Best video ever! Making bread turns out to be a breeze...

[@brendanlawlor1906]

"""I've watched this video at least a dozen times, and in my humble opinion , for simple explanation, and practical talent, I must say it has to be top of the list on U Tube, and thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talent """

[@flavorsofspaininthesouthwe6759]

You are very welcome. Thanks for watching!

[@dufflebum]

This is from a bread and pizza fanatic, who built a wood-fired oven, took baking classes in France and Italy, and has made hundreds of bread recipes over the decades. Watching your video, I felt like I stumbled upon a golden coin. I've never made or seen more beautiful loaves than yours. Plus your method is much easier than, say, Ponsford's ciabatta or many of the other combine-the-poolish recipes. I made your recipe with All-Trumps flour, which at 14% protein is higher than your recommendation. The loaves turned out great, with that very-developed, gelatinized gluten that makes the irregular-holes, shiny crumb that I so enjoy. My neighbors thank you as well. This will be my go-to recipe from now on. Great job on refining the recipe, and on a wonderful video. Thanks a million!

[@flavorsofspaininthesouthwe6759]

Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video but I'm afraid the real credit belongs to Ken Forkish and his wonderful book: Flour Water Salt Yeast. Thanks for watching!

Once I found your video, it’s the ONLY recipe I make. My coworkers and the workers on our berry farm are thrilled every time I bring them a warm loaf. Thank you for teaching me !

[@julietaparra5398]

Thank you, really really thank you. It is a great recipie, I make sourdough bread and this way is very similar. I’m sure that it will be delicious 😋 Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽

Excelente video!

[@sherierodrigues1569]

My darling young man, I have commented before on your bread, but as I sit here, lunch time, Friday, 18th June, 21, eating the umpteenth loaf of bread from your wonderful self, I felt the need to let you know what a success it is in my home. I was a bad bread maker, but now, I can't fail. Thank you darling, thank you. I will forever be grateful to you. 😚🤗😍🤩 Sherie Rodrigues from Australia.

[@Wetkeazle]

Made this bread multiple times, following the video instructions. It always blew my friends out of the water. Thanks for the most treasured recipe for me.

My go-to bread recipe!! Ease of technique with delicious results! My kids are always on me to make "my bread"!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@tomsparks6099]

Ive made this bread twice since first seeing this post. Second time was even less-proofed and it still came out perfect. Those not getting it are not following the basics -- fold air in, let it relax, let it proof. Don't man-handle or punch down the last proof! I even cut the recipe in half and made one loaf. This is the best. Thank you.

[@tsurumonetally4531]

Thank you for the instructions. Now I understand what proofing is. I am planning on cutting the recipe in half as well. Only problem is I dont have a douch oven. Need to find a replacement pot with a lid.

[@judyg3817]

Absolutely perfect instructions and recipe. Followed exactly and my bread looked exactly as this video showed in all stages. I will never look for a new recipe again. So crunchy on just the outer edge. Soft and tender, full of air pockets inside. The best!!

[@flavorsofspaininthesouthwe6759]

You just made my day!! Thank you!!

[@theherd5830]

I’m. Always watching bread baking videos to find the best and somewhat easiest methods/recipes. I can’t wait to try yours! The rustic loaf looked amazing.

[@tomsparks6099]

Please don't stop/ post more of your talent! I'm sick of store bought bread and have been making more of my own. I truly appreciate this technique. My ex went back to Spain to live (I miss him) and his mother taught me many recipes when we were together. I am making this for Thanksgiving with friends.

[@jonlilley9161]

I hate to admit I'm so easy to please, but I'm thrilled that this recipe produces 2 loaves of bread for the same time commitment! And, it tastes a lot like the bread I had in Argentina! Es muy rico! Thanks for sharing.

I have watched many videos on baked rustic bread. Yours is number one. You gave clear directions without the useless talking. I went and bought the proofing bowls and a cast iron pot, and tonight I will start. Thank you. I will subscribe, too.

[@mytube92369]

I've done this bread with a flour combination and it came out really the very best! I've made lots of types of breads but this one tops them all, simple ,crunchy and delicious!

[@elizabethsousa5351]

OMG I'm saliving! When my mother baked bread I liked to eat it while warm with a drizzle of olive oil and sprinkled with brown sugar! How I miss those days....

[@marciblicher593]

This was the first bread I ever made two years ago- I make lots of different breads now but I still make this recipe- so easy and a favorite among those I serve it to. I love the music that accompanies the video as well.

[@DokterRoetker]

I got such an amazing result today using this recipe. I used half of the ingredients to make just one round, the first one from the video. And I replaced 30% of the flour with whole wheat. Thank you so much for this. It's a little bit more work than the other no knead recipies but totally worth it. And thanks for having ingredients in weight instead of cups, really helps me out

[@msmarkar]

I've been watching this video for a while and finally today I made this recipe. It came out really good. Thank you !

[@flavorsofspaininthesouthwe6759]

Thank you for watching! Glad it came out good! New videos coming soon!

[@haritadepalli959]

I have to give a five thumbs up for this recipe. Being an Indian, I can cook rice in 20 different ways - with any texture and any consistency. But, when it comes to bread, most Indians would know next to nothing. This is the second time I ever baked bread in my life, and I could not be more pleased with myself, after following these instructions exactly. What I learnt here is - bread making has too many variables and getting perfect bread is almost an art. But this recipe breaks it down into science. The time required from start to finish is about 15 hours. But, most the the time is spent in raising and proofing the dough. Your active involvement overall is less than an hour. So, if you are patient about getting the best result without spending much time, nor effort, but invest some patience, this is it. Some other salient points I learnt here: 1. There is no kneading in this recipe. But a lot of stretching and intermittent folding of the dough. 2. The rise is really a lot. So, you need really large container and Dutch oven to contain the dough. 3. A heated Dutch oven or similar large container is essential to baking. I used a old deep frying pan with good result. A Dutch oven will probably get perfection. 4. Original instructions want you to bake for 10 extra minutes without lid. In my case, at 450F, this gave slightly burnt crust. I'd say 7-8 mins should be good. 5. Using a timer or an alarm is critical to follow the instructions accurately. This will prevent over rise and under rise. 6. My dough, though followed instructions word to word, came out a bit stickier than what is shown here. Not sure if a bit of extra dry floor or oil could have helped. All in all, this is fabulous and easy. It seems to me, there are many ways to do good bread - only if you are a seasoned expert. For the rest of us, KZbin is your best friend. This recipe definitely gets a 10/10. The video format is also very nice. Most KZbin instructors blend voice with useless background score - making it difficult to follow instructions. The light Spanish guitar with no vocals is very pleasing.

[@kristinakraftmvc2270]

I have been baking this kind of bread for a long time and it was wonderful to see a demo on it. It would be helpful to have the measurements for western use however. I lived in Spain and I love to see a little nostalgia through my you tube...Thank you Buen Probecho

[@Thefreshp]

Beautiful. Thank you for sharing this.

[@HotKooks]

This is BY FAR the best bread recipe and video ever! This video taught me how to bake bread a few years ago. I will never try another recipe. For a fun twist, try adding olives and rosemary during the second fold/tuck 🤤

[@rocker76m88]

I agree with you. I tried 3 different recipes and they were ok. But this one is by far the best. No need to look elsewhere

[@bonapolone]

I made this bread for the first time today. It didn't seem possible that dough so light, bouncy and wet and bubbly could every become a loaf of bread! This is the best boule I have ever made! My go-to recipe from now on. Thank you!

[@mcdflint]

This is my go to recipe for months now and it always turns out so well. I've been "adjusting" the recipe and now bake 60/40 wholewheat loaves at 80% hydration and with 25g of salt. I still use the 1g of yeast and exactly the same method. The results are always amazing with a great depth of taste from the slow fermentation. My kitchen is normally around 18°C so I leave it for about 15 hours which really brings out the natural flavour. Thanks again for the recipe.

[@DokterRoetker]

Thanks for the tip, tried it like this, came out amazing. I did use a little less salt though (10gr), I'd rather add salted butter or cheese etc to make it more salty.

[@Snapdragons7]

When people say x% hydration, how does that translate into measurements for a recipe?

[@flavorsofspaininthesouthwe6759]

Hey, The total weight of your flour is your 100%. The percentage of water is calculated based on the total weight of your flour. So for a recipe with 500 g of flour that calls for 80% hydration the amount of water needed would be 400 ml.

Hi, I have been watching your video for two days straight. It is mesmerizing and so perfectly aligned with the beautiful music. Well Done! Unfortunately I failed miserably to follow the recipe.

This excellent video gave me the confidence to make my first loaf of GOOD rustic bread. Thanks so much🙂.Everybody love it to. Still following it 3 years later 🙂

[@mcdflint]

Thanks for the video. I've been baking all my own bread for a couple of years now and have tried just about everything, but this recipe is by far my favourite. I think bread making is so much more than just producing something to eat; it's a whole process, from the minute you actually decide that you're going to bake, through all the different stages to the final tasting. Your recipe fulfills everything I love about bread making. Thanks again.

[@flavorsofspaininthesouthwe6759]

Lately I've been tweaking the the recipe by increasing the hydration to 85% and by mixing bread flour with the regular all purpose. The resulting round rises higher and has a more open crumb with bigger holes.

[@mcdflint]

@@flavorsofspaininthesouthwe6759 Thanks for the replies. It's funny because the last time I made your bread, we only had a little AP flour so I made it with 90% bread flour and increased the hydration to about 82%. The results were very good. Yes, the loaves did have a more open crumb with beautiful big holes!

[@bonapolone]

I made two loaves again tonight, one with flour and one with water/steam and they are both perfection. Your recipe has changed my baking life! Thank you.

Fantastic Bread - and what a lovely video - I couldn't believe how little yeast the recipe asked for but it came out beautifully! I used bread flour and proved during the day - then popped it in the fridge overnight and baked the next morning. Perfect bread - super crusty and soft and chewy in the center with big holes. The dutch oven is the key!!

[@papa_squat]

I just finished making this bread this morning. It was my first time making fresh bread ever, and I came out with two perfect loaves that are absolutely bakery quality looking and delicious. Thank you so much for the great instruction. Made the water temp a little hotter for this New England winter and had to improvise some proofing containers, but they came out looking just like yours! EDIT 2023: This is still the bread I make for special occasions, I bring for dinners and potlucks, etc. Always get comments like "Where did you get this bread???" It does not stay at the peak of freshness for very long- we're talking 2-3 days at most- so it's definitely best to make when you know it will be consumed. Follow the recipe EXACTLY as the video says (modified for climate) and you'll be golden.

[@stijnnel4798]

I've already made rustic bread in a dutch oven. But the folding technique really makes it airy and very consistent(no dense spots).

[@sweetboxers7648]

Made it twice and shared my beautifully crafted artisan bread with family. Delicious! Raves reviews esp from my son whom made a sandwich with prosciutto for school lunch and he’s bragging to friends “yeah today is sandwich day with home made bread“ I’m now a professional Baker’s Apprentice 😀

[@a1930ford]

Your tip on keeping your hands wet when kneading the dough is excellent, as this dough is very sticky to the touch otherwise. The moisture to you hands also helps to remove the dough from the sides of the bowl as you knead is or fold it inside your plastic bowl as shown. The dough at this point is normally called "shaggy" when mixed by hand. Your tip on keeping your hands moist/wet helps greatly when shaping that shaggy mixture into a ball.

[@George-cy3yz]

This is a fantastic method. I made this bread (just the first loaf) and got a terrific result. I did think the crumb was a little bit moist though (not unacceptable, just a personal preference thing). That could have been down to my flour (used Gold Medal Unbleached AP). I'm making it a second time using a little less hydration (70%) or 700g water to 1kg flour (same flour). AND, i'll make the full recipe (1000 g flour) but split it, baking the first loaf per instruction, but keep the second round of dough in the fridge for later in the week. I expect it will develop a little tang over a few days. We'll see how it all works out. More to follow. ... 5 days later: The lower hydration worked out well. The crumb was nice and moist, but not quite as glazy as the loaf made with 780 mls water. I have to say that I preferred it this way. That may have been down to my oven, the flour, or I don't know what else, but result I thought was great, better with less liquid. The second loaf, went into the oven 4 days later. I'm not sure I could detect much difference in flavor between the first and second loaves, but it was definitely a little flattter (and therefore denser) than the first loaf. Still, the crumb was open and airy with some nice sized pockets - though I'm not sure why. Could have been taking out of the fridge and getting it back to room temps and proofed, I buggered something up. That tells me that I can safely make this dough a day or few days in advance, or split the recipe as I did here (bake one now, one later) over a few days without getting too stressed about it.

Sooooo delish! Followed your directions and it turned out wonderful! Thank you for sharing

[@mallorylivingston4030]

I have tried many "no knead" recipes and this is by far the most reliable. My only modifications: when you flip the basket to get the dough out, flip it on to parchment paper, use the paper like a sling to lift it the dough and settle it into the dutch oven. Leave the paper in place during baking. Also, there is a metal trivet you can buy to put in the bottom of the dutch oven to lift the loaf off of the surface of the dutch oven to prevent the bottom from burning.

[@horhoruwm]

Thank you for a clear instructive video! I simply followed it step by step and the bread turned wonderfully crusty outside & moist inside and remain wonderful for the next 2 days.

[@sherierodrigues1569]

Thank you, thank you. I am the world's best at failed bread making, but today I have made the best loaf of bread, ever. I know what the secret is, I watched you when you were touching the dough, you weren't just touching it, you were caressing it. TOP SECRET. Lol. Thank you again my dear, your time and expertise is so appreciated. Hugs from Sherie Rodrigues from Australia. 😍🥰🤗
