Bread Video Inspirations... from Pain de Campagne to Italian Ciabatta

Went out and bought some flour, and later some yeast.  Inspired to do this because....

Mom has this large TV in her den which I often use to watch Youtube.com and revisit older cooking shows ....  Martha Stewart, Jacque Pepin, Julia Childs, and such.

Recently, I watched Julia's bread show ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iH3hjDUhWw&t=1348s ).  The episode included a film clip from her days in Paris, a brief educational clip where she received instruction and collaboration from Professeur Raymond Calvel... He is the man who invented the autolyse method for bread making.

Julia's Bread Show is here, and Professeur Calvel is introduced about 13:26

"Remember, You're Making a Gluten Cloche"


As you know Youtube suggests additional videos for viewing on the bottom (or side) of the video one currently watches... well, I then Came across this video...

He held my attention by thoughtfully advising the different portions of salt usage:  kosher salt vs table salt...  you see, when one uses table salt, the iodine will react with the yeast differently...  and then I was certainly going to complete the video when he used the back side of the wooden spoon to stir.   "I use the handle of a wooden spoon to mix the dough, ... whatever YOU decide to use to mix the dough, whatever you do DONT USE A WHISK, ... You'll either break the whisk or break your wrist..."  oh and I thought how true...    so I continued to his next video
