Shaping Sourdough Loaves

[mrcegodepenas]

How much flower should i add to the starter, when mixing the dough?

Thanks again

[mrcegodepenas]

Hello...

What makes the bread fluff (Airy).

Do you ad any thing to it besides the starter.

My bread always became very dense.

Thank you

[iironwarrior]

You are the first person I have seen on youtube that makes sourdough bread like a pro and knows what you are doing. Great video thanks!

[IlOIlOIl]

can you become my second mother please? :)

[azt3c]

hi, i've seen on your blog, that you use a machine to mix the ingredients, how is it called ?

[NorthwestSourdough]

@azt3c I used a ktech or a blendtec, but I haven't used a mixer for over two years, preferring to use my hands and a dough folding trough.

Also, when scoring, try holding the blade at a slight angle, so you can get a nice lip to the slice when it bakes, and springs in the oven.

[EpicSkier556]

It's not pronounced Bouly. It's just Boule (Bool). And when you bake it you want the seam side down, so it doesn't explode in the oven.

[connaultnicolas]

Teresa, are you using wholemeal flour?

[NorthwestSourdough]

@connaultnicolas It's been a while since I made this video, but I believe it was a white dough with some rye and whole wheat added.

this was a fantastic video, thank you teresa! i am learning how to make sourdough the new old-fashioned DIY way....by spending a ton of time researching on the internet! your instruction and teaching style is one of the best gems so far.

[SilvaraRoog]

its just facinating! thank u, this is what I have been looking for!

[DJKJSeph]

You sound like Ellen Degeneres

[eljeromme]

oh my god, this is so exciting.. i've never made any bread, well once i tryed it but it was a total poor chapter except the appereance. i'd be so glad to hear some advice from you Madam, and maybe you could tell me where can i get the information i need to start learning. thanks! Jerömme.

[4vermont]

Great Video!!  Thanks

[bc6666]

Great video! You just taught me couple important things here.

But just one thing, as a native french speaker, boule does not sound like "boully" or "bullee", but more like "bull" no eeh sound at the end :)

[connaultnicolas]

@bc6666 As a native French speaker I concur with you! Nonetheless, this is a brilliant video on shaping!

[AubergeLeveque]

Bravo! A really good vid, many thanks.

[clawhammer72]

Thank You! This is the clearest shaping video I've seen. I just shaped two boules and it worked just like you showed. That's a first for me. I appreciate your willingness and ability to share your bread shaping knowledge.

[breadmeee]

thanks for the clear video! what hydration is this dough?

[daveschreck]

very very helpful. Thanks for taking the time to make this instructional!

[cammicty]

Do you have a Wood oven? Also do you have recipes for a simple yet good starter, and how to make your bread once the Starter is completed.

[jcadavi7]

Thanks a lot! I was looking for an informative video on how to shape a boule and this is great!

[AbstractMan23]

great video thanks a lot!

[crancki]

bravooooo...bravisimo

you did such a good job

i grew up with sourdough but did not have it for at least 20 years now..........i dont know what happened

[reddawglover]

Thanks so much for such an informative and well thought out video. Hope you do lots more!

[ElPiconeroalCognac]

Finally, a really good batard-shaping video! Thank you!

[ericwarrenstucki]

Proofing nix banneton? any suggestions? plus maybe some insight on the variable effects on crust development? Thank you for your videos I would pay if I could!

[Malook83]

Your bread looks so lovely. Thank you for sharing your techniques! I'll try them today :) Do you have a site where you share your bread recipes?

[derbst123]

Very clear and instructive, thanks! "Boule" is pronounced "bool", though, not "boolee"!

[AbstractMan23]

i think you're right

[LisaPA]

Also, lame is pronounced "lahm", not lam-ay like the fabric. Jealous of your expert and confident shaping skills.

[jkkirk88888888]

Thanks for sharing this Teresa! I was looking for info on shaping a boule. This is the clearest online video I've found. I am new to sourdough, and so seeing the texture of your dough, exactly how much flour to use to dust, using the scraper, not cutting to deeply helped me very much. The pace was just right. I could see clearly what you were doing. Thanks again!

[NorthwestSourdough]

You are welcome, I am glad you found the sourdough technique videos of use in your baking and I appreciate your comments, Teresa
