Koson Apple Denmark

By LouveniaBotsford

Koson Apple Denmark
Danish "kosun" is a basic skill necessary for friends who practice baking. My first baking started with "kosun", and later gradually moved towards my favorite baking path.
Koson may seem simple, but it requires strict temperature and humidity during the production process and the layering after baking. Only by meeting these requirements can you pass, otherwise you cannot be called a qualified baking enthusiast.
Today, Da Chao Shao Wen Gu made three "Kosong" models that he hasn't made for a long time. Since he hasn't made them for a long time, he feels unfamiliar, and flaws will inevitably appear. I hope that enthusiastic friends will provide guidance and order one or two on demand!
