None of the recipes on here are good. They are generic low quality junk
I just made this pizza tonight and it was TERRIFIC!!!!! Everything was perfect!! The dough, was delicious!!! I made the pizza just as this video instructed, using the exact ingredients that I purchased from King Arthur!!! And the same pan too! I did everything exactly the same and the pizza turned out perfect!!!! I am so over-the-top happy! Thank you so much!!!!!
Since the oven temp is so high and would burn rosemary sprinkled on top, could I sprinkled a generous amount on top before the first coil fold so it's well mixed inside the dough after the final fold?
Love your teaching style. You leave nothing out! Just subscribed
Martin sure is brilliant! 😄 Welcome, Cali! -🥐Lily
I can't wait to try this today. Can I use a 9x13 inch Lloyd pan that has about a 1 inch side?
We're excited to learn what you think of it, Anne! You could try with the 1" pan, though there's the chance of the dough spilling over. You could place the pan on a baking sheet to catch anything if it seems to be the case. Hoping this helps! -🥐Lily
I’m making this right now along with the video. I’m so excited! I just did the first coil fold and noted that my dough is not quite as slack as Martin’s looks in the video. I’m using KA bread flour, and I did weigh my flour and water in grams. Stay tuned.
Staying tuned! Thanks for baking alongside us, Marjorie 😄 -🥐Lily
I gave the dough an extra 5 or 6 minutes before the second coil fold, and everything was back on track. It came out of the oven a gorgeous masterpiece. However it stuck like the dickens to my all-aluminum pan (Doughmaker’s pebble finish). I panicked but finally got it chiseled out with moderate damage. I will absolutely make this again, but in a different pan.
Yay Grandma!
I love watching your videos Martin. You’re an EXCELLENT teacher!!!!
We're glad you're enjoying his videos, Marlene! 😊 -🥐Lily
That's not thin crust, but it does look great!
Let us know if you give it a try, S Sab! 😄 -🥐Lily
Interesting 4:13 "I like to keep my hands clean". 7:40 spreads olive oil all over the pan with his hands.
Great observation! 😅 The olive oil on his hands from oiling the pan actually helps to keep his hands clean(er) when spreading the dough into the pan, so the dough doesn't stick to his hands. -🥐Lily
Hey Martin, I’d like to bake this recipe in a 12” cast iron skillet. I know I need to work out the volume but, provided I do, what adjustments should I make to the bake given it won’t heat up as quickly as your 9x13?
That sounds delish, Anthony! 😋 Ensure that the pan is well-oiled, and place the skillet on the lower part of the oven. Bake until the description of "deeply brown". This recipe is a great reference for baking with the skillet: www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/crispy-cheesy-pan-pizza-recipe. We're excited to hear how it goes! -🥐Lily
Hi! Does making the starter for this dough help it be a softer bagel? I’ve made this recipe with no starter and the cinnamon crunch are always a bit dry.
Hey there! Yes, the starter contributes to a softer bagel. Do you use a substitute for the starter, or simply omit? -🥐Lily
Hi Martin, great video, a quick question what is the least amount of salt to still have that great loaf., thank you
For the least amount of salt, omit it as the topping and for the dough, you could reduce to 1 tsp. To bear in mind, the dough may proof faster. Please let us know how your bake goes, Ralph! 😊 -🥐Lily
So how could this be seasoned with rosemary if it will burn during the bake? Can it be baked lower/slower? Rosemary added later? Thanks! It looks delicious but I gotta have my rosemary on focaccia
Hi, PJE! I'm the same way with my focaccia. 😊 You could toss some on about halfway through the bake. Please let us know how it bakes out! -🥐Lily
@@KingArthurBakingCompany Thanks so much, Lily ‼️😘
You're most welcome! Happy baking 😊 -🥐Lily
After the 2 hour final rise, the dimples in the dough closed up into slits. Could this be from over-proofing before baking?
Hi Dan! When are you dimpling the dough? It should be done after the final rise, just before going into the oven. -🍰Grace
@@KingArthurBakingCompany Thanks for your reply. Yes I dimpled the dough just before I placed it in the oven
Hmm that's odd then. But I think you may be on the right track with over proofing. Try proofing it slightly less and let us know if there's any difference! -🍰Grace
@@danbrady1685Hey Dan, try being just a little firmer with your dimples, pushing to the depth of the pan. Let us know how it goes! Martin@KABC
you forgot to add temp in C in the recipe
Our apologies, 475°F translates to approximately 250°C. -🍰Grace
@@KingArthurBakingCompany I meant on your website. The measurements are listed in metric and imperial, but the temps are all imperial.
I'm glad he mentioned the inclusion of Olive Oil because in the end there's probably 75g in the final product.
Oh that crunch sounds splendid! I love baking Pan de Cristal and I’m sure this focaccia is no different. Can’t wait to bake
Let us know how it goes! -🍰Grace
i love you martin
Where is the recipe for the focaccia? You keep saying its like the Pan de Crystal, but the video instructions' are not the same. For a neww baker this is really confusing. Please fix
Thanks for the question! The recipe this video is about (www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/pan-de-cristal-recipe?) is for classic Pan De Cristal, but the written instructions for the focaccia version Martin is demoing can be found at the very bottom of the linked recipe. Scroll down to "Tips from our Bakers" and you'll find the note "To make this dough into a bubbly focaccia:..." You'll want to follow that. Same recipe, different methods. Hope this helps! -🍰Grace
Martin has the best bread instructions on youtube makes everything so easy to follow
🍞🥖💕 -🍰Grace
Wow! This is what I’ve been making at home the last several weeks! Bright minds think alike 😉 I have been making focaccia using King Arthur bread flour exclusively with Pan de Cristal level hydration. I love the taste of olive oil in my bread and the thin crispy crust. Yum! I also prefer instant yeast over active dry.
Bread twins! 🍞🥖 -🍰Grace
Thank you so much for your amazing videos! I especially like the information on salinity, it is great to learn the method of recipe formation. Best channel ever!
We're always happy to share, thank you for your kind words! -🍰Grace
Would the result be the same in terms of crispiness if I replaced yeast for sourdough?
You're in luck! We've got a blog post all about sourdough Pan de Cristal here: www.kingarthurbaking.com/blog/2022/04/07/how-to-make-pan-de-cristal-with-sourdough-starter. The crispiness should stay the same, but we do have to suggestions when attempting this. First, it's best to start with the original Pan de Cristal recipe if you have never attempted a recipe like this before, then make the sourdough version after. Second, this would be a "semi-sourdough" bread as you do not want to fully omit the yeast when adding sourdough the the recipe. Good luck and happy baking! -🍰Grace
instant (fast rising) vs active dry yeast ! sheesh, I didn't pick up on that in your Pan De Cristal vid's which I just used active dry yeast, I'll use instant this weekend. PS. I love my Kitchenaid Pro stand mixer...however to your point. I sincerely love just hand folding dough's like this taking the time waiting for the pay off at each step. I wouldn't use a stand mixer if it even worked/made sense.
There's just something to a (more literal) handmade bread, nothing can top that! 🥖 -🍰Grace
I love this. I’m making one small change because I’m like that. 😂. I just made a poolish with 150 grams each water and KA bread flour. I’ll start the dough tomorrow morning. Let’s see what a little poolish will change. Thank you so much for this recipe. I can’t wait!!!
Ooo can't wait to hear how it turns out, Paul! 🍞🥖 -🍰Grace
You are the bread king!
It's in our name after all! 👑 -🍰Grace
I have such a hard time with timing. This has the series of folds plus two 12 hour rests. Tough for me, so that's what I most need to figure out. Love the instruction and expertise!
It all takes practice! But we're always happy to help with your baking journey, let us know if you have any questions along the way! -🍰Grace
If i want to do this recipe in the mini loaf pans (divided in 2), how long should it bake in the oven? Same temp but shorter time?
Correct! Use the same method of decreasing the oven temperature just prior to baking as stated in the recipe. Bake the mini focaccia for less time to start, you can always bake it longer if it looks underdone! -🍰Grace
Would like to see these receipts done with stand mixers
We'll keep that in mind when developing future recipes, Elliot! -🍰Grace
It would be great to have a stand mixer version where you keep it all in the mixer, attachment as well, covered when needed, and come by and give it a short spin every 20 min or so to be the equivalent of the “bowl fold”. Sometimes I’m doing other stuff in the kitchen and getting hand doughy doesn’t help ha.
Thank you for the suggestion, Jon! We'll take that into consideration for future bread recipes! -🍰Grace
Can you just place the dough into the baking dish when you're performing your last stretch and fold? Then you wouldn't have to be so careful when moving it to the baking dish.
Great point! You could try that, for sure, with the pan prepared next to the dish. We'd be delighted to know how it goes for you! 😊 -🥐Lily
So excited to try this! Any thoughts on using a preferment with this recipe?
We have a guide for sourdough Pan de Cristal, which can be used as a guide for this new recipe. 😊 Please let us know how it goes, Steven! www.kingarthurbaking.com/blog/2022/04/07/how-to-make-pan-de-cristal-with-sourdough-starter -🥐Lily
❤
Don't have a metal pan that size. Can it be baked in a 9 x13 glass pan?
It can! The crust will not be as crisp and may take longer to bake, but it can be done. 😊 -🥐Lily
@@KingArthurBakingCompanyLily, excellent point. I happen to have both pan types. Many thanks,
You're most welcome, Beverly. 😊 Please let us know how your bake goes! -🥐Lily
Wonderful. Thank You Martin.
We're glad you enjoyed the video, Linda! 😊 -🥐Lily
Best King Arthur presenter.
💚💚💚 -🥐Lily
It looks amazing but what as if i do not have that pan? Am I still able to make it?
The pan Martin uses to do the coil folds is not a strict pan size, you could use a two-quart rectangular baking dish (10" x 7") or a 8" or 9" square pan, or anything similar. To bake it as focaccia, a 9" x 13" pan is ideal, but you could use a similar sized smaller or larger oven safe pan. It was just effect the final thickness of your focaccia. -🍰Grace
I’m making tomorrow and will be baking it in a well seasoned 10 inch 80 year old cast iron pan
What if I want to ferment it overnight? At what stage to do it? Also how can I bake it without baking stone?
It is a tricky recipe and is best made as written, if refrigerated it may lose some loft. If you do not have a baking stone, you can use a cast iron pan or another oven-safe skillet. Allow the pan(s) to preheat with the oven. A preheated baking sheet may also work, but results may vary and some baking sheets may warp in the oven when heated alone. Hope this helps! -🍰Grace
Thanks for asking, I was planning to ferment it overnight 😅
I bake Pan de Cristal almost every week. I found that using a whole lot of olive oil keeps it from sticking to the bowl during the rising process. I always make a half recipe and then it fits perfectly into a 4"x8" bread pan, which I use for the final rise and baking. I bake it for around 50-55 minutes. Then let it sit in the oven with the door slightly cracked open for another 20 minutes or so (with the oven off) after baking for a super dark and crunchy crust. Now I have the yummiest bread for toasting ever! A slice or two with mountains of KerryGold butter and I am in heaven.
That does sound heavenly! Thank you for the suggestion, David! -🍰Grace
Hey Martin do you think you can ever mix say soybean pulp from soymilk with bread flour and get a decent loaf of bread?
Martin shares, "I’m sure you’re on the right track with this - - I would start with a low percentage - less than 10% of flour, and see how that performs. You can always increase! Thanks for reaching out. Martin.." 😄 Happy baking, kb! -🥐Lily
Baking with Martin is my happy place.
Ours too, Hillary! It's warm and smells like bread! 🍞🥖 -🍰Grace
omg that crunch... literally drooling... 😋
🤤🤤🤤 -🍰Grace
Ohhhhh……I have got to make this! Great job Martin👍🏻
It's a must on anyone's bread baking to-do list! -🍰Grace
bravo, Martin
“I want to eat the whole thing!” Exactly! Who wouldn’t want to try this?
You got that right, Kathryn! -🍰Grace
Pan de Cristal and Focaccia combined... my pancreas is about to be in deep trouble
It's worth it when it comes to homemade fresh bread! -🍰Grace
My family and I have been eagerly watching your videos. I can’t wait to make this!
What a fun way to spend time with family! Let us know what you think when you do make this recipe! -🍰Grace
Before anyone asks, the recipe link is in the description.
It sure is! 😄 Thanks for sharing! -🥐Lily
I followed the instructions to a T and my dough refused to stretch to size and just ended up over beaten with holes everywhere. How can I fix that in the future?
Your dough may have needed a little rest. 😴 If it was a bit dry, it could use some extra liquid ingredient as well. Here's more information for giving the dough a rest: www.kingarthurbaking.com/blog/2024/02/14/how-to-stretch-pizza-dough Hoping this helps! -🥐Lily
@@KingArthurBakingCompany when I was doing the "kneading" in the bowl a lot of flour was still dry and it was tough to leave behind no residue. I left it to rise for 13 hours but yeah maybe it needs the full 24 hours. I'll try that next time around. Super frustrating but practice makes perfect. Thank you!
You're most welcome! Please share how the next bake goes! 😊🤞 -🥐Lily
