[@marilynbouziane5530]

I recently stumbled upon your channel, after searching for sourdough, still intimidated to begin making it,as it seems very intricate and time consuming,but I'll give it a try anyway with your guidance. In my country, we mainly use semolina, wich is way better than flour in taste,and requires more kneading, back in the days, they used similar method to proof their dough as starter,but in fact they always take a small part of today's dough to use it tomorrow, that was their method to feed the starter I guess, there wasn't any,except for the scrape left in the jar each day, never used extra water or flour, neither a scale, but I remember it was very delicious especially when finished on the wooden stove.

[@graciekinkopf7979]

I am learning so much from you, but I do have a question. I have read to never mix salt directly with the yeast. Instead, mix the salt with the flour. Thoughts on this?

[@ChainBaker]

I have never separated them and I have never had any problems. The salt will only affect the yeast if you leave them to sit together for an unreasonably long time 👍

[@paramjitabbotts171]

Yes never mix salt and yeast together

[@markdlt2989]

Im new to bread making. I started milling my own flour to get the best taste and nutrients from my breads. This alone changes recipes etc. Any tips on where to start?

[@ChainBaker]

I guess the main thing that changes is the amount of water the dough can take. With some hydration adjustments it should be ok. I am planning on getting a mill in the not too distant future and I will definitely make some videos about it. So far I have not used freshly milled flour.

[@Ravy73]

I am pretty new to baking bread, so I am enjoying your videos. In each video, you mention taking the temperature of your dough.... I almost feel that you are trolling something, because I have yet to see you explain any difference based on any given temp. What good does taking temperature do other than poke a hole in the bread? Does the temperature help you determine something else like length of time further down the road? If this explanation is in a video somewhere, I have yet to see it. Can you give me a basic rundown on the function?

[@ChainBaker]

The higher the temperature the quicker it will ferment. The lower, the slower. Controlling the temperature allows for controlled fermentation time. Here is a video that should answer some of your questions kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6PKiYWtoN9gadk 👍

[@thomasgronek6469]

I have some problems with scale measurements. The area where I live has rapid and large swings in humidity,. I have calculated that a 3 percent shift in the flour's humidity can change the dough's hydration by up to 5 percent; not only is damp flour lost from the measurement, extra water is added. The combination of both, causes such radical swings in the dough's actual hydration level. Yes, I use the scale, but only as a starting point, I frequently find it necessary to make adjustments to the dough by and how it feels, and how looks. Any thoughts, opinions, or feedback (from anyone) would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for all of your great presentations.

[@ChainBaker]

Could keeping the flour in an airtight container be an option?

[@thomasgronek6469]

It could, but it was a 25kg bag from Italy, which went through Texas, and picked up a lot of moisture, for now, I think I’ll have to refrigerate or freeze it to avoid spoiling. Thanks

[@aarepelaa1142]

Tbh the hardest part about kneading bread for me is that there's no proper surfaces to knead in my house and if you use a silicone sheet it just sticks to the dough and makes it even harder, doesn't help that the table wobbles as well.

[@ChainBaker]

Watch this and never knead dough again kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5zRm3mgbpdmg7M I have not kneaded a single bread dough this year and I'm planning to keep it so 😄

[@ghuraba-9280]

It would be good if you could do an actual baking course in London somewhere

[@ChainBaker]

My channel has way more information that I could ever put into a course. You just have to watch it 😁

[@mattcero1]

Some say to sift the flour as it goes into the water. Others say that when the bread is at the end of the baking cycle to turn off the oven but keep the bread in there to let it cool with the oven. Some also say to do this with the oven door cracked to hasten the process. What say you?

[@ChainBaker]

Sifting is pointless and achieves nothing. I have made a video about it. Leaving bread in the oven to cool down would make it very dry. Speeding up fermentation by keeping the dough in a warm place would prevent it from developing good flavour because longer fermentation makes it taste better.

[@akhduke]

It would be great to see a video on how to store bread ? And how long resting is needed before putting it in a box. When the bread was to hot and moist I noticed it started moulding faster. Could you guide the best way to store bread. Just in a box, in the open or cling wrap

If I understand correctly there are 3 rises? The basic recipes I have used only have 2 rises. This can be confusing. Thank you for your videos!

[@ChainBaker]

There is bulk fermentation and final proof, and sometimes some steps in between. We don't divide them into 'rises'. Bulk fermentation can be punctuated by folds and degassing, but that does not split it up into 'rises'. It's still bulk fermentation. You can find videos bout folding and degassing in the Principles of Baking playlist 😉

So you said that sitting was very important, then you said right after that the type of bread you were mi didn't necessarily need to be scored. I'm confused 🤔

Loaves like this one are proofed until they almost reach their full volume, so when it's baking it will not expand as much and you would not risk it tearing open. I cut the lines simply to make it look more interesting.

how do i tell when a dough have rested long enough? :)

[@ChainBaker]

You will learn to spot it with time. The tighter you preshape it the longer it will need. You will feel the dough resisting if it has not rested enough. Generally 15 - 30 minutes is the rage. The lower the hydration the longer it will take too. Here is a quick video about resting - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWivq4SsgpqZhsU

Are you talking about flour types in any of your videos? When to use what type. If I'm not mistaken you are from Europe or at least some background of it…..

Here in the UK we only have cake flour and bread flour in supermarkets. The T-numbers are mostly used in mainland Europe. I use the same strong white bread flour (13% protein) in every video. Here is a little more about protein - kzbin.info/www/bejne/l52QXmSKlJ6fna8
