Provides the necessary elasticity for high-butter, high-egg doughs.
  • Challah: Excellent for braided breads that require a fine crumb and strong rise.
  • Viennese Pastries: Any sweet, leavened dough where a premium, refined finish is required.
