Can you prove that it was Mike, dough? Would he rise to the occasion for one bread pun? I would have put at yeast two in there.

[@RaymondArias]

I knew those are meant as a décor for their cooking battles.

[@chelseapeterson349]

I feel like Mike was at his grumpiest and sassiest this battle. Maybe a long week and the splitting of the sauce was just too much? Mind you, it was hilarious and his ribbing was on point. I wanted to pat him on the head and tell him to take a break, but I was also laughing my ass off. X)

As someone who's IMMENSELY passionate about and invested in bread (German cliché, but so true!)... this video makes me very, very happy. Bread makes me happy. Although I'm still getting used to the 'fill soup into bread' way of eating. I'm more the 'dip bread into soup' person. :D

[@ninamarie177]

marwolaethgwyn being overly passionate about bread is one of the only German stereotypes that I fulfill and truly embrace. But I prefer whole grain or rye bread.

[@melaniehochuli4728]

I don't even know if that cliché applies to Swiss people as well but this makes me really happy as well!

[@seanthebluesheep]

marwolaethgwyn I'm glad they covered something you really enjoy. What's your favourite kind of bread? Is it the same as your favourite kind of bread to make, and if not, what is?

[@kirstenpaff8946]

marwolaethgwyn, I completely agree. I grew up in Germany, but moved to the US as a teenager. I still miss the bread. I once wrote a college admissions essay on how awesome the end pieces of a loaf of bread are...so much crunchy crust...mmmm...lecker!

Gaia Ang it was a pretty gouda decision on James's end

[@Wyntremaiden]

Oh my gosh, of COURSE! It all makes sense, now. I was so confused that he was so upset, since they are all basically bread bowls...but you are right, he doesn't like cheese! LOL. Well played, James!

[@bcaye]

AND he has history with bechamel.

[@stone5against1]

The best part is he fully knows he got that recipe as punishment for not following instructions and giving feedback.

[@Amarah4600]

He also has a history with celery that I don't know about

[@Southernchickkm]

Guys, I think it would be really helpful to have a spice segment! I don't have a clue what to do with some of the spices in my spice cabinet

[@audoldends6799]

[@aintdiscoenough3852]

Salt and pepper no matter what. Be generous with it. I love garlic with everything or chilli powder on everything. of it's a pasta, use italian seasonings. if it's texmex food, lots of cumin. Good luck!

[@TheDjurze]

You must be mistaken, Barry wasn't in this video. At the time you commented there's nothing happening, strange that they would keep an empty scene in the final cut.

[@TheDiplomancer]

It's been five years since this battle, but whenever I make a roux, I still chant, "It's important to cook out the flour. It's important to cook out the flour. I don't know why, but in the past I haven't done it, so it's important to cook out the flour."

[@annachristine4497]

I just wanted Barry to egg wash those buns! Then they would have been so shiny and nice.

[@JoashNarainsamy]

In South Africa we call that curry bread bowl a "bunny chow", it's one of the most popular Indian takeout dishes here, certainly one of my favourites!

[@lianarakotondramboa4103]

In South Africa, they call the curry in a loaf : Bunny Chow and it's delish . Well done Jamie !

[@kajsub]

Love the way after Jamie gave us a little break and an ad played straight after

[@SChappellaz]

It's a bread battle where the bread is made ahead of time and the recipes use the bread, but it's not the focus of the recipe. You could cook apple pie filling, chicken or soup and not have the bread. The bread is relegated to bowls.

[@SChappellaz]

I'm sure James' bread is fantastic and his recipes for the fillings are great too. It just feels like you're judging the guys on filling and whether or not they can follow instructions on how long to bake the loaves.

[@ZhiyuanXu]

SChappellaz I'd agree but you have to consider the fact that bread making can be quite challenging especially for novices. It's also quite boring from a video production standpoint since most of the time is going to be spent in proofing. However I think it would be more interesting if they showed some bread making techniques such as shaping a baguette or something.

[@celinewu4889]

Zhiyuan Xu butt they can cut out the proofing or fast forward it

[@SChappellaz]

Or they could have chosen other types of bread to make (for example a naan) to showcase other forms and techniques (like you mentioned shaping a baguette).

[@jasmine-rose18]

SChappellaz making bread is boring as fuck though

[@jasonmcgee7457]

Hey, why was it called a "bread battle" but the bread was already made for them? This was more like a "follow a recipe which slightly involves bread but isn't actually necessary to the recipe battle"

[@dasdovian7785]

Bread take awhile to get started partially because you have to let the dough sit for awhile. That probably why they had the dough premade. I used to work at a restaurant and all the bread dough had to be made a day or so before it was going to be used.
