I recall an episode where Julia was constantly stirring a sauce on the stove. She said that it needed to be stirred constantly. Then she said that, while stirring you happen to see your baby on the windowsill getting ready to fall out; let him fall!
@@EpicCoffeeCat Julia never had children, but according to a book written about her life, she and her husband tried very hard to have one, but she was unable to conceive and became very depressed for a period due to her inability to conceive a child. But the posters comment does seem like something Julia Child would have said!
doesn't fat or faint hearted just mean.......there will be a lot of fat in this recipe? so if you don't like fat turn away?? I think this was missed on.....well everyone.
@@qrexpand6775 No, 'fat or faint hearted' means exactly that, not for the fat, and not for the faint-hearted, aka cowardly. "If you are a coward or fat, stay away."
@@BioYuGi I still don't think so. When you use the expression, "not for the faint of hearted" it does not literally mean someone with a weak heart. It means hey this thing will be tense, gross, or scary. The same would apply here with this saying "not for the fat of hearted" would not mean literally someone who is fat. It would mean hey this thing has alot of fat
Oh,you broke it on purpose! You could have taken a couple spatulas and slid them under the ring….but,yes! Baking on the paper is easier. Unless,when baked,it sticks….I’ll have to finish the video to see. Thank you.
Julia: "3lbs of butter and puff pastry with creme filling and glaze on top of frosting and buttercream sauce; An elegant and light brunch" Also Julia: "Homemade brioche roll with raisin filling, Not for fatties!"
The French can indulge in rich foods thanks to all the smoking. I don't think I've seen a single French film where every character wasn't puffing away at every free moment.
Jamie, as a former professional baker, please flour your surfaces better! Especially because you dont have a large wooden surface but a hard, non-porous surface. It does not wick moisture from the dough for easier handling. Heavier flour will save you a lot of heartache. When rolling this dough, it's exactly like a cinnamon roll. Don't use parchment or tinfoil, just a floured surface, and start all along the edges of the rectangle to curl the edge under, then light stretch the dough as you roll it up. Use a bit of water or egg wash to seal the edge. Lastly, err on the side of using more dough and not rolling it so thin. You can always cut the excess away, but it's hard to handle thinly rolled dough. That said, your videos are always entertaining, and I do love the chaos of your process. From one Canadian to another, good luck!
I would also add he needs to lightly grease his proofing bowls to get more dough out. I noticed there was a lot sticking to the metal, even when using a silicone scraper to pull it out.
I yelled 'more flour' at the screen too. But I wonder if putting more flour down affects the taste?.... Course that's still better than having it stuck to the counter.c
"Always remember: If you're alone in the kitchen and you drop the lamb, you can always just pick it up. Who's going to know?" - Julia Child. In this case, it's the freshly cut slice of coffee cake...The 10 second rule works at our house, too. Nice recovery, Jamie. You didn't miss a beat.
As a germaphobe who lives in a house with people who wear their nasty shoes inside and they never clean or sanitize, as well as me having two cats who walk on the floor with paws that step in their litterbox, I'm not eating floor food if it can't be washed with soap. 😂
@@englishatheartI mean, I'm not a germaphobe and I also wouldn't in those circumstances. I love animals but they step in all kinds of things and track it in. But I don't have pets rn and live alone so, 10sec rule it is. 😊
When he lightly floured the counter, I laughed out loud. The poor counter had once heard a rumor of flour! 😂 you can use more! And if your bread dough is that loose you can add more flour to it, as he did. Adventures in baking. I once baked along to a season of Great British Baking show and learned so much. Love this channel.
@bubblegumplastic yes I only did the recipes that they all had to make, the technicals, not the individual recipes or the showstoppers❤ it was so fun.
Back in the 80s, I was given a food processor for a bridal shower. The brand name was “le machine”. It lasted longer than the starter marriage I approve of this name :)
Mace is the outer covering of nutmeg removed and normally sold in blades for infusion and ground for inclusion into recipes like this. It's a little similar to nutmeg but a bit sharper.
@bubblegumplastic If you look in recipes if the recipe requires mace for infusion it asks for a "blade" of mace. This is the outside skin/shell of the nutmeg, cut into sections like when you vut the peel of an orange in 6. These are the "blades".
As I watched him add mace to the dough, and then the filling, I thought to myself: Is he sure he wants to add that much? I know he was just following the recipe, but mace has such a strong flavour.
I think the flour with chopping the raisins is to coat the insides you reveal with flour so it'll prevent them from clumping up. That way you'll get a more even dispersal of them.
I love seeing you improvise now! Being able to know to wet the seam and just bake it on the parchment shows so much growth in knowledge! You should be proud of yourself.
i love your videos so much. i secretly love when you drop/break/destroy things..but what i really love is seeing how much you've improved - your instincts are great - when julia gives you nothing you figure out that something isnt right and now you know what you can do about it - egg wash! glaze! no problem! great job!
Brioche dough is the thing that made me buy a stand mixer. I just couldn’t deal with trying to do that by hand again and literally covering every surface in my kitchen with brioche sticky pieces and residue.
Domestic stand mixers are nothing like commercial mixers and will fail quickly making bread doughs. Leaving you with $699 paperweight. A Cuisinart is somewhat better. Modern no-knead/min-knead technique is really the best solution.
Like the time he made something from "Beef Trimmings" (how you not eat all your beef?) and then proceeded: TO TRIM the final product! He had Beef Trimmings TRIMMINGS in the fridge for a rainy day.
For the stickier doughs, the trick is to add a little bit of oil to the surface your working on. Adding more flour does work but it's more hassle and can change the dough consistancy too much. Just a tip from a friendly professional neighbourhood baker ! Also grease your bowls.
I don't HATE "The Machine", it's fine, but just a little on the nose. If you ask me, "Steve" is by FAR the best food processor nickname you've come up with yet. That gets my vote!
The fact that Julia's recipe calls for making a double batch of dough almost feels like a future prophecy for James (and other cooks trying the recipe) that they'll probably fail on their first try
@@bytchesagainstbullshyt3696 Actually, at the time, the Red Scare was in full swing and so no-one was "speaking truth" for fear of getting blacklisted as a commie. Why is it that ignorant people are always going on about how everyone in the past would have totally agreed with their crap views?
Mace is what's called an aril, an extra covering for seeds. It comes from the fruit of the tree Myristica fragans, or true nutmeg. The seed is what we normally used as spice.
Icing is thin and usually is made with milk or water. Frosting is thick and usually made with fat or something with a lot of fat like butter or cream cheese. There's some other technical stuff, but this is a general description.
though in British English we tend not to use the term frosting at all - so we refer to things specifically as "water icing", "buttercream icing", "cream cheese icing" etc.
I discovered working with high hydration bread doughs it is recommended to work with wet or oiled hands. Not a pro baker, but I bought a 50 pound bag of bread flour and proceeded to learn to bake bread the first year of COVID. I baked bread every week and by the end, the most bread products I made in one weekend was a double batch of English Muffins, a batch of Everything Bagels, Loaf of White Sandwich bread and Sourdough Artisan Loaf. Also, instant yeast freezes for up to a year and you don't even have to thaw it when you use it. Just keep it in the freezer. I buy mine by the pound.
I love that other than the vanilla incident and the tablespoon situation, the most controversial thing about this show is the food processor's pet name
An apricot glaze would be amazing on this. Also, I'd maybe swap the corn syrup for honey. And maybe cut the golden raisins in half (or out entirely) and replace that amount with dates.
LOL, you’re killing me. As a retired baker watching all your mishaps makes me laugh. BTW, only a Canadian would say thank you after they’ve been bowled
Perfect timing - I was scrolling through the Jamie and Julia play list to discover, much to my chargrin, I had watched them all! Merci beaucoup Jamie, you have brightened my day 😄 PS: Steve x 1, The Machine × 0 (for what it's worth 👍🏼)
When your dough gets stuck like that and youve backed yourself into a corner, try to invert the recipe onto a pan before giving up. Especially since ingredients are too expensive these days.You can still make the other one for the final version. To invert the cake take a pan/cutting board place onto of the cake and flip. Now since the seems are facing up take the pan you want to bake the cake on and place it on top and flip one more time. (Of course after you seal those edges properly) I comnend you for not giving up. It loiked really good. You should be really proud of how far you've come in your journey with grit and determination. Well done sir.
You broke my heart (although the coffee cake looks amazing). On the opposite leaf of the page you showed to the camera is Julia's sticky buns recipe, which I've made a bunch of times. I wish you had made the sticky buns recipe because 1) it's amazing and 2) I would have loved to have seen you tackle that recipe. Oh well, maybe a future show?
The flour for your raisins, or any fruit used in bread, is for coating so that while mixed in and baking, they don’t gravitate towards the bottom, staying suspended throughout the dough
Thank you so much for this channel I am a Canadian myself and I have been following up this channel for a month or so yet I have learned a lot.. especially not to give up when you fail. So thank you so much for creating this channel. My friends even said my cooking skills have improved lately. So thanks a lot
I mean, to someone who doesn't drink coffee, its a safe assumption. It would be like calling something that you eat WITH a tomato, tomato sauce, but it has no tomatoes in it.
i think i'm gonna name my food processor steve, too. whenever i'm transcribing recipes, i'm not happy writing out "food processor" or "cuisinart". your channel is brilliant, jamie. thanks.
Jamie. thanks again for another entertaining video. When I was in my early 30s in the 1990s my wife bought me the two volumes set. Julia Childs, the art of French cooking. At that time, I was kind of determined a little bit like you have tried to do the recipes. I failed miserably. I gave up! Being a full time chef at the time, plus running a catering business and having a full family of three kids. I didn't have any hobby time to enjoy cooking the way I do now. Watching your videos brings back great memories and great failures. Thank you.
I think my favorite viewer-suggested name was Whizzy Miss Lizzy, but The Machine is pretty good too. Fun fact, mace - basically nutmeg husks - really _does_ have some relation to the defense spray, if distantly. The spice is named for the fact that a nutmeg still on the tree with the husk intact looks like a medieval mace, and the tear gas brand is named for the fact that it smacks you in the face like a mace.
Icing is liquid, glaze is even more liquid, and frosting is fluffy. Cinnamon rolls are iced! Love your baking videos the most 😋 Your stuff looks so yummy, even when it isn't perfect or ... Well, falls on the floor
I vote for Steve The Machine! Thank you so much for your hardwork and dedication on your channel, Jamie. Your emotional roller-coaster ride in the kitchen is very relatable. Keep up the great work!
You did it again, Jamie! Funny as hell today. A name for the food processor will eventually stick. I'm leaning toward Steve, only because it was in an instant of inspiration you said that name and pointed at it.
This episode had me laughing so hard I scared my pup. I am so, so glad I found your channel. Keep up the brilliant hilarity; it makes me want to get back into the kitchen!
Год назад+3
When I was a child I used to go to a nearby bakery that sold something like this but with added bits of ricotta. It tasted amazing and went great with afternoon tea or coffee.
Watching this with my morning coffee and lamenting the fact that I'm too fat to enjoy this cake and therefore have no reason to make it. On the other hand, I'm also trying to think if anyone's birthday is coming up in my friend circle so I have an excuse to fiddle around with some brioche. Great job, Jamie!
My grandmother made a similar bread but the bread was thicker between the filling like a cinnamon bun (I would have just used all the dough you made in an 18" rectangle to make it thicker) and she used orange glaze on top.
When I read the "politically incorrect cake" I thought about the "tête de n*gre", literally "n*gger's head" which was a dessert sold in french bakeries. It's still available today but most bakeries have renamed it either "chocolate head" or "choco-ball". But some people probably still call it by the old name XD
In reference to ‘the machine’ or ‘Steve’, I mentioned a name last time I commented but I didn’t give you my reasoning for it. So in the professional kitchens (I’m a chef btw) when we use a processor, we say we’re going to ‘blitz’ whatever it is we’re throwing in there so I suggested Blitzen. That’s just my two cents and since I’m a fellow Canadian I thought I’d throw my idea into the ring. 👍🇨🇦👍 Big hello from Campbell River BC, (Vancouver Island). You’re doing a great job kiddo, keep it up! Love your videos!
I actually really like the food processor being Steve. Just a simple name for a hard working apparatus, but The Machine is really metal and also a good choice.
Mace is part of Nutmeg. It’s the red “web like” covering on the nutmeg. Not sure if nutmeg is a fruit or a seed. That turned out wonderful! I love how you are making this recipe your own with the egg wash and glaze!! That coffee cake was was one of the first of Julia’s recipes that doesn’t ooze with butter! Probably the least fattening of all you’ve tried!!!! Well done Jamie!
I recall an episode where Julia was constantly stirring a sauce on the stove. She said that it needed to be stirred constantly. Then she said that, while stirring you happen to see your baby on the windowsill getting ready to fall out; let him fall!
Closing your windows to keep babies from falling out is probably part of mise en place.
The sauce is your baby now.
Sounds about right

Plus using the slap and fold method for wet dough. For wet dough I find that keeping my hands constantly wet with water stops sticking
Also chill high fat doughs in the fridge for 20-30mins, the fats will firm up and make it stick way less and easier to handle.

Mace is the outer covering of nutmeg removed and normally sold in blades for infusion and ground for inclusion into recipes like this. It's a little similar to nutmeg but a bit sharper.
Definitely, as its mostly used in savoury and charcuterie recipes, to cut through the richness.
I put mace on my kebobs
Sold in blades? What does that mean
@bubblegumplastic If you look in recipes if the recipe requires mace for infusion it asks for a "blade" of mace. This is the outside skin/shell of the nutmeg, cut into sections like when you vut the peel of an orange in 6. These are the "blades".

I think the flour with chopping the raisins is to coat the insides you reveal with flour so it'll prevent them from clumping up. That way you'll get a more even dispersal of them.
Dusting stops them from sinking in a wet dough, the dry becomes sticky when introduced and ties the dough to the fruit.
It's almost like he can't hear us shouting at the screen, but I can't stop myself from doing it like a crazy person.🤣
I love seeing you improvise now! Being able to know to wet the seam and just bake it on the parchment shows so much growth in knowledge! You should be proud of yourself.

@@gerardacronin334 me too.
Apricot jam (warmed up, solids taken out) also makes a great, low effort glaze
I remember a documentary where bakers showed that they used an apricot syrup to glaze their tarts to keep them nice looking for a long time ^^
That’s what I would have done too.
Jamie joked that he’d made that apricot glaze a lot because of Julia’s recipes

Oh wow. I didn't know that was a thing. Coffee cake having coffee in it!😂 Not sure I could continue to respect my partner's intelligence after that...
But coffee ice cream does
coffee cake is either cake with coffee in it, *or* cake you eat with coffee... I thought.
I mean, to someone who doesn't drink coffee, its a safe assumption. It would be like calling something that you eat WITH a tomato, tomato sauce, but it has no tomatoes in it.
❤️😃
Glad you were able to reuse the filling and that you had a brioche stand-in.
I just want to say, the metric and Celsius folk appreciate you! 😄
Love it. Steve is perfect. Glad to meet you, Steve
i think i'm gonna name my food processor steve, too. whenever i'm transcribing recipes, i'm not happy writing out "food processor" or "cuisinart". your channel is brilliant, jamie. thanks.
This channel got me thru so many challenging chapters and keeps me smiling 😂❤ i love it here
Jamie. thanks again for another entertaining video. When I was in my early 30s in the 1990s my wife bought me the two volumes set. Julia Childs, the art of French cooking. At that time, I was kind of determined a little bit like you have tried to do the recipes. I failed miserably. I gave up! Being a full time chef at the time, plus running a catering business and having a full family of three kids. I didn't have any hobby time to enjoy cooking the way I do now. Watching your videos brings back great memories and great failures. Thank you.
I think my favorite viewer-suggested name was Whizzy Miss Lizzy, but The Machine is pretty good too. Fun fact, mace - basically nutmeg husks - really _does_ have some relation to the defense spray, if distantly. The spice is named for the fact that a nutmeg still on the tree with the husk intact looks like a medieval mace, and the tear gas brand is named for the fact that it smacks you in the face like a mace.
Icing is liquid, glaze is even more liquid, and frosting is fluffy. Cinnamon rolls are iced!
Love your baking videos the most 😋 Your stuff looks so yummy, even when it isn't perfect or ... Well, falls on the floor
Jamie, brush some butter on top when it comes out of the oven will give you that sheen. Great problem solving with the parchment paper!!!!
Please get ur own show!! Ur freaking awesome! I hate cooking shows, but I absolutely love watching you! I watch because of you, the food is a plus!😊
I have to admit, when the cake took a tumble, I couldn't help but 🤣🤣🤣. Jamie, you're the best. ❤
I vote for Steve The Machine! Thank you so much for your hardwork and dedication on your channel, Jamie. Your emotional roller-coaster ride in the kitchen is very relatable. Keep up the great work!
He looks like Steve 😂 plus that’s how the best nicknames are made-in the moment and no effort 👏🏼
It's true. If you have to work at it, it's never gonna be the best nickname. Plus, come on. He's totally a Steve!
I started watching your videos a few weeks ago, and I really enjoy them.
Steve! I love it!
You did it again, Jamie! Funny as hell today. A name for the food processor will eventually stick. I'm leaning toward Steve, only because it was in an instant of inspiration you said that name and pointed at it.
I’m so proud! What problem solving! What progress!
Basic Italian glaze uses lemon juice instead of water. But that might’ve been too lemony?
I like just calling it 'The Machine' it sounds so menacing XD love it.
Mace is the outer coating of the nutmeg. It's very aromatic, similar to nutmeg, and it goes well with other warm sweet spices like cinnamon.
This episode had me laughing so hard I scared my pup. I am so, so glad I found your channel. Keep up the brilliant hilarity; it makes me want to get back into the kitchen!
When I was a child I used to go to a nearby bakery that sold something like this but with added bits of ricotta. It tasted amazing and went great with afternoon tea or coffee.
Watching this with my morning coffee and lamenting the fact that I'm too fat to enjoy this cake and therefore have no reason to make it. On the other hand, I'm also trying to think if anyone's birthday is coming up in my friend circle so I have an excuse to fiddle around with some brioche. Great job, Jamie!
I'm loving Steve. All in favor of naming the food processor Steve?
Steve for sure. My friend Lucy has a Nissan NV2000 work van with the extended roof cap. He’s very homely with a big schnoz. We call him Frank.
My grandmother made a similar bread but the bread was thicker between the filling like a cinnamon bun (I would have just used all the dough you made in an 18" rectangle to make it thicker) and she used orange glaze on top.
Steve The Machine!!! 🤘 *insert guitar solo*
Yep, that’s Steve 👍
You make great background music choices on all your videos. Thanks.
When I read the "politically incorrect cake" I thought about the "tête de n*gre", literally "n*gger's head" which was a dessert sold in french bakeries. It's still available today but most bakeries have renamed it either "chocolate head" or "choco-ball". But some people probably still call it by the old name XD
Oh wow. That name is disturbing.
I absolutely love this guy ! He's more entertaining than 90% of the sitcoms airing today. He's so much fun I forgot I was supposed to be cooking 🤭
Prediction: Overwhelming support for "Steve".
An apricot jam glaze would have worked well on this too. I’m glad you put the second one the parchment. I use that in most of my pastry bakes.
The food dude 😎 All hail Steve
Jamie, I liked "The Machine" as a nickname. some might not, but I do. You should keep it. Good stuff and keep up the good content.
I love Steve the food processor!!!
In reference to ‘the machine’ or ‘Steve’, I mentioned a name last time I commented but I didn’t give you my reasoning for it. So in the professional kitchens (I’m a chef btw) when we use a processor, we say we’re going to ‘blitz’ whatever it is we’re throwing in there so I suggested Blitzen. That’s just my two cents and since I’m a fellow Canadian I thought I’d throw my idea into the ring. 👍🇨🇦👍 Big hello from Campbell River BC, (Vancouver Island). You’re doing a great job kiddo, keep it up! Love your videos!
This makes brioche seem much more approachable and less intimidating than it is in my head.
(The hair is on point here!)
STEVE!! It's perfect. You should've just suggested that first! lol thanks for another great video 😊💕
12:57 ::quietly dies inside::
Omg what a turn for the worst 🙀 Was not expecting that! But u handled it like a champ ✨
I remember another of her comments being 'don't even think of making this if you are on one of those hideous diets'
I actually really like the food processor being Steve. Just a simple name for a hard working apparatus, but The Machine is really metal and also a good choice.
You always make me laugh! Appreciate your work, thank you!
Forgot about that strawberry episode. That was funny looking back. I think this cake finally turned out better looking than Julia’s.
Welcome to the family, Steve!
I definitely vote for “The Machine “ . Love the videos. I’ve watched you grow over the years and it encouraged me to try new things too. ❤
"The Machine" is an acceptable nickname for Steve.
'Steve the machine', sound great!
Look at you go, cooking on the fly...on purpose! Good job! The glaze was absolutly needed.
Mace is part of Nutmeg. It’s the red “web like” covering on the nutmeg. Not sure if nutmeg is a fruit or a seed. That turned out wonderful! I love how you are making this recipe your own with the egg wash and glaze!! That coffee cake was was one of the first of Julia’s recipes that doesn’t ooze with butter! Probably the least fattening of all you’ve tried!!!! Well done Jamie!
A nutmeg is a seed.
I think Steve is the perfekt name for the food processor! 🥰🥰
these videos are SO entertaining!!
