    You know it's serious when the pencil is present. Jack you managed to created the missing manual for bread hydration; you've given folks a huge amount of info to think about when looking at their recipes; you've added your unique sense of humour to our days; you've given folks something to look forward to; you've managed to help make people successful in their new businesses; maybe, can you do something about world peace? . Way to go mate!

Thanks to you making these helpful videos with all the maths, principles and things to consider 😊 A while ago I made my own recipe with the remaining flour (mix of white and brown flour) and some extras and bits and bobs I wanted to try.

    Hi Jack thanks for your informative and witty videos. I used to get my bread from a German baker here in Australia, who made sourdough bread which I liked. After 35 years I moved away from that area where he had his bakery. So I started making my own. With the help of your video's I gained enough confidence and bake now twice a week a loaf for my wife and me. I love to have pumpkin seeds on the outside of the bread, and thanks to your comment, I now can score the bread, and it cuts right through the seeds no trouble. I always had the dough too long out fo the fridge before baking, and the seeds moved on the soft dough surface, and it was impossible to score the dough. Thank you very much.

    YES YES YES I NEEDED THIS. I always wanted to know the hydration rate of different enriched breads so if its below my personal preference of hydration rate for enriched doughs (which is atleast 60%), I can adjust. I saw somewhere on the interweb that how you calculate the hydration rate is based on the water content of milk, eggs, butter, etc. Thank you so much for doing this and I’ll definitely check out the blog post!!!

    I recently did an experiment with different enrichments on bread and found myself wishing I had calculated eggs and milk into my hydration. They made a MASSIVE difference. Two eggs almost turned my dough into batter, turns out they are like 75 percent water. It was super interesting and I learned a lot from the experiment but not what I was trying to learn lol. It was a valuable lesson nonetheless.

    Haha Jack, you crack me up! Just to let you know that here in Canada all our all-purpose white flour is 13% protein (4g of every 30g of flour), which I think is similar to your UK strong white flour. I can't find any flour in our grocery stores that has a lower protein percentage. My sourdough bread (80% white, 20% WW) is baking as we speak...

  • @mandiigraham1596
    @mandiigraham1596 2 года назад

    One of the most valuable tutorials for bread making. Always impressed how much information is in that brain of yours. Now I just need a guide/chart/idea of how to calculate fermentation time(eg overnight) for different temperatures. Everything I have read seems to assume that all room temperatures are 21-25C. If my temperature is below 21C then I know I can add more time and I can do that if I am home all day. But if it is in the high 20’s or more I know I have to shorten the time but I’m certainly not going to stay up a few extra hours so I can monitor this. If you have any suggestions as a guide, it would be much appreciated. Oh and I guess anything that is added to the recipe that absorbs liquid, should be included as part of the 100% of the recipe (to calculate hydration)?

  • @M_J_nan
    @M_J_nan 3 года назад +1

    So, what about the dry content? Flax flour, quinoa or chia seeds etc. Some of them soak up a lot, the flax f.eg.
    I've been wondering about that and usually I add a bit extra water when I add those things. Right or wrong?
    I would love to see your take on additions like seeds, fibres, dried fruit and possibly different kinds of flour like emmer, einkorn. Thank you for your excellent videos!

    Problem is, I am so confused by bakers math (yes, even with a tutor).
    I noticed you don't use bakers math when you double your formula and your loaves seem fine.
    Is bakers math antiquated or necessary in today's kitchen, which is starting to feel more like a science lab than a home bakery 😐

    Quick question (and I put my hand up, I may have missed this in one of the other 140 videos), if I'm adding, say 50g pumpkin seeds would I still use 500g flour or do they count towards the weight of the "dry" ingredients and I'd only need 450g flour? I suspect they don't and I'd still use 500g flour.

    • @Bakewithjack
      @Bakewithjack  3 года назад

      GOOD ONE! Your full starter is 158% so... 170 / 158 gives you 1 percent (1.07g). Multiply by 100 for the flour content and 58 for the water. 107.5g water, 62.5g flour (ish) = 170g total 🤯 is that what you meant?
