Understanding FINAL PROOFING in sourdough bread making. | by JoyRideCoffee

[@chunkapur5057]

Your "unproofed" bread is way better than anything I've ever made 😋😄 !! Thank you for yet another educational video 😊👏🏻

[@BreadbyJoyRideCoffee]

Thank you!

[@isaacdewispelaere3309]

Your videos have changed my sourdough. I share them all the time thank you for all of the info!!

[@janicetanumihardja808]

This is the video that made me realize i have been overproofing my dough. Thanks a lot!

[@amandinelemaire6854]

Thank you again for an interesting video and to allow us to understand more about bread! It was surpring to me to learn that sourness was small only after 48h.

We all applaud your consistent and consistent results.

[@BreadbyJoyRideCoffee]

Thank you!

[@lbamusic]

Thanks for the experiments! Bake #1 with just 6 hrs of bulk ferment, probably has not had adequate time to convert enough starch from the flour and make the bread more heathy to eat with less sugar. Thats why I make S/D - to ingest less converted sugar from starch.

[@BreadbyJoyRideCoffee]

true :) that's the point!

[@nikinikolakaki9346]

Perfect experimentation! You are into our minds...Well done! (so bulk f. is the most important factor besides a strong starter)

[@BreadbyJoyRideCoffee]

Hi Niki. Indeed bulk is the key.

Thank you!

[@TonyGanzerMedia]

I appreciate the walk-through!! I make mostly quicker breads (2-3 hours) because I’m baking for a hungry family in between my work days. Cold proofing sounds interesting-I’m not sure I could last 46 hours though 😆👨‍🍳🥖

[@shanlovesbaking]

Awesome experiments！That is my question about the process of proofing. No proofing does not mean underproof and long proofing does not mean sourness. Proofing is very important when we make the soft sandwich bread like Japanese Hokkaido Milk Bread. It is very different from the lean sourdough bread. Thank you for your perfect sharing!

[@reneotten5411]

Very informative ánd inspiring, as always! Thanks for more insight on the breadmaking proces 🙏

Hi! Great video, like always! Can I ask you a question? I looked for the flour on the site of the mill Verrini, but they have many types of flours "0" can you specify which one you used whit a link, please? Thx ❤️🍞

[@higashirinchiah1013]

I was looking for this piece of info. Thanks for producing this? I was even wondering if bread can be proofed for 3 days or 7 days too?

[@layzy24]

I just asked that too

[@BreadbyJoyRideCoffee]

Sometimes, if I have a busy week, I prepare a dough for 4 loaves on Sunday and put them in the fridge. Then bake one on the day I need it. It lasted at most 5 days, it did not overproofed but the gluten inside was destroyed and some caves came out. But it was still good. If you want a longer time, I suggest you freeze it (I still freeze them with banetons)

[@layzy24]

@@BreadbyJoyRideCoffee pics (videos), or it didn't happen. 😄

[@anam.aria.]

@@BreadbyJoyRideCoffee where are you getting your bannetons from? 😊

[@isracusa1781]

When bread proofs, there is not only fermentation but enzymatic activity. The first ends up with sugars, the second with gluten net. Besides, cold or retarded fermentation favours acidity, so the more time you keep dough into the freedge the more acid the bread will be. And the less consistent, spongy. You can get rid of gluten degradation by using very strong flour, and reduce acidity by using young levain in less quantity, say 5% total, and doing a shorter bulk fermentation at air temperature.

[@MyCoelhoFamily]

Hi Joy, thanks again for this nice experiment and great video! How could you get 6h bulk with only 2 coils foil ? Have a wonderful day.

[@BreadbyJoyRideCoffee]

Hi! Early gluten development is mandatory. And you must fit water quantity for the flour.

[@KowitaG]

Hi friend. How do you store your bread after baking it? How can I preserve the crispy crumb?

[@barrychambers4047]

Don't the deep cavernous holes on all 3 loaves suggest underproofing, or do I have that wrong? The 3rd loaf certainly has markers of overproofing though. I take it, loaves 2 and 3 went directly into the fridge after shaping, correct?

[@BreadbyJoyRideCoffee]

yes. directly in the fridge. underproofing or overprofing are just terms. otherwise, as long as the bread is tasty and good-looking for your taste, you can fit it somewhere between these terms. For me, a bread that has a lacy crumb that keeps its freshness for a long time is not a underproofed. Likewise, for me, if it's not sour or collapsed, it's not overproofed.

[@barrychambers4047]

@@BreadbyJoyRideCoffee Just trying to learn. I'd certainly be happy with any of those loaves! Please keep it up.

[@menace46]

Lovely video. But surely, from the description above, you shaped 3½ hours after starter inoculation, not 6. It was 6 hours after the beginning of autolyse. Or perhaps you waited another 2½ hours after the third coil fold before shaping?

[@BreadbyJoyRideCoffee]

thank you. yes, total bulk was 6 hour from starter inoculation. (after second fold I let it untouched until the bulk was complete)

[@eddyed8135]

Very good info, thank you.

[@katrinam9238]

Someday I will have gentle shaping hands and techniques too! Do you have experience with fresh milled flour? Im using some from a local mill and it proofs incredibly fast! Also has a tighter crumb. I'm concerned about over proofing but don't know if proofing under 4 hours is enough. I proofed at a lower temp my last batch. It continues to bulk even in the fridge overnight!

[@zkassai.audio.2]

It’s wonderful to see a new video of yours! On the topic of proofing I wanted to ask you: do you ever final proof at ambient temperature, either completely or for a short time before a cold, long final proofing? A few recipes I’ve seen do that, but a lot of others don’t, and I was curious whether it is even really necessary considering you don’t do it and your bread looks amazing.

[@BreadbyJoyRideCoffee]

I prefer cold retarded loaves for complexity and balance of taste. But sometimes I want the bread on the same day and I do the proofing at room temperature (2-3 hours) and a very good bread comes out. So it's a matter of your preferences and the schedule you have. Note, however, that scoring is more complicated to do if the dough is not cold.

[@ginabuttikofer3887]

Crazy question, but who is the musician in the background sound? So smooth! Love your videos and the simplicity of descriptions.

[@ManuRedd]

Great video! How are you able to prevent the dough from sticking to the banneton after such a long proof? Do you use a different flour? Also do you have a video on the exact methods you use during the baking process? Thanks and hope to hear from you!

[@amanadrieljohn90]

Rice flour is your friend.

[@8360365]

Thanks for the video... You didn't mention how the flavor of bread #2 turned out?? Curious

[@BreadbyJoyRideCoffee]

I would describe it as the most balanced. Complex, strong taste (specific to sourdough breads) but balanced, with an imperceptible sour shade. This type of bread is my favorite.

[@blackthorn5620]

Hi do you have a video on different methods of strengthening the dough? Slapping versus coil fold?

[@BreadbyJoyRideCoffee]

Not yet! Thank you!

[@mrs185]

Your bread is beautiful, so I subscribed. But for a housewife like me, it is difficult to learn flour milling technology and its types. I'll put off baking for now, please write what "flour 0" is, under what name it can be bought in a regular Canadian store. The same applies to flour 00. On bags of flour in Canada, only the name of the company and the type of flour are indicated - wheat, wheat with or without bran.🤷‍♀️ I would be very grateful for a simple answer.❤

[@guillaumebitton9729]

Hi! You truly make beautiful breads! Can you tell me what flour brand you use? Do you add any gluten? Thanks! I tried your recipe many times and was never able to get such amazing results. :)

[@1b1uster]

Can autolyse be done in the refrigerator overnight? When you performed the lamination, was table surface wet? Thx

[@zezehvieira6298]

Adorei a experiência !!!

[@ricos1497]

Yep, it's confirmed, you still bake bread that's 99% better than all others regardless of how long the final proof is! Good experiment though. I suspect that for most people it's all about the schedule, when you're going to be in the house. When I make sourdough, it's nearly always late afternoon or early evening the day before, with overnight proof and bake around 11am the next day. Although with a colder house, I've noticed that my starter can be fed late the night before and still be at peak the next morning, so I could change that schedule quite easily over winter. Thanks for the video!

Hi! Could you please tell me what flour you feed your starter with? Thanks!

[@matheussilva305]

hey! i followed one of your methods and had great bakes! but during the last couple ones, the part where i score the bread (the slit that opens up during baking) stays kind of “flat” and doesnt really have that beautiful round shape, but the other part is usually very nice and round. what am i doing wrong? am i under/overproofing?

[@BreadbyJoyRideCoffee]

Can be overproofing. Did you checked fridge temperature?

[@maryj3240]

Yes , that happens to me too the bread doesn’t have that beautiful round dome shape. I thought it could be due to the low protein level of my four 11.5% ?. I can’t fine flour with higher protein level in my local shop.

[@adrianc.134]

Did you let the dough reach room temperature before baking it or you just baked it cold?

[@maryj3240]

Hi, I like to know is it ok to use the starter without having to feed first? As I had fed it a couple of days ago and still have some leftover & it has been sitting on the kitchen table at room temperature around 23C? Thanks

This looks really interesting, but unfortunately I can't read most of the subtitles as they disappear into the background on most of the shots.

[@anam.aria.]

When you see them showing up you can pause the video. But it's a good suggestion to have the subtitles last longer, for sure.

[@TheAlbaGarden]

I'm ***desperate*** to stop those large tunnels you are getting. Any suggestions? I find it so impractical for using when it is like that.

[@CASSIE_COLE]

How much you let it grow in bulk ferment? 30, 50 or 100%?

[@mateuszptaszynski685]

So if bulk is done correctly you don't have to actually proof the loafes because there is so much gas already inside? It seems like your dough does not rise in the frigde so much. Thanks for an incredible video (:

[@layzy24]

How do you compare the sourness level of the second and third bread? Is the 48 hour proof more sour than a 24 hour proof? How about a 72 hour proof? 96 hours? I want super sour bread. Have you ever heard of bread bakers adding any additives to their bread to enhance the sourness?

[@nikosmix]

You should then bulk ferment at higher temperatures that favor the lactobacilli and the taste becomes more sour.Also use a starter of 1-1-1 kept at high temp also.

[@BreadbyJoyRideCoffee]

I'm on the opposite side, I don't want sour bread. I have not explored in this field but many attempts can be made (from starter, temperatures, leavening times). Bread 3 has a sour but very small hue. I have never used additives.

[@tastyfrzz1]

OK, I'm going to just say it. I'm skeptical of your results. You're either adding a bunch of sugar in with your flour and/or are doing bulk rise at an elevated temperature or you have some kind of Franken yeast. Baking without proofing would likely not give those results. It would more likely be a hard lump.
