I don't have access to a stand mixer and was looking for a way to make it easier to develop gluten in highly enriched breads like brioche or babka dough. Is folding just not effective in these cases, or would it be possible to fold these, just would take many more folds? If I decreased the yeast so that the fermentation time was much longer, would that help, or am I just out of luck? Thank you!
