Hey mate, great video, professional chef here. The reason why you dont mix the salt and the yeast is that the salt will prevent the yeast from doing its thing and wont rise as it should, its very important when making dough of any type that you keep the salt and yeast seperate, aAlso little tip, when mixing the initial dough use the back of a wooden spoon and mix it in an over and under type method, this will help all the ingredients blend together and create a smooth dough. over all your video was great and you done a great job. please feel free to reachout if you need anymore info or Tips. Regards, Pete.
Hey Chef! Thanks for the information! I appreciate that and salt killing the yeast makes a ton of sense. I probably shouldn't admit this, but the reason I mixed the dough with a bench scraper is kind of funny. The recipe said, "if you don't have a mixer use a table knife". It just never popped in my head that they were referring to mixing it with a butter knife.. which still seems odd to me. So I thought maybe the UK referred to a Bench knife as a table knife.. so I grabbed the plastic bench scraper and just went with it :)))) Glad you enjoyed the vid and thanks for the comment!
Yeah looks very tasty!
Yeah this was a good one!
