Oh man, the steam thing is a game changer. A spray bottle is way better than the ice cube tray I used to throw in the bottom of the oven. It just makes a more even crust.

That's a huge win, congrats. The light touch thing is so real. Honestly a lot of home bakers miss that the dough is still alive and moving while you work it. Seeing a pro do it fast makes you realize you're fighting it, not guiding it. My big fix was finally getting a cheap spray bottle for steam instead of tossing ice cubes in a pan.

Totally agree about the dough feeling alive. Makes me wonder if we're all overthinking the shaping step because we see it as a final step. It's not a sculpture, it's just tucking a living thing into bed for its last nap. The tension comes from the dough's own weight settling, not from how hard we pull the skin.
