Editing 2020-03-20

Today's segment is why I started this course: after trying to make french / baguette type bread several times and failing, I decided to concentrate on it for weeks. Eventually I had an epiphany: french / rustic etc. bread is NOT like granny / sandwich bread, or pan rolls or pizza dough. It is a different thing. So today's chapter is that epiphany written down into a couple hundred words: [[French Rustic Baguette Italian]] bread theory. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJEHsvW2J6M ^^ Sourdough people: this is a fantastic 20 minutes. He slashes the dough at 17:45 but he doesn't say how important that is. I agree with everything he presents here - including the metal scraping blade. with wet dough like this it is a necessity. The previous video showed dude using a plain pillowcase for his couche - I use a plain piece of cotton broad as well. Flour it well of course Nichole asks: Is there a pizza dough recipe? Jen Dubé-Smith posts one (insert graphic here) I use my Kitchenaid stand mixer but you can do it by hand. I have a busted wrist so I can’t hand knead.
