    Outstanding! I've been baking ten years but I still have difficulty working with high hydration dough, relying too much on flouring the work surface. Bertinet shows a completely different approach, and what a beautiful dough he gets - perfectly uniform and taut. I will be trying this method tomorrow. Thanks to Richard and our host for bringing this lesson to us.

  • @jjwbmk

    Thank you for this video. I tried this technique to enjoy the delight of touching dough again and got absorbed in the free-flowing motion of slapping, stretching, and folding. It didn’t matter that I didn't do it perfectly because of how well Mr. Bertinet demonstrated how to reset and start again. So much fun to work with dough like this and to watch you both banter.

    I hand kneaded some pizza dough for the first time, and was amazed at how you can "feel" it go through various stages. But what a messy pain it was working with sticky, 70% dough! Mr. Bertinet's handling techniques turn hand kneading from a chore to a pleasure! His advice on how to "keep it clean", the kneading itself, even how to stand are invaluable trade secrets. Can't wait to try. I could probably complete this in less time than it takes me to clean up my bread machine from mixing dough.

      I'm convinced after watching various videos and trial and effort that it takes a lonnnngggg time to get used to a 70% dough. Everyone that has enough acumen to make a video has been doing it for years. Until you become that good you are going to drive yourself insane by the stickiness of that dough. If you stare at that dough for too long it will stick to your eyes. You will run 50 gallons of hot water to clean everything that dough touches, bowls, spatulas, scrapers, the counter or board. It simply can't be overstated how sticky that dough is. It must be horrible for the drains and pipes under your sink!! If miss a spot and it dries on you...geezuss..your going to have to scrape it with a sharp instrument of some kind. You must Become used to somehow overcoming the sheer frustratation. If you watch closely you can sense the stickiness,,,but you won't be able to fully understand until you empty your water heater a few times, get it in your hair accidently and spend an hour or more cleaning up everytime..

Actually yeast bread is very forgiving....doesn't rise in 1 hour...wait 2....just get it right in the ingredients, and don't be afraid.

      Hey, falls du viel Brot bäckst.. welches Mehl verwendest du? In den ganzen Rezepten ist immer die Rede von all purpose Flour .. Mein Teig wird nach dem gehen immer super super weich und läuft mir weg, auch wenn ich weniger Wasser verwende.. bekomme den Laib aus dem Gehkörbchen nie schön in den Bräter.. er bildet nie eine Kugel.. :/

      @@juless.9544 Ich bin wieder auf Brotmehl umgestiegen. Es hat einen höheren Proteingehalt. Dies führt zu einer stärkeren Glutenstruktur, die dem Aufgehen besser standhält. Ein weiteres Problem, das auftreten kann: Wenn Sie den Teig zu tief einritzen, besteht die Gefahr, dass die Luft aus dem Teig austritt.

      I think that about pizza chefs. There is always an argument about whether west coast or east coast pizza is better. But if a New York pizza chef moves to some podunk town in California, that town will have good pizza. The internet has made it possible to source required ingredients from anywhere. It ain't the location.

    Slap and fold or stretch and fold seems to be a miracle. My dough always seemed to be too wet and if I just added flour it didn't end as I wanted. But just picking it up and stretching it, folding it and stretching it a few times, then letting it rest and repeating it make a wonderful textured dough. I still have a lot to learn which is why I'm here. One major thing I've learned is you have to just make bread to get better.

    I started making my own bread every day at home and many recipes tell you 3dl of liquid for 500g of flour. I realised lately that if you put 0.5 dl more, you get a far better bread, but the dough is sticky. So I was wondering how to knead my dough without making a mess and I just got my answer. I just need to practice it now 😅! Amazing video. Bread making is so noble!

    Best teacher ever ! Lot of fun and love, reminds me of my baker boss when I was an apprentice. He doesn't transmit only technics but the spirit behind it, you couldn't find more French. People needs to understand, in France we don't make things to impress but to enjoy, to share great moments with friends and family around a great meal, that's why a simple lunch can stand 2 hours easily. We simply don't eat to live, it's more than that. From the pain au chocolat perfume from the neighbor bakery, the vibrant fresh market in the street, the Boeuf bourguignon of your grandma with a fresh bread and great butter, to the warm tarte Tatin with a crème fraîche... It's... You know!
    Search for taste before a beautiful product, put your soul in it.

    500g flour
    360g of water or 0.36 liters.
    10g of salt
    10g of yeast.
