What great dough handling technique

[@gayvinmcginnes2508]

dough tension technique was very helpful!!

[@CuocoDiego]

Thanks! I have been struggling even after watching a lot of videos and finally today I manage to make a baguette that looked like the real deal!

[@iammisskizzy]

Mine will be going into the oven in an hour. I hope I can post what you posted!! All previous attempts at baguette have turned out to be tasty bread that more resembled those giant french loaves grocery stores sell. It's good. But it's not a baguette. Fingers crossed

[@sengelbr]

Fantastic video - TY for taking the time and sharing. The end result is absolutely magnificent - what every home bread baker dreams of. The tip on using ice blocks for those of us trying to replicate this at home is brilliant. (I wish I had one of those ovens in my home!)

[@thaabieddante5182]

Always great learning from you Scott!

[@charlesgrippo]

Scott you are so thorough and by far one of my favorite bakers

[@nightowl9176]

Best video on preparing baguettes I've seen so far. Great shots of shaping, tension and scoring technique. Thank you very much for posting.

[@claudioarado5402]

Absolutely the best video ever on making baguettes!! After years of delusions I followed your hints and just got amazing crusty bread, wondeful taste, really fantastic! I still have to improve my shaping tecnique but the video is so clear that I can't wait to try again and again. Thank you!!

[@robjacobs5199]

Thank you for the very educational video. It has given me quite a few tips to play around with in my new oven.

[@chefsimonlovingswimming]

OMG!!!! Chef Scott!!! I learnt excellent Artisan Bread knowledge with him last year! He is the real master of Bread!

[@tylerrooney89]

I appreciate your lessons soooo much. I'm so grateful you are giving us this information for free. Thank you!

[@nafisahmed8983]

very thankful for all the details chef

[@shahbazyusuf1190]

Excellent tutorial. I got great results on first attempt. Thanks.

[@user-dg8ct6ps5j]

Scott thank you so much for your videos!!!

[@50sKid]

This was really great. I learned a lot of little details. Thanks a lot!

[@ThursdayDog]

Thank you!! This is wonderful!!!

[@AndersSvensson_norrkoping]

This lesson is so full of great tips and information. Thank's a lot! Cred! I didn't follow you about 'the key-chain' solution, though ....

[@fussyrenovator7551]

Fabulous. Thankyou so much. The rolling technique has helped me so much

[@swarthyjoe]

Probably the best baguette I have ever seen. Bravo.

[@redlaazizi7625]

Very artistic well done

[@irenecase1933]

listening to that baguette crackle when you squeezed it made me drool and groan with desire chef. No joke is there anything better than sound? you just know that the bread will be fabulous!

[@Serendipity171990]

Excellent!

[@22anamae]

Awesome video. I wish I had some of your industrial equipment at home. Thanks for sharing

[@1juliejimk]

Thanks. much help! Rock On!

[@ettietti8533]

compliment to the chef thank you for the baguette recipie.🌷

[@mytube92369]

The crisp and the cracks of the baguette almost better than the accordion I would say they are in perfect harmony,bon appetite!

[@kmlutes]

That sound is so awesome

[@Cowboy28074]

Wow!!! Great video. I just learned a lot!

[@francinepoirier3645]

Much appreciated this video. It complemented what I was missing to successfully achieve nice, golden and crispy baguettes. Also learned how to transfer my baguettes from the couche to the peel board and then to the oven. Now I just have to master the speed to slide them off from the board. Easier said than done!

the presentation is very nice Thank you very much

[@ch-tc4ct]

so awesome and professional

[@oualidi10]

true art !

[@shwawen]

Thank you, great video!

[@Hafenschlick]

great practise, great video, thank you very much

[@ettietti8533]

Thank you, your method of shaping baguette is the best always a win for me 😊👍

[@darkogrbic9]

that's the way the cookie crumbles 👏

[@mikehalfhillsr.289]

Such an honor to watch a Master Baker going through his techniques so professionally, BRAVO. The fold and sealing demo you do is by far the best I have ever watched.

[@gerardjones7881]

It isn't done that way by bakers. He doesn't have the skill. That bakery uses a rolling machine to form their baguettes. I'm a retired French pastry chef.

[@user-ep7jb6zz2r]

Your bakery is excellent

[@afsharisohrab]

Hi! Beautiful work, beautiful description.

[@kateretrohouse8298]

Thank you for the video.

[@JEEROFUKU]

Marvellous tips! I’m in the process of second proofing of my dough ^^ Will bake baguettes tomorrow👌🏻Cheers!🍀❤️🥃

[@ryanambergialanze7296]

its amazing well done . and thank you for the detailed information you are sharing with us. I would love to see how you do your patisserie too please (croissants ,pain au chocolate)

[@Amond]

Love it!

[@bethbilous4720]

These are gorgeous baguetts

[@vickidellone9043]

Tension technique was so helpful, thank you! I had read the directions of the recipe I was using over and over but that section didn’t make sense. Watching this made it all click into place. Scoring technique was also very helpful. I used a hot cast iron skillet with ice water poured into it to create steam in my oven. Thank you very much!

[@glorytohim100]

May I ask? Do you leave the cast iron in the oven the entire time or remove after a certain amount of time? I kept mine in the entire time and the baguette built a nice crust but wondered if it's better to take out the steam sooner.

[@Cashvertising]

Simply a fantastic video in all respects. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. 👍

[@malgorzatasweet8479]

Nice work!

[@ornous]

My baguettes came out wonderful. Perfect vid. Thank You!

[@ornous]

@Capo primo Hey, are you referring to the outcome I got or my comment about the video being perfect? I mean, I definitely used ingredients measurements. :D Flippant comment aside, I went for a 75% hydration rate (which made shaping a little tricky). I used an overnight poolish and soaker which I let come up to room temp and blended in the morning then baked in the afternoon, giving it a few folds along the way.

[@ElviraBartlett]

My mouth is watering!

[@Charlie-zz1yz]

Great job

[@user-ee8of4xy4w]

동영상 잘 보고 가요..덕분에 많이 배우고요^^ 감사합니다.

[@phillipgonzalez8430]

If I was in the vicinity I would book a workshop. But can't really do, since I live in Chicago, IL. Great video though and thanks for the tips.

[@elloyk]

Wow!

[@rachelporter267]

Excellent demonstration from Scott. I've read so many books and watched so many videos, but this is the clearest explanation about why each step is done the way it is without any 'mumbo jumbo' or mystery.

[@chahbaboussettaelidrissi8536]

wow!! marvellous👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍yummmmmmy

[@sarthakmohapatra3738]

[@albelaa9372]

[@nayimbakery3199]

Best vdo clip on shaping Baguette, another confirmation from here Bangkok

[@aprilgomez3707]

buenisimo, bello

[@mark1904411]

謝謝分享.很棒又多學到一種整型手法很漂亮

[@afterthesmash]

The main attraction here is how quickly he blasts through the shaping process after long practice.

[@user-tf7zk2dq7q]

Great video - my fiance and I used the king arthur recipe but this video for the making part and they turned out perfect. They will be great with our broccoli soup. Just like the $4 loaves we loved so much here where we live. Not as pretty but now we have a new hobby. Took all day though but it teaches patience.

[@bethbilous4720]

what recipe did you use? Because this one is greek to me.

[@cageybee777]

superb
