I'm a retired baker with 45 years experience. I always used 'lidded' trays when baking English Muffins. Basically the lid was the same rectangular shape as the base tray but just a little bigger so it fits over the base tray. Lids were put on before proving. Lidding the trays meant the top and bottom face of the muffins baked and coloured at the same time. No flipping needed.

Good tip

“If the mold won’t eat what you want to eat. Should you be eating it?” Perfect !

I can’t put into words how this video makes me feel. So happy for you guys. I’ve been watching for quite some time now and the transformation is insane. I hope to visit one day!

I’ve been watching it so many times too, so beautiful

This is extremely impressive. Multitasking and filming during a high pressure situation is not something many could pull off; especially with such ease. Hope the opening went great!

JUST pray and God will certainly bless you all.

Jon and Amanda! Woohoo! I felt myself become emotional when I saw customers in the bakery…what a journey! What a story! You are an inspiration. I can only try to imagine the demands of this day and I admire your dedication to family, the bakery and this channel. I eagerly watch every video, dissect what I can and transfer that knowledge to my own home kitchen. I am forever grateful for the Gochujang Bread recipe…it will always be our favorite. This planet is lucky to have people like you. Saskatoon, SK Canada

You can tell how much you love baking and the sourdough because you’re such a good teacher at it

I’m so honored to back you, I knew you could do this. Your team is amazing. I hope that now you’re spending more time with your lovely family and that your girls are happy and healthy.

Love your job dearly. As a retired baker, i do miss the early morning chores in bakery, you are reminding me a lot of the old days.

We both wish you all the best in your new adventure. We both know how hard & challaging it can get but you all have that passion to succeed !!!! My husband has been a baker/pastrycook for nearly 50 years but soon to hang the boots up but still has that passion !!! Regards from Western Australia

Congrats to you John, And all of the staff at proof . What a great effort in getting the new bakery store such a huge successful meaningful life experience. 👏

Probably the one of the most unique channels on KZread, wish you guys all the best.

Keep Aloe for those burns. Keep applying. Works wonders. I know~ I used to work in a bakery!

This makes me so happy to see you all busy and with so many customers coming in! Everything looks delicious. Wish I was closer so I buy one of everything! Best wishes for continued happiness and success!

On Apr 22, 2020 in the description of Proof Bread's first video, Jon said "We’re in this together. Those of us who are farmers, ranchers and bakers have been on overdrive to help feed this city. Everyone is undergoing massive change. If you notice the differences, I encourage you to practice empathy to your neighbors as they adapt. It doesn’t really matter what you did a few weeks ago on the regular. Chances are, it’s different in some way now. Chances are you are learning how to adapt. Let’s be aware that all of us are in that boat, and let’s focus on coming together as a community." . . . . . A year and a half later, having watched all of the videos that have followed, including today's video, Jon, family and all of their workers at Proof Bread are still talking the talk and walking the walk. RESPECT. 👍👍👍👍👍

Congratulations on your soft opening. I’m rooting for you and I know you’ll succeed with all y’all’s dedication and skill. GO PROOF! Woo woot

This video is so emotional. It’s making me cry of happiness! You guys have persevered in so many ways, and your mantra of sharing your growth is inspirational ♥️🦋

I lovvvvvvvvve your new bakery!!! Thank you so much for supplying the people with REAL bread! I am a true believer that this is the only kind of bread that is healthy to eat! I make all my baked goods with sourdough starter and never use commercial yeast! You are my hero!👍🏻🥰🌺

In the beginning, I can’t unsee him sprinkling fairy dust on the dough🤣

I wish you all the best of success. And thank you for taking us along!

When I was overseas in the Navy I remember getting bread like that it was so fresh that the crust was crusty in the center was warm and toasty and delicious

Amazing how he orchestrated everything with timing. So precise.

So much work.Good for you guys.

Congratulations on your soft opening! I so wish I could come enjoy your bread!

Best wishes, John! 26:01 Your "signature" score. The mark of premium quality.

This entire video bursts with passion. Such a joy to witness

What a genuine love for bread! Best wishes to your business. I wish I could visit your store someday.

Congratulations on making this far John.. Your uplifting spirit is contagious..

looks wonderful , wished i lived in AZ would come down and say hi.

Wow, this is massive and beautiful. More grace

Full of admiration for your work, all of you guys seem to be a great team.

Wow such an inspiration and so happy for you!

I would try not to lose that as more and more fans finding the store your ability to talk directly to the customer fans 👍👍👍👍🍞🍞🥐🥐🥐🥖🥖🥖🥖

Go get 'em guys! Your videos are SO Professional! What a wonderful bakery & bakers. Blessings to you ALL!

It has been joy to watch you grow. I love baking. I bake all my bread at home and learned so many tips to perfect my loaves of bread. I was heartbroken to know someone was wondering to push you guys out of your house. But look what they did ! They made you open your own store ! I am very happy for you. Congratulations to you and wishing all the success

We soo happy for you ,guys!!

The new bakery looks great. Happy for You guys

Congrats with the new bakery. I wish you and the whole team the best for years to come. Greetings from Belgium 🇧🇪

Glad to see your progress!!

So glad to see you and the crew at Proof are getting fitted into the new bakery and routines. It will take a while, but when you get everything working as smooth as you can you won't believe everything was any different. Take care all of you. Be safe, stay well and keep forging ahead.

Great to see everything coming to fruition after such a long slog. Glad that I could help in a small way, even from the UK, with a donation to such a fabulous bakery, with an equally fabulous story. @thebreadcode noticed the Gluten Tag on the door at minute 28:03 - Good luck for the Grand opening. Well Done to all

I love bread, i wish i could work there and experience working with people that stay true to their mission.

Found you guys recently so watching all that has happened is a journey. You have born up to it well - I believe even those crappy challenges (the home bakery) are to move us forward done right. You guys exemplify that. And yes, both of you can bake and teach and do it all with such ease, you are MADE FOR THIS. Thank you for the inspiration from a home baker - it is about baking with love and a connection.

Congrtats! The bakery looks phenomenal! Well deserved :3

Good luck, looks great!

Congratulations and Bountiful Blessings on your new adventure PROOF! I'm on week 3 of a vegetable juice fast, and watching you all methodically, carefully, intentionally and soulfully bake bread has been soul food and good medicine for me. Satisfying on many levels, especially knowing that people who truly care and foster a culture of honor are prospering and being rewarded in kind. PROPS PROOF!

The place looks amazing!!

I have been watching your journey for awhile now and seen your growth and growing pains and I am so blown away at your progress from not knowing how to bake to your beautiful bakery now! I wish I could come and work with /for you and learn your process! You really have come a long way in a short time and I’m so proud of you!😍👍🏻🎊Congratulations!🎊🎉

Just sat here smiling throughout this video 😊 ... soooooo happy for you guys... I just know you all are gonna SMASH this!!!

Love your new bakery, the bread and pastries look so amazing and delicious. God blessings over you and your bakery.

Sending huge amounts of love & blessing. You’re very kind to keep us involved and to watch your much deserved success. ✌️💚 & congratulations 🥖 🍞 ☕️ 🥐

Very impressive! Love sourdough baking! Thanks for sharing everything. Cheers from Sweden.🥳

Congrats guys!!

SO nice to see the art side of bread making, the work you have gone through to get to this point looks exasperating, nice to see there are still people who want to take on this work load, bakers are under appreciated for sure,, not by me of course, wish I lived next door to you, Id be there every day .. good luck in your business and thanks for the Video

Really appreciate Emerald's attention to detail on the shaping of the baguettes.

Can we please take a moment for how he's just casually chatting away while putting bread into that absolute beast of an oven!!! WOW!!!

Good luck, looks like an awesome place

very educational and insightful guys. very nice.

Awesome and congrats! I'm happy for you all! Exciting! Impressive. Sounds like a very cool place. I love places like this.

The proclivity of this man with his craft is extremely noticeable in his final product. I'm so happy I randomly found this place.

Of course. Just had to return to Jersey. Can’t wait to get home and check out the joint!

Saying Hi from the U.K, love your `go get em` enthusiasm and the great staff you have around you..

Respect the hustle!

Congratulations! 💖

Congrats from Spain. Tú equipo y tú merecéis todo éxito. 😃

Wow, randomly found this video, and am so excited when I realized you guys were in Arizona!

Absolutely stunning what you've made out of this place and how far you've come in general! I love that concept so much of that kind of bakery restaurant hybrid. Some bakeries here in Germany do that as well, especially if they're in the city center. Sometimes they even offer 2 or 3 lunch dishes/sandwiches. If I knew a place that was as cool and creative with their recipes as you guys I would go there constantly. I really hope I can visit you some day. Keep it up!

This is the first video I've seen from this channel and it looks like I'm about to binge watch. I love bakeries. Looks like hard work to manage it all. Everything looks so delicious.

Love your work! Love your work ethic ! Love the way you guys stay so cool whilst " under the pump"! Congratulations for making it this far & nailing your first opening! Your products are World Class & you should be VERY PROUD of yourselves! RESPECT! Regarding your english muffin dilemma, use silicone baking paper on the trays & you'll never have another stuck muffin ( or related burn! )

It’s apparent you have a passion for baking. Keep at it!

I wanna quit my job as a lawyer and come and work here. I love baking bread!

Absolutely wonderful. Can’t wait to make my pilgrimage to your bakery on my motorcycle from Chicago.

Good luck with your new location 🥰

Really inspiring video, how you keep so calm in such a high pressure situation is impressive. I would love to get there one day to try your bread and pastries, they all look amazing! 👏👏

The is one of the few channels I watch at normal speed. Good luck on the grand opening.

Wow, congratulations , your workshop looks great, Well done, !!! Well done !! Hard work, cool job, Thanks for sharing !!!

I love the model! I love when I walk in and see people working and making food, it makes me feel like I’m a little village girl. There’s a part of me that LOVES (even if I’m sad) when something is sold out and I’m forced to try something new.

Congratulations!

You really got good crew. They love working with you.

Nice wish you all well

Awesome.... My passion for baking will come true like yours👌👌👌👌

PROOF = Entering dreamland! Wonderful ... Greetings from Innsbruck / Austria.

From UK. Looks amazing. Good luck to you guys. Nothing like fresh bread with lots of butter.

We used to do something like this at our bakery. People really LOVE knowing that the bread is hot out of the oven. They didn’t even mind waiting if there was coffee! Good luck!

It must smell amazing in the bakery! 😍😍

Man, that’s a ton of work you guys do! Good luck. I hope this pays off in proportion to the immense effort. I don’t doubt it will, though.

Classic example of self induced stress!! Good luck! I hope it works out great! 😊

You guys (and gals) are SO AMAZING! Your PROOF sign and the new bakery look FANTASTIC and I can't believe you're making that extra leap to have hot baked goods ready for customers as soon as you open.....and on the FIRST DAY?!! I can see John writing a book like Tartine has, in a year or so. Truly amazing progress in such a short time. I can't see you not becoming one of the best Artisan bakeries in the U.S. in the next few years.

I wish the best of luck for you and Your TEAM 👍

People are so lucky to have this bakery in their town. I have to drive 30 minutes to get to good bakery like this. Good luck to this bakery in the future.

When I go to Turkey one of the things I love is getting fresh hot bread from the bakeries. You can watch as they pull it out of the oven bag and hand it to you. Also no chemicals in anything

I love baking bread. Since I cook for just myself, I developed a one-serving loaf. That way I can eat fresh, hot bread every day without gaining weight. Your breads look lovely.

congrats!!! real nice!... very ispiring

16 views! I'm sure it went well!! Congratulations after all the hard work! 🎉

Great job

don't know why KZread suggested this video but good luck with your hustle, that bread looks phenomenal!!!!

If you've ever attempted to make bread for the first time, you realize just how much of an art-form it really is. Getting the stages just right is a bit daunting. It is a specialty...the word 'baker' denotes this. Personally, I've made bread many times and I've had many failures. I'm just now getting to the place where I realize the success of all the experience. Having a really good baker and bakery in your village is a wonderful thing. I applaud the efforts of these folks.

Jon, Morning... I'm so happy for "you"... Seems the transition is going smooth.... Your success is inevitable... Cheers...

Nice crowd just for soft opening 😀. Keep up your good work! 💪

This is exciting, I can feel the tension in the room…😊

Holy crap those ovens!
