Please protect Erin at all cost! I love her so much she’s an amazing teacher! Also as someone who uses English as a second language, I’m surprised I can understand every single word she says without subtitles. She makes everything so easy to understand!
Thank you Erin for sharing your knowhow in such an understanding way. I'm good w bread dough...but used to have a true fear of piecrust, that I no longer have since I've found your videos. Your concise and simple way of explaining every step and more has brought me clarity. Thx bunches.💕
erins videos are the ones i watch when i want to relax. no misinformation, no bullshit or unnecessary obnoxious flair for youtube likes. just pure passion for her craft and a wealth of knowledge.
Erin is A+++. She is knowledgeable, comfortable in front of the camera, an excellent instructor and pure inspiration. The result is that she gives viewers confidence.
She doesnt even know what the actual difference of the yeasts are. Active dry is the bottom of the barrel trash. Instant is actually better. More modern drying process.
@@Michellee970 I wouldnt want her explaining baking in the first place. Would you let someone change your car oil if they didn't know what the difference in the oils are?
I am in “heaven”. I have made about 10 loaves of bread this past year. I had success with just 3 loaves. The type of bread was the infamous no knead 18 hour bread. I wanted to try something else and ciabatta and brioche breads were at the top of my list.Thanks for the many things I learned from this discussion. I am sure I will remember much more about this “science “ when I buy your book. Thanks very much.
0h my gawd, 5 seconds in and I just have to stop and say thank you! No one else is spending 50+ minutes on THE singularly hot topic during the current quarantine. Thank you, thank you, thank you. And now back to the show.
I’m a home baker and have been baking for several years. I love content like this. There’s ALWAYS more to learn about the most modest ingredients. Thanks for this little masterclass in the basics! Keep it up!
Perfectly explained. Most bakers tend to go about making bread as though the audience already knows much of what they’re doing... which is NOT the case for a large portion of viewers.
Erin, I just think you are the bees knees! Your energy is so positive and calming and I love how you explain the science and the reasons behind your techniques. You certainly know what you're doing; you're incredibly knowledgable without being the least bit pretentious about it, and you make baking seem so fun and approachable. Thank you for sharing your wonderful personality and exceptional know-how with us!
Vivían Rojas I love her. I just made her puffy pastry ie rough pastry and everyone/family and neighbors are still raving about it during Covid 19 I made them happy. What can l say she is fantastic lol
EXCELLENT JOB!!! Thank you for so much info!!!! So STINKIN excited to get baking!!! Erin is a wonderful teacher that seems so encouraging and gives us the confidence to make beautiful loaves of bread to share!!! Want to learn more from her!!!
I don't often offer comments, but when I do it's for something legendary. Thank you for being genuine and talking through both how to bread but how to manage mistakes. Rockstar!!!
Finalllly! A bread UA-cam that gives big hope to the average home cook to make great bread! You are great & a great teacher!Thank you so much! Absolutely fantastic class!
Erin, you are a treasure!! I could seriously watch your videos all day. You are an amazing teacher and explain things so well. Brioche here I come! Thank you!
Wonderful tutorial! 👏👏👏 Back when they taught home economics in high school, I wish we had a teacher like you. It would have made a huge difference in my life. But, hey, I'm still learning at 69.
Wonderful master class! Her competent hands make it look so easy, and every person who has attempted baking with yeast know that there are many pitfalls. The mark of an experienced master baker is to know what those are, so thank you for going the extra mile and showing us examples of over-proofed and under-proofed breads.You are an inspiring teacher! Now, to bake!!!🍞🥐🥖
You have given us an education in bread baking and I shall remember it when getting ready to bake a loaf myself. I worked in a prison and ate plenty of bread cooked there and loved what was cooked there more than some of the store bought bread. They had slicers which cut up the loaves so they could be served nicely and the guys who worked in the bakery learned a skill which they can use once they are released from prison.
Thanks Erin, your explanations giving the reasons why and what we should pay attention to, in addition to being clear and concise is truly a gift. I'd subscribe if we saw you more often. :)
how did i just discover this?! this is so good! i was like 5 minutes in and was like "oh this video is probably almost over, she is so helpful! 😩" but then i look and see it's 50 min. omg i watched the whole thing! how is this free content! thanks for being so helpful ! 🥳
Erin is fabulous. As I watched this, just as I was forming the questions in my mind, she was answering them. It would be fabulous to take an in-person class with her. Thanks for so generously sharing your knowledge. Onward!
Erin is a great teacher ! She explains well to give insights of what happens if done right / wrong. Trust me , i've watched sooooo many breadmaking videos and this is one of the best and totally well spent 50mins. Looking forward to seeing more series from Erin !
I made a six braid challah last night with semi-sweet chocolate chips and rehydrated dried apricots that I had around that I chopped up and added to 3 of the "ropes" and some cinnamon sugar to the other three. Erin is right when she says if you do it enough you dont even need the recipe . You will just know because depending on the humidity it can change how much flour you use. Once you get the basics down you really can play with lots of other ingredients.
Love Erin!! She's a great teacher and I love the time and thought you guys took to make this.The 'mistakes happen' portion is a great segment because I like to know how/why I went wrong. Being stuck inside I can really take the time to learn.
You are such a gorgeous Baker, so unintimidating to encourage people to bake, full of trade technical secret. A true expert makes things simple. Such an inspiration. Thank you. Xx💖
Just loved this video. Your accuracy with the measurements is a godsend after watching many horrific fashion-cooking channels that use horribly vague cup measurements. Also Erins tips are really insightful and thoughtful for newcomers to bread baking. Couldn't recommend this more.
Thank you, Erin, for taking the mystery out of the bread baking process. So many questions answered, every word instructive, useful. Thank you! Excellent video!
Great appreciation for sharing this invaluable information for bread making ..Master class indeed, as many have said ...I’m going to make Ciabatta tomorrow. Not afraid anymore ... Thank you Erin .. for being REAL. 😘
Thirty minutes in and here’s another thank You. So many YTers tell us how easy it is to make bread, but then use mixers most of us don’t have. Using a mixer that so many YTers complain can’t be used because of the creep up the hook issues makes me feel confident trying this brioche recipe!
This is the encouragement I needed. She just knew all my baking insecurities. I've only tried to make flat bread, ciabatta and donuts but each time I've used yeast something went wrong. That's why I haven't tried in a long time. Maybe I'll give it a try this weekend🤔
You are the best teacher and such a wonderful personality I can watch you for hours.... I have learned sooo much from you already Please keep the videos coming just love you... Wish you were on tv.
you are quickly becoming my favorite baker .I tried the doughnuts you made and they were quite a hit with the family . i love the channel too. The link for the brioche is actually going to the Best Lemon Custard Pie.
Best video's I have seen in the instructional baking types. I've baked for years and yet this has been very interesting as I have learned things and you speak in a very clear manner.
You are adorable! Your tutorials are so informative and am learning so much - and I've only watched 3 videos! I already love you and will surely make your recipes 🥰 All the best. You are a rare and awesome gift to the baking world 😇
Love this video so much! The host is just lovely to listen to and watch! Educational, entertaining, and confidence boosting. "If it messes up . . . you make breadcrumbs!"
Thank you for this. I am a Chef and this actually explained sooooo much more to me than I remember learning in Culinary School. I love the trouble shooting and the tips and tricks to know when your bread has proofed properly as well as the things to note when using different types of yeast. Beautifully presented. Thank you, thank you, thank you!🙏🙏❤️
Best part, for me, was the chef explaining that our senses are our best tools. If we know how things are supposed to feel, look, smell, taste (of course), and even sound, then we'll know how well things are going, even if the mechanical tools fail.
I have been baking brioche for a few years and I really got some good tips from you, especially about adding the butter slowly. I like to braid mine onto a parchment on a cookie sheet, and give them as thank you gifts. I gave two to my priest and his monastery brothers for Thanksgiving and they were very happy. You are right it is not a difficult bread to master.
You are such a great teacher, Erin. And, inspiring. Thank you so much for this video. I went to the food52 website and found your Salted Butter Brioche. I made a play on it. I received a gift of some Saffron. I used the milk from your recipe, heated it, and bloomed a pinch of it. Added a little Cardamon, a bit of King Arthur Fiori de Sicilia, and some of the KA Yuletide Fruit Blend. My house smelled so good while it was baking. The crumb is tasty, soft, slightly sweet.
Wow! Loved this video sent the link to all my daughters. Im a 73 year old grandpa who has just found I love making bread. I have an apron I had made that has Yeast is our friend printed on it. Lol
You are an amazing instructor, friendly, clear and concise with helpful tips. Thank you! I just pre-ordered your pie book and have the fearless baker too! 😊 can’t wait until it comes out!
I stumbled on this video while looking for a non food channel. I am SO happy that I watched it and was captivated. I've been trying to make bread all during the quarantine and I've never seen anyone explain the gluten the way Erin does. Thank you Erin and we need much more of the knowledge in your head. You are too cute!!! Love the shirt!!!
I made the Ciabatta today and it was perfect. Better than most bakery. I did not know about biga until I watched this video. I will never make bread without it again. Thanks Erin!
Please protect Erin at all cost! I love her so much she’s an amazing teacher! Also as someone who uses English as a second language, I’m surprised I can understand every single word she says without subtitles. She makes everything so easy to understand!
What do you mean, “uses English as a second language”?
This was truly a master’s class. The host is articulate, clear and her knowledge is evident...and she’s cute too.
Reeyiy
Rrrrrrey

She is cute & presents herself with information. Well
erins videos are the ones i watch when i want to relax. no misinformation, no bullshit or unnecessary obnoxious flair for youtube likes. just pure passion for her craft and a wealth of knowledge.
💯!!
You are the best baking teacher I have ever seen. Hope you get a TV show, if you want it.
Erin is A+++. She is knowledgeable, comfortable in front of the camera, an excellent instructor and pure inspiration. The result is that she gives viewers confidence.
And every now and again she peppers her point subtly with humor! Love it!
She doesnt even know what the actual difference of the yeasts are. Active dry is the bottom of the barrel trash. Instant is actually better. More modern drying process.

@@WrecktifiedUSBB That doesn't help her explain baking to a large audience.

Check out Helen Rennie she also made a video that was about this long and I think I preferred it to this one
I totally agree with you.
Thx Erin♡
My favorite baker and spatula collector! I would pay large amounts for cooking classes with you woman!
Eristotl3 yes!
Yes Me too. Erin is Amazing!
Yes!
Me too
i couldn't even readthe recipe and it disappeared
I’m a home baker and have been baking for several years. I love content like this. There’s ALWAYS more to learn about the most modest ingredients. Thanks for this little masterclass in the basics! Keep it up!
What a fantastic video! This UA-cam channel really did manage to get really sweet, knowledgeable people on board. Excellent learning resource!
This was a master class in bread making! Erin is amazing, and is now tied with Claire Saffitz as my favourite UA-cam foodies!
Check out the channel "Aaron and Claire" for another great Claire! 😊

GIVE ERIN HER OWN SHOW
Erin is incredible! love the way she explains every thing so clear!
She needs her own show for sure
Priscilla Browne I totally agree with both comments!
Vivían Rojas totally, i love how detailed her explanations are.
Vivían Rojas I love her. I just made her puffy pastry ie rough pastry and everyone/family and neighbors are still raving about it during Covid 19 I made them happy. What can l say she is fantastic lol
she is certain about what she is going to say
You are a great teacher - I never watch baking vids this long...
Pls keep bringing Erin back! She’s amazing.
Who has been hiding this woman? Fabulous teacher baker style!
EXCELLENT JOB!!! Thank you for so much info!!!! So STINKIN excited to get baking!!! Erin is a wonderful teacher that seems so encouraging and gives us the confidence to make beautiful loaves of bread to share!!! Want to learn more from her!!!

OMG!!! I’m so glad I found you! You’re a wonderful teacher.... some have the cooking skills, but not the teaching skills.
I gotta admit I'm here because I enjoy the vibe of the show!!
I say this every time I see you make something, but you are a *fantastic* teacher. I could watch you all the dingdong day!
First I have to say how much I like Erin's videos and tips and tricks. She is so fun to watch. I have learned so much from her Thank you

Holy smokes I love your passion for bread - you are the coolest person on the internet that I have come across in a really long time!
I just love her teaching method. She is so knowledgeable and makes that knowledge so accessible. Love watching these episodes with Ms. Erin McDowell!
Wonderful tutorial! 👏👏👏 Back when they taught home economics in high school, I wish we had a teacher like you. It would have made a huge difference in my life. But, hey, I'm still learning at 69.
Erin is so wonderful with her videos explaining & teaching, I wish she just had her own YT channels...so very knowledgeable.
This woman is a fantastic teacher. Her knowledge and charisma is amazing. I can't wait to bake more for my family

@@Michellee970 They are all wonderful. There are so many different things you can add from sweet to savory to make it your own.
Why would someone dislike this video? It's informative, interesting and overall amazing
She explains so well I feel like am in a real class.thank you very much.
I love Erin. She's a fantastic teacher and super adorable 💜
Love Erin!! She's a great teacher and I love the time and thought you guys took to make this.The 'mistakes happen' portion is a great segment because I like to know how/why I went wrong. Being stuck inside I can really take the time to learn.
Erin, you are my new bread-best friend. Thank you! ERIN for PRESIDENT!
YAY! I was asking for more segments of Erin - and here we are!
Made this once. My wife liked it so much I am making it again tonight. Great work, Erin !
I'm learning so much. Love it how she elaborates the science of baking

Thank you, Erin, for taking the mystery out of the bread baking process. So many questions answered, every word instructive, useful. Thank you! Excellent video!

Will watch everything she is in
Im a HUGE fan
I would follow her in an Apocalyse
Cuz she would know what to do for food amd feed us
ERIKA DOWDY What’s her last name and where else can I watch her?
hahahaha that last line there, my exact thoughts ERIKA ;) lol
