Hi Jack, I never leave comments but this I think is important. I'm a 71 year young, retired RN, from California. At the start of the pandemic I saw massive hoarding, flour, yeast, topped the list. I NEVER BAKED BREAD, I knew a little about "fermented" yeast. I turned to KZbin and found your channel. You were and are a delight. I make beautiful sourdough bread because of your channel and charm. If you're allowed to replay those earlier shows new viewers would find them helpful. Best wishes from a forever fan. ❤

[@mazza_razzza]

Hello from Australia ! The old episodes are still here on KZbin. If you click on "Bake with Jack" under the video, you go straight to Jack's Home Page. There you will find all his older videos. Just click on "videos" and they will all be there.

You taught me more about baking than I'd ever known in my 65 years. You made it fun, relatable, and relaxing. You instilled courage to fail, if necessary, in order to learn. I kept coming back, and you became my favorite baker. I will continue to watch the shorts while wishing you all you deserve and more. Sounds like adventure is straight ahead. Best wishes, Jack!

[@lauraschwartz4019]

Jack, I always wanted to make sourdough bread and then a friend of mine gave me a starter. I found you online during the pandemic. I love your attitude, the freedom you gave me to try it and the courage to make it happen. I couldn’t quite follow your pattern of water and it was very runny for the longest time. My bread was flat and hard but I still loved it. I kept making it that way until I went out on my own and just made bread like I used to make yeast bread. I realize the texture is what counts. I now make bread once a week, and not worry about throwing away anything that I’m not going to use. Baking every day is ridiculous. We can’t eat that much bread anyway. I have become inventive and put different things in my bread that everyone loves. It’s rising well I just have a great time. Believe me Jack. You are responsible. Thank you so much for bringing sourdough into my life. It’s part of the fulfilling part that I enjoy so much. I am American and I have a hard time understanding your accent but I wish you luck in whatever you want to do. The best of everything for you Jack. You deserve it!

Please know that you are appreciated more than you could know! Take care and all the best from California 🧡

[@kb2vca]

Bake with Jack is one of the KZbin channels I switch on religiously. Your philosophy of baking , your approach to bakers who have not yet acquired the confidence they need to understand how forgiving bread making really is; your approach to folk who are unsure whether their approaches to baking bread is right or wrong, makes your videos so good. And here's the thing: psychologists discovered decades ago that when one gets paid for doing what you enjoy, most if not all the pleasure and enjoyment from that activity goes out the door. Sounds to me that ending the limited liability company may give you back the joy you got from your craft.

[@Kaige46]

Yes. HAVING to do something takes all the joy out of something you love to do.

[@mattcom2]

Jack! Do what you must! I’ve been freeloading along since near the beginning of the KZbin channel. You brought back to life my interest in baking and cured the problem I ran into with sourdough. I suggested you write a book. You wrote it. I bought it. I can’t rationalize involvement in the club…very old guy, limited income….but wish you and its members the best. There’s a wealth of material in your video back catalog, assuming you leave them up. And the cheeky chap producing everything via his phone in his home kitchen remains the golden era of the series. Hate to see you join the exodus of more and more long-time KZbin types who feel they’ve worn it out (or it’s worn them out), but it is a logical development. Evolve or die. Better that you evolve. That is you, personally, Jack. You’re a gem. Thank you.

[@weldonswoman]

I love your channel..Your personality and the way you teach is so charming. I love all of your cute sayings. The one thing that impressed me most and that I have shared the most is your "Scraping Method", SO BRILLIANT!! I share that with baking friends every chance I get. I hated "discarding"starter. Now I only have a "dirty" pot. For that I'll forever be in your debt. I will continue watching your videos and SHORTS to continuing to learn the art of Sourdough. I'm told by all recipients, even those that are already baking sourdough, mine it the best bread they've ever eaten. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge into the art of Sourdough. Best of luck to you Chap!! Bless you Jack

[@Javaman92]

Let me say that there is a lot of channels and books and other media out there on every subject under the sun. What I always liked about this channel, is you, the human part of it.

Jack! Hang in there, dude. Not only have you taught me THE PRINCIPLES of bread-baking, but I think you just taught me an important life lesson: It's OK to keep trying to do the right thing - even if you aren't sure you know what you're doing. The important thing is to TRY. (And write it down, of course.) I LOVE that! I'm going through the same thing with my business (which is why I'm watching BWJ in the middle of my business day in California!). I think you just re-adjusted my head. Thank you! You have helped me tremendously over the years. Your joy has been contagious (and hilarious) and I hope you can find more and keep spreading it in a way that makes you happy.

After countless attempts at learning to bake bread, I couldn’t get how to knead the dough with my limited muscle development. But I finally did learn to bake bread because fortunately I stumbled upon your channel. Your real time process was what did it for me and I got addicted to kneading a beautiful soft dough. Baking bread has become a passion and my family are delighted. I honestly don’t think I could have done it without you, all the other channels I watched didn’t help. So a big Thank You Jack from here in Canada and I wish you all the very best in the days ahead.

Jack, I can’t thank you enough. Because of you, I can reliably bake a beautiful and delicious boule, and at times go through 50 lb flour in a month or two, resulting in many happy friends and neighbors.

Well just so you know! You are my bookmark as the first line of bread making lessons so thank you! I’ll get it together and actually sign up and pay you for your time ! Sally from California!

Jack, you guided me through the early stages of learning to bake bread. I use your crusty bloomer recipe as my default yeasted bread recipe. We all have to make decisions and adjust in life, but I will always be grateful for your teaching me how to get through the challenges of making bread. Thank you

[@Ardacalya]

Jack, you've changed my life! The bread ive baked thanks to you and the confidence i now have handling dough and freestylijg my baking means so much to me!

[@MejaRiekwel]

Jake, i''m having a sad day now, hearing all this. You my very hansom English man are a great teach, but you are also very entertaining, so darn funny someone should snapping you up and putting on TV or for the movies. you will never please every body but man you have pleased so so many. I am very grateful for what you have taught me and all so for putting a big smile on my face. I am a Dutch lady living in Australia and my son lives in London for about 7 years. I send you all the happiness and luck in the world. Thank you your parents should be very proud of you. xxx

Thanks Jack! A few weeks back I baked baguettes for the first time - your video about pre shaping and scoring and stuff really helped! Hope things work out well for you 💜

[@RockyRacoon123]

You brought the FUN back into baking bread for this old lady! Bless you & the best off luck to you in your future endeavors!! ❤❤

I did the classes and they were fantastic. Shorts are fabulous too. You taught me how to bake and I use your book all the time! Do what feels right for you and it should all fall into place. Wishing you all the best.

Just wanna say thank you from afar for all the amazing videos over the past years! You are such a gifted and passionate teacher and human being. Hope everything will work out well for you!

Jack you are a seriously gifted teacher. You have taught us much more than how to make a loaf of bread. You have taught us to love the process and celebrate the result. You have also taught us through example how to have humility, openness, honesty, and the courage to change course when it’s necessary. I watch Your videos with my 10 year old grandson at bed time when not much else soothes him. He loves you and was concerned for you when he could feel that you weren’t happy. I’ll head to the online shop and get him the Bake with Jack dough scraper he has been asking for, he loves the sound of it on the wooden board. 😊. (Perth, Australia)

Jack, you have helped me a lot in my sourdough journey and I will always be grateful to you for my success in making delicious bread. I can’t count the good tips you have given me. Hang in there, Jack, you will find a way to reach us again. Warmest regards from Canada

I'm so proud of you doing what's right for you as a person, instead of pandering to whatever all this is. I initially found you thru a random short, and I wanted to see if you made longer videos. your 30 minute basic bread tutorial is what finally got me a loaf I could be proud of. I baked a second batch and shared it with my grandmother. She was so proud of it and said it tasted amazing. It did tho! I've since memorized that process and can now do it with much thought. I love that I can do something like that. Thank you ❤

[@doreneguida3797]

Jack, u taught me how to be a bread baker and I am so grateful! I never buy store bread any longer! Love you Jack

[@julz5532]

A small comment from Mauritius! You have taught me so much and I have loved watching your KZbin channel... we never know if we do it right or wrong (am a mum to 2 teens and wonder everyday ;) but life is made of that, changes and evolvements, and if it feels right, it probably is!! All the best and thanks for your support and your good mood! x

[@255lori]

I sure do appreciate all that I’ve learned from you and the kindness you’ve demonstrated. I’m writing to you from the USA - New Mexico to be exact. Many blessings to you and to your loved ones

[@kevinorr6880]

You are just what I needed when I thought throwing starter away was stupid. I never watch “shorts” . You are a character. Thank you!

[@michelwolf5866]

Thanks Jack for all your inspiration! I learned a lot from your channel, and gonna miss your ROLL IT! Choosing for yourself is always better then burning up. You’re making the right call. Your enthusiasm will continue as a Bake with Jack flavor in millions of breads world wide!

[@morrellirocks]

Just purchased supplies Jack, thank you!!! Still in the homemakers club❤

[@porshenn]

Thank you for everything, Jack. I bought your book, its amazing and bake bread every week, thanks to you. Good luck and thank you!

[@rosagreco1367]

Dear Jack your achievement is second to none. You have been an inspiration to me and everyone you have been spotless with uniforms and a spotless kitchen. Your steps in baking have been amazing. A lot of bakers copied and masterred your baking skills and now they prosper and that what happens Jack when you're honest. You are definitely loved. I do need baking stuff and will look out to it. Im from Australia. Thanks for your memory. Love Always ❤

[@phyllisbell8698]

Covid had brought this senior citizen back to baking bread. I found, and fell in love with, the cheerful "Bake With Jack" channel and the hands on demonstrations, hints, and helpful tips. Then came the shorts. 😮 😢 however, I remain subscribed, and patiently hoping. ❤❤❤

[@alexandria6831]

Hi Jack, I know we're all faceless and basically nameless people popping up in your video comments but I just came here to say a couple of things (and hope that you're reading these!). Just this weekend I made your Rosemary and Sea Salt Focaccia and it was amazing. I then sat with your book for the hundredth time to bookmark the next recipes I want to try. I made it a whole thing on Saturday afternoon - blanket, cup of tea etc! Whilst I was doing that it dawned on me that your book is one of the best cookbooks I own (and I've owned a lot over the years). There's nothing better than being so spoiled for choice of what to make next and being excited to try all the recipes at once. I'm so sad I even made a spreadsheet of what's on my bread-making bucket list of 2024 and every single recipe is yours. Your doughnuts are next on the agenda if you were wondering! I've had some trials making your recipes for sure, but you always manage our expectations and I go into the next one with more experience. Your candour, humour and authenticity shine through in both your book and videos. I'm a better bread maker because you've made something that seemed initially quite complicated and a bit scary very accessible. I just want you to know you've made a very positive difference to a lot of people, even if your heart wasn't fully in it. I'm looking forward to what you do next (please say another book at the very least!). I hope you find what makes you feel joyful again. The 'old' you is never far once you get back on the right track. In the meantime, best of luck with shed loads of paperwork and please pray for my waistline as I ambitiously try to complete your book this year :-D.

[@tl4214]

Jack, you are truly appreciated completely all aspects you provide for Us in this YT platform and helping us to be grateful bakers of bread! I love, and rewatch, your videos!!! Will we still be able to watch your library of fabulous videos?

[@KimSooAcu]

My kids have fresh bread weekly - thanks to you. Thank you, Jack. Hugs from NYC
