    I just found your channel when I was looking for proper hand kneading techniques. I'm not new to baking, but I'm VERY new to breadmaking and I was getting so discouraged by the nonstop "Now attach the dough hook and set the speed to low for 3 to 5 minutes..." It was surprisingly difficult to find someone who consistently works dough by hand. I've now spent the entire double-proof-and-baking-and-cooling time of the loaf I was working on browsing your instructional content. This is an amazing channel. I can't wait to try some of your recipes!

    Prepped a double batch of dough - allowed to cold ferment for 20 hours, then shaped as six buns and a loaf. As the dough was straight from the fridge, I allowed for extra pre-shape rest and final proof times for the buns and loaf. I baked at 390F (no fan) - 23 mins for buns and 35 mins for the loaf.
    Oh, the crumb for both the buns and the loaf -so soft and fluffy with a wonderful depth of flavor and the crust has the perfect “pretzel” bite.
    Thanks, Charlie for creating this video and commenting about making it as a loaf. Whenever you say "or you can make it this way", I think to myself, "I can do that" - and I have you to thank for that. 🤩 Photos have been posted (#323)

    I've made pretzels before but this was long before I started watching "real" baking tutorials. I just followed actual BOOK bread baking recipes, like America's Test Kitchen, & The Joy of Baking, etc.
    I had good results, but not great.
    I think I'll start this method, w/ the scald, today, since we're snowed in (Central Wisconsin, March 22, 2024), & I need to make some bread anyway. I can't eat anything w/ beer, but I know my adult son & grands will enjoy the bread this weekend.
    Thanks so much for the recipe!

    I blame you for my diet struggles 😖 seeing bread look so fun and tasty i started baking and, of course, ate the bread.
    I also thank you, as does my family, for teaching me how to make bread and for now having a fun skill! I’ve gotta take a break from bread baking for the sake of weight loss, but once i reach goal weight ill be incorporating homemade bread into my diet (need carbs for weightlifting), especially the slow fermented potato bread.
    Im curious how using a darker beer like a stout or scottish ale would alter the flavor

    I also used to use baking soda, but since I tried leaching directly in NaOH I don't do it any other way. The taste and smell is incomparable. I highly recommend it.

  • @annchovy6
    @annchovy6 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Buns look great. If I get around to making them I’m definitely using lye.
    One correction- pretzels aren’t usually boiled, only soaked. They’re not meant to have the same chewy crust as a bagel.

  • @wilhelmseleorningcniht9410
    @wilhelmseleorningcniht9410 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    if you want to achieve something closer to lye pretzels but only have baking soda, one thing I've found very useful is cooking the soda. Sodium Bicarbonate can be dehydrated into Sodium Carbonate by heating in a pan or the oven (pan is faster and imo easier, but oven is better for bulk).
    This is effectively washing soda that you'll have made and it is a number or two more basic than baking soda, though not as much as lye. The end result is somewhere between soda pretzels and lye pretzels, but I find it quite serviceable myself and easy enough to boot that I never find myself not bothering to go through the process. I just leave it to cook off while I prepare the dough, as I don't normally bother with long fermentation times myself.
    edit: as the baking soda cooks off its water, it'll "dance" about the pan should you move it, behaving much like a liquid. Really weird to look at the first time actually, but you can tell it's about done when it _stops_ doing that and acts more like a normal powder again.
    Safety note: As the soda is quite hot and is a caustic powder *DO NOT* add water to the powder, and only ever the powder to the water, else it'll, and mind it's more caustic than normal baking soda now, will be flung about the place including one's face

A tough sourdough baguette, Mexican, that is halved lengthwise, stuffed with carnitas, and then covered in a brothy soup. I would love it if others who follow you would attempt this as well. I am tired of rye, so taking a small break from that to explore some wheat breads.

    Hi! Does the recipe in your website include the extra 30% of beer already in the scald? I did 190g beer at first, then my scald looks way thicker than yours in the video, and after adding the main flour, the dough mix was very dry, so I added in extra 30g room temp beer to the dough mix, to get a closer look to your dough. Wondering next time when making scald, should I bump the beer from 190g to 220g in my case? Or perhaps my boiled beer temp is higher than yours so it made scald thicker?

    • @ChainBaker
      @ChainBaker  หลายเดือนก่อน

      190g total liquid should be enough. Perhaps your flour is stronger and better at absorbing the liquid. If 220g is good for you, then go with it from now on.

    I'm torn about adding salt to the scald - isn't one of the benefits of scalding increased enzyme activity breaking up the starches? In that case the added salt would negate it, wouldn't it?

    • @ChainBaker
      @ChainBaker  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That's more of a benefit for rye scalds which are kept at a constant temperature for many hours. This is a quick and dirty version to weaken the gluten and make the starch absorb lots of water to keep the bread fresh for longer. I've never noticed any difference between a scald with salt and one without.
