Ok I'm 3 seconds into this video and I TRUST this guy to be a great baker already. You know why? He's got the build of someone that makes a LOT of bread (or maybe just works out, I dunno) but it's well documented that you get pretty frickin strong upper body from making bread. Anyway.. slightly random but thought I would comment. Hope this video helps me with shaping my baguettes.

Well I'm quoting Anthony Bourdain slightly when I say that... he joked in Paris never pick a drunken fight with a baker, huge upper body strength lol. And this video helped me a lot with my baguettes/ general bread shaping. I was overworking the dough after knocking it back/ shaping it.. Thanks for the helpful video.

Glad that video helped.  Sounds like some good advice from Bourdain. Happy Baking.

No problem... couldn't tell if you meant "funny guy" as in ha ha funny... or the other kind... Anyway, was just commenting for fun. Erm, have you ever made your own sour dough?

[markcsinclair]

Yeah, it was 'ha ha' funny guy. This bread isn't a sour dough, but some of the other ones I do are. They take a little more timing to get them right since they are more temperature sensitive.

Thanks! This is really helpful. I've just realised I'm not shaping quite right. Looking forward to trying out these techniques next time! :)
