Solo baker, 25 kinds of bread, a wood-fired oven | Sourdough bread making in Japan | Documentary

[@kostasvakis1485]

You are an artist my friend! It's a hard work to be a baker. I am also a baker myself and i know the effort, the devotion, the discipline and the love you have to put to everything you create. It's difficult to work when everyone else is sleeping but at the end of the day, when you see the smiling faces of your customers, you see that all the effort was worthy. Keep up the good work my friend!!!

[@ramonbril]

Hero of the people.

@Rudy Deleon But outside italy?

[@randolphpinkle4482]

He's a highly qualified craftsman, but calling him an artist is pretentious. Baking is a trade...and for good reason. Much of the work is repetitive and backbreaking. Still, a necessary and important job, and I salute him.

[@bturner2030]

Can you make a good living as a baker?

[@Im-just-Stardust]

Im starting my own little business where im growing my organic veggies and Rye, making my own bread. Im expecting a lot of sweat, effort and frustration in the coming few years.

[@luizvictorsantos250]

As a baker, this is one of the most beautiful things I have seen in this industry. Well done 👏

This isn't a baker, this is a master baker. The beauty of his breads is breathtaking - and I know what I talk about: here we love bread with a passion and produce excellent breads (Belgium). My father used to go the countryside every sunday to buy stone baked bread and it was a pure delight! Breads in the video looked alike. My heating goes by the same principle: electricity heats the stones and my house is warm 24/24. I will even take out the stones from one old heater and build a bread oven in the garden using them. It really is a great way to bake and warm a home. Wishing this master baker and his family the best success.

[@user-zlxelaZz]

“Labor is not evil” …This man is brilliant and humble. You can learn more from a simple, hard working man who loves his work, more than a greedy Banker who adds ZERO value to our society. He produces, the Banker does not. Thank you for sharing and educating.

[@knackigbrot]

When I saw how quickly and carefully he worked up the breads, I knew immediately that he had learned either in Germany or France. And I just love how he said efficiency takes the fun out of it. Because I agree with that 100%!

[@krazyleg]

Another Vincent Talleu, what a master. I’ve baked for 45 years. Owned a handful. This is what baking should be. No wasted motion or space. An Artist, a Craftsman, a Renaissance man.

[@blackfist3517]

His smile when he says all work is done made me smile too. I know that feeling and I can't but connect with it. Great work sir!

[@justinbouchard]

This is by far the best baker I have watched on youtube. This is a beautiful example of how to work with care, pride, efficiency and love. This man's work to me is the epitome of beauty.

[@_KITE]

I’ve been to this bakery and can honestly say that the quality of the bread is truly superb. I did not know that the store was famous at the time because it is fairly deep in the countryside and not really accessible via public transportation. Come to think of it though, there were so many people there for the bread. What a treat to see it again here!

[@johnboy4067]

I was a Baker for 30 years and this is the cleanest my far I have seen , and the most relaxed

[@andressartison6838]

Reiya love your work, so inspiring. The baker community here in argentina really apreciate the way you put this art on relevance. The turn to wood fire oven of obst seems to be the natural path for japanese philosopy of making bread in life. The past its the future sometimes. Thanks for this!

Thanks so much for a good comment! I am glad to hear the baker's community in Althentina knows about my activity well. I hope I will come there and take videos one day.

Hut ab vor diesem Einsatz. Es ist sehr schwer mit der fallenden Hitze vom Holzofen die richtige Reihenfolge der Teiglinge zu backen. Er hat eine sehr strukturierte Reihenfolge und sehr viel Erfahrung gezeigt. Ich bin sehr stark beeindruckt.

[@reiyawatanabe]

Vielen Dank für Ihre Aufmerksamkeit. Und ich freue mich über Ihr genaues Feedback. Was Sie gesagt haben, ist das, was ich in diesem Video vermitteln wollte. Die Tatsache, dass er einen Levain und keinen Gärbehälter verwendet, erschwert das Backen zusätzlich. Er macht es absichtlich schwierig. Zum Spaß.

[@funkeb.1512]

Sie haben Recht. Respekt vor solch einem Mann u kleiner Künstler. Ich wundere mich,daß er nicht wenigstens 1 Backhilfe hat. Jedenfalls würde nicht nur ich,sondern viele bei diesem Bäcker jeden Tag meine Brötchen u Brote kaufen,statt Fabrikware..👍👍 Bitte schonmal 2 Brote und 7 Brötchen reservieren!!!🤗 Lecker vom Bäcker!! Ebenfalls Gruß aus Germany!

[@breakshot7451]

ich dachte mir schon bevor ich die Breze sah , oder er es erwähnte, er muss mal in Deutschland gewesen sein.;))Seine Produkte sind erstklassig, Großvater, Vater und ich waren Bäckermeister. Auch mit extra Schiene für echtes Holzofenbrot. das war Vaters Hobby und wirklich nicht einfach zu händln. Ich hoffe er verliert nie den Spaß am backen. Ich habe unsere Bäckerei nach 70 Jahren geschlossen. Niemand möchte mehr um 2 Uhr aufstehen und alle kaufen lieber billig bei Lidl und Aldi. Schade, aber wenigstens schlafe ich jetzt die Nacht durcn. Grüße

Приветствую вас из России ! Залюбовалась вашим мастерством ! Мои бабушка и тётушки , тоже пекли в печке . Такие славные пироги , булки, хлеб и даже пряники были. Жар из печи не убирали , а по сторонам его разгребали . В жаровнях пекли и ещё на капустных листьях. Огромный свадебный караваи на 100 - 150 человек и всё пропекалось. Удачи вам и творческих успехов!

[@karenramcharan8983]

Omg I enjoyed this in its entirety!!!!!!!! It's like I'm actually there with you making the bread. Would have loved to see it in real life. You are so organized and skillful. I've always wanted to open a little diner with a few bakery stuff of my own. Very little like 3 tables and chairs setting for breakfast lunch and dinner. You brought out the urge in me that's been dormant for many years. Well done fantastic job!!!!! Blessings unto you and your family 🎉🙏

I loved learning about the raisin and Koji ferments! Maybe one day I will try this.

[@lorenzotodd4673]

The baker was very fluid. Amazing artist

[@vongdong10]

I'm a baker too and geez, his bread looks amazing for mostly manual work. He should really get an electric oven and a proofer to raise work efficiency but I understand wanting to do it the traditional way.

[@trijezdci4588]

A wood fired oven uses indirect heat, so called radiation heat. This is the optimal heat transfer for baking bread. Electric bakery ovens, while well isolated, use both direct and indirect heat, the former is called convection heat. Convection heat is non-optimal for bread. Furthermore, since there is no reheating during the baking process in a traditional wood fired brick oven, the heat is falling and this way the bread loses less moisture than with constant reheating to keep the temperature. Starting with high heat and then baking with slowly falling radiation heat is the by far best way to bake bread. The quality cannot be matched by any other methods. So, no, if he is aiming for quality, then he should stay with his wood fired brick oven, he should NOT get an electric oven. He knows what he is doing. He chose that oven on purpose. There are modern wood fired ovens now that work with pellets and they are computer controlled. They have burners that can burn the wood pellets so efficiently that no ash residue remains in the baking chamber avoiding the need to clean the oven inside after heating. They also suck in the pellets needed via air suction through a pipe system from a silo. This would be the way to go if one wanted to have both the convenience and the quality. Unfortunately though, such ovens are forbiddingly expensive, they start at around 120.000 EUR for the smallest units.

[@despasstscho4947]

Respect from Germany! And don´t think about: I think you are very efficient ....and if I would have the choice, I would buy my bread in your bakery 👍❤

[@ИринаМаксимова-и1ф]

Мастер с большой буквы. Очень полезный хлеб на закваске. Молодец. Слезы счастья.. И чувство юмора отличное.

[@cyrildomptail3399]

Great respect to the way you work. I'm a french man who bakes bread in a electric oven and a homemade wood oven. I'm just an amateur. I would like to find professionals like you in France. Unfortunately bakeries here are becoming more and more industrial and they bake a sad white bread.

[@trijezdci4588]

There are plenty of traditional artisan bakers in France who use wood fired brick ovens. Just type "boulangerie au feu de bois en france" into a search engine and there should be plenty of results. You can also ask the nearest chamber of trades which is called "chambre des metiers", call them up and they should be able to tell you which bakeries in your area use wood fired brick ovens.

Hallo, ich finde sehr gut was du machst, und die Einstellung die du dazu hast, compliment! Als ich kind war habe ich meine mutter einmal die woche, immer geholfen Brot zu backen mit sauerteig, natürlich alles Handarbeit ohne Maschinen, mit 21 wanderte ich von mein Land (Sizilien) nach Deutschland wo ich heute noch lebe, jetzt bin ich 52 Jahre alt, und backe einmal die Woche immer noch Brot mit sauerteig, mir macht es immer noch Spaß, Brot backen ist einfach magisch !

Amazing baker. I have watched this at least 4 + times. As a builder I would have to note the soot problem he is having is not so much a problem with his skill but a venting issue. From a previous episode I noticed when the venting was attached to the oven it was reduced 2 pipe sizes. The oven vent (gravity vent, non induced vent) size should not ever be decreased. I hope that by now this problem has been resolved. I don't mean to come off as a troll I was afraid no one else pointed this out.

To more accurately monitor the temperature in your oven, you could buy a forge thermometer as used by blacksmiths. It can read much higher temperatures and the probe can be kept in the oven while you can read the temperature on the outside. Look for K-type ceramic probes, they often can cover a range from -200c to 1300c accurately.

[@robertschrem2378]

Measuring the surface temperature is not sufficient. One would have to measure the temperature within the walls / ceiling at multiple spots to estimate whether there is sufficient energy stored within the whole system and to predict how long it will stay hot...

[@soupfork2105]

@@robertschrem2378 That's no problem. You can use multiple probes for that. Either way it's far better than the guesstimating he's doing now.
