Fun fact: in France we call pastries "viennoiseries", and it comes from "Vienna". So the name reminds us pastries are Austrian !

Hannah's delivery is beyond delightful. She is SMART, and FUNNY as hell.
This woman needs more media recognition, she is a true entertainer!
The crunch at the end sounded so satisfying, and then the look on Hannah's face as she says, "I got a lotta starch on that one..." PRICELESS!

[jamjam]

she's officially my new favourite tasty members after Rie, Alvin, Alix, Alexis, Kiano, Andrew, Niki, Annie and Adam. Welcome to the club Hannah!

*"21st century man, we can do 10 things at once...and none of them well."*

Never thought of hearing this in a bread video.

[undersuncheese]

8:41 "Let me taste this starch stuff- it tastes exactly like it looks." I died when she said that. 😂

[Stuartette]

“Ah bien gracias” I felt that in my soul

[typhooni]

Okay that butter transition was pretty smooth. Well done editors

[hisAndwele]

"I wouldn't call it a biscuit, 'cause biscuits have flavor."
