1 00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:05,310 What do you need to make or bread here are all the basic necessities of what you need in order to make 2 00:00:05,310 --> 00:00:09,360 bread, the first and foremost is all purpose flour pay all purpose. 3 00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,960 Flour is great for making breads as well as other things. 4 00:00:13,470 --> 00:00:15,380 Some people will tell you that you have to have bread, flour. 5 00:00:15,390 --> 00:00:20,070 But look, I'm telling you, I've made the delicious breads with just the regular All-Purpose Flour, 6 00:00:20,340 --> 00:00:24,990 and no one can tell the difference between that or the bread flour. 7 00:00:25,590 --> 00:00:30,510 You might after many, many years of working with the flour and but really in the beginning when you're 8 00:00:30,510 --> 00:00:32,160 first working, just got all purpose flour. 9 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:38,030 I find it to be a little bit easier to work with in the beginning and also need some all purpose flour. 10 00:00:38,460 --> 00:00:40,110 You also need some salts. 11 00:00:40,470 --> 00:00:43,800 I like to use these salts, but any any sort of salt will work. 12 00:00:44,620 --> 00:00:47,160 One of the most important things you need will be a scale. 13 00:00:47,370 --> 00:00:53,400 We are going to measure everything rather than do things by by volumetric measures. 14 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,600 I do have a measuring cup here just to kind of show that we are going to need some sort of container 15 00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,160 to pour water from. 16 00:00:59,370 --> 00:01:02,310 But really we're going to do all of our measuring on the scale. 17 00:01:02,310 --> 00:01:04,770 A scale is absolutely required. 18 00:01:04,890 --> 00:01:10,710 If you want to get consistent, delicious results, all the recipes that we're going to give are given 19 00:01:10,710 --> 00:01:16,410 in grams and they're going to be using what's called a baker's percentage. 20 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:18,900 You also will absolutely need a starter. 21 00:01:18,930 --> 00:01:20,790 This is a starter that I just fed. 22 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:22,950 So it's not ready to use quite yet. 23 00:01:22,950 --> 00:01:24,210 But you will need your starter. 24 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,670 You can get some for free or you can buy some online. 25 00:01:27,450 --> 00:01:28,890 We have a video on that. 26 00:01:29,730 --> 00:01:36,240 You will also need an alarm, which this is basically just a double sided razor that you can get pretty, 27 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:37,470 pretty inexpensively. 28 00:01:37,470 --> 00:01:45,100 And I just took a little popsicle stick that I cut down and I just put that razor inside the popsicle. 29 00:01:45,330 --> 00:01:46,380 Be really, really careful. 30 00:01:46,380 --> 00:01:47,400 This is super sharp. 31 00:01:47,700 --> 00:01:54,750 What this is used for is just before you cook your bread, you'll slice the very top layer of the bread, 32 00:01:54,930 --> 00:01:59,460 which will allow some of the steam and gas to evaporate from the inside the bread. 33 00:01:59,460 --> 00:02:01,860 And it will give it a really nice, beautiful rise. 34 00:02:01,860 --> 00:02:07,320 And it gives it that really interesting crust that you see in those bakery type breads. 35 00:02:07,650 --> 00:02:10,590 And that package looks like that if you wanted to take a look. 36 00:02:10,590 --> 00:02:11,880 So it's just a double edged razor. 37 00:02:13,710 --> 00:02:15,270 You probably don't have a bench knife. 38 00:02:15,780 --> 00:02:17,340 This might be something you need to buy. 39 00:02:17,340 --> 00:02:19,770 I bought this, I think, in my local dollar store for a dollar. 40 00:02:19,980 --> 00:02:21,690 You don't need anything that's really fancy. 41 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:27,990 This is really useful for cleaning up the surface of your countertops as well as lifting and flipping. 42 00:02:28,290 --> 00:02:30,630 So this is also another really useful tool. 43 00:02:31,230 --> 00:02:35,040 The other things that you will probably will need or that you probably have in your house that you can 44 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:36,540 use is a crockpot. 45 00:02:36,930 --> 00:02:44,370 So this crockpot here is is really, really great tool to make sure that your bread rises consistently 46 00:02:44,370 --> 00:02:47,280 and gives you that beautiful caramelization that you see on the outside. 47 00:02:47,610 --> 00:02:52,950 This is how you can replicate what a professional bakers oven does at home. 48 00:02:53,370 --> 00:02:59,820 So this is going to allow you to capture the steam, the water that's already inside the dough and then 49 00:02:59,820 --> 00:03:06,510 use that to help you cook a oven that Baker uses will actually inject steam while it's cooking. 50 00:03:06,510 --> 00:03:08,910 So this is probably the closest thing you can get to do that. 51 00:03:09,210 --> 00:03:15,060 And then what I also do is I like to use parchment paper and I use this just as a way to help lower 52 00:03:15,450 --> 00:03:20,640 the dough inside my crockpot because I don't want to burn my hands and also makes it really easy to 53 00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:21,510 pull out as well. 54 00:03:21,780 --> 00:03:28,230 And there's one more type of crockpot that I will order and purchase and show you that I see a lot of 55 00:03:28,230 --> 00:03:29,160 other people using. 56 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:33,690 I think it might be a little bit better than this, but this is what I've been using for years. 57 00:03:33,690 --> 00:03:36,900 So, you know, that's that's what I'll show you when I get the other one in. 58 00:03:36,900 --> 00:03:38,400 I'll show you how to use that one as well. 59 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,970 Of course, there's one more thing that you'll need, which is, of course, a mixing bowl. 60 00:03:42,090 --> 00:03:44,130 If you have one that has a cover, great. 61 00:03:44,130 --> 00:03:47,490 If not, then you can just use some cellophane to cover your bowl. 62 00:03:49,230 --> 00:03:50,850 So that's really all you need to get started. 63 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,850 So why don't you get all your all your utensils out and let's get going?
