Success hinges on respecting the long fermentation time required by wild yeast. If your kitchen is warmer than 68°F, the rise time will be shorter, but you sacrifice flavor depth. For a richer dough, you can increase the butter to 115 grams and the flour to 360 grams, but this may require an additional hour of rise time. For fall baking, substitute 1/4 teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg into the cinnamon filling. For longer storage (over 24 hours), refrigerate, but always reheat briefly to restore the soft texture.
