Good Eats S8E19P2: Dr. Strangeloaf

[babysnaker64]

I'm trying my best to be understanding. Why do you dislike this fellow tubers?

6 possible reasons for the 6 dislikers:

1) You have a gluten allergy.

2) Your father punished you as a child by force feeding you flour. (yuck)

3) Alton Brown slept with your girlfriend. Sorry.

4) You hate yeast, or fungi in general. You can't love anything with a tough cellular wall. Um, ok.

5) Everyone loves bread, and you love being contrary. Fucking hipsters...

6) Pure jealousy.

I'm with you there brother.

[SRVjediknight]

Belive me it has takin me years to turn out good bread ...this would be average at best ;0

[Lpedraja2002]

Wow thank you so much for this. I see that you have uploaded a lot of Good Eat episodes, thank you very very much for that too. You've made 1 person happy today for every episode available. :)

[MOZ1998]

OMG this bread looks so delicious

[username14657]

I love this guy

[RainbowTuna]

lol the thought of actually doing all these steps makes me tired.

[mr13579100]

there is alot of punching in this show.

[mr13579100]

"shakin not stired" hahaha

[Zidana123]

Willing to try living on bread alone, Alton? Enjoy your scurvy! :p

[wcmedows]

@Zidana123 Clearly you haven't seen the citris bread he appears to make offline... ;)

[Zidana123]

@wcmedows Huh. That actually sounds like some pretty...

*music starts*

[killerdustbunnies]

if you dont have a cookie sheet without edges just take your regular cookie sheet and flip it upside down and Voila!! no edges

[some5672]

that's a load of time for a loaf of bread yo.

[LinksLove]

Oh man, I have GOT to try this recipe *drool* I love homemade baked goods!

[CursedEyes24]

Wow Alton. you have me drooling over a loaf of bread for crying out loud.

Time to watch more Good Eats!

[Bmaster25]

2:40-2:58

Was that the Monty Python theme song?

[SabbyGuy09]

yes, it was. But, when asked to describe his show the answer was "one part Julia Child, one part Mr. Wizard, and one part Monty Python."

I think it would be great if Terry Gilliam would do an animation sequence for the show just once.

[nicholassz]

does anyone know if whole wheat flour can be substituted for normal white flour in this recipe?

[DisturbingClown]

You can but no more than half of the flour should be replaced. You need some regular white flour to get a good rise. I'd start with replacing maybe a quarter of the white flour with whole wheat.

[Jsuarez6]

Made a loaf using this recipe. Very good results. I would recommend adding 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the dough just before mixing. It will help you handle the dough much better (it won't be as sticky).

[SpaceKace01]

'son of blob' hahaha.

[CrazyK87]

Is this sourdough bread? If not, what do we do different to make it sourdough?

If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated!! =]

[hoodedraider]

if you want sourdough bread you dont use yeast, you use the fermentation of the flour..

you get fermentation of flour by adding flour to water and let it stand overnight, add more water let it stand another night.

thats how i learned it at school at least.

google for a recipe

[belcab]

That last 10 seconds where he shows us the bread almost made me cry. I want a nice big loaf of homemade bread to bite into....

(Quiet sobbing)

[AJMWriter]

There there, my friend! Don't worry, there is plenty of bread to go around! I'd send you a lovely, crusty loaf if I could! Nothing better than a slice of homemade bread and a bit of butter. =)

[martiners]

so you can bake but turn retarded when you need to spell? what are you trying to be, cute? funny? approachable? fail on all counts. or is it countz?

retard....

[drakendrones]

martiners...why do you care about what and how I type? this comment was only and only for video...not for wierdos like you!

[Alex052480]

damn.. this is a long ass process, U CAN GET JUST AS GOOD FRESH BAKED LOAF AT THE MARKET, CANT U !?, i mean he musta rested that shit for like few hours!, back and forth bak n forth lolo

[Duterasemis]

No, you can't. Unless you get there right when it gets out of the oven and eat it right away it will never be as fresh as stuff you made yourself.

[Crimsanity]

It's true that Artisan breads are delicious but the smell of a freshly baked loaf in your house, or the warm, softness of homemade bread.

[wholeNwon]

I've made my own bread for many years. An important part of the process for me is kneading by hand. It's relaxing, pleasant...sort of an organic experience. I have yet to be able to wait for the loaf to cool before tasting it. Guess I'm not as strong a man as I like to think.

I would be concerned, however, about the safety of using unglazed clay not intended for food in the baking process. Heavy metals, volatile industrial chemicals, etc. might well be present.

[Isolder74]

it's great stress releif

[drakendrones]

y r the oven-proof pots so expensive? :-( i wish they were cheaper so dat i cud afford 1... i have baking trays...will they work as well?

[PraiseDivineMercy]

Agreed on both points. Kneading by hand is the fun part of making bread. As for using the clay pan, I wonder if it would work as well covered in foil?

[Willmediaworks]

Tin foil won't do as it gives off it's heat too fast while the clay pan or any clay tile you could find in the hardware store will keep the heat and gradually release it.

[PraiseDivineMercy]

I meant covering the clay tile in foil to avoid possible lead poisoning.

[dekonfrost7]

thats why he said unglazed..the lead is in the glazing..not the clay

[khesed]

Again with "Is it safe"

[khesed]

Did he actually say "give it a little hell?"

[Isolder74]

help he said help

[acanthopleura]

this is the one episode I wish he'd used his hands instead of that dough machine

[Doza130]

Why? A mixer is a godsend.

[gardenwife]

I wish he had shown both methods. Everyone should learn how to knead dough. It is great he showed the windowpane technique for testing the dough and how to fold the dough, though. That was very helpful to see rather than just read about somewhere.

[jhooty14]

what was the temp of oven

[Doughnutchef]

You autolyse before you add anything to the flour and water.

[64blackbird92]

I've found with my oven that I have to put aluminum foil "armor" over the loaf about a third of the way into the baking time, because the crust has browned sufficiently by that point and it will burn otherwise.

Even when the top crust was burned, though, the rest of the bread was good. I like this recipe. :)

[AliMcCann1010101]

Put it lower in the oven. Also, get a thermometer.

[SpiritBear12]

Dang, we need "smell-a-vision"!

This episode makes me want a nice fat slab of that bread! I'm not even much of a fan of bread, but home made bread is a whole other matter all together. Mmmmmm, looks soooo good!

I liked his method of using a terracotta flower pot tray as a pizza stone. An excellent idea! I'll have to get one!

[shufk77]

squeeze ur cheek. thats what dough should feel like.

[Skoben2000]

Which one? LMAO LOL

[shufk77]

HA your face cheek.... well maybe both..

[ebwarg]

Stubbly?

[khesed]

And once again the Sousa piece made famous by MPFC

[sklikizos]

its actually centrifugal. Centripetal is the force that is directed toward the center (what keeps the bread stuck to the hook), while centrifugal points away, as seen when the bread flies away from the hook.

[KenC411]

centrifugal force does not exist. Centripetal force is the force that balances out rotational momentum. Since the bread does not poses enough force to stay stationary, it is thrown out. A cruel mistress.

[khesed]

*redirects you and sklik to XKCD*

[krazykyuubilv2]

YES!!!

[r2dxhate]

@KenC411

centrifugal force is "The apparent force, equal and opposite to the centripetal force, drawing a rotating body away from the center of rotation, caused by the inertia of the body. "

it exists but centripetal is like an orbit and centrifugal is like an spiral escaping orbit.

[museerouge]

@KenC411 - "A laughable claim, Mister Bond, perpetuated by overzealous teachers of science. Simply construct Newton's laws in a rotating system and you will see a centrifugal force term appear plain as day."

[shufk77]

shut up u feltcher

[thehotsixer]

i love bread

[jbrockviddude]

i visited paris once... when you wake in the morning and go outside, the smells from the corner bakers is enough to make your mouth water. my girlfriend ate bread the entire time we were there. literaly!

[Chilax]

ha he was acting the hot bread part

[jolivore]

Not so, about Tuscan bread. I've spent a lot of time there: the first time, the bread was as you say, dull. But the last time, after years of eating Tuscan food at home and appreciating it more when i was there, the bread was great. It was the bread indigenous to the food; they good together.

[BigStupidFingers]

I can vouch for the no salt in the bread because tuscan bread, that is bread from tuscany, is not salted, and it tastes... not as good as say roman bread that is salted!

[Lollypopluvy]

Retard the fermentation XD

[Theareen]

flying circus theme spng

[khesed]

i just noticed that! i wonder what that song is called...

[blix797]

"Liberty Bell March" by John Phillip Souza.

[Lollypopluvy]

I think he really likes Monty python, theres alot of references to it.
