I love when you show how "things" happen in the kitchen, shows that you are a real cook!! Thank you for the recipe looks delicious!

I love this stuff. These comments are ridiculous. If it’s food, and it tastes good, I don’t care if it’s authentic. Truly authentic human cuisine is raw unseasoned meat, LOL! Thank you for the recipe, John :) P.S. I’ve made your artisan loaf a dozen times now. It’s my favorite bread recipe now because it’s so fast and simple and rewarding.

Agree. Most people aren’t trying to recreate an “authentic” 1700s/French Revolution bread recipe, including making a custom brick oven and growing your own home yeast on the windowsill. They just want something that is good for a minimum of labor.

Thank you John for being specific about the type of yeast! Most online bakers either don’t know or don’t bother to tell the difference and just use the term “dry yeast” to describe whatever they’re using. They almost never specifically tell you whether the recipe calls for instant or “not instant”…

🇫🇷 Okay if this makes people happy, please enjoy your bread! IF you want to make "une baguette 🥖" then we got rules to follow has not every bread in the shape of a baguette is a baguette and believe me I'm French and i worked in a British bakery for 10 years where they was making British bread in a shape of a baguette who even know was nice would have never compare to the real article. So if you're truly interested in making "une baguette" please do like anyone who try to learn something do and study properly the subject. There's a lot of knowledge and techniques involved in making a good baguette like in anything, like in making an humble hard boiled egg if you look into it.

@@deebee4850 in France we do not have only one type of baguette we got La baguette classique. La baguette tradition. la flûte. la ficelle. la baguette en épis. la sarmentine And that's not all it's just the most common. The one you probably know is La baguette classique but when you go to a bakery and you buy what you feel like. So when you cook a bread you cook what you feel like too, so I don't have the one true recipe for baguette but Richard Bertinet do have a nice recipe with some excellent explanation on the Gozney channel if you are interested to try.

PRO TIP: Active Dry Yeast lasts for years if you store it in the freezer. I have some Organic Active Dry Yeast by Bioreal from January 31 2018 (the date stamped on the top of the box) that I'm still using. Also Parchment paper is a good replacement for oil to avoid things sticking to surfaces and as a more healthlful alternative to tin/aluminum foil --now that we know how harmful ingesting aluminum is.

Well I'm not John, but I have made breads without a stand mixer. Prepare the flours and liquids in separate bowls. Make a well in the center of the flour, pour the wet ingredients (once the yeast has activated) into the flour. Mix with the back of a wooden spoon, and once it starts to hold its shape, pour it out onto a clean surface, floured if necessary, and knead until it looks ready (as shown in the video)
