I think the multiple risings and kneading in between them helps develop the gluten in the flour, which is what gives the structure to bread. In any case, I enjoy kneading the dough, it's a good place to work out a little bit of pent up frustration.
Today is cream puff day! I made the pastry shells for them yesterday, and they came out well, just a tiny bit overdone. But not quite burnt, so they're usable. I think maybe the touch of honey I added to the pastry may have caused that. This afternoon, just before we take them to our gaming night, I'll get some cream whipped up and fill them.
