Gluten morning!
2
It is so so cold.
3
Today is a prep day which means the ovens are not on.
4
Alright, let's get baking.
5
Although working in a freezing bakery isn't exactly the best, it is very helpful when it comes to making pastry, as I can keep the butter cold and stop it from melting into the dough.
6
I could not be a drummer.
7
I don't know how they do it.
8
Anyway, this is the croissant dough.
9
Fun little fact, croissant dough doesn't actually have any fat in it, or mine doesn't, until I then add the butter and then it does have a little bit of fat in it.
10
These are both plain, but this one is a chocolate one, which I'm so excited about.
11
So every baker has a different technique with their croissant dough, but the way I do it is I do two brick folds.
12
So a brick fold kind of looks like this.
13
So you take the end and you fold it like over two thirds, and then you take the other end and you fold it over a third, and then you just fold it over itself.
14
So this creates four layers of dough and then the butter is sandwiched inside it.
15
So that's how you get all those like flaky layers of pastry.
16
Just butter and dough and butter and dough.
17
Yeah.
18
Whilst the croissant dough has a little rest in the fridge, I make the brownies.
19
If you fancy watching how I made these, I put them in my video last week.
20
For the cherries I'm using sour cherries which I brought frozen and then I defrosted and I drained the juice because I wanted them to be soft but not too watery but also not too chewy.
21
I'm so excited.
22
For some reason I take it upon myself to lift both trays of whatever it is, buns and pastries at the same time.
23
There is no point to it.
24
Again this is so unnecessary but it's such a good challenge.
25
Last week a lovely family came to visit the bakery.
26
They owned a small holding in Croatia and made the most incredible blueberry jam from Japanese blueberries which is what I'm using now for this blueberry and lemon babka.
27
This could get quite messy.
28
Okay so good so far.
29
All right it's looking it's looking good touch red.
30
Wait I'll show you.
31
I hope you saw.
32
Now I'm gonna braid it.
33
Hopefully I can braid it better than I braid my hair.
34
You're looking at it from a distance but it's not good up close.
35
Like the buns and the pastries, all the bread goes into the fridge to be baked the next day.
36
That was quite satisfying.
37
Okay, now it's time for the fun part.
38
I'm just gonna scooch you over there.
39
Wait do you guys want to see this bit?
40
Okay I hope you can see.
41
But in case you can't see and you wear glasses, people who wear glasses are the coolest.
42
This is just potato, like cheesy mashed potato, and ricotta and chives and garlic because garlic cheese and potatoes just you can't beat it.
43
and it's gonna skip.
44
Voila.
45
Don't worry, I didn't forget about this fella.
46
It's just, this is a new recipe and it's very important to do a little bit of quality control.
47
It looks so good.
48
I'm gonna go make myself a cup of tea to have with it because you can't not have tea with
49
carbs it's just it's such a good combination in case you fancy making these buns yourself the free recipe is up on my sub stack i cut it when it's still very warm but look at that
50
I'm not sure why but I fully dressed like a smurf today I mean there's a lot of blue going on that is the day done but now I'm very cold and I need some hot food
51
I'm so excited about these fellas.
52
I do not have a fancy proving machine so instead I put all the pastries and buns in the convection oven at a low temperature to warm up.
53
I score and load the deck oven with all the bread.
54
Honestly, I'm not sure how awake I am.
55
I reckon a solid 65%, but there aren't a lot of brain cells working at this point in the morning.
56
I like to give all the loaves a little water spray before they start baking so you know they're nicely hydrated which kind of reminds me I need to hydrate myself.
57
There is a lot of bread to bake in the morning so each deck will probably do around three rounds of bread and 12 loaves go into each round.
58
Whilst everything is either cooling or baking I glaze all the buns.
59
as you can see I'm very happy with the bread then I dimple the focaccia and realize I'm matching with the Maldon sea salt
60
Finally, all the bread is out and now I can just have a little bit of time to rest and enjoy the sun.
61
Meanwhile the buns come out and I can start glazing and decorating them.
62
Once everything is cooled we load up the breadmobile, do a wee bit of quality control, then set up shop and sell.
63
We have cheese and ham, we have brownies, we have croissant, we have Chelsea buns, we have cinnamon buns, we have marmite cheese,
64
we have jalapeno cheese, we have Nutella and pistachio, we have chocolate cherry, we have potato and garlic and chive, either in In bun form or in croissant form, I'm going to see the lemon bar.
65
Thank you.
66
Thank you for watching Gluten Bay.
67

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
