164: How to get BONUS Shaping Practice from your WEEKLY Bake - Bake with Jack 

I'm a professional baker in Austin, TX. Any time people ask me about home baking, I recommend your channel. Honestly, I find home baking a bit of a challenge without my pro equipment. I've learned a lot here myself. Thank you for the great content.

Thank you chef🎯 next time could you please add the images of the breads shown in your video ...this will help us to understand the final results 🙏

My husband and I feed the homeless and in the winter I try to make mini loaves of bread to take them. We keep them warm and they usually hold them until they are cold and then they eat them. It serves two purposes. Keeps their hands warm while filling their tummies. LoL

You are us with a little more practice? We should be so lucky to be as talented, skilled and personable as you mate!

There needs to be a love button! 💞

I desperately NEED to see how the mini loaves turned out after baking!!!

Thank you for all your great content. I have learned a lot from your channel. I just watched this video, and I was really wanting to see how those tiny loaves looked after baking. Just a suggestion, but I think it would be great, no matter the subject of the video, that you show final baked product every time. Even if just for a couple of seconds. Every good story has a good ending, and I can’t think of a better ending to any your videos, other than a quick shot of the final baked product!

You are so right, practice practice practice! Is it just me, I would have loved seeing those loafs baked at the end, lol. You are always so informative, you make learning fun.

Is there anybody else out there who watches Jack’s videos when you just need to relax and chill?

Thank you Jack for this video.. everything is in here..motivation, inspiration, baking and most importantly you are here for us🤗🙈

I have a Bake with Jack folder for my fav Bake with Jack videos. This one made the folder. Such simple advice but sooooo useful.

My husband is the only person in the house able to eat gluten but I'm making loaves left, right and centre. No idea what they taste like, but I can't stop. So relaxing. Thank you, Jack.

You are my Hero. I have shared your videos with everyone. I even have notes written and stared. Well you will ptobably never read this. Thank you. You are the Best.

I would have loved to see the result of those tiny ones baked!

LOVED it Jack! Sometimes the simplest concept is the most elusive. Keep this style of teaching! That and your humble entertaining nature is what makes you a cut above all others. ❤

You are such a wicked presenter...such a communicator really witness on the internet. Learn so much on each of your vids. I am a newbie and have yet to bake a thing.

Oh, c‘mon! you have to show us at least one picture with the baked loafs/miniloafs. It‘s just so unsatisfying not to see those delicious (mini)breads 😩

Jack, I think there is a consensus here that we want to see the finished 'baked' article, because let's face it the end result i.e. how they look baked, is affected by the shaping, especially if not in a tin. Very useful video though as always.

You continue to amaze and to teach us how to become better at our home baking craft. God Bless Jack! Cheers Blair

On your back and FLAT, FLAT, FLAT, STRETCH-SLAP-SLAP, FLIP-FLOP, TOP DOWN and ROLL-PUSH, POLL-PUSH, POLL-PUSH, ROLL. And again !.... I'll never forget.

An excellent reminder Jack. You still make it look so quick and easy. For anyone worried about a mess on the table, get a plastic or silicone baking mat. If it’s rigid it can be kept, say, on end between fridge and wall. Floppy silicone ones can be rolled up.

Those mini-loaves are genius. I'll have to try some of those with my next sandwich loaf. Thank you.

Thanks Jack! You inspired me and a lot of people to tackle bread making. Practice does make perfect but I am sure I will have a ton practices before I can be a sous You! Thanks!

Bread making is therapy, well it is for me. I make two loaves a week minimum, plus pizza doughs and other goodies. I'll be as good as you soon Jack

Thanks Jack! Though you make is look so easy, I’m definitely gonna practice with the little loaves. Love your “roll push, roll push, roll push 🥰

Or take those minis and stand them on end together in that loaf pan, drizzle with a little butter, and bake them. 😁

Great idea. How long would you cook the small loaves?

Thanks for the video Jack.

Very useful advice. TYVM.

Thanks Jack. Great tutorial as always!

Such a great suggestion for practicing. I learn so much. THANK YOU.

Omg this is brilliant. Will be doing this this weekend!

You are amazing really

Thanks Jack.😊👍

Oh man show the baked bread! I wanna see how they turn out when you roll them this way and that way and whatever way.

Hello Jack, I have just joined your channel and made a white loaf by looking at your earlier videos. Can you please let me know if you have done a video on making crumpets ?? I would like to give these a go, thanks Buddy.

You Were Made for You Tube!

hello jack! thanks for your video. it is nice to see people who have table for making bread. since I live in country where bread is uncommon and we eat rice more. there is no place for making bread in my home kitchen, and when I make it in table my mom keep complaining that it is dirty and refuse to eat. even after I clean the hell of that table surface.

You make that look so easy 😂

New subbie here; will be binge watching!!!..Sent by David G

Good video!

Assuming the usual temperature in a preheated oven (with fan), how long should I bake the little practice loaves and have them come out edible? Seems to me the normal 15 minutes at 460F / 30 minutes at 380F would turn them into hard, sharp little weapons better suited to throwing than eating.

Acoustic foam!

Great advice. BTW how do you freeze your bread dough? is it as simple as doing the final shaping and then popping it into the freezer until solid and then tightly wrapping in butcher paper or vacuum seal it in a bag and storing in the freezer? Then for baking you take it out and place it on the counter to defrost and do the final rise and bake? Thanks

Thanks again Jack. Some time ago you had a video about the loaf tins. I managed to get one small one. For some reason the more higher tins are really hard to get her on the continent. Any idea where I could buy them, maybe in you shop?

woo!

Hey Jack, great video. I have a question about shaping for baking in a tin. I have had good success with the shaping for the tin but I need to eliminate that dome in the middle of the bread so that all the bread will be the same size and shape. I'm baking a sourdough sandwich loaf. I've thought of using a pullman loaf pan but I don't want square bread. If I'm not clear, I'm talking about the way the bread seems to rise more in the center of the loaf and less at the ends of the loaf. I need to get consistent size bread throughout the loaf. Damn that was a lot of words....I'd love to know if you have any suggestions. Thanks much. Great to see you back in action. Good luck with that book!!!

Can you make a low carb bread for diabetic people😊

Hi Jack, I have a question for you that has been niggling me for many months - is there a point that the yeast in bread dough after a number of rising and knock backs ceases to work as it has exhausted all the sugars in the dough? I ask this because after my dough is mixed I cover it and keep it over night in the fridge. During this time the dough continues to rise, which I knock back a few times. Next morning I knock back the dough again and allow it to rise to room temperature knock back and shape either for rolls or bread. Am I exhausting the rising ability of the yeast? Help!!

I wanna see the baby loaves baked and hear the baby crust cut and see the baby crumb…

Jack I hate to tell you this but I pull, roll, pull, roll, pull, roll, pull. Just seems more natural to me. It does get the job done though so that's what counts.

What else is there to do at 2 o'clock in the morning, right!? hahaha

Love your video jack, very sincere in the knowledge only with one complain, your constant sudden turn and look on your right drives me crazy😂

First :)
