Thanks very much Jack. As usual, another fine example of your "tell me and I learn, SHOW me and I remember" philosophy that you've recorded for posterity. The value of a commentary-accompanied demonstration is priceless for we novices. It's SO reassuring to see the process, accompanied by a description of what you're feeling as you move along the steps. As a backup resource to accompany the workshops that you deliver in Victoria's Kitchen; in people's homes and places of work; and the demonstrations at food fairs and the like, these video presentations are skilful, slick, and REPLAYABLE. Like having Bake With Jack on tap! What could be better or nicer? With kind regards. Roy.
Absolutely brilliant approach in this video. This one is like standing next to Jack while he works. Working the dough first then adding that yellow stuff, poking it in, no worries when the yellow stuff starts to come back out of the dough, continuing until you get it all back in. You've out done yourself with this video session. No one does it better Jack. Just what the hell is 'butt uh'?
I watched this video AFTER I had already made a brioche last weekend by hand, and I just guessed at the right way to do this. As it turns out, I did it the way you do! Lucky! Only thing I didn't do was dimple the soft butter in so I learned something. Thanks, Jack!
Hi Jack, thanks for the video. I've only joined 6 weeks ago, but I made some good tasting breads already. Both yeasted and sourdough. I'm getting some grasp on the bread making principes, thanks for that too! Can you give us the recipe for the enriched dough? Or point us to where we can find it?
Omg I’ve never used my kitchen aid that my husband won at work but that I really wanted 😂🤷🏽♀️ But I have a pet peeve that one should always learn the manual way just in case you don’t have your gadgets on hand. Gonna try this before school starts in May.
Enriched doughs are where I declare hand kneading to be for the birds and break out the stand mixer. The brioche recipe I use is the one from _Mastering the Art of French Cooking_ by Child, Beck & Bertholle which takes 2 days and is absurdly tedious… but… is _wonderful_ and if you follow the instructions turns out perfectly every time.
awesome channel you got. i stumbled into this cuz i love breads and have been teaching myself how to bake different breads simply by throwing things together and seeding what i end up with. sometimes i use yeast sometimes i dont, i always play with ingredients. i few times i actually put ketchup in a bread cuz i used yeast once and did not have any sugar to add to help the yeast so figured the ketchup would take the place of the sugar and i am a ketchup lover so i figured what do i have to lose? lol, it actually did not turn out to bad and will try that again after perfect my bread skills a bit. i frequently add different spices to it to see what happens. i found out that liquid smoke in bread dont taste that great. now I'm at the point where i want to learn the finer points of making nice risen breads and learn related skills and maybe pick up new actual recipe ideas. love the scrapper you got, i need to look around for that. ... keep up the good work
Love your videos and teaching technique. I've been away for awhile catching up with tech so I have a lot of catching up to do here. Thanks for sharing, you are amazing.
Hi Jack! Enjoying your videos 😍 On brioche dough, I found that it's hard to roll and shape as the dough is too soft with that much butter. Especially when I want to braid the dough. You've got any tips or advice? Thanks!
Re the editing of videos, I use Adobe premiere Pro, bit expensive and it took me ages to learn how to use it but I really Ike it now. Re the music I use RUclips audio library and make sure that I only use music that doesn't require acknowledging the artist. Lately I've been creating an unique intro for each video using very short clips of the video to try to create a 30-45 second intro, that tells the story of the upcoming video. Not sure if that's useful to you? Great video as usual btw
Hi 👋🏽 Jack, Thank you for your special content. I’ve searched your RUclips channel and it seems that I can’t find the Brioche recipe. Can you please help me with it? Also what was the final result for the Brioche in the above video? Thanks, I’ve learnt a lot from you.
Excellent video Jack. Do you use real salted butter or a spreadable for convenience? I've found that real butter gives much better pastries and roux for sauces as most spreadables (eg Bertolli) contain too much water. A suggestion for your fan club members - as I don’t do a lot of baking now, I’ve found a butter that outstrips the best before dates by far of most others: Waitrose Guernsey, salted butter it can last for months in the fridge. Another question for you Jack; have you got teflon coated hands? Whenever I handle dough mine get all stuck up and I'm constantly scraping them.
I make my own butter, but even if shop bought I prefer to use non-salted in baking or cooking or it affects the recipe. I also wondered about the clean hands in both Jack and Bertinet's videos, but Jack addressed this with another video where he talks about cleaning up the mess, a great tip to dust hands with flour to remove sticky dough, before placing in water.
I was just having trouble incorporating the butter into my brioche, and this video shows up on my front page. I added all the butter at once, so they dough really isn't kneadable. Guess I have to keep trying...
Loving your short, to the point, videos. My question is, how do you make sourdough croissants? Couldn't find a video from you on this, so, if you've done one please point me in the right direction. Keep on rolling x
i just put the soft butter in and lightly mix it before kneading and let it rest a few minutes, it's usualy less messy. i'd like to know what you believe is the downside of this technique :)
Hiya, Thanks for a great video! I'm just beginning to try to get to terms with enriched doughs and some recipes suggest that rubbing in the butter to the flour to begin, some just add it along with everything else, and this suggests adding it at the end - what difference do these methods make to the final product?
I've always wondered why you have to go through this process. I'm assuming melting the butter and mixing at the dry stage doesn't work or everyone would do it. What is the reason for that? Why do you have to work it in as a solid?
Fat shortens gluten strands. Therefore, you have to mix all the other ingredients first to develop those strands. If you add the butter early in the mix you won't get good gluten development.
Same question as well. I do burger buns with melted butter mixed with mashed potatoes before adding bread flour. Works wonderful but I don't know if it's technically a brioche...
I even have myself one trick to mix butter in a dough perfectly. I mix all liquids with the butter, and I had flour until a cake batter consistency. I give a whisk until it's smooth and I add the rest of the flour to have my dough. But I don't have the answer to my question. Why are they putting butter after making a first dough ? :'(
Because there is so much butter, I’d like to develope the gluten really well in the moisture of the liquid instead of coating some of the flour with melted butter if that makes sense... 👌🏻
Jack! I just saw something and wanted your take because it's on your never do list. Can you put flour down when you knead if it's part of the total amount of flour that was supposed to be in the recipe originally?
In theory yes but why? Then your dough will be too wet and you’ll need to add the flour to stop it sticking, then the flour will be incorporated and you’ll be back to square one after a messy beginning 👌🏻
I'm assuming the "why" is because you weren't paying close enough attention when you were measuring out ingredients and you realized too late (after mixing the dough but before kneading) that you included less flour than the recipe calls for. And you know exactly how much you under-added. Not that I speak from experience or anything. 😂
Why wont u use melted butter and mix it together with the eggs at the start? It sounds less tedious than putting in warm solid butter bit by bit! Is there a difference?
It is possible, some people do it, I’ve never tested the difference but I feel like it will be better incorporated soft and the gluten will develop in the dough better 👌🏻
Is there any difference between melting the butter beforehand and mixing it with the flour and other dry ingredients, instead of adding the softened butter to the dough?
@@psvradamlevine6215 Just try it and see what happens. I usually mix melted butter into the dough when making buns. I don't know if it technically counts as brioche - but I like it.
@@HussiAli123 i dont stop kneading but not only does it tear, the dough gets hard and wont combine Thanks for your input. Can you figure this one out too?
@@Strandlights maybe there isnt enough water? It could be that you are using a stand mixer and over kneading. Or it could be that you are adding in too much butter at the same time. Hope you are having a good day
this is my nightmare. i love homemade brioche but incorporating butter is just too damn long and annoying. And i'm french, so my butter/flour ratio is up there (500g butter for 1000g flour).
I've always melted my butter and mixed it in with milk/egg yolks and I've never had that sweating problem. The butter / flour ratio was the same as used in the video. Maybe this only becomes a problem with too much butter or when it's too warm?
Honey, you really should take off your ring with making dough. Jewelry is known to be receding ground for germs. Yeah. Really. Take it off mate. Maybe it’s your wedding ring- even so...:)
Haha. Love you. You are though. You’re like too handsome. Haha. I watch your videos for your tutorials- they’re actually pretty good(sometimes too loud but who isn’t?) I learn so much. Thank you!!! But sometimes I can’t look at your face. Haha. Too cute, honey. ❤️❤️🌈🌈😀😀

Hi Jack, do you have a brioche recipe you could share please?
Many thanks
Loved watching you work that dough. I now know I am too rough and will try to be more gentle. Thanks so much
I like that u contain the butter inside the bowl. I’ll follow suit. U r the champ‼️ thank u
I sometimes add all the butter at once and too early. Sounds so simple when u get the right tips. Thanks jack👌
I am envious of your work surface... i am always winging it in my kitchen.

Thanks. I’ll try it.
Hi chef can u give me the Brioche recepi plz thanks it's look. Very yummy
Is it possible if the butter is melted and mix with the water, then knead. Will that ruin the dough?
It is possible, some people do it, I’ve never tested the difference but I feel like it will be better incorporated soft and the gluten will develop in the dough better 👌🏻
how much yeast are you using per Ib, or 1/2 kg. tea spoon or table spoon per measure?
I've done it like this and also used melted butter and haven't found any difference. I just melt the butter now.
Will margarine work on this?
why add the bulk of the butter AFTER and not before like the first knob of butter?
Cam I have the full recipe for this brioche?
