2 Breads 1 Dough 

Once you have the mix times for the bassinage stages, it would be simple to set up a water injection system that meters the exact amount of water in as many stages as you like. Common to hydroponics and fairly cheap. I have been making sourdough breads for over 20 years as a hobby and it has been a fun journey. I wish I lived in your area so we could meet and talk bread.

Being a head baker, I have learned so much watching your journey in baking. I can't wait to see my friends in Phoenix and be able to taste this bread finally

If I lived in America i'd definately apply to work at Proof. I have learnt so much from your tutorials and have enjoyed watching you grow. Wonderful leadership!

Your discussion on dough strength development here and what you are looking for in the different stages I think is one of the best, if not the best most thorough explanation yet. Thx for doing this and sharing. 👍👍👍👍👍

A flour being 00 doesn’t necessarily mean that it is strong, it’s about how finely it’s ground and how little of the shell remains. The strength of the flour is unrelated.

Add a drip system like with a garden, pour in your measured amount in a hanging container and set it to drip in slowly over the course of 15 minutes

Each of these videos is a master class. Very enjoyable. It's making a difference in my home baking. Thanks!

Those ciabatte look so italian. Great color, shape and structure opening. I wish I could stuff one of them with tons of mortadella and burrata. Bravi.

The high speed for bassinage makes a lot of sense as it’s often done at high speed to quickly incorporate it into the dough and give the dough a lot of strength at the same time. Often it’s drizzled in while the mixer is running at the highest speed

amazing content, really love the videos!

I love every episode. I would enjoy a daily dose.

Jon. @proofbread You should ask who ever is helping you with your make up air issue about capping the bottom of those supply ducts, and adding " Linear diffusers " to those boxes. This will create a Plenum that will diffuse the airflow horizontally, closer to the ceiling. Giving the air, room to disperse above your head. Depending on cfm at the duct exit. 1 or 2 internal deflectors might be required. These will reduce sound decibels and just make the airflow more efficient overall. Ultimately this course of action would only require adjusting and adding too what is there and not relocating anything. Which would be more expensive. Good luck. let me know if you need a hand drawing to visualize.

I always learn so much from your videos. Thank you.

Wonderful result. Inspiration to do it at home!

God, that ciabatta at the end looked incredible.

Looks like you have a Baker on the team. Not everybody can bake. And there are bakers and Bakers. You seem to have hired a natural dough whisperer, though.

00 flour has nothing to do with the "finess" of the milling process, that is the size of the single granule of flour. In Italy the denomination of flours depends on how much of the wheat grain makes the final product: those are called the ash contents, because if you remove the endosperm, the actual source of carbs and gluten, you have the rest of the fibers, which make the ashes. Therefore the 00 flour is only endosperm flour. The 0, 1, 2, have increasingly more amounts of the germ (fully present in type 1), and of the bran, until the whole wheat flour (farina integrale), where the whole grain is milled. Obviously, the bran doesn't get as fine as the endosperm, being a thin layer of papery consistency, hence you can actually see it in type 2 flour. The only visible difference between the several types of flours is their color: the greater the number, the darker the flour and the final products. Then there's the other classification based on their strength, or protein content: weak, with a W of less than 200 (and protein content less than 9%), usually for cake and tarts, where one doesn't need a strong gluten web or no gluten development at all; medium, with a W of between 250-300 (less than 12%), where the majority of the products lie, since this strength can get fairly high hydration levels and longish fermentation times (less than 36h). Then, finally there is the strong flour, with W above 300 and protein contents above 12%: this type of strength is needed to make panettone, for example, a highly fatty dough, that has to withstand three days of mixing and fermentation, hence you need a strong gluten web. So in Italy you can get a X type Y flour, where X=[weak, medium, strong] and Y=[00, 0, 1, 2, whole wheat], as you can see in the shop of my favorite Italian mill: Bongiovanni Torino . IT :)

dave is extremely talented you scored with him

It looks delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!😋😋😋

underrated title

the higher mixing speeds definitely help the dough come together quicker

For what it’s worth, I ALWAYS put diastatic malt in pizza dough (for tenderness) and NEVER In Ciabatta. Now I will make sour dough and and ciabatta from the same dough.

"You see the structure of this ciabatta?" "That's sexy!" That hits home ;)

Thank you, Jonathan!

That ciabatta looks so good

Have to say your issues with makeup air are a great comment on the intricacies of workspace design. An interesting new dimension - who would have thought.

I would Love to See your SOP

❤Love sourdough bread! I have a que: how much active starter can I use for a small bread,like 2lb flour?

Love your style mate ! Can you tell us if you condition your water please.

Great video! What is the hydration of this dough?

What struck me in the first test video was that the "bassinage" fundmentally changed the nature of the dough. It seems to me that the bassinage should not fundamentally change the nature of the dough, it should be the last little boost to get it to where you want it. I use about 10% water for bassinage, easy to incorporate at once, though I make just one loaf for myself at a time.

I would pay $10.00 for this ciabatta instantly. Looks like 100% Pan de cristal.

You could also make an auto dribbler to do that for you, if it makes sense, it seems like it still wouldnt make sense to do that though.

How much increase in hydration did you get using basinage method ?

Nice

Bravo, Ciabatte superBelle...

The master dares to try speed 3. Lol

how long was the total mixing time ? i often gave up and continue with strecth & fold by hand

What does the basanage do?

Beautiful! Can you share the total percentages of all the ingredients?

Any recommendations for a good bread knife? I feel like I've never used a good one but that knife cut through that ciabatta no problem.

Breathing, Wheat & Rye flour is good or bad or Irrelevant?

I have a question please. After the 7th night of making the starter, I heard you. Could use the "throw away starter" it just kills me to not be able to use it..but it's there a recipe somewhere to make the pretzels out of it I hear about?

maybe filter over the end of those air ducts - diffuses air and filters it????

Why do you weigh the water ?

I've always wondered why you can't dissolve the salt in the bassinage water.

Isn’t pizza dough a much lower hydration so as to handle than Ciabatta dough which can be minimum 80%? I’d say ciabatta and focaccia dough are very similar.

That title LMAO

that title thou... xD

Maybe try Danish rye bread ?

ayy

The glues are go i us them

Now, if SD starter was just easier to maintain *sigh*.

Looks like a beautiful dough. What I don't understand why basic pizza strerching techniques are not used when forming into the pan? If the dough is properly stretched and dimpled with the fingers and then topped with sauce and baked you still woukd get a beautiful crumb. Add the remainder of toppings for the finish bake. Letting the dough rise in the pan without the proper forming, then baking it is like you are just putting toppings on Cibiatta bread. Doesn't look or feel like a pizza whatsoever.
