I'm a beginner and I've been looking for basic information and you've really helped. Possibly one of the best bread making beginner video. Thank you so much!
this is the most informative and perfectly executed video i’ve found. baker betty you are an incredible teacher!!! i can’t count how many times during this video, i said “ohhhhh”
Baker Bettie: Your presentation style is fantastic. I've watched all 21 videos on your Beginner Sourdough in 2 days. I love how you explain how to do something and the reasons behind it. As I watched video after video, some of the information overlapped. That was so helpful. I'd watch and try to guess what you'd do next to prove it had actually cemented in my brain. Your lessons frequently throws in a new fact that catches my attention. I have learned so much! Thank you.
Great information, i just made a loaf of bread that collapsed and was dense so i searched for my problem and came across your video and glad i did, i should be squared away after i watched this, thanks!!
Helpful? Heck yes! A big THANK YOU for this excellent video. The best I have seen! I have made Danish rye for many years from a handed down recipe passed on by older Danish immigrants that I grew up with back in the 50's and 60's in western Iowa. I have not seen any Danish rye recipes on internet searches that are similar so no desire to change this one. Nothing comparable out there. You have taught this old dog a new trick or two and so I will definitely watch a few others from you. We love this bread with Grenkal soup (green kale) another from my grandmother immigrated here from Denmark in very early 1900. Life is Good!
Shaping the dough was magic, haha! I've always wondered how people get those nice round loafs without scuffed untucked ends. Thank you so much for all of this information. :)
You are THE BEST teacher. I am a newbie but I see now, that by leaving the clock out of it (1 hr for 1st rise, Proofing for 45 min. etc), you teach us about the dough itself. Glad I found you
Proofing isn't necessarily about time. It's about if it's ready. If you are going for double rise, you need a way to know when it's doubled. KAF flour sells dough rising buckets. Put your kneaded dough in there, pat it down, measure it's height and when it's risen twice that height it's ready.
THANK YOU!! I’ve always wanted to make my own bread, and could never figure out what I was doing wrong. I had no idea there was such a thing as a gluten structure, etc. Thank you for so clearly explaining the WHY as well as the how. Love the 50s swag! You look so gorgeous with dark hair! Xo
Just had the overproofing problem happen to me last night. Literally the first time i've made bread without using a bread machine and my home is so cold that we are incapable of making bread by leaving the bowl on the countertop. I was so pleased that using the oven light, and some steaming water made the bread rise at all, that i missed the signs of over proofing with the second proofing. So we have some very dense potato bread now, but it's still edible and tasty. It just feels like dead weight when you pick it up lol! Oh well, like you said practice practice practice. I'm still excited that we actually managed to make some bread for once. We even had an old bread machine from my MIL in this house at one point and it was also incapable of getting our bread to rise. Either our house is THAT cold or it was a crap machine. I'm leaning towards both lol!
I’ve had that problem, my house was too cold in the winter. I also keep mine in the oven with the light on or sometimes just in the microwave for first bulk because it has a nice even temperature. With my oven light it can get too warm sometimes, just an FYI
UGHHHH I LOVE A GOOD "WHYS EXPLAINED" KINDA VIDEO!!! I AM SOOOOO NEW TO THIS & OMG IT HELPS LOADS TO KNOW WHAT EACH PART MEANS! THANK YOU SO MUUUUUCH! SO WELL EXPLAINED!
I have never ever in my life made bread and I was So lost when I saw another person's bread recipe online (no video). I searched on TH-cam and you were the first video i found. Thank goodness I did. You are such a great teacher and for my First time making bread it was really good! Thank you!! I can't seem to find your bread shaping video. Please lead me to it.
Hi! I started baking bread early last year (my dad has been coaching me over the phone), and I just wanted to say this was an excellent run down of the whole process! It pretty much covers everything I've learned down to a T. I would add that the greatest tool I've picked up this year is learning about preparing preferments (i.e. poolishes), it adds a ton of great flavour as well as extending the shelf life. I found it a benefit to use my WW and rye flours in the preferment stages as it softens up the fibers in the whole grains as well as providing additional nutrients for the yeast overnight. Also, as for the kneading process, my Dad has this 8 minute rule that never seems to fail me yet 👍.
Thank you for the info. I figured out where I went wrong. You mentioned the over proofing. That was the ticket. I proofed the yeast. Good to go there also.
Thanks Bettie! A friend introduced your video to me & I couldn’t stop watching yr videos since then! I am a homemaker n just started to learn about baking bread. Your video definitely help a lot!
Thank you Baker Bettie for helping me remember what I have almost learned. Born in 1951 I was just wondering, was that you I saw hanging out with Clark Kent down at the A&W drive in?
Very helpful as I try to understand the science of my baking. If I over proof my bread, I knock it back (another less aggressive way of saying punch) kneed if a little, reshape and rise again. I’d like to understand more about triple proofing.
Omg you’re so underrated!! I recently tried your chocolate cake and it was so moist my family loved it. Can’t wait for more of your cake recipes! You deserve more subscribers ❤️
@@BakerBettie Can kitchen bread Maker machine produce bread of the same quality as you do? Do you recommend kitchen breadmaker for bread making at home?
Thanks beautiful lady. The dough shaping part - you answered all the curiosities I still had despite having watched dozens of others' videos. It was a great tip to figuring out if your yeast is dead. I have a whole tin of dry yeast that might be dead. Now I'll know.
Tried doing it your way and the next loaf came out great! Your tips on kneading, the goal of kneading, shaping and how to determine when bulk fermentation and bread proofing were done made all the difference in the world.
I tried this with all purpose flour and the dough pretty much stayed sticky the entire way. Maybe I should try bread flour. Anyway great video. You are a queen.
I know how to bake and yess i get good bread🙈 but i wasn't able to equit this video before it finished noting that i know most of the information listed😊i like your videos; interesting and beneficial❤️
this is my first time of watching your videos...your cup cake recipie brought me to your channel...i subscribed right after watching the muffins vid...you are the best Teacher 😀😀...Plus i love your background set up...I love Vintage stuffs 😍😍
This is really helpful kinda frustrated I used my mixer to kneed the dough but don't think it was needed enough I did it a bit by hand too but I've baked it in rolls and they seam a bit dense
Love your 50's swag, beautiful presentation
Thank you so much!
I love it too!!
Very professional, informative, well-paced.
Very adorable kitchen and beautiful lovely young woman. 💐

I’ve been baking bread for years but I sure learned a lot from your video. Thankyou for sharing so much
I'm so happy to hear that Deborah!
Now I know some of the science behind what I've been doing. My homemade bread is lacking the yeasty flavor. I think I know why now.
I’m a newbie to bread making and I learned a lot from this!! Thank you!!
As an absolute novice baker, I appreciate that you always have a little more information for me to use!
I'm so glad!

I have been baking bread for six years, with a lot of trial and error. Your info here will lower the error tally for me 😅. Thank you!
You got this!
Thank you for ALL that valuable information ☺️

It was a great tip to figuring out if your yeast is dead. I have a whole tin of dry yeast that might be dead. Now I'll know.
Very clear and informative. I've baked about a half dozen loaves of bread and they have been too dense. Can't wait to try your process!
Tried doing it your way and the next loaf came out great! Your tips on kneading, the goal of kneading, shaping and how to determine when bulk fermentation and bread proofing were done made all the difference in the world.
