Move mixing seed from troubleshooting to mix-ins
This was written way before the mix-ins sections, made sense back then but not so much anymore so moving it out. formatted text and added centering, labels etc while at it.

\section{Techniques}
|

|
||||
Adding mix-ins to the dough is just the simplest approach. Add the mix-ins
|
||||
directly when you knead the dough. After the first kneading wait for 30 minutes to see
|
||||
if the dough has enough or too much water. In the case of whole-soaked berries
|
||||
(\eg~rye or wheat) chances are that the berries will release some water and make the dough
|
||||
wetter. In this case, you will want to add a bit more flour to the dough to
|
||||
compensate for the high hydration.

incorporate inclusions (seeds) into the dough?}%
|
||||
\label{subec:incorporate-seeds}
|
||||
|
||||
You can include seeds directly at the start when mixing the dough. If you use
|
||||
whole seeds such as wheat or rye kernels, soak them in water overnight and
|
||||
then rinse them before adding them to the dough. This makes sure that they are
|
||||
not crunchy and are soft enough when eating the bread. If you forgot to soak
|
||||
them you can cook the seeds for 10~minutes in hot water. Rinse them with cold
|
||||
water before adding them to your dough.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to sweeten the dough, your best option is to add sugar during the
|
||||
shaping stage. Sugar added too early in the process typically gets fermented
|
||||
until none of it remains. Adjust your shaping technique a little bit and
|
||||
spread your sugar mixture over a flattened-out dough. You can then roll the
|
||||
dough together, incorporating layers of sugar.

Another approach is to lay the dough out flat after the bulk fermentation.
|
||||
Then using a spatula spread your ingredient over the flat dough. Continue with
|
||||
your regular shaping and/or roll up the dough. When creating a roll you can
|
||||
use a sharp knife to cut the dough, dental floss works great too. Afterward,
|
||||
place the tiny swirls in a container to let them proof and become fluffier. This is an
|
||||
excellent way to add sweet mixins as the microbes will not ferment them. When
|
||||
adding sugar to the initial dough it will be fermented and the resulting dough
|

will not taste sweet (depending on the fermentation duration). This approach
