Thanks so much, I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. A French baguette is a beautiful thing, and it’s very interesting to see how they’re made! Thank you 🙏🏻😋
Being french, I take for granted eating good bread. I did'nt realize all the hard work men like Mahmoud do to make such an amazing baguette for just one euro a pop.
It's crazy work, but I"m glad people love this craft so we can enjoy it. Waking up at 2 or 3 in the morning to get doughs started properly.... no thanks.
@@samsheikh9999 I'm from a small village in France and the local baker would get up at 4 am and while his dough was rising would take a nap in one of his giant dough troughs until it was time to knead it again. Hopefully this kind of dedication will never die- otherwise I will give up bread before I eat supermarket crap.
As a french it remembers me everytime I was send to buy breads... but one thing that is not shown... it is the fact that almost not a single baguette arrived in a home in one piece, there is always a part missing... and if you ask the person in charge of buying the bread : you eat half of it... the answer is : no not one half... maybe a third of it :) if your baguette is just coming out of the oven, an advice, do not buy one but two !
So... You all still don't understand the purpose of that air in those bags? Or maybe you do but you just would rather prefer tiny broken crumbs of chips.

We bought this bread early in the morning Went to the banks of the seine river added some Hand crafted butter from Jean-Yves Bordier from Brittany. Had a thremos of coffee And enjoyed Paris.
I lived in the 14th for a year and we had 2-3 bakeries within a 5 minute walk from our front door. One of the 3 was especially good and became my daily stop. Such humble things as good baguettes add immeasurably to one's quality of life.
Also, can we just applaud this guy for being from a foreign background, beating all the stereotypes and the challenges and being absolutely on top of his game! Absolutely inspirational.
As a French person, I wouldn't be able to tell he has a Tunisian background by looking at him and hearing him talk... He's second or third generation immigrant for sure, which is basically the same as close to 50% of the French population
This guy is just as French as I am (and I am, despite my very italian name). Why bring his "foreign background". Why people are trying to racialize everything? I understand your good intentions, but I believe it makes more harm than anything
I've been obsessed with making baguettes for a few weeks now, perfecting the technique each time, and I learned so much from this. It confirms things I am learning and taught me new things to look for, making baguettes is an art. Love it

He's the pinnacle of "Loving what you do", he went to school to learn about how to make bread to almost perfect form. Respect.....Baguettes are hard as shit though, the damn top literally cuts skin
@@joeldavis5815 I mean, that’s not true at all. If you only go to subway & other fast food, then sure it looks grim, but that’s far from the extent of the United States. Then again, it’s truly a matter of opinion.
I've try one time subway sandwichs in Paris. What a shame to call that bread. It's was the only one try. But for a french it's normal. Bread is a religion. I miss something when I travel around the world when I'm at the table, the bread. A french without bread to eat with a meal is lost.
I have this boulangerie where I live, my whole family swears by including myself, they do every type of bread and pâtisserie better than anybody, and I can tell you I've tasted from many boulangeries and this is the top notch. next year I'm going away for studies and im truly going to miss it 😔
This man is so French it's unbelievable. I lived in France for a year and he is French *to a T.* Mannerisms, attitudes, attention to detail and tradition, love of his food, it's so perfectly French and I love it.
The biggest mistake going to paris is going to buy a random baguette and saying OMG ITS SO GOOD. You really need to do your research. Just like going to italy for pizza. It’s a must to find the best place to get pizza and planning visiting that place as part of your itinerary.
I live near 5 bakers in France and it's kinda hit or miss. The bread is different everyday. Some bakers make an average baguette but really good pastries, others make great baguette but bland pastries. Some bakeries are just horrible. Just pick the bakery with the longest line. It's usually the best.
Even a bad baguette in France is better than a good baguette in the US. In fact, even a bad baguette in the rest of Europe is better than a good baguette in the US.
Love to see his passion during the entire process. Good on his father teaching him from an early age and pass on the passion and determination it takes to be one of the best.
I’m telling you, Baguette is a form of art - once you’re in Paris, you go to a boulangerie (bakery) and get a traditional baguette. Then compare it to a store-bought (usually made from a frozen dough) baguette. You will see the art I’m talking about.... 🥖
Yeah, and once you exit Paris and you are able to find an old school bakery, you can taste how simple things like "pain" and "baguette" can be awesome too :).
It's like bred in germany. But here the bakery lobby let die the tradition and forces ready-to-bake-mixtures which has there genesis in the pharma lobby. It's so hard to see the world is dying. Good to see someone like him 🤘🏻
Since I heard his story in duolingo podcast he became my hero :))) He inspired me to learn bread baking and taking my french classes more seriously :))) Working hard to work with this guy one day. See you soon Mahmoud :))**
Hello, french guy here. We can feel the quality of those baguettes in the vid, they looks like really good ones. The guy is truly passionate about his job and you can tell. Put some camembert from another Claudia's vid or some butter and marmelade and I couldn't be happier.
I'm french and this guy is so passionated..his father must be so proud. A good bread is 1 looks good 2 sounds good 3 smells good... There's no way it would taste bad 😂😂
The "French bread" stick you get around the world is so hard you can bruise someone with it, as as tasty as cardboard. But go to France and OMG you take a bite and you will literally close your eyes in delight.
That French bread is absolutely amazing the best bread ever it’s no wonder you have that prestige’s award if I could I would travel the globe for a loaf of your bread bravo
I love how they emphasize ancient techniques of using water and irregular bubbles, especially true to ancient roots is their use of machines to do as many tasks as possible to expedite the process on an industrial scale, very authentic!
He's selling these baguettes for so cheap -- you really think he would hand mix / knead / roll the dough? It wouldn't even change anything quality-wise since he manages the fermentation, shaping, proofing, scoring, and baking himself. If you're surprised that he uses a machine for only the most laborious tasks, then you'd be shocked at what happens to a typical loaf of industrially produced bread you buy at the store (let alone the number of enrichers/preservatives they're pumped full of).
Growing up in France, it was just a normal thing to go to the bakery almost every day to buy bread. La baguette tradition is my favourite type of bread, when well baked, it's simply exquisite. I live in the UK now and I miss it very much haha
In business we say that only the lower skilled people are afraid to share and want to keep everything for themselves. The best are not afraid to share.
I really love this journalist, she’s really curious and nice and she speaks many languages. Excellent video and excellent people all around! The baguette looks excellent too!
That crunch when they were done! My homemade baguettes came out looking similar! It's so much cheaper to make your own bread, but it's definitely not easy, and it takes patience. I'm not French but Czech. My husband is Albanian. I hope to visit France one day! :)
So fascinating. I literally just learned this in culinary school (like 2 hours ago) but it's fascinating to see it from the perspective of someone who has done it his entire life rather than an instructor in the classroom

I went to France and stayed with a family in the 80's in a small town. The one thing that has stayed with me is the quality of the fresh Baguettes we had with every meal. I have only had one Artisan baker in the uk able to make bread to the same quality. J Sainsburys mid 80's had a fantastic bakery that came so very close, but sadly now like others are doughy heavy french sticks. If you have not had authentic french bread, you should.
Quel exemple de sobriété, de modestie, de passion et de courage que nous démontre Mahmoud. Bravo pour ce magnifique travail fais de cœur à l’ouvrage et de détermination. Là où certains restent sclérosé dans leur jugement sur les origines, la religion ou le communautarisme, Mahmoud et sa famille ainsi que sa brigade font un joli pied de nez aux imbéciles.... fier que vous représentiez haute nos couleurs et celles de vos ancêtres. Merci.

I just watched this video with such delight for both the dedication to the craft and the master piece at the end, Imagining how good it would be alone or with salted butter from Normandy then I came back to real life to Carrefour bread, mah heart, I wanna cry
As an amateur sourdough bread baker, I can concur. Bread is difficult and very time consuming to make, but the result is unbelievably worth it. I think it's funny when chefs (especially french chefs) make absurd statements that sound romantic but have no bearing in reality, like the presence of bubbles making bread good for digestion. The bubbles mean your yeast is nice and active, that's it. The yeast makes those bubbles by converting carbohydrates into CO². Sure it's nicer to eat fluffy bread than dense bread, but once you chew it up and swallow, it won't make a difference. Quick digestion does not necessarily mean good digestion. Refined wheat flour digests quickly because it's a simple carb. Anything made from that flour, the body will digest quickly.
Rockstar Eater you keep commenting on everyone’s comments my god, you’re an attention seeking rat, trying to get people to view your channel the annoying way
Mahmoud you can be very proud of your tradi. J'ai grandi au Maroc et j'aime faire la cuisine qui demande du temps pour être délicieuse. Je fais aussi mon pain depuis longtemps car on n'en trouve pas du bon ici dans l'ouest du Canada. Ta tradi est une oeuvre d'art. Bravo ! Hamdullilah !

@@joeldavis5815 I mean, that’s not true at all. If you only go to subway & other fast food, then sure it looks grim, but that’s far from the extent of the United States. Then again, it’s truly a matter of opinion.
I've try one time subway sandwichs in Paris. What a shame to call that bread.
It's was the only one try.
But for a french it's normal. Bread is a religion.
I miss something when I travel around the world when I'm at the table, the bread.
A french without bread to eat with a meal is lost.
Claudia is the best. I love her "Insider" reports. So lovely and so well done!
He puts heart into what he does. I wish everyone was like that.
As the japaneses say, he is a living treasure ! Un trésor vivant
I have this boulangerie where I live, my whole family swears by including myself, they do every type of bread and pâtisserie better than anybody, and I can tell you I've tasted from many boulangeries and this is the top notch. next year I'm going away for studies and im truly going to miss it 😔
Lucky
This man is so French it's unbelievable. I lived in France for a year and he is French *to a T.* Mannerisms, attitudes, attention to detail and tradition, love of his food, it's so perfectly French and I love it.
I'm french and I can say he speaks a beautiful french too
@@cattnipp at least I didn't upload shitty guitar videos to brag that I can play guitar.
@@cattnipp I didn't, because I don't waste my time with garbage content. Also, who's bragging to whom about having lived in France?
@@cattnipp buddy I'm pretty sure Simone Biles is impressed with the mental gymnastics you're doing right now.
I love how much passion this guy has for his work, that he knows what not to do, and even why. Mad respect dude

If we don't respect the time , we will never have a good tradition .
Respect .
He meant a “traditional baguette” as we call it in France “baguette tradition”
The biggest mistake going to paris is going to buy a random baguette and saying OMG ITS SO GOOD. You really need to do your research. Just like going to italy for pizza. It’s a must to find the best place to get pizza and planning visiting that place as part of your itinerary.
I live near 5 bakers in France and it's kinda hit or miss. The bread is different everyday. Some bakers make an average baguette but really good pastries, others make great baguette but bland pastries. Some bakeries are just horrible. Just pick the bakery with the longest line. It's usually the best.
Even a bad baguette in France is better than a good baguette in the US. In fact, even a bad baguette in the rest of Europe is better than a good baguette in the US.
@@asdsdjfasdjxajiosdqw8791 Like why, whats the purpose of making that comparison? lol
asdsdjf asdjxajiosdqw i’d sure hope so, they made it
sadly, even a random €1 baguette in Paris is better than any baguette in the US; even a “French bakery” in the US will disappoint
such a pleasure to hear the passion and love in that baker's voice, how his eyes light up, the minute details... Breathtaking!
Love to see his passion during the entire process. Good on his father teaching him from an early age and pass on the passion and determination it takes to be one of the best.
What a great tradition passed on and you can tell he’s passionate about it. It’s always better to do something you love doing. he’s lucky!
You can feel the passion of this man. Also he cares so much about the process that he can shape the baguettes by machine and it doesn’t matter
I’m telling you, Baguette is a form of art - once you’re in Paris, you go to a boulangerie (bakery) and get a traditional baguette. Then compare it to a store-bought (usually made from a frozen dough) baguette. You will see the art I’m talking about.... 🥖
Yeah, and once you exit Paris and you are able to find an old school bakery, you can taste how simple things like "pain" and "baguette" can be awesome too :).
Hypermarket bread...I just can't! I'm a bread snob. 😅
fresh is always better than frozen, duhhh
As long as it doesn't pop out to be Bob Ross's face, I'll take your advice.
It's like bred in germany. But here the bakery lobby let die the tradition and forces ready-to-bake-mixtures which has there genesis in the pharma lobby. It's so hard to see the world is dying.
Good to see someone like him 🤘🏻
Since I heard his story in duolingo podcast he became my hero :)))
He inspired me to learn bread baking and taking my french classes more seriously :)))
Working hard to work with this guy one day. See you soon Mahmoud :))**
I love the fact that the cover is canvas, the paste is like gesso, and the last touch with the cutter is like the brush, true artform.
Hello, french guy here.
We can feel the quality of those baguettes in the vid, they looks like really good ones.
The guy is truly passionate about his job and you can tell.
Put some camembert from another Claudia's vid or some butter and marmelade and I couldn't be happier.
I'm french and this guy is so passionated..his father must be so proud.
A good bread is
1 looks good
2 sounds good
3 smells good...
There's no way it would taste bad 😂😂
The "French bread" stick you get around the world is so hard you can bruise someone with it, as as tasty as cardboard.
But go to France and OMG you take a bite and you will literally close your eyes in delight.
Well, u can find Amazing baguettes even in small towns in Siberia these days! The internet improved everything
So much love in his eyes and voice when he was talking about his baguettes!
It looks so good. Thank you for your sharing!
cô có ở đây nx à 😁😁
That French bread is absolutely amazing the best bread ever it’s no wonder you have that prestige’s award if I could I would travel the globe for a loaf of your bread bravo
So the best baguettes making award, in Paris, goes to the son of an immigrant! Does anyone comprehend how awesome this is!
I love how they emphasize ancient techniques of using water and irregular bubbles, especially true to ancient roots is their use of machines to do as many tasks as possible to expedite the process on an industrial scale, very authentic!
He's selling these baguettes for so cheap -- you really think he would hand mix / knead / roll the dough? It wouldn't even change anything quality-wise since he manages the fermentation, shaping, proofing, scoring, and baking himself. If you're surprised that he uses a machine for only the most laborious tasks, then you'd be shocked at what happens to a typical loaf of industrially produced bread you buy at the store (let alone the number of enrichers/preservatives they're pumped full of).
Growing up in France, it was just a normal thing to go to the bakery almost every day to buy bread. La baguette tradition is my favourite type of bread, when well baked, it's simply exquisite. I live in the UK now and I miss it very much haha
This man is a great baker. In my opinion he gives out too much information, because he loves what he does, and he wants to share. God bless this man.
In business we say that only the lower skilled people are afraid to share and want to keep everything for themselves.
The best are not afraid to share.
I really love this journalist, she’s really curious and nice and she speaks many languages. Excellent video and excellent people all around! The baguette looks excellent too!
This is actually amazing, the fluffy and crispy effect he is able to accomplish
This guy is so passionate about bread, love it
misc life peopl 🍞 world
That crunch when they were done! My homemade baguettes came out looking similar! It's so much cheaper to make your own bread, but it's definitely not easy, and it takes patience. I'm not French but Czech. My husband is Albanian. I hope to visit France one day! :)
Your husband like to drink Raki..? 😂👍
Génial cet homme qui aime tellement son métier qu'il le partage avec amour ! ... et quel délice ça doit être avec un bon beurre ! Cette tradi ! Merci
So fascinating. I literally just learned this in culinary school (like 2 hours ago) but it's fascinating to see it from the perspective of someone who has done it his entire life rather than an instructor in the classroom
11:09 I guess they weren't lying in ratatouille about the sound of the bread lol
Pixar doesn't mess around with their films' subject matters.
yeah, and awesome bakers usually use an alive yeast "colony" that they maintain and use everyday, so they don't have to buy it.
Lmao
@@pierrebe4492 That would be interesting to add to Ratatouille 2. A yeast colony. What type of yeast we gonna have in there? American, British, Indian....?
Very pleasant
Hi everyone who wants to support me in my channel hello newbies
Merci Mahmoud pour ton partage, quel savoir ! J'espère que tu resteras en France, on a besoin de talents comme toi 😉 Thanks Mahmoud for sharing your knowleges!
On va dire que ya pire comme arabe en France. Maintenant la boulangerie n'emploie que la famille apparemment, Mahmoud, Morad et le noir.
Et après ça nous parle de discrimination, quelle blague.

Broo i never wanted to eat a baguette this bad that soft inside and crispy outside looks sooo good 🤤🤤
You are right to be proud! The photos of your childhood experience are truly precious.
I could watch hours of this, very relaxing
Thank you for the beautiful image of your country🇹🇳 and the profession that you respect.
Greetings to you from Algeria 🇩🇿
He's french of Tunisian origin but born and live in France doing french typical product
That is true dedication. There is not "just a loaf of bread"! This is artisan craftsmanship at it's best...
I went to France and stayed with a family in the 80's in a small town. The one thing that has stayed with me is the quality of the fresh Baguettes we had with every meal. I have only had one Artisan baker in the uk able to make bread to the same quality. J Sainsburys mid 80's had a fantastic bakery that came so very close, but sadly now like others are doughy heavy french sticks. If you have not had authentic french bread, you should.
Lived in Toulouse for 5 years, and I can easily confirm that the bread is truly something special.
You can see how passionate he is about his bread. This is so great to see... We all should find our real passion, the world would be so much better!
Quel exemple de sobriété, de modestie, de passion et de courage que nous démontre Mahmoud. Bravo pour ce magnifique travail fais de cœur à l’ouvrage et de détermination. Là où certains restent sclérosé dans leur jugement sur les origines, la religion ou le communautarisme, Mahmoud et sa famille ainsi que sa brigade font un joli pied de nez aux imbéciles.... fier que vous représentiez haute nos couleurs et celles de vos ancêtres. Merci.
Je ferais juste remarquer que vous êtes la seule personne à faire des commentaires sur ses origines et ses ancêtres, alors que tout le monde admire sa passion et sa technique. Des fois, on pense être du bon côté et puis on se rend compte qu'on a des marottes soi-même, celles-ci certes pétries de bonnes intentions (l'enfer en est pavé). Bon dimanche !
@@Alceste-Resister le seul non . Et oui je le souligne. Les moralisateurs et moralisatrices du dimanche devraient s’attarder sur leur personne et méditer leurs grands adages à leur propre existence.

Respect his passion and his pride for his heritage.

So painful to watch this video and not be able to eat at the end
What’s passion In this guy. Incredible
I just watched this video with such delight for both the dedication to the craft and the master piece at the end, Imagining how good it would be alone or with salted butter from Normandy then I came back to real life to Carrefour bread, mah heart, I wanna cry
I love the way he talked, there is no pride on his face, only passion 👍
I love French bread its a meal and a Sword
My culinary weapon of choice!
True
You can do serious damage with it...
I can't remeber how many time i hurt and bled inside my mouth because i was careless while eating my french bread.
@@pierrebe4492 rookie
When she stuck her hand with her bracelet inside the dough mixer.. I felt that. I was anxious
As an amateur sourdough bread baker, I can concur. Bread is difficult and very time consuming to make, but the result is unbelievably worth it.
I think it's funny when chefs (especially french chefs) make absurd statements that sound romantic but have no bearing in reality, like the presence of bubbles making bread good for digestion. The bubbles mean your yeast is nice and active, that's it. The yeast makes those bubbles by converting carbohydrates into CO². Sure it's nicer to eat fluffy bread than dense bread, but once you chew it up and swallow, it won't make a difference.
Quick digestion does not necessarily mean good digestion. Refined wheat flour digests quickly because it's a simple carb. Anything made from that flour, the body will digest quickly.
A crash course in bagette baking and personal excellence. Fantastic interviewer, too. Thank you!
This guy loves his bread, he's great at making them, and he's got a really nice personality to boot! What a champ.
One day, i'll go to france and eat all the baguettes i can get my hands on!
I'll be there with you and film a baguette mukbang. Oh yeah.
@@RockstarEater a baguette mukbang while bakery hopping sounds nice. 😁
