Shaping and Baking Sourdough Baguettes with Amanda | Proof Bread

Amanda walks through the process of shaping, scoring, and baking our baguettes.

» Proof Bread is a modern throwback to a way of life that values small-scale craftsmanship, local community, and creativity. We are a small group of passionate bakers working in our garage (thanks to cottage laws) which has been converted into a micro-bakery. Everything we bake is made by hand, from the best local ingredients, with no short cuts.

This channel is as underrated as they come. Where else can you hear from highly experienced bakers who worked thru so much struggle and MADE IT!!! Love the work.

9:20 "I don't know tell me what do you think".. that is enough.. I support you all.. that is all we humans truly need.

To share your secrets with the world is just so amazing. John and Amanda has different teaching styles which are very interesting. One of the thing you get from them both are life lessons. If you listen carefully you will hear lessons deeper than just bread. Just love you guys.

If you're ever looking for ideas for more content, , I'd love to hear more about what you look for in terms of under/over proofing.

I can’t even tell you how great these videos are. I’ve been making sourdough for about 2 years and these videos aren’t just full of techniques and tips but they’re like visiting a local bakery and being able to spend the day in the back kitchen. Just fed my starter this morning not knowing what I’d prep this afternoon. It’s looking like baguettes!

10:24 try these in order:
a) stronger bread flour,
b) adding 3 pull-into-thin-rectangle then-fold-a-bunch -es with 15 minute rest time in-between,
c) increasing salt by .5% to 2.5% or above, coupled with increased hydration,
d) overproofing when final proofing,
e) more steam time
You're doing a good job.

I love the honesty of you both, refreshing to see! I can only make a no knead loaf, still working on,
and a sandwich bread that took 3 years to perfect, but there is always that it flops in my eyes! Thank you for these great videos!

[RainbowMcCool]

Stumbled on these videos the other night and I have to say they are wonderful. Very informative and lots of great tips I can take away for baking at home. Keep up the great work !

[hermitwatcher]

So fascinating! The art of sourdough is really down to experience. That bread looked super yummy and make a great sandwich. Bruschetta sounds good for dinner!

Amanda, thanks for the clear details on scoring the loaf and the clear instructions. Great video!

Nice video Amanda. It nice to watch because I need to improve my baguette shaping consistency. Thank you for showing how you over lap scores on centre.

Love watching your guys videos. We shape different and love to see how much things can vary and how we adapt to the dough and the surroundings.
