Note! To everyone saying "use sugar!" I've used sugar every time since (although it still doesn't seem to come out much differently from this one). Also, I do now turn the bread after half the cooking time and the loaves come out just fine. I've done it about five times now.
After a surprising number of requests from viewers in my Lockdown vlog for me to film a bread-making video, I decided to retrieve such footage from my archives of when I first attempted the process about a year or so ago. There's no quality to this production at all because it was never really intended for wide distribution but so many folk said "just upload anything" that I have. So it's your own fault, really.

David.. that has got to be the best vlog you have ever posted ... you have had me crying with laughter.
We want more please you hear more 😂😂😂👍
Also best video. Laughing so hard crying. Please keep them coming. Thank you
Cruising the crust...
Wold have been better with the sugar!
David can u see Better with ur glasses off.😎this video my me and my wife laff..
Oh, that is so sad and bad LOL
Oh come on, no knead for cheesy puns.
You should do this more often. This is a laughing vlog. Beautiful.
Indeed it's the ongoing commentary that makes this priceless and sooooo much better than all the other cookery/baking videos
As a bread baker, this is one of the funniest videos I’ve seen in ages. Love it!
🤣🤣
ChewingTheCrust 👍
I love this. It’s hilarious. You definitely should have a cooking show.
I will second that.
"Mix, you bugger!" This has to be one of my favourite RUclips quotes...!
Very closely followed by...
"Holey moley mother of burnt!"
David, I don't think you could make a bad episode if you tried. This is gold and you won first prize - an edible loaf! Well done, both on your baking skills and your ability to entertain. Many thanks for the chuckles!
Mate, that should be a blueprint for a new style in videos...
I had so much fun watching this!
What hidden gems are sleeping still on your hard drives?
Let them come, please!
Thx a lot!
:-D
Good time to learn to cook during lockdown. My mother taught me to cook from a young age when boys didn't do cookery (1960's). When my mother died 10 yrs ago my father had never cooked anything, not even a boiled egg, he could even burn salad and started off by living on ham sandwiches and fish & chips. Within a few weeks with a cookbook and with telephone guidance from my sister he became very accomplished in the kitchen. His pastry is to die for and now at the age of 87 makes the most amazingly good food. It's never too late to learn, keep trying!
We had exactly the same in our house, however I learnt from my Nan then my mother.
@Catherine 26 Thank you for reading it and you're welcome :)
Bloody hilarious. Highly entertaining. Immensely watchable. Should be nominated for a BAFTA. Next episode should be 'How I Spread the Jam on my Toast at Breakfast'. Brilliantly insane and funny.
Other narrowboaters may do cooking vlogs, but they know what they're up to. The joy of yours is the grumbling monologue of 'What do they mean by a pinch' comments! I loved this-it was so funny and I was encouraging you out loud the whole time. You did a grand job.
I Kneaded this to day
My ribs hurt from laughter. Your reaction to having that tray and realizing it was doubling in size again was pure gold. "David Tries Something New" would be the greatest show on earth.
Honestly I’dont know why we (viewers) wanted to see you baking a bread, but anyhow it was the most entertaining bread baking I’ve ever seen!!! 😅 Regards from sunny Poland! STAY SAFE!!!
I'm not sure if it was your intention, but this is comedy gold!
"Mix you bugger"........I was rolling on the floor. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hi David, the Mrs and i are long term subscribers, and i have to say thank you for one of the funniest videos we have seen for a long time. keep up the good work, and hope to see you visiting the Llangollen canal soon. kind Regards NB Bluebelle.
Quick fix cooking instructions. 1. Open Window. 2. Throw all cooking ingredients out for ducks. 3. Buy cheese, bread, butter, bacon crumbles and beer. 4. Throw all excess items from stuck drawer in nearest dumpster. 5. Never again fall for dirty cookbook lies.
I tried valiantly not to laugh… or cringe… but I failed at both. Leaving out the sugar is a problem and mixing metric and non-metric measurements kind of made my eyes roll back in my head, but I’m pleased to read that you’ve gotten the hang of it and things are better now. Everybody kind of blows it on their first experiment with bread. Nobody died, so there’s that. Positive thoughts!
This...was the equivalent of watching a “Man Cold” with all the excessive drama, whining and hand tossing of the average male in the kitchen, except when applied to baking bread. Loved every minute of it David! Lots of excellent bread baking how-to videos on RUclips. Thanks for posting this. Much appreciated.
And to think this almost never saw the light of day! Thanks for the laughs, can I say we all needed that.
Hysterical..... “what kind of oil?”... “as if I have a clean tea-towel”. 🤣😂 super fun to watch
Enjoyed the programme
enormously!
David, I stumbled across your channel by accident, as I was intent on trying to lighten the boredom of temporarily working from home and decided to broaden my horizons. Apart from a week-long foray on a narrowboat, around the Oxfordshire area, about 20 years ago, I have had no involvement with canally type things. However, I watched a couple of your later vlogs and have since subscribed and am now working my way through your entire catalogue! Your exploits are, to my mind, compulsive viewing. I love to see the undiscovered (to me, anyway) British countryside, especially at the sedate speeds afforded by Canal cruising and my interest in the day to day trials and tribulations of Canal life has grown immeasurably. Your presentation and narration betters most programmes on TV for quality, content and just down right entertainment value. I'm still giggling from watching this particular video. Good luck and the best of health to you.
Stay safe and continue to enjoy your watery life, but please, also, continue producing your vlogs for the entertainment of those of us who are, by our own choice, more restricted in our lives. Best wishes. Ian.
Thank you!
The minute I heard you had no.sugar, I knew we were in deep trouble!😂
No sugar, no yeast rise.. Poor Bread....
I am so surprised it rose without sugar. Marvellous fun on an isolated cold rainy day. Thank you for a wonderful half hour. Absolutely hilarious!
This is your funniest vlog ever. I laughed thru the whole video..
2 thumbs up
For me, this is the best cooking video that anyone has ever done before. No nice pictures, everything is ready and fits and is prepared and totally simple, no, it shows how it really is. Until you gathered your utensils, how you are totally done when you chain the dough, that you even have to change the T-shirt to the point where you kneel in front of the stove, I laughed tears. Thanks a lot for this.
It may have been easier to pop down to Tesco for a medium slice loaf but it wouldn't have been as much fun 😷. Loved your culinary adventure and thank you for taking us along 🌻🐈🥰
I've just started the video and I'm laughing. It's amazing. I can't see how you didn't post it before. It's breadspectacular
I totally agree
As a person who bakes I found this video hysterical! But you did a good job, next time turn your loaf at like 20 minutes because you're oven temperature is not even.
Michele Brazelton Well said Michelle. David did well all things considered. I admire his tenacity under adversity. The oven definitely has uneven heat. A lower rack position might help. Melted butter in the microwave would have worked.
Already watched this once but needed cheering up so watched it again. Absolutely brilliant and hilarious 😂😂. Believe or not you inspired me to have a go myself and it didn’t look great but tasted delicious so will keep on trying. Keep safe.
David, as a guy who loves to bake bread your video really made me laugh. We have all been down your road, but not sure if we had the light hearted playfulness that you possess to post such a funny and revealing video. Oh please, carry on my friend carry on 😎
May i suggest your community of followers film their reaction to watching this video and upload, i for one am in tears watching this. I never comment on Videos, but felt compelled to do so half way through this - i've followed you since day one David, so now you know. Thanks for lightening my hour.
Hilariously adorable. I can’t stop smiling.
"flour is going too get everywhere.".
My wife and I are dying of laughter here.......
Please post more.
I love the ducks patiently waiting outside the window for you to finish baking and feed them presumably
" a cutlerly knife! ?? Well aren't all knives cutlery knives??."
You're so funny!
Hope to see you on the bake off soon. :)
Oh, David. My cheeks hurt from laughing!
David ! We have sat through this vlog from start to finish and we have been laughing non stop !!! 😂😂😂😂😂. You are hilarious!! We need a lot more of these whilst the Covid 19 restrictions are in force. Honestly better than any comedy we’ve ever seen 🤣🤣. Thanks so very much 😊
Can’t stop laughing! Watching you on your knees, yelling toward the camera had me in a constant giggle. I really needed this today. Thank you!
This is comedy gold! I'm only half way in, but I can't stop laughing. You sir are a natural entertainer.
This was excellent entertainment value. I would certainly have not done any better than you David. Bravo bravo, well done, this deserves to be in your most popular video list.
Hilarious vlog, you should do more of these David.
I'm not sure how the bread will turn out but I haven't stopped laughing 🤣🤣🤣. This video is thoroughly entertaining 👍🏾🎥🍿⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.
😀👍
Absolutely brilliant kamikaze approach, both audio and visual. If you want your own cookery programme you have my vote.👍
The obvious talent before us.Marths Stewart is Soo envious
I enjoy all your videos, so much so that I have gone back to number one, when you first bought your boat, and starting all over again. I am just about to go and put my chickens to bed, get a cup of tea and then relax and enjoy this video. Thank you David for taking the time to make and create such relaxing videos for all of us to enjoy whilst isolated from family and friends. Huge Thank you.
The BEST cooking show ever, I really hope you make another 🤣😂🤣
"Ten minutes of this is going to kill me!!" lolololol
I find most cooking vlogs rather boring. This was very entertaining I really enjoyed it.
Hi David, if you have not gathered yet, your viewing public finds you immensely entertaining no matter what the topic. So if you can keep indulging us, I promise to keep giving you a thumbs up and treasuring your posts. Thank you very much for the time and effort you have put into you your channel for the last three(?) years especially the posts you have made the last couple of weeks as, believe it or not, you provide a moments respite from the moderately grim going on in the world. Dan
Dead serious, do upload whatever you have lying around! You are helping me stay marginally sane, which my terrified quarentine mates appreciate.
That is the most entertaining bread making show I have ever watched, and I have watched a few. You will have to start another channel now - Cutting the Loaf.
Laughed out loud but also shouted at the TV a lot! The reason it didn't taste of anything was because you forgot the sugar! It reacts with the yeast. Even my hubby was giving you advice. Especially over what's a tablespoon and a cutlery knife 🤣🤣🤣
Now I understand your affection for cheese sandwiches ... ;)
BTW, if you decide to make the bread again you might use a timer and turn your bread pan a quarter tun in the oven say once every five minutes or so to negate the fact that the heat isn’t uniform. My guess is that will avoid the burning.
By far one of your best videos. Thanks for such hilarious entertainment. Stay well.
You know, I usually dislike videos that have been sped up, but not yours. Specially this one whilst baking, had me in stitches.
it was like watching basil fawlty having a meltdown in the kitchen, hilarious 😂
Very humourous, my wife couldn't stop laughing, the sped up ducks patrolling in anticipation outside added to the humour
I have never been so entertained by a 'cooking' show/segment, and, as an avid cook, I watch many. You have created an 'everyman' cooking experience......probably without knowing it.
We have watched this vlog 3 times already, not sure whether it is the humour of it all or the skills in unarmed "doughjudo" that you demonstrate when fighting the dough! Please, please, please - more of your cooking!
Haha I like that and of course, it makes me think that martial arts students train in a "dough-jo", don't they?
My husband I were in stitches with this hilarious video ! You are a natural comedian , David !
Dear David this was an absolutely wonderful lesson in how to make bread. Jacques Tati could not have done a better “parody “. I am happy you are not baking and selling bread for your survival. You are the favorite you tuber for many people, adding value and joy to our lives.
May you never stop! 🙏
Hilarious. Sounded a bit like Mork and Mindy on fast forward! 10 out of 10 for effort. More like this please
You need to record cooking on other occasions as you are a funny bloke. Not every time but just occasionally..loved the "why don't you mix...mix you bugger " part right at 12:00 minutes. I laughed and laughed at that till I just about turned purple. It doesn't help I have COPD...just kidding, but I laughed out loud for sure.
This is the best "cooking show" I've ever seen. I love cooking and steer clear of baking bread. I will try again because you did a fabulous job with a pitiful oven. I am so impressed ! Thanks Becky!
Give us this day our daily bread🍞...This had me laughing, more any old tut please 🤣
Rather than use a recipe book, I now find a video of whatever it is that I want to cook and follow along to that.
I might not use this one as a guide, but it is entertaining.
Love your reactions during the process.
John from Australia I fond your show 4 days ago and now on no60 I am enjoying it so much. I always wanted to go on a holiday but to old now.
Originally from Luton 1958 I will keep watching 👍
Steps for "better" results next rime.
1) Rotate the bread every 10 min. in the oven to fix the "un-even" heat.
2) Use a "Tent" of plain tin foil for the first 10 min. Remove for the rest.
3) Use a scraper NOT a knife. Gets the bits off the bowl. ( and the counter ).
4) Remove from the oven a "bit" early and torn on the side to get a "nice" bottom.
5) Add more salt to the flower, before mixing the butter, or salted butter for better taste.
6) REAL BUTTER!
Enjoy,
P.S. Take a small "egg size portion" of the kneaded mixture and fry in a pan to "taste" the mix ( flattened to cook fast ).
Brilliant.!!!! You made me laugh out loud for the first time in weeks. And by the way, when you knead bread dough you should close your eyes and imagine you are kneading a womans soft body, not thump it like its a piece of tough meat. Well thats what I was told. Love your vlogs.
As I continue watching, you have me laughing to tears! I raised 2 sons, have 3 brothers, and two grandsons. They are a barrel of laughs as well when it comes to cooking. You're doing pretty good. I absolutely love your comedic demeanor while cooking❤👍🏼
Sorry, Captain D... despite all your hard work and high production-values on other vids, this is one of the best you have ever done. (Though I note some of the deliberately accentuated comedy and judicious fast-forwarding (with sound) worked very well - so not without performing and editing work). Very very funny - though a talkie (!), it reminded me of Eric Sykes's and Tommy Cooper's "Plank" film - that sort of well-meaning incompetence made into fine comedy. If there were a You-Tube award for comedy vids, I would certainly nominate this. Excellent and very cheering in sad times - Thank you so much :) Take care and stay safe.
I could not stop giggling watching you knead the dough...bit like a Swedish massage😉
Came out good in the end tho. Fresh baked bread and butter Mmm👍🍞
Dear David, my wife and I have been watching your video's for over a year now. I am quite pleased to see this one, as you clearly cook like me. My wife however is a trained chef, so I manage not to starve. The look of horror on her face when you measured the yeast and ended it with "near enough" has made my day. Returning to the video now. :)
Your video has a very high entertainment value and it reminded me about my first attempts at cooking. I invent my own dishes now.
Hi David, how are things with you? Have just had a visit from my aunt who is 75 years old. We have been telling her about you and your narrow boat. Showed her today the first video you did showing your boat. She was fascinated that you can live in such a small space. She loved the not a vlog and we are going to have a David canal afternoon, once we move house. I love this video of you baking bread. So did she. We have had a wonderful morning laughing and talking to you. More accurately, talking to the TV. She was giving you cooking advice because she is just like us and converses with the TV. Thanks again for sharing so much of yourself with us. Aunty Kathy is now a fan. Cheers. Keep safe.
Hello Aunt Kathy!
Excellent dramatic comedy!!! Particularly liked the scene when you were on all fours, looking into the oven.
Absolute scream. I don't think you are ready for a Michelin star just yet but you certainly brightened my day
This is your best video yet!!! I rather enjoyed (and agree) with your bent on tablespoons
Just stumbled across your cooking video and I must say it was both educational and amusing, personally if I found a RUclips channel solely cooking in your style I'd subscribe instantly , well done you 👍
Haha I don't think I could cope with that much cooking!!
Pmsl! You are having a Victor Meldrew moment in that kitchen my lovely 😊 you are so funny 😂 and I love your humour. You cheered me up xxx huge hugs and stay safe 😘
I am thanking your lucky stars that when it said "lightly oil the bowl" you didn't have a gallon of Duckhams 20/50 oil near the engine. Great video though.
what's the 20/50 thing?
Sam Sitar motor oil.
@@SamSitar 20/50 was, I'm guessing, a reference to oil weights. 20w-50 would be another way to put it. You've probably seen 10w-30 or 0w-20 before, same idea.
Lol!!! well done that was hilarious, tears rolling, you have such a way with words.
It seems you were truly prescient in making this wonderfully off-beat video, then saving it; from the comments, you gave a lot of people a badly needed laugh in a really stressful time.
Good show!
My suggestion for future baking, turn what your baking half way through
That was hilarious! Thanks for making lockdown a bit more bearable!
Love this vlog,I laughed all the way through .But well done for having a go. As with everything practice practice practice.
Lol ! 😆 very high comedy element to this one. "I don't cook" - you're right, but well done for trying and giving us a laugh!
Nice texture, I’d say a good result
@@sallyutting Agreed. TBH, the folded texture, excepting 'darker' bits was something I aspire to achieve!!
This was some quality content to be fair. Thoroughly enjoyed the last 25 mins or so watching this
😂😂😂😂😂 You are a natural comedian.
David. This was one of my favorite vids yet. You did a great job. Cheers. Stay well
its just occurred to me like a week later but you should have called this crusting the cut
David, one of the funniest vlogs I've seen in a long time, laughed out loud even, the rants were hilarious. Keep it going, you're making this lock down period more do'able. Thanks and take care.....
David that was far more entertaining than you think. Watching you try and read those instructions on the tin remind me of my swearing at package I structions for being so small. Your loaf was properly done. You need a better oven if you really want to bake. Thank you for this. Quite enjoyed it.
i liked this video, it's a bit different. you should do more of those cooking video's.
Definitely. For a first time baker, this worked out really well.
Cause he so good at it lol
The best laugh I've had in days!
Missouri USA
I have enough trouble making bread on a full-size oven, much less an oven the size of my daughter's’ easy back oven. P.S. I m a recent follower of your exploits, and with all the free time I seem to have these days. I have chosen to take my time machine all the way back to episode 1 and fallow your adventures in chronological order. If your ever in California, I will treat you to a Bar-B-Q.
Very nice, indeed. Now it just needs a little bit of butter and some nice, thick cut orange marmalade. Or, of course, a matured cheddar.
And thank you so much for providing us all with good entertainment in these lonely quarantimes
Make a mental note that in the future any baked goods need to be turned 180° halfway through the cooking cycle
I think I laughed more while watching your bread making journey than while watching some sitcoms 😂😂. More cooking adventures would be great 👍
