I reckon I'll have to live another sixty years, just to try out all your bread recipes. I've made half a dozen in the past six months, never made such good, repeatable bread, till using the scale, in metric. I used to make good bread, okay bread, every once in a while, a specially light, airy loaf, but I get absolutely the best, every time now. I live in North Carolina, where the humidity and temperature, weather, is constantly changing, and it makes all the difference in the world. I no longer buy bread, haven't in close on to a year. Thanks again, you've made all the difference.

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Thank you for your kind words John and I'm happy that you are enjoying creating some wonderful bread. Thanks for watching. My latest video recipe. Here is the ingredients list and full written method on the channels website, Chicken Balti pies profoodhomemade.com/chicken-balti-pies/

Hello john , my dough is in the kitchen rising.I think the only one I haven't baked yet is the oatmeal and honey which I suspect will be my favourite. Your recipes along with a few other bakers is helping me back to life and stopped me from drowning in grief.I am baking bread, buns, cakes, all kinds of everything for family, friends, neighbours, anyone who likes home baking. Phew, wait intil the electricity bill comes in.

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Fantastic! I'm pleased you gave them a try my friend and they turned out well.

[@kathygreer2097]

The first of John’s recipes I tried was the honey oatmeal. It’s fantastic. You’re gonna love it! ❤ I baked a second loaf before we finished the first.😊

Hi John, expat Geordie here moved to Canada 30 years ago and always been dreaming of the amazing homemade bread smells when my Mam made bread during the bakers strike when we were kids in UK early 80’s. The pandemic brought me to your amazing collection of video recipes and seem to have unleashed my inner baker. I’ve made your no-knead white bread and whole wheat bread and also this 50/50 loaf with the seeds which has become our family favourite.... the smell, the taste, the toasted seeds... amazing. I’ve found if I double the recipe, my stand mixer lets me make and knead two loaves at a time so they can go in the oven together. My bakers couche arrived yesterday so your Ciabata is next for my Italian wife and then the Baguttes. Got to go, your scones are due out of the oven. Thanks for everything John.

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Always nice to meet a local here Tony, pleased you're enjoying the recipes, I've quite a few local recipes that may bring back a few fond memories too.

[@tonyboland2517]

Thanks John, your recipes are a walk down memory lane. I’ve got my eye on your Pork Pie recipe as it’s impossible to get a decent Pork Pie in Canada.

John, you are so correct about metric measurement vs. cups / ounces / pounds / etc. You converted me a couple of years ago to metric and it is so much more accurate and improves consistent results. I watched a video recently in which cups measurement was used. It made my head spin trying convert. Thanks so much for all of your excellent videos!

So true Alan, scales are the way to go, and using grams is the best.

Please follow these 4 simple rules when making these baguettes. Give me a comment if you need any more help. 1. Stick to the recipe rigidly, the quantities and ingredients are very important and carefully worked out for successful results. 2. Use digital SCALES for the measurements including the water, don't convert to cups or measuring jugs, they are too inaccurate. 3. Use proper whole wheat bread flour with at least 13% protein, check the ingredients list on the side of the flour bag for the protein level, protein may show in grams per serving but just work it out, it needs to be 13g of protein per 100g of flour. 4. Very important...Check your yeast is working, BEFORE you start, you can do a yeast test as shown in my sandwich bread video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/fojThJWPi55plcU

[@underbaked8689]

Hi John, just baked this 50/50 recipe for the upteenth time (well it's a damn good recipe)! However I was a bit naughty in that I altered your recipe just slightly and turned an excellent brown bread into something outstanding. Using the bakers percentage I upped the flour to in all 600g (as this suits the Lakeland bread tin perfectly). I then increased the hydration to 65% and used lard instead of oil. I heated the oven to 240C top and bottom elements (no fan), turning it down to 220C after putting the bread in. Out of the tin at 20 minutes and back in for another 25 mins. I used the lowest shelf and a baking stone. The result was the finest brown bread I have ever tasted with a tight even crumb and soft crust. It made also the most magnificent toast, just the thing for beans or an egg.

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Fantastic! I'm pleased you gave it a try my friend and it turned out well.

[@karenxu6847]

I’ve tried different recipes but by far this one is the best! I don’t think I did things entirely correct as my bread didn’t raise as much as John’s in the video, yet it is still tasted soft and moisturise. John’s channel is my best KZbin discovery during this lockdown. Greetings from Melbourne 🇦🇺

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Great job Karen, here is a few of my basic rules to follow for bread making. 1. Stick to the recipe rigidly, the quantities and ingredients are very important and carefully worked out for successful results. 2. Use digital SCALES for all of the measurements including weighing the WATER, IN GRAMS, NOT FLUID OUNCES, don't convert to cups or measuring jugs, they are too inaccurate. try to use bottled water if possible. Tap water contains chlorine, and in certain areas it is higher than others, which will weaken or even kill the yeast. 3. Use proper bread flour with at least 12% protein, check the ingredients list on the side of the flour bag for the protein level, protein may show in grams per serving but just work it out, it needs to be 12g of protein per 100g of flour. Plain or all purpose flour has a lower protein count and is great for pastries, cakes, and biscuits, but is NOT strong enough for making bread. 4. Very important...Check your yeast is working, BEFORE you start, you can do a yeast test as shown in my sandwich bread video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/fojThJWPi55plcU

@@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade Hey there, I've been making cheese from my goat's milk a couple of times a week! (She's named Nigella, after another shapely fave TV cook.) Today I shared some with my friends - feta in a spinach pie, with all home-grown ingredients, and camembert, which I can't believe actually worked! Especially since I haven't bought any cultures or moulds, just used raw milk, rennet, salt, and a scraping of mould from the rind of a purchased camembert cheese. They are delicious, and received rave reviews! I also made Cheshire, Wensleydale and Caerphilly recently. Not sure how to tell the difference between Cheshire and Caerphilly really. The recipes and results are so similar. Next may be a Stilton. I hope your cheese cave supplies are not running out! Cheesemaking certainly is a worthwhile hobby, and I'm patiently waiting for the next cheesey episodes from you John!

Another great video! I grew up using cups, but after I moved abroad I couldn’t even find a set of measuring cups to use. I ended up purchasing a cheap scale and it’s lasted for years. It’s very easy to use and I don’t have to wash a bunch of measuring cups. It really is much easier and I find recipes using cups frustrating, because they almost never turn out properly. I tried a German apple cake this week and converted the cup measurements to grams and it was a disaster. Anyway, I’m looking forward to trying this recipe!

Just wanted to say thank your for your bread videos John.... I felt like i had tried everyone until i came across you. Today, I baked 3 loaves this afternoon (brown & white), and the lemon drizzle cakes,.... And every one of them perfect. !!!

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

You are so welcome Niki, my pleasure.

[@rb2782]

Thank you so much for your wonderful experience you shared it with us. The bread is soooo good 👍 God bless you!

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

My pleasure Rachel, and god bless you also😊 My latest video recipe. Here is the ingredients list and full written method on the channels website, Farmhouse sandwich loaf profoodhomemade.com/farmhouse-sandwich-loaf/

[@teresacarney3060]

Slowly gaining confidence with my bread making, actually make it by hand now, rather than the breadmaker, much better, been looking for a wholemeal recipe, that doesn't end up really dense, this looks amazing, will try it later today, made your stotties, they didn't last very long, so grateful for your recipes, easy to follow, hope you have a fantastic Christmas❤🌲

I made this bread this afternoon and it was a great success. Thank you John!

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Glad you enjoyed it Angela, nice job my friend.

Hi John, I just tried this recipe with 375 grams of white and 125 grams of rye and it worked out so well! I am so delighted with your bread recipes and will try your baguettes tomorrow.

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Thank you for watching LDY, much appreciated. Rye bread recipe coming very soon. Just a little extra info to help you along if you do try these baguettes. Please follow these 4 simple rules when making these baguettes. Give me a comment if you need any more help. 1. Stick to the recipe rigidly, the quantities and ingredients are very important and carefully worked out for successful results. 2. Use digital SCALES for the measurements including the water, don't convert to cups or measuring jugs, they are too inaccurate. 3. Use proper bread flour with at least 12% protein, check the ingredients list on the side of the flour bag for the protein level, protein may show in grams per serving but just work it out, it needs to be 12g of protein per 100g of flour. Plain or all purpose flour has a lower protein count and is great for pastries, cakes, and biscuits, but is NOT strong enough for making bread. 4. Very important...Check your yeast is working, BEFORE you start, you can do a yeast test as shown in my sandwich bread video here www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWpSb... I have recently uploaded a clearer and quicker version of my baguette recipe if you want to have a look, here's a link, kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGG1m6GHfNeqsNk There is also a great recipe for Ciabatta rolls on my channel too kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXrSlWOjbNd3r7s Please check out the rest of my channel and playlists for more great video recipes. kzbin.info I have plenty more quicker and no knead breads, cake, cheese, and other recipes on my channel, if you would like to take a look.

I found your channel about a week ago and I decided to go ahead and attempt bread making. This week, I made Focaccia and prepared poolish then the following day I used you Ciabatta rolls recipe.... I impressed my Italian husband! Thanks for the videos and passing on your knowledge.

[@edwinajones8004]

After my success with your Yorkshire puddings I decided to try making this bread. Another resounding success. It turned out exactly like yours and was delicious. Thanks for posting the video. In over 50 years of marriage I’ve never made hot water pastry so after Christmas I’m going to have a go at your gala pie - you make it seem easy!

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Good luck with the pie Edwina, stick to recipe, use scales for all the measurements, and you'll be fine. My Christmas ham video recipe coming today.👍😃😉🤶🎅

[@patriciahendler6793]

I made this loaf and it came out perfectly. Great with butter, for sandwiches, and for toast. Best bread ever. Your step by step instructions and caution to use digital scale really make the difference. Next, your hamburger buns!

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Great job! good luck with the burger buns Patricia.

[@CGCarroll]

I have made delicious breads all thanks to your recipe. Love your simple and easy to understand tutorials. I feel so happy seeing my bread turn out perfect. Thank you so much Chef 😊

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Thank you, and thanks for watching my friend. Here is my latest bread video recipe, Easy Flat Bread, Italian style. profoodhomemade.com/flat-bread/

[@Alicia652]

I love watching you make breads! Your videos always inspire me. I have been using the cups and spoons recipes but I want to try your method. I already have scales so I’m going to give it a try when I bake my next bread. I’ve decided to quit buying ready made bread because the cost keeps rising and homemade is better for us and tastes better, not to mention the delicious smell that permeates your house when it’s baking!! 🥰 Thank you for your great videos!!

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Thank you for your kind words my friend.

Cups belong to the days of the pioneers. A set of scales is far easier and accurate all the time.For consistent results get a digital scale.Anyone who can add 1+1 can use a scale.

[@tongkrut]

Hi John absolutely first class cooking video, so many recipe videos on KZbin do not work but this one is perfect. I like the way you measure everything in metric as that is so much more accurate than cups and spoons etc. Keep up the good work and I wish you a very happy new year

Such a refreshing video! Just stumbled across your channel and I'm so glad I did! I'm from the North East (Stockton on Tees) and it's so nice to hear the accent along with proper traditional British recipes that my Nana used to make. Thank you John, you've just made my evening! Will be making this bread at the weekend :)

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Thanks for watching Vicki.

[@andyh19631]

Hi John, I just wanted to thank you for all your hard work and sharing your experience & knowledge. I can’t financially contribute at the moment as my life just doesn’t allow me to. I have been off work with depression for four months now and am at higher risk of contracting Covid-19 due to another underlying health issue. The reason I am sharing this with you is I have found a focus thank to you. I really enjoy watching your videos, mainly bread making, and I have made numerous bread loaves with success. This is my medicine which makes me focus and feel in a better place. I just wanted to thank you for all you are indirectly doing to help me. Stay safe my friend.

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Don't give it a second thought Andy, your company on the channel, and the thought it's bringing you some comfort, is more than enough reward for me my friend, stay safe.

[@marilynmcnama6476]

Made this Bread, and it turned out perfect, full of flavour and very light for a homemade whole wheat loaf. Thank you again John for sharing your talents with us. M xx

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

My pleasure Marilyn, and thanks again for your support 😉👍😊

[@jeffa4920]

I love that you stick to weight measuring only. I have a process control background and appreciate the accuracy and constancy of weight measuring. Great video.

Cheers pal. Our new go to bread. Its so good I have to knock out batches for the familly. Who knew baking could be so relaxing.

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

It certainly is my friend, thanks for watching.

[@leahmarjorie]

Thank you for these detailed instructions! I’m making this now less the seeds. I need to buy some for next time. It’s hard to find bread recipes using weighed ingredients here in the US. I fully agree with you about weighing vs using cup measurements. Thanks again!

[@thornbird507]

Ive just made this loaf! It didn't rise as well as yours John, but that's probably down to the dodgy yeast I used. It was alive but only just! I've just cut myself a slice and it tastes great! I made the sourdough sandwich loaf last week which was also a huge success, especially toasted and spread with my homemade blackcurrant jam. Yummy! Your book is definitely on my Christmas list.

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Thanks Val, much appreciated.
