» Proof Bread is a modern throwback to a way of life that values small-scale craftsmanship, local community, and creativity. We are a small group of passionate bakers working in our garage (thanks to cottage laws) which has been converted into a micro-bakery. Everything we bake is made by hand, from the best local ingredients, with no short cuts.

Damn her hands are so steady, nice job!

[@deebrake]

We got our first Lame today, a classic one like the one Emerald is using here. A huge “thank you” to Emerald for her videos demonstrating the use of the lame and to whole team for your countless Patience in recording the many ways to score bread. My husband and I have spent many hours listening to/watching Your Channel since early 2020. We have been very thankful to see your strength in getting through all the challenges and wins. We are beyond happy for all of you and the Team. It has kept our focus on the strength of good people getting the good things hard work brings. Although we don’t know you we are hopeful to visit Proof Bakery in the future once we are all the way through this pandemic. Wishing you continued success. Thanks again.

Hello, very inspirational thank you for sharing. I don't know what it is but I can watch bread baking all day every day.

[@NoNeedToShout]

Again very artistic and skillfull both for the decorative art and the bread handling / knowledge. Thanks for sharing!

[@cachi-7878]

@12:47 Who was thinking one of the two loaves on the peel might end up on the floor? 😊. Nice work! 👏

[@thegemthecolor]

i know i definitely was 😂

[@apaheus]

Emerald, I hope you had as much fun doing this as it was to watch! Very nice!👍👌

[@Diegoyoutube24]

Very nice! Love watching your artwork come to life. Thanks for sharing!

[@NancyAnneMartin]

This was SO useful! Thank you and praying you'll be able to bring her back very soon.

[@kimglasgow9559]

How lovely! Something lovely for the world

[@josegomezgil1924]

Please let us know who bought your space dinosaur? How big was her/his smile? Love your art, greetings from Spain.

[@bonnied72]

I love that you are able to have so much artistic freedom in your job! You're very talented! Also I'm learning so much for my own home sourdough baking since I want to turn it into a small business.

[@wufflemann]

Could watch you create for hrs. Great work!!

[@karpetech]

Thank you for the video. That was an amazing loaf. I will attempt my first pumpkin-shaped loaf this weekend and I'm all stressed out about it. And I mean stress in the best possible way. I'm excited and anxious to see if I can make it happen. Thank you for all your beautiful inspiration.

[@thegemthecolor]

karpetech i believe in you! 😄

[@mechanicalgardenthings]

My four year old daughter is obsessed with dinosaurs, especially T-rex, she was gushing with happiness watching this video, with me, and said "no he's perfect!" when you started talking about what you could have done. He's perfect.

[@thegemthecolor]

who would i be to argue! thank you and thank your young one for me too.

[@yonggreen1010]

Love to watch your videos. Please make more and keep the good work 😘

[@VinegarAndSaltedFries]

I love this so much. You absolutely rock Emerald.

[@kiweekeith]

Absolutely Love your work .... So artistic ..... When you started .... All I could see in my Minds-Eye was a 'Batard' with a 'Road-Runner' on it ..... Cheers, best to All the Team from New Zealand ...

[@IggyCotton]

Emerald! You Rock Gurl!!! I wish you guys shipped out of state! I've found nothing locally (Indianapolis) that even compares to the quality you folks give to all your products! What ever shipping rates could be, Would be worth having your products delivered! Proof Bread, There's No Other!

[@bellabates4512]

Beautiful work. Is that water you’re spraying on top I do using flower rice flour??

[@ursulacox8985]

Beautiful! What tool are you using to score the pattern before using your lame?

[@thegemthecolor]

it’s nothing special, just a traditional lame without a blade. any thin, blunt stick would work. sometimes i will use the dull end of a skewer or a cooking thermometer, just whatever is handy!

[@YllaStar95970]

Halloween themes would be cool! Home made scoring tool too! The closest we ever got here, in the UK, would be a wheat sheaf, for harvest.

[@thegemthecolor]

I've been waiting all year to do some Halloween loaves! I'm excited for those.

[@sugarcast11]

Absolute Gorgeous Loaf

[@susanhillis5952]

Wonderful yet again

[@matthewjamesduffy]

This is awesome, great information and highly creative. Thanks for sharing.

[@carlabaker7965]

Emerald! Well, it made me smile :D

[@pasteleriaycupcakes]

You are an artist

[@rscottranda]

Are you using white rice flour on top? Is standard bread flour ok to use when decorating?

[@thegemthecolor]

yes, i use rice flour! i have heard of other bakers using all purpose or bread flour, but can’t attest to that myself since i haven’t tried it personally.

[@yoshie7181]

How do you keep your loaf from falling flat ? I try to score pretty but the load starts to spread

[@zaubergarden6900]

try a tutorial by the bread code. this channel here is very good at explaining the very individual process of this bakery and how to manage that Developing dough strength and producing a proper sourdough bread might be better explained elsewhere IMO

[@thegemthecolor]

it comes down to the strength of the gluten, the tension from shaping, and scoring the loaf when it's cold and before it's too fermented!

[@Kartonknig]

@@nikolovesfood I agree. Flour here is relatively good in quality but so low in protein. I can't get bread flour over 11% protein here

[@rasalas91]

Have you ever made a loaf for yourself or your colleagues, where you can just try out technique? (like different types of eye "cutouts" or very fragile stuff?)

[@thegemthecolor]

i do this pretty often! i usually bake one or two of these a week do work on new ideas and techniques. my coworkers are typically pretty happy to take them off my hands.

Amazing, adorei. Congrats.

[@lucydoherty1984]

Amazing 😮

[@jl6842]

I want the astronaut t-rex sourdough for christmas

[@green7apocalyptica]

That's so cool 😍🦖🚀🛸

[@dhirajshukla7142]

Nice,👌👌👌👌

[@sophiesoulsister2222]

Does anyone know why my sourdough goes flat when I turn it out of the basket? It raises so well, to the top of basket but deflates to 1/2 the size when it gently comes out of basket. Help!!!

[@ProofBread]

Likely it is not shaped in a way that creates tension with a solid shape. We have several videos that cover shaping which I would encourage you to browse.

[@sophiesoulsister2222]

@@ProofBread thank you and thanks for the quick response

[@bmartinelli]

Great pizza!

[@SuperMatthew7042]

anyone else think it looks like the dinosaur is on the moon? with the white rice flour and the big circular function score around the whole loaf?

[@DavodAta]

Maybe we can call it "Artistan" Bread :-)

[@thegemthecolor]

putting the ART in artisan 😉

[@sloanfestge8801]

If you disliked this vid you're a clown

[@kevinwillauer5348]

Not to be rude but it’s not a kids birthday cake. I’m surprised the owners are not encouraging you to do more classic sour dough bread scores that would look beautiful as a center piece for Proofs customers.

[@pbnak]

Just make the bread! Put it on the shelf, done

[@zermomia]

Let me love you 💖.

[@scapmans1079]

Great video. Lousy camera work.

[@thegemthecolor]

the lighting in that room is definitely not ideal! perhaps we can configure a better set up

[@bloodfurypk666]

Decorative is nice but let be real , let say this take 10 min of your time for 1 piece , this mean costomer need to pay the bread 3$ to 4 $ more only for the decoration , just my 2 cent peace

[@NoNeedToShout]

For a center piece type of bread that would be very much ok, other decorative scoring will be combined with the functional scoring and takes very little time per loaf. Also to compare production time per loaf with regular fabricated bread (and that includes products from a lot of actual 'bakeries') will never seem to make sense... My 2 cents 😉

[@bloodfurypk666]

@@NoNeedToShout i`m not saying this badly , is just he are living in a so competitive market , i like her work and the Decoration on the brean , i think is good for special occasion christmas ect , have a nice day

[@NoNeedToShout]

@charley222 I didn't think you were, just trying to point out that the segment that this bakery is targeting are probably likely to appreciate the craftmanship and art involved in creating the end product and are willing to pay for that. The bakery will never be able to compete from just a cost perspective with something like supermarket bread. Live long and prosper and may the force be with you 😊

[@thegemthecolor]

I agree! Most of the loaves I score are very minimal in comparison to this one. These are really just for gifts or special occasions. I only make a few a week unless it's a big holiday.

[@amberm7771]

Since she uses these as a display piece at the market, they would also bring in more customers who are interested in seeing the designs. The extra time spent on the loaf could be worth it in terms of advertising.
