Spring days in the French countryside - ASMR silent vlog

  • Bonjour!
    A silent vlog today as I myself have so enjoyed spending a few days in the garden, listening to the birds (there seem to be so many all of a sudden!), the sheep and the nature sounds and just loving my simple life!
    Here's the recipe for the breads I am making in this video. I like to make the dough in the evening and let it rise overnight and then bake it in the morning. It works beautifully and is super easy!
    Recipe for one bread:
    500g flour (I'm using 100% wholegrain spelt flour for one bread, and a mix of spelt flour and rye flour for the other bread, about 300g of spelt and 200g of rye)
    instant yeast for 500g (it depends on the brand you use how much you need so check the packaging!, it can be anywhere between 7 and 14g)
    10g salt
    365ml lukewarm water
    you will also need parchment paper and a Dutch oven (if you have one)
    Mix the flour with the salt. Then add the yeast and water and stir with a spoon to combine. You don't need to knead the dough, just make sure it is all combined. Cover with a damp kitchen towel and let it sit for about 45 minutes. After 45 minutes pull the dough up on one end and fold it over the dough ball. Do this about 4 to 6 times for each dough. Cover again and let it sit at room temperature overnight (12 hours approximately).
    The next morning, preheat your oven with the Dutch oven placed inside of it to 240 degrees Celsius. One the oven is at 240 degrees you need to wait about 15 minutes longer to make sure the Dutch oven is preheated completely. While the oven is preheating, transfer your dough to a floured surface, shape it into a rectangle and fold it over itself to shape a ball. Cover it with a little flour and transfer to the parchment paper. Let it rest while your oven preheats. Before putting the bread into the oven, score it with a knife. Place the dough with the parchment paper in the Dutch oven, put the lid on and put it in the oven. Turn the heat down to 220 Celsius immediately. Bake for about 30 minutes, then remove the lid and bake for 10 - 15 more minutes until the crust is nice and golden.
    If you don't have a Dutch oven you can also bake the bread on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Bake at 220 for 40 - 45 minutes and put a large bowl of water in the oven when you put your dough in.

    Watching you live your life is among the most enjoyable things I do. Birdsong and cat purrs are among the most beautiful sounds in nature. Thank you.

    Yes this is what a peaceful life is all about. Being a visual person I enjoyed this vlog immensely. No talking or music to disturb the senses. So many people make vlogs & feel they have to yak away & turn in some rubbish music. WHY??
    It’s lovely just seeing everything you are doing without sound except the sound of mixing & stirring & life going on. Excellent.

    Another lovely video. Watching you hang out clothes, our dryer broke about 10 years ago and we never bothered replacing it. I loved the smell of clothes and linens drying in the fresh air. Thanks for showing us your bread baking method, I have the same mixer spoon and I don’t use a mechanical kneader so it was nice to see your method. Your loaves tuned out lovely, I could almost taste the bread! 🥖

    It must be Friday. I’m dreaming of spring days in the French Countryside (again). And what a dream. I have my shovel out and am ready to help. If only I was a couple of thousand miles closer. Your video was so relaxing. I would take a shovel and below the middle of the clothes line, dig a hole and put a coffee can in the hole, stick that branch in and fill with small pebbles to the top to keep it stable. Or a sawed off metal pole. Something so when the laundry is dry and off the line, you can pull the branch out and put to the side and restore the view.

      No worries! You can click on the text “more” just below the video and it shows the text in the description box. You have to know where to find it indeed.
      I copied the text here:
      “The next morning, preheat your oven with the Dutch oven placed inside of it to 240 degrees Celsius. Once the oven is at 240 degrees you need to wait about 15 minutes longer to make sure the Dutch oven is preheated completely. While the oven is preheating, transfer your dough to a floured surface, shape it into a rectangle and fold it over itself to shape a ball. Cover it with a little flour and transfer to the parchment paper. Let it rest while your oven preheats. Before putting the bread into the oven, score it with a knife. Place the dough with the parchment paper in the Dutch oven, put the lid on and put it in the oven. Turn the heat down to 220 Celsius immediately. Bake for about 30 minutes, then remove the lid and bake for 10 - 15 more minutes until the crust is nice and golden.
      If you don't have a Dutch oven you can also bake the bread on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Bake at 220 for 40 - 45 minutes and put a large bowl of water in the oven when you put your dough in.”
      Hope this helps!
