My First Week Full-Time in my Microbakery [Entry One]
Просмотров 24 тыс.Год назад
👋 Hello, my name is Adam and welcome to my microbakery. I've recently had the opportunity to launch into running it full-time, and here I hope to catalog all of the various ups and downs that come with it. Thank you for coming along. 🌍 thegoodbaker.com.au/ 📷 adamthegoodbaker #sourdough #breadmaking #microbakery
Get a sack truck! Chuckles. This is an old video - I do hope this has worked out well for you. Best of luck.
Hello Adam. I have a question. Hopefully you can answer it :) I just received my Rofco B40 oven and tomorrow I’ll be baking my first bread in it. I don’t know this oven yet and I definitely need to learn how to use it so I don’t want to bake a large batch of 9 loaves right away. I want to bake only two loaves. My question is: will the baking result be the same if I only put two loaves in such a large oven? I don’t want to bake 9 loaves in case they don’t turn out well.
Short answer: no. Well, not really. Starting off with a smaller bake is a good idea, but the temps and times won't fully translate to a bake with a full load. At some point you'll need to go for it 🙏
lights broken as usual !....rofco quality expensive piece of junk
I took the lights out. The glass slowly cracks with the heat fluctuations and so I felt it was safer to remove them altogether. I didn't want glass shattering all over a bake. I found the RofCo ovens to be quite good.
Thank you for the video. Where do you sell your products,mate?
Yup, it's outrageously fun, but it's not easy. High highs, and low lows mon ami. I'm in the same boat, and as much as I love working independently in the kitchen, I feel like the obvious next step is to get help. We only have two hands and one person can't do it all, and keep it together sometimes. Best of luck dude!
Thank you for the inspiration!
Hey Adam. I've just binge watched all of your videos. 😅 I want to say you look a lot happier now, and that's what's important. Will you continue baking from your kitchen at home?
19:54 20:13 omg hope he does a Hygine course
I'm not sure what your concern is.. Rest assured, my operation was above board with council and following approved procedures.
@@adamthegoodbaker obviously all permits had to be in order, my comment is about touching your maouth and your hair and then touching the bred without washing your hands, keep it in mind. Hope your business keeps on growing well done
Or perhaps I usually edit out most of the footage of me washing my hands (and dishes and floors) because it's not particularly captivating to watch.
Thank you, Adam, for the inspirational video.
Are they Rofco B20 ovens?
The B20 and the B40, yes. Great little ovens.
I think that's the same flour than I buy. Fourteen percent protein and unbleached
Would love to learn more about your craft
They look so good. I really enjoy your channel. It's helped me so much with my baking. Thankyou.
You can just do videos of preserving cooking anything interacting with friends and family and perhaps even baking
Where r u Adam ? We need u to post videos even if videos of nothing… i got my inspiration from you. And have built a new kitchen . Im also overwhelmed and fear of failing is an understatement.. Just post and be active we need you
This is a new adventure you are supposed to be excited about. Try to turn round the critical thoughts by enjoying the process
I love this. You’re living my dream
Not “disappointed” in your transition at all. Really inspired by your honesty and examination of what you need to live well for yourself. Cheers to whatever vibe you want to share!
Thank you for sharing this part of your story. We have a cottage bakery here in Baltimore, Maryland (@heartinhandbread) and totally understand some of your challenges. Yes, we love it and the community AND it also may be the hardest thing we have ever done. Not full time yet as my job still pays the bills but hoping transition soon. Even on the hardest days, I still land on wanting to keep baking because I don’t want to live without it. Best of luck to you!
I would like an instructional on your seeded bread.
I really liked your sincerity and respect for the product. I wish you much encouragement in your life experience. I very much agree with you about what you are talking about feeling true passion for a process and wantig to make it your way of life, and how tremendously difficult to start (i livre in Spain) and it is very difficult. I believe that behind every door that closes there is a window ajar. Sorry for my bad english, greetings!!🤗
Your English is rather good! Thank you so much for the support, much appreciated 🙏
🎉🎉🎉 Russia good video
I just watched your video in which you are deciding to end your commercial bakery business and stay at home. That video encouraged me to subscribe and so now I have watched your entry into the bakery business and your video in which you take your leave from the business. As I said in my comment on that video I'm looking forward to watching all the videos that you have produced. Thank you for providing this journey for me to enjoy. Today is March 5, 2024
This was the first video of yours that I have watched. I enjoyed it immensely and it was only at the end that I found out about your decision to stop the commercial bakery. I am going to subscribe and watch your earlier videos. I am in to woodworking, in particular; turning bowls, pens and other things I wasn't doing it to make a living although I did sell a few pieces; but I also sort of felt pressure to be out in the shop all the time or I felt guilty and so the enjoyment kind of dissolved. Now I'm out in the shop when I want to be and my enjoyment is back. I look forward to more videos and I'm glad that I have a whole bunch of your videos in the "bank" that I will watch at my leisure. Keep them coming ! Garry
Thanks so much Garry. I definitely echo your sentiments re: the pressure of monetizing your passions.
Have you thought of getting an employee?
Can't really afford to
@@adamthegoodbaker Hmm. And if you raise prices?
There's not really any room to raise prices any further. Sentiment among consumers is that sourdough is already an expensive product. It's something I've looked at from many angles, it's exceedingly difficult without going into debt.
@@adamthegoodbaker I see. So going into debt would allow you to scale your operation and make more money on volume?
Possibly. Though more likely it would send me further into debt, the trade off being "growth" of the business. I've spoken to other bakery owners, profit comes many years in, if at all. Food hospitality is a brutal trade.
Good on you for knowing what you don't want. Life is about trying new things, rolling along at a pace that suits you personally. Do what makes you happy. When we are in sync with where we are meant to be things just flow. Do you, enjoy and stay real :)
Great to have you back Adam. Could you please share the recipe for this bake?
Hey Ken! Glad to be back :) Are baker's percentages of any use to you? That's how I calculate and scale all my bakes. The recipe itself was very simple; a blend of two stone-ground white flours with some wholewheat as well. 75% hydration, 19% inoculation (starter) and 1.9% salt. I think to offer adequate detail I'd really need to do a dedicated video, which I reckon I'll try get to soon.
@@adamthegoodbaker Thanks Adam. Only use percentages when I have to! But do.
I've enjoyed watching you go through your day as well as your bread baking process. I keep trying the sourdough, definitely a learning process.
So glad to see you again. I do not do the social media (ignorance I know, but my choice!), but do enjoy watching all your joys and passion around creating! I certainly appreciate the low and slow in many things I do and the sharing of what I produce with family and friends. Would certainly be interested in seeing as many tutorial videos you would like to make. I am so pleased you are putting yourself first and preserving your wellbeing and I look forward to seeing come what may!
Really appreciate all the kind words. Thank you <3
Would love to see you keep going with whatever you’d like on this channel. A stream around your steps would be great.
Legend, thanks Mike. A stream *that* close may be a bit precarious, but luckily I already have one just off the back of the property ;)
Can we have an at home bread making video showing how you do it?
Quite possibly, yes. I'm keen to try film something that demonstrates my process.
As someone living on the other side of the world and waiting for spring this video makes me ache for fresh produce and warm sunny days. Keep going. We'll stick around for anything you choose to share with us. I look forward to hearing about food systems.
Love the honesty. It makes the human more alive.
Wow. I’ve only been making sourdough for a year. Obsessively. I’ve had many nice loaves but also a lot of inconsistency. I so badly want to sell but don’t feel sure of myself and I definitely suffer with a small apartment kitchen and also having imposter syndrome! I’m going to watch more of your videos to see where you’re at 11 months later. Your loaves looked lovely. Sending support from the United States.
Hey Brother, happy to see you return! One thing that would be super cool for people wanting to head up the same business as you, is a equipment walk through, in struggling to find equipment that work in my 10 amp house sockets 😢 Keep well brother, and keep at it !
I could certainly look to do something like that - appreciate the suggestion. In the meantime, you'd be surprised what you can find that works on 10amp. The Rofco b20 works on a standard residential outlet, even my big mixer in the bakery (30 litre capacity) works on a regular plug. Obviously there aren't as many choices, but it can be done. Depending on where you live, you might find a licensed electrician can even come and install some 15amp plugs for you. I had it done for a very modest fee so I could use the b40 at home.
@@adamthegoodbaker thanks for the reply ! And good feedback What mixer do you use ? And does it have two speeds ? And is it 10 amp
Great video, really enjoyed it. I am patiently waiting for my rofco b20 to be shipped and am interested in your baking process with your rofco. Do you spray mist? If so, does it cause any damage to your oven in any noticiable form? Also, I really enjoy the music you play in the background of your videos. Is that your own? Thanks for sharing, such an inspiration.
Thanks for the kind words. I do spray the b20 with mist, yes. I just use a pump garden sprayer thing, works really well. No notable damage and I've been using mine for years, and it's common practice with Rofco owners. Only thing to be wary of is the internal light, I've heard a few horror stories of them breaking during a bake due to the cold water hitting the hot globe. I removed mine before that could happen. Some of the music is mine, some is from an artist called Cloudkicker. Links are in the description (though not everything you hear is available to the public).
Thanks for the video andshowing what it is like to do what you do!
I am so jealous of your ovens , I bake all my loaves in my home oven , takes forever to bake multiple loaves
They're pretty great!
I appreciate the synchronicity between my cottage bakery in the US and your own personal growth. I am working myself out of a hiatus I had after my big holiday push. Glad to see you make an appearance. I have been thinking of picking back up my guitar as well but haven't gotten that far.
Thank you. I'm still on my hiatus too. Though I'm stuck somewhat against my will, a mixer and my car are both broken 😅
@@adamthegoodbaker I had to retire my vehicle the week before Christmas! haha!
Oh dear. Well, I can certainly empathize.. 🫠
As a chef I have always been impressed by bakers and pastry chefs. I am excited to follow your journey. Celebrate your passion man!!
As someone new to the hospitality industry I have massive respect for tenured chefs! I'm doing my best; honestly finding it harder to cling on to the passion at the moment ❤
@@adamthegoodbaker that will happen. Specially while trying to find your style and voice. There is nothing wrong with stepping away to breath for a moment. Something I like to do personally is come up with some new challenge to focus on when I’m feeling overwhelmed. Something that I can dig full heartedly into. Not even something I’m hoping to put on a menu just something for me. There is nothing wrong with indulging in the art of our science or the science of our art sometimes.
I really loved the intro
Thank you! I enjoy the quiet moments and love to share them :)
@@adamthegoodbakerkeep it up sir!!!!
Same here. Lost motivation for the micro bakery for a bit (still a bit lost) and at the same time blaming myself for not being driven to push myself to work harder and try harder.. It's quite normal I guess when you're working solo. I guess you'd just have to take the time when you need and things will work out eventually. Whether it be getting more motivated again or finding other passions and sparkles in life. At the end of the day, it's about growth as a person and enjoy life as we are all different and need different things.
Well said. Very much reflects where I'm at right now <3
I’ve had chats with other bakers and you’re not alone with the ruts life throws at you, and they get a kick at how I love their product. There’s something wonderful about munching on loaves basically out of the oven. Also, I’ve noticed that it takes a special person to be able to take a chance at turning a passion into a business. I know I’d have a hard time with it. Wishing you all the best Adam!
Thanks bud. I've also been talking to some baker friends, and it seems we all agree that it's a pretty rough gig at times. You've gotta be a certain type of crazy and willing to neglect your body and sleep schedule to run a bakery 😂
Glad you didn’t give it all up. Enjoy your videos. Good move to do voice over instead of narrating as you work. Narrating as you work can lead to errors and then you still need to edit. Great to see you again. Happy New Year and best of all for 2024.
Thanks Ken! Yeah, still around for now. And I think we have enough of a community here that I would still offer content on this channel, nor will I ever stop making bread ❤
I’ve just started my catering business still very very young still only word of mouth stage . Your videos shouldn’t be too hard to keep up with , Just a short 15 min unedited video daily will get you more subscribers and keep us wanting to see what you’re doing every day … Believe me you will be making more money from RUclips than u can imagine …. Just do it and you will see the difference
Finally u posted something ❤keep your chin up and keep working hard it will definitely pay off
Thank you. Yep, still here! Putting these videos together takes a lot of time/effort.
Thanks for another entry on this series. Motivates me to keep going
Your channel resonates with me. I 100% feel what you feel. You are a "real" baker, by the way, we all start somewhere❤
Thank you 💜
It doesn't seem like it's capitalism that's getting you down but just not running into people who appreciate what you do. Here's a thought - have a little raffle for some special bread, have people drop in their contact information for if they win it. If some of them are really enthusiastic about your bread, make a note. Then, on a slow day, if you've got a lot left over, call one or two of them up and say, 'Hey, I've got some extra loaves of X today, would you be interested in a deal?' Even if you're not making full retail on them, getting that energy back from people who love your creations can really re-energize your passion. Sometimes that can be worth more than the money.
Appreciate that, thank you. You've definitely hit the nail on the head there, sometimes it's not just about getting a financial return, it's just wanting to feel like your work is appreciated.
Hang in there and continue to give your product the attention it deserves. Find those opportunities, the farmer's markets, the pop up's and Sat. nt gig stand that is selling tomorrow's breakfast dreams. Nothing is easy even when it's easy. Your kitchen, your retail space and process look lovely and well organized, excited to see your business grow.
keep it up mate, you will get in there.
