Connect mixing to friction
Add a direct bridge to friction factor so readers understand why identical formulas can leave the mixer at different temperatures.
Include sound and temperature
A bakery-facing note about mixer sound, dough temperature, and changing resistance would make the method more useful than a speed-and-minutes recipe.
Stop when the dough has a job
Stop when the dough has the strength and extensibility the next stage needs. Surface smoothness alone can hide overmixing or a dough that is simply warm.
The mixer is not the outcome
A useful production habit is recording what the dough did, not merely what speed the machine displayed.
What should the mixer operator listen for?
Could the page mention sound and dough temperature as shop-floor checks? A mixer setting is not the outcome; friction and dough development are.
When should mixing stop?
Is the best stopping cue a smooth surface, a stretch test, a dough temperature, or the point where the mixer begins to heat the dough too quickly?
