    I’m curious why adding the flour, egg yolk and sugar twice with a fermentation night in between? Thank!

    Salmonella is actually pretty rare and super overhyped in the US. Nowhere else in the world is so paranoid about salmonella and it's very rare that anyone comes in contact with it.

    Hi, thank you for the awesome video. I wanted to ask, if I am using chicken breast for schnitzel, should I slice then brine or put the whole breast and slice after brinning. Thank you

    The way I cook my chicken breasts keep them juicy and tender without brining and works every time. Try it out if you want: Tenderize/even-out your chicken breast, pat it dry, and season all over with whatever you like Preheat pan over medium heat and add 2 tbsps oil once heated Place breast in pan, turn heat to medium high, cook for 90 seconds to 2 minutes. Flip breast and turn heat to low, cover with a lid, let cook for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, remove pan from heat, keep pan covered, let it sit and finish cooking for another 10 minutes. *Don’t remove the lid until the full 20 minutes of cooking is done.* After 10 minutes off the heat it’s ready to be served and eaten 👍

    Anyone who has discard has been lied to. You can use a sourdough starter that has been in the fridge for years. It never dies, just goes dormant.

    If the loaves all tasted similar then fermentation temperature is probably very cold, both in bulk and in proof. If you are baking the loaves the same day, the fridge proof is not a great idea: this will reduce the amount of CO2 in the loaves and give you an under-fermented loaf. Rye and whole wheat will create punchy and distinct flavors, but they must ferment at 28C. Home baking tends to keep temperature much lower, since total dough quantity is small; so the home baker must actively modify initial water temperature to achieve a final dough temperature that is above 25C, ideally above 27C. What the experiment really proved is that cold fermentation produces plain and mild loaves, no matter what type of flour is used.

    Excellent tutorial. But let me suggest something easier and just as good: Buy a big box of Aunt Jemimah pancake mix (or any pre-mix you like). It will cost you all of $3. Pour the mix into a bowl and then add your discard. Use as much as you like. Add your water/milk and mix well. Then cook as instructed here. I promise it will be the best pancakes of your life. The sourdough discard will add that magical ingredient missing from the pancake mix. For a little extra something special, add 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract. Best pancakes of your life.

    Uhhhh... I always brine chicken and turkey, I never brine less than 24 hrs, and always 3 days for a whole turkey. It doesn't get salty, I don't know how long it takes for it to taste salty, but I know it's more than 24hrs for chicken cuts, and more than 3 days for a whole turkey. Btw... good fried chicken doesn't come from buttermilk, 😊 It's all in the brine.

    Great video, but mine turned out into a bit sticky wet mess !!! I had to throw in the bin as completely unworkable. I then followed another youtube video which used more flour, and two whole eggs and two yolks and less butter. Dough was perfect, however, i then didnt manage to get the dough to rise properly. Bread turned out more like jamaican hard dough bread, but they were edible hahahahaha

    the thing about not over-fermenting is super helpful! i also like to keep a spray bottle with just plain water in it on hand, and spray the top of the loaf right before closing the dutch oven. it just adds a little extra water that will quickly turn into steam, and it works if you spray your loaf on a baking tray too!

    I'm Italian and live in NJ. All our recipes for sourdough starter (lievito madre) call for Farina 0. I've looked for other versions but can only find Manitoba and and farina 0. I was wondering why most, American recipes call for whole wheat or rye, for the starter? Does it make a difference if you want to use sourdough starter for pizza? Maybe the wholegrain / rye have a strong taste for making pizza?

    Wet brining is silly. Wet meat is gross and weird; juiciness of meat has nothing to do with how watery it is, and soaking meat in water won’t make it taste better. There is no situation where dry brining isn’t better.
