This has given me not only a new perspective on keeping my hands from sticking to the dough but a much better way in handling the dough when shaping it. KUDOS!!!

I've heard this advice before but this was an exceptionally clear demonstration of how it's done.

Thank you for the simply and easy explanation!

Excellent tip there Nicole. We have all made the mistake of thinking more flour will work especially in the early days of learning how to bake bread 👍🙏😃

I think it's really cool that Alyssa Milano grew up and teaches bread baking. Hey Alyssa, I used to love Who's the Boss!

When rolling, I usually widen the sheet of dough as I go, so I don’t end up with protruding ends, and stitch the shape in as soon as it’s together and still sticky, so the tension is working in all directions. If I was to do a further tensioning, it would probably just be just with the plastic scraper, or maybe just rolling on the surface tension, as it probably wouldn’t need further stitches.

I love the way you debunk all these old baking hacks, I was never convinced that additional flour would help as it always ended up worse, just never thought to use water, thank you Nicole !!

Einkorn flour is tricky when you first start using it. The very first time I bought Einkorn flour was to make some pizza dough... I used 100% einkorn :) :) that was a mistake. It literally GLUED itself to the hot pizza stone. I had to scape the heck out of it, flopped it onto a sheet pan and made an ugly but great tasting calzone. Good times :)

Yes, einkorn is lower in gluten than conventional hard wheat, and when used to make sourdough, the "wild yeast" pre-digest the gluten, making it easier to digest.

Lovely lady, might you consider making original marshmallows, which were named from using marshmallow root? I can not, but others swear by them. Then it lubricates lungs, urinary tract, and helps breathing. This I know, if you can get quality material. Theres French Bread, which is wide and long, often layered with different foods as shrimp, oysters, called Po-boys. I mention as it's a good bread. But there's a bread called Pistollettes, some categorize them as Chicago Rolls. But, cut the end off, spoon out the soft bread, then stuff with something like crawfish etoufffe', which is really good. Understand a rue requires TLC, seasoning in contrast to a quick gravy, where there's dark and light rues. You can use chicken fried steak or otherwise in place of crawfish if you so choose. But etouffe' is delicious. Justin Wilson is on you tube and known Cajun cook. Where he makes a Jambalaya with eggplant, where chicken and sausage are usually used. Just a lead. But if you could make some real original marshmallows, that'd be a treat. The root comes in big bags, and if you can find good extract, it's tan colored, no taste, very slippery when wet, gives any drink body and is effective for a few ailments I know of. From experience. Just a lead, where I think original marshmallows would be a hit, as theyre said to be really good.

H! What's the hydration on that 65% einkorn loaf?

@ya00007

more like 50%

That's not that sticky - but your advice is still good - an 80% Hydration is stickier when using something like a French T55 Flour

Drives me absolutely crazy when i see sourdough bakers flour their surfaces, dough and proofing baskets with flour! Einkorn is SO sticky. I usually make 100% einkorn too. Water is definitely your friend when it comes to dough. Thanks for this video.

If I just glance at the thumbnail for this video, it looks like a creepy arm is reaching up out of the bowl.

So all this time I thought one had to develop a "bakers hand" in order for the dough not to stick.

I am trying to learn about bread and I watched recently an interesting Richard Bertinet you tube video: "The Bertinet Method: slap and fold kneading technique" where he is working with a yeasted dough, not sourdough, with that amount of hydration. He seems to shape and fold his demi-baguettes easily with minimal sticking although I'm sure that is only because he has had a lot of practice.

@petesandberg3957

17 күн бұрын

That dough wasn’t particularly sticky. It released from the scraper and the table cleanly. It did even stick to her bucket much.

The real secret is simply that almost all dough recipes are wrong. You need more flour than they state, almost every time, because the "just knead it for 5 minutes" is impossible otherwise when it's a sticky mess that refuses to be workable. Even if you get it to finally start to form and the outside becomes tighter and you can work it, pushing the heel of your palm to stretch it while kneading it just sticks to your palm, even after 5 minutes of working it around, so you need MORE flour. If the solution is "just add a bit more flour", why not just add 10g more flour to your recipe?

@TrueFoodTV

Ай бұрын

With sourdough, we don't do a traditional palm knead. A few rounds of stretch and folds means we're just using our finger tips to pull up and over, keeping the dough in the bowl. Wet hands works well with this technique, and we can work at higher hydration, no added flour needed.

It's also sticking because you mix the inside with the outside. The top side should always stay on top

Thats not really that sticky girl...
