The Easiest Way to Bake Round, Crusty Bread? | Happy Baking with Erin Jeanne McDowell

[@Han-xe1qz]

Happy baking is the Mr Rogers neighborhood of baking. I leave every video happier and more educated than i started. Your energy and love for your craft is infectious 💕

[@erin-jeanne-mcdowell]

Truly one of the biggest compliments you could send my way! Thank you so much ❤❤❤

[@LindseyLouWho]

The howl you made when you ejected the bread in the first few seconds sent me. I knew I was in for a ride lol.

[@erin-jeanne-mcdowell]

None of us knew the ride we were in for when we set out to make this episode 😂

[@sjenkins91812]

Pro tip: This is a necessary step to baking! 👍

[@ciegosordomudo]

You are a natural at capturing the spirit of As Seen on TV products and their infomercials 🤣🤣 I’m loving this series on your channel. I’m glad you give these products a fair chance of being successful even if they’re fussy.

[@erin-jeanne-mcdowell]

Finally, my love of infomercials has found an outlet!!!! 😂❤ thanks for watching 🫶🫶🫶

[@Zoe-wl3uw]

Yes please! More bread episodes please! Would love to learn bread shaping techniques.

[@erin-jeanne-mcdowell]

One of my favorite things to teach! ❤❤❤

[@schnder1]

I just love Erin. What a joy you are! I can't not smile the whole time watching you! Love this series. I was laughing so hard, I had tears. Thank you for the great laughs!

[@alixaugustine9599]

I don’t know when I’ve ever watched a cooking video that made me laugh so hard. It was just so silly and I loved that Erin was trying so hard to not lose it.

[@erin-jeanne-mcdowell]

@@alixaugustine9599oh, I lost it more than a few times 😅😂

[@erin-jeanne-mcdowell]

It makes me so happy that I could bring you some laughter 🥰❤️

[@jodylarson5802]

More bread episodes would be great but in all honesty whatever you do I'm here for it! Thank you for being who you are and doing what you do...spreading joy and happiness sprinkled with a little magic and laughter. YOU ARE THE BEST!!

[@kathleenprine7050]

My parents had 2 of these when I was younger. Quite a conversation piece with my father and 5 brothers especially if you put in a little bit too much dough or didn’t center the dough properly. Made for many laughs growing up on the farm.

[@lisaanderson135]

I’m sorry, but I have the most gutter addled brain. When Erin tipped out the loaf of bread… I don’t think I need to extrapolate on that😂 p.s. More bread content, please!

[@erin-jeanne-mcdowell]

You can hear my DP (Faki) say “I don’t wanna say it” over and over and it May be my favorite part of the episode 😂😂😂

[@Kitkatrey]

@@lisaanderson135 I was dying laughing the whole episode! Perfect ‘tool’ to make a raunchy bridal shower loaf!

[@hannaveldkamp3987]

Love your video and voice 😅😅😅😅😅😅 wel done

[@archaeogrrrl]

Yes more bread (yeasted doughs) please. It’s my fav thing to bake. Thank you (y’all) for all your work. You’re one of my absolute favs. (And butterscotch crinkles are my new fav cookie so thank you so much)

[@erin-jeanne-mcdowell]

I love bread baking, too! Thanks for tuning in, and SO happy you love the crinkles ❤❤❤

[@iameowyn]

Heck yes to all the bread episodes! Thanks for being you, Erin.

[@erin-jeanne-mcdowell]

❤❤❤❤

[@MarloweHeightsStudio]

These episodes are so fun! Keep them coming!

[@MaureenDrees]

What a great episode-not only were the explanations easy to follow, the retro, quirky pan was so much fun! As a child of the 70s growing up in the Midwest, I wonder if the original directions called for a waxed paper, not a parchment paper, sling. I can’t remember ever hearing of anyone using parchment paper in that era. I can’t recall the exact commercial on television, but I do remember baking bread in a cleaned-out coffee can for 4-H projects. So the idea of a cylindrical loaf of bread showed up more places in that decade.

[@stevenagy7152]

The jokes just tell themselves in this episode… That is a really neat riff on the Pullman loaf pan.

[@slugbiker]

thank you for such a well-rounded episode. p.s., it's much faster if you heat just the milk to a simmer, then add the butter, sugar, water, etc. afterwards... they will still dissolve, and will help cool the milk mixture so you don't have to wait as long for it to come down to temperature that won't kill the yeast.

[@LeslieOscarson-w5l]

Such a fun episode! They sold round bread when I was a kid - perfect for bologna sandwiches! My mom was thrilled!😄 Please - lots more bread techniques and recipes! I love baking bread and you make me feel invincible! Since Christmas, I own all of your cookbooks! Let the flour storm begin!!

[@michaelweil1071]

I think we were all relieved when that bread finally and completely evacuated. Just. Wow. 😂

[@SophiesMom55]

How very fun! Yes yes on more breads 🎉😂🎉

[@rdpj7791]

Showing the proof box is my favorite part! You make bread making look easy, thank you.

[@vivianbentley2829]

😂you just made my day, I laughed so hard when you tipped out that bread. Thank you for all your wonderful and fun filled videos. Yes, yes, yes more bread baking videos please. Thank you again!!

[@lh824]

Coring came put with a small series of what they called "Creative Glass" items in the early 80's. Beautiful modern covered casseroles with cork trivets, the cylinder bread baker, and an exquisitely designed tea pot that won design awards. The small series was durable, functional, and beautiful even in today's standards. Thanks for the demo, Erin - it was good fun!

[@PaulaWilson-x5h]

What fun! I am more of a bread baker than any other type, so I'd love more bread episodes!

[@ralphjenkins1507]

Love this new series that you've started. Very interesting, nostalgic, and entertaining.

[@maryfarrand1799]

I needed this laugh so much! Thank you Erin for having the BEST sense of humor. The family who donated your tube bread machine will definitely be using the other one now!

[@lindagarcia8297]

Yes! Please more bread episodes!

[@susangannon5621]

Great video, thank you. Yes to more bread making. You are so brilliant and so brilliantly funny!

[@nattiedraws]

YES more as seen on tv stuff, hell yeah!

[@sharijd726]

I literally LOL'd when you dumped out the loaf. 😂 I've been baking for 35 years and I have NEVER made bread outside of a bread machine. Guess I need to try!

[@3flatacresfarm578]

Yes, more bread please! This was a very fun episode!

[@banosja]

More bread please!!! (And OMG, the way it slid out! We were all thinking it...)

[@brettonbuttered]

For Real, I have been wanting to do things like this with all my vintage kitchen equipment. I love this. Loved the intro so much,all the glorious product b roll!!Great job! Bretton

[@shirlydejarnette]

Yes to more bread tips and loaf styles! I don't know what you were talking about when you removed the bread from the pan, but I know what I was thinking!! Thank you for sharing.

[@lindagroskopf3749]

Yes please! More bread recipes.

[@erin-jeanne-mcdowell]

You got it!!! ❤❤❤

[@Henryfordrobertdole]

this was one of the most entertaining videos I've seen about bread making. informative and captivating. your personality is great for getting people enticed.

[@celestehammell4067]

Please more classic bread recipes, especially hoagies and hard rolls. Thank you so much❤

[@colibrigarden3772]

You are a joy to watch .My inspiration .I follow u from..Mexico .You make me smile .

[@erin-jeanne-mcdowell]

Thanks so much for tuning in 🫶❤️🫶

[@Rheneas]

A true joy to watch

[@katiet8909]

I would absolutely love more bread content! I stopped buying bread about five months ago and I make your white sandwich bread from Savory Baking weekly (and we your pretzel buns monthly)! Thank you for feeding my family. ❤️ Also, I bet that loaf tube felt so much relief once you removed the bread. 😂

[@jjoyous]

Yes Teacher bring on the bread baking lessons 😊🎉🫶🏾. I will be watching this again, laughed so hard my cheeks hurt. 😂😂😂😂 Happy New Year BTW 🥂🍾

[@intentionallife2090]

Erin is doubly hilarious in this video! The way she rolls out the bread from the glass tube! Ha ha! More bread recipes please!

[@TheTransVictorian]

Your “infomercial voice” is almost identical to Aidy Bryant’s on SNL, and I am absolutely here for it 😂 (I also love baking and using vintage Pyrex, so it is very cool to see how well the bake-a-round performs!)

[@lorassorkin]

You're hilarious! I remember seeing all these ads on tv, and am loving this series! The sandwich is giving me original D'Bronx on 39th Street vibes. I miss those subs! And obviously yes, more bread please!

[@fromthepharm]

More bread episodes please 😊

[@annycampbell3070]

Yes please to more bread content! Selfishly, I’d love more advanced techniques and how to use different grains😅

[@TheSchnoodlemom]

This was sooo much fun! Thank you for bringing a little happy to my day. I would love to see more bread baking with other gizmos that are on the market. I've just used a regular loaf pan, but I am intrigued by those silicone bread molds that close on the top.

[@Blue_Camera_Cat]

What a legendary algorithm pull. This is hilarious and pretty cool!

[@operaguyny]

OMG Dying!🤣🤣 This is absolutely hilarious. Bravo! The "Bake Around" voice alone... I might just make it through Monday morning.

[@dianagreene4257]

My grandmother had one of these and it was the *highlight* of every meal when we visited. I picked one up at Goodwill a couple years ago and still haven't figured out how she made hers SO GOOD. (I'm realizing watching this video that I was letting my bread thaw in the tube and maybe that's why mine is coming out weird?)

[@kiriaioulia]

and now you know what it would be like as a large animal vet! Thanks Dr. Pol for giving us that visual for life!

[@mellyza3086]

This is a great video! You crack me up! More bread episodes please! I make your clover rolls all the time! Your Sub looks amazing!

[@lindeehallpratt2602]

I was given a very old recipe for English muffin bread, an absolute favorite. The recipe calls for it to be baked in 1 pound metal coffee cans, so I make round bread all the time. Loved the video and gadget! Might have to find one!

[@francinepoirier3645]

You are so funny! Thanks for the video; I never laughed so much watching a bread baking video. Well done and more on bread baking, with yeast.

[@KnittingmommyArts]

Yes, to more bread! I love baking bread, especially sourdough. I always have a starter going in my fridge. Though I'm not a fan of all the fancy, complicated methods. But then I like a nice crumb without a lot of big holes where things can fall through. I like the easy, lazy sourdough methods I grew up with that has a nice even crumb. But whatever.

[@jaimed3890]

Oh man what a great episode…Erin you are so wonderful!

[@coleenotoole3995]

More bread please. Also I love your curls.

[@annemarie1323]

Yes, definitely more bread content please! Love your videos

[@adriana7144]

It’s fine 😂😂😂😂😂. Erin, you are awesome. This was so much fun.

[@erin-jeanne-mcdowell]

The more times a person says “it’s fine”…the higher the likelihood that it is NOT, in fact, fine 😂❤

[@lisaboban]

I had one of those!!! Got it as a wedding present more than 40 years ago. Like most Pyrex, it shattered if you drop it just right, which I did. Took up a TON of cabinet space, so I wasn't sad about breaking it. Thanks for making me laugh today!

[@juliet2513]

Never laughed and enjoyed a baking bread video so much. Thank you! Yes, more bread baking❤️

[@ronnamcdonald999]

I had one of these bake around. I do not remember ever using it and after almost 20 years I gave it to Goodwill. I am fine with baking in a bread loaf pan or a baking stone, or a Dutch oven.....

[@bradyvickers00]

Oh wow. That was a whole experience 😂. Great video!

[@stevebranch9098]

Great show, would like to see more on bread. Thanks for the laugh 😄

[@danielx555]

The first thing I noticed about this design is that you're going to be steaming the hell out of the crust when you bake it, and that's a good thing. Having the tube over it will keep so much moisture in that crust. Oh my goodness.

[@chrishartbauer1652]

I have had a couple of these since the 70s! LOVE THEM!

[@swc2019]

I bought a Bake-Around in the 80's. I never used it or baked any bread and off it went to a thrift store. Ten years later, in a different state, I saw one in a thrift store and bought it. I never used that one and rarely baked any bread, either, so off it went. Now I baked bread every other week and I really wished I'd kept one of them!

[@snickerspayne4929]

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful video. I absolutely adore every video you create and I appreciate the effort you put in this. Yes, more bread videos please? Thank you, thank you! 😊

[@DeliaLee8]

Dynamite looking sandwich! Also - "shredduce" - I'll be using that from now on 🙂

[@drhelenloney1426]

Thank you Erin! More bread, please.

[@feralhuman]

OMG, you are SO fantastic! Baking tips and humor WITH an advertising spin? TOO much! Thanks for this episode of As Seen On TV. Please, more bread videos. And, more cookie videos if ya got em. Those butterscotch cookies were amazing!

[@erin-jeanne-mcdowell]

So glad you loved this episode (and the butterscotch cookies)!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@cindyglass5827]

Hi Erin ~ Yes, I'd LOVE to see 'more' Bread Baking Videos !! Also, [if you do some of these] can you please show & / or explain ''how to get a *lighter* crust' ? I know Bakers always talk about a Med. to Dark Crust but we Prefer a light/er one but I can never seem to achieve this : ( Really Enjoy your Videos !! Much Appreciated ! Thank-you, Cindy : )

[@kalyns7198]

This was SUCH a fun video!!!

[@erin-jeanne-mcdowell]

😂🫶😂

[@Dicyroller]

I am getting one for my husband. I just can not wait to see the look on his face.

[@jvallas]

I have a bake-a-round, and I love it.

[@AshBDashSmash]

Brod & Taylor has a nice proof box that folds up for easy storage! I love mine ❤

[@craftingrubydreams]

More bread, please!!! I got Savory Baking and The Book of Pie as Christmas gifts and I’m really looking forward to baking from them. I made the Broccoli Rabe, Sausage, and Ricotta Galette for my family on Friday before I left to come home-substitutions being puff pastry instead of the rough puff because of time and broccolini instead of broccoli rabe because availability-and everyone who had it loved it. I’m looking forward to making it again, but actually doing the rough puff 😁

[@erin-jeanne-mcdowell]

So glad you love your books!!! I love that galette recipe - a delicious place to start!!! ❤❤❤

[@Katrina.for_art]

Yes, more yeasted baked good plzzzz!!! U r a delight to watch. 😊

[@dinal3167]

Erin the most wonderful!!!! your comedy breathes life into me!!! 🤣🤣🙏🏻🍇🍇🍇 Your jokes are so good, I couldn’t tell if the huge round sandwich was a joke too. Looks DELICIOUS!! Of course if would have been hilarious to see that meal shared too.🤣🙏🏻🍇

[@eileenmurphy2019]

Such a fun video. I’m old and don’t recall this TV Ad. Btw, when I am in a sub shop and ask them to pull the center and they understand what I mean I know it’s going to be great.

[@KatrinaPowers-jg1hp]

Please do an episode on baguettes!

[@BarbaraJSantaMaria]

OMG I bought a couple of these on eBay 3 years ago and i never got round to using them, so am going to use them after watching this video.

[@terrimccaskill2954]

Yes more bread please!

[@cherylfelton4030]

Love it!

[@karenstitchygirl]

This made me laugh the weepy 😂! It was reminiscent of the ad for the Shake Weight a few years ago. 🤣🤣🤣

[@clcordingley]

This was amazing! I'd definitely love some more bread videos! I still find yeasted recipes intimidating

[@esornsin]

The final sandwich!! Omg 😮😮😮

[@LouiseTichenor]

Loved this episode. You are so funny

[@anblesduke6360]

Love the look Erin. You slay

[@habanerogal1]

Your hippie look with those statement glasses is perfection Erin!

[@erin-jeanne-mcdowell]

And I look rather frighteningly like my mother 😂

[@AjArpopP52]

Yes! I would love more bread baking! I just recently purchased your book The Book on Pie and made my first ever pie for Christmas. My pie came out pretty good thanks to you. I was very nervous about making a pie but watching your pie videos I mustard up the confidence to do it. Thank you so much. I didn’t see any videos on using jarred fruit. I had jarred organic fruit and I used that but I wasn’t sure for my peach pie because it had a lot of liquid so I wasn’t sure what to do. I ended up draining the liquid and added some of it in the pie after I put the fruit in. I did a double crust and I didn’t have a soggy bottom. I watched your videos over and over again lol. Thank you. You made it very easy to follow

[@erin-jeanne-mcdowell]

That’s true! I tend to use fresh or frozen fruit over canned unless it’s been self-preserved/canned at home! But this is a great idea! ❤❤❤

[@susanmatheos6456]

Erin you are the best!! 😂

[@nbks6w8]

I actually have one of those….it’s fun for cinnamon bread. When our daughter was little…she loved these round loaves..

[@smileygirl6457]

You are truly hilarious Erin please don't ever change. 😂❤

[@erin-jeanne-mcdowell]

❤ Not planning on it! ❤

[@caroled2]

I found one of these in a second hand store. I freaking love it

[@marycarolyn1293]

This was interesting but I’ll never try it. But I would love more bread baking episodes, please.

[@cherylthompson9438]

Definitely on the bread videos!!! Do you do anything with Ancient Grains? That would be really helpful for those of us who are trying to eat healthier. Thank you!!

[@debk9984]

Um...I wanted to see you take a bite out of that beautiful round sandwich! 😂❤

[@lacylouwho]

I remember seeing commercials for the Big Top Cookie and Big Top Cupcake pans and thought they were so cool as a kid lol. Also, yes to more bread! Maybe some that are easy in a dutch oven? Ever since I got mine I've been wanting to give it a go. Love your videos!

[@peggyruggles3754]

More bread content please!!!!!!!

[@BrainStewification]

I'd love to see you compare some of the more unique material pans that often are in As Seen On TV, like those copper color cake pans, the silicone molds -- are they actually any different from more standard molds and pans? Specifically I've seen some little pie molds, and wonder if they are easier than making a hand-raised small pie, or the copper pans that say they crisp pizza or cook more evenly. I also second the more bread focused content! I feel like I make a lot less sweet desserts in my day to day, but bread is so fun and useful for basically all meals. Just seeing you seal up the loaf gave me some tips on how I will make my next baguettes!

[@lawrencebaker2318]

I have one of these! I have never used it, but will have to now!

[@seanpalmer8472]

More breadisodes!
