¡Grande Maestra!, te sigo porque me encantan tus videos basados en ciencia, mis masas han mejorado muchísimo al aplicar el conocimiento que tus videos aportan, muchas gracias!! Siempre he querido una versión tuya de un pan muy popular que hay acá en Chile para hacer "Completos" o si es posible algún consejo, tengo un pequeño local y nos gusta fabricar todo muy artesanalmente basado en ciencia. Muchas gracias nuevamente, un abrazo grande.
This was quite the series on bread making. Good stuff. What about fat on bread? Is it more complex than we know or is it just "Fat coats the proteins of the flour, making it harder for them to bond and form gluten"?
Thank you very much for sharing expertise knowledge. Quite demanding for lay people! Would you please consider to make a video for those who want to use gluten-free flours? ❤
The water content of an egg white is around 90%, as for a whole egg, it's around 75%. Naturally, when calculating the total hydration, they must be accounted for.
Pretty sure a bubble isn't a nucleation site, and expanding a bubble by producing gas isn't nucleation. If you fermented under water in a closed container, then opened it, nucleation would occur as dissolved gas formed bubbles in the water, but I don't think expanding bubbles is a phase change.

Although I like your scientific approach this series has too much (unnecesary) information in a short time presented in a messy way with too less practical reference.
Hi Seraphine, well you never stop to amaze me. Thank you
Thanks!
As always I love when you geek out on the science.. omg!! Makes cooking so much more,”more” you know what I mean. Thanks so much!!
Thanks
I am a bakery scientist. This was a very good series! 🎉
Thanks!

You continue to amaze me, are you an engineer turned to baker ? lol.. Well done Seraphine
Thanks!
A happy new year! I think I can make this bread! Have a good day🍞
Happy new year!

We have a few videos on fat already, in our future videos we will cover more. Thanks.

We might consider it for a future video, thank you for the suggestion!
you never said what percent low, ideal or high hydration is. could you please say what is the ideal hydration?
Hi is water in the egg whites concluded when calculating hydration
The water content of an egg white is around 90%, as for a whole egg, it's around 75%. Naturally, when calculating the total hydration, they must be accounted for.
Bonjours , vous sortez un livre complet quand ?
Peut-être un jour :)
