Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.
Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.

Chef Wood answers only when you ask, so take all the time you need. His answers come from AI and are general cooking guidance.
Make a straight dough, rather firm, with one pail of ferment and six ounces of salt;
use no sugar or lard;
let the dough come up well and work over;
give it a start;
then scale and mould on the bench;
form into long loaves, in Vienna shape, split, set in cloths, prove and bake.
A very nice French split is made in some Chicago bakeries out of a Vienna mixture in which half milk is used.
