Ive baked a lot of different bread recipes from RUclips. Like most i started with sourdough in the pandemic but his recipes are by far better than anything else out there. Every recipe ive tried by far surpasses the quality and results of others. Its evident he is a professional. My only disappointment it that i didnt come across them sooner.
This is a phenomenal set of videos. Thank you very much for taking the time to make them. Could please elaborate on the flours you are using, what is the protein content and brand (if you can)?
I use primarily 11.5% protein flour, which for some brands is AP flour. If you are in the U.S., Whole Foods 365 brand Organic AP, and King Arthur Flour Organic AP, are excellent choices.
Wish you showed the inside of the baguettes of both video's of making baguettes, I tried your baguette of Episode 3, I did not get those big holes (crumbs) that I wanted. Maybe I'll try 67% or 70% hydration next time. Other than that the dough came out beautiful.
I've put it in the fridge for about 14 hours and it has still shown a good fermentation. If I had left it at room temperature it would have been over fermented for sure.
If you are not into levain, can you substitute by Biga, what would be the trade off in resulting bread? Obviously adapting the formula for the reduced water in Biga and the presence of yeast. Assuming calculations are good, what would be the impact of a Biga iso levain? Would the Biga bring any added value to the poolish?
A big adds a different strength and flavor profile rather than a levain. Certainly you can substitute with proper hydration and salt calculations. The dough will be less chewy, slightly less fermentation time will be needed.
I would love to make this and follow your videos but the quantity of dough is too much for me. Can you give me the flour amount for about 4 loaves? I am 76 years old and trying my best to be successful at this.😊

70% < hydration should work
grteat tips, but I didn't get if you put the poolish into fridge or at room temperature?
During the 16 hour fermenting period, is the Poolish left at room temp or placed in the fridge?

Is there a printable recipe for these French Baguettes? I've just thrown away a lot of Flour and time.

The hydration level in this formula is 61%. This looks a bit low for a baguette dough. Are the numbers correct?
I found the same. I had to add quite a bit more water as my Kitchenaid was just about to have a heart attack.

He's wearing a chef's "jacket" for the purpose of the video . . . not an episode of Truman . . . it's an educational video!
