Loved this one. He's great! His "heh heh heh" throughout gives the video a great charm. Loved every minute.

[@candylyman6429]

Enjoy hearing from your workers showing what they have learned.

[@joemorgenstern9846]

Saying you don't have camera banter ironically was great camera banter.

[@porqme]

I like this guy's vibe. Good job, dude!

[@vikz5786]

I love that these baguettes don't look uniform. Individual character. Also, the banter's awesome, along with the laugh 😅👍

[@hermitwatcher8997]

Oh man this dude is adorable. He’s my spirit animal. His laugh is precious!

[@DaporotiYat]

I love these bakeries... Ours have people wearing masks.. Gloves.. Hair nets. Everything is just so 'controled'. Even the breads need to be a certain shape 😔. Life is too short...

[@Mike-id7dl]

Great Video, love seeing this content with the team involved!

[@cachi-7878]

Hahaha He cracks himself up. 😂

[@josegomezgil1924]

A baguette transfer board minimises hand manipulation with associated de-gassification, nothing against worm baguettes though... :-) Keep it up!!!

[@soylapopis]

Great video! Love meeting the rest of the team. Thank you Proof for allowing us to learn along side with you. And those baguettes I’m were delicious!

[@cilantro3992]

It's refreshing to see and hear bakers honing their craft. Have a good day, Mr Giggles! hehe

[@aaronsilverberg2339]

seems like the cause in difference of shape could have been from the transfer of the dough from the rack to the wood board. To me I would have it all but something to look into during the process to gain some more consistency between each bread during the bake

[@kirstenmartin2650]

I can appreciate that he wants the baguettes more uniform but the idiosyncrasies tell the purchaser that someone used their hands and love to shape them. You bake a lot of bread products but they are all baked with love and care for the people who will consume them. Sour dough is so great for your gut bacteria. Hey Jon adding information (and repeating it) periodically about the health benefits of sourdough consumption would be wonderful!! I started baking sourdough 7 years ago....I do make lovely bread and have some great 'fails' still. I have used 9 different flours!!! One was from a wheat that the seed (unmodified) goes back to the Mid-1600's from Ukraine. I bought it in Cranbrook, BC about 7 years ago when I was first starting out!! Do you sell your starter in a dried and powder form?

[@kathrynmoll86]

"You can't call yourself a 'chef' if you're not a great baker." He's got it! Enjoyed the commentary!

[@MissTayzha]

What a lovely guy. I love learning about your processes.

[@DavidFlores]

Love the micro baguette at the end 😆🔎🥖

[@AnguillaJoArt]

He is very cute, nice bread. Thanks Proof.

[@tiramisu553]

Loved this!

[@robertdewalt8711]

I find pre-shaping into cylinder, then after resting I do letter fold and shape for length I do rest for a few minutes before getting to final length. I find this method helps me get consistent shape. After final proof I use baguette board to transfer to loading board the once required number of baguette are on loading board I then score before placing in pre-steamed oven. I like 20 minutes of steam.

[@elkedrayton6057]

Awesome Video, it looks so easy but it's an Art and takes time to master. Love his Giggles.

[@Sarwiz1]

Those breads are awesome to me. I just got into baking sourdough abaout a month ago and love the experimentation myself, plus, even my failures are tasty

[@thoughtuk]

Honest description, makes the film useful and worth listening to

[@melodeev5487]

OMG best laugh EVER!!! Love this young man! He must be such a pleasure to work with. Baby baguette - YUM!

[@ritahum5092]

Loved this video, your banter was spot on. I have yet to make a decent sourdough bread (delicious but ugly) but I’m going to keep try.

[@japanadventurelife]

That oven is from the garage. I can remember that well

[@dorney]

The video I've been waiting for 👀 I think your merch link is broken, I can't seem to find that section on your site.

[@hollystarks1810]

I love how happy he is to learn and enjoy the journey ❤

[@pedrValente]

Omg his laugh sounds like goofy xD

[@thelittlethingskate9567]

I love his laugh!

[@brettsmith7245]

[@rufusmc3259]

Holy uptalk Batman 😂

[@discopantsandhaircuts1135]

Your giggle brightened my day!

[@MrSustpa]
