I grew up with bread on the table with every meal in Malta. This is a very nice video showing bread baked well done (dark in places) as it should be which gives it flavor.

Had the absolute pleasure of doing the bread basics course with Scott. He is brilliant and I've leant a lot from that course. Highly recommend his courses. One of the best instructors I've come across. Answers all your questions in class as is very helpful in helping you once you've left the course. Thanks again Scott for your teachings 👍🏽

[@royallclark6331]

First off, thank you for a great no nonsense video. I must have watched it 5 or 6 times last night and this morning. Because of this video, I made a series of "firsts" today in my bread making journey. Made a specific size dough to fit my oven and family size, worked with a high (76%) hydration dough without getting frustrated and trashing the dough , and used the stretch and fold method you showed with success! Even with several mistakes on my part (some real brain farts LOL) I came out with one of the best breads I've ever made and the VERY BEST focaccia ever! Mathematics was never even close to my strong suit but with trial and error, I was able to come up with a formula for 1000g dough (to make 2 ciabattas) as well as a 750g dough (for one focaccia). Both are a few grams over the target weight but it works for me. Now I just have to practice so I don't make the same brain fart mistakes again! Again, thank you Scott for making it all sink into this old guys thick head!!

[@theartisancrust277]

HI Royall Clark!! So thrilled that these tutorials have been helpful and so very grateful for your feedback. Please don't hesitate to be in contact again with any questions or if you need to trouble shoot any issues you are having. Well done on your successes - and hoping that there are many more. Cheers, Scott

[@nomobties]

His ciabatta is on point. No issues. I’m confused about his focaccia. I’ve made it plenty of times. I always incorporate an ungodly amount of EVOO into the dough and when cooking outside of the dough. I do the finger press technique and topped it with things like grape tomatoes and garlic and olives and rosemary. This just looks like ciabatta in the shape of focaccia with typical focaccia toppings. Respectfully, it doesn’t look like the real deal. Mind you I’m a home cook. My Sicilian mom taught me how to make this since I was a child and now I’m nearly 60.

Scott Megee thank you sir.how much oil ? What kind ? Also is there a substitute for malt ?

[@nikolaskallianiotis8622]

Hi, this dough looks closer to 75% or even more of hydration while you give only 68%. If it is only 68%, what's the reason for double hydration? I understand why you add oil after gluten development, but what's the reason for double hydration in such a low hydration dough? Thank you.

[@Saxtrup]

@@nikolaskallianiotis8622 notice, that the added oil and water is not included here. Since it was explained in the video, that only 80% water was added at the beginning, this would mean that you add an extra 17% water (in BP) and a qualified guess would be around 5% oil.

[@salom1470]

I baked cob today and it came outall shapes and size. High hydration dough is very hard to handle, particularly when working with all purpose flour... We I can't l find bread flour where I live 😏🙄. Any advice.

[@theartisancrust8477]

Hi Salma, we generally don't use all purpose flour to make bread because it has a lower protein content than bakers flour. So to start with protein absorbs a lot of water so if you are using all purpose flour for bakers flour recipe you will automatically reduce the water content by 2-3%, this will give you a firmer dough to work with and help it hold its shape better as the proving process progresses. I hope that helps :)

[@hakeem8412]

My dough were still sticking to hands when pre shaping. Does it indicates under or overkneaded dough?

[@theartisancrust8477]

Hi Hakeem it can indicate both over mixing or under mixing or there are just some people that have warm hands and the dough wants to stick to them so they have to use more flour when moulding. So check you mixing times and increase it if you only mixed for a short time or decease it if you mixed it for a longer time and see what happens. Happy baking

With 80 % of your water in first you develop a better gluten structure and then when you add the second amount the gluten is evenly distributed throughout the dough. it also creates shorter mixing times
