It's crazy that nobody talks about this in bread recipes

  1. Good, BUT….don't you think it's better to heat or NOT heat the water to get a proper dough temperature? End up with a 74-78 dough tempurature and you'll be good. Slightly warmer for cold room. Slightly colder for warm room. This is crucial if you want consistent rise times.

  2. Whenever it’s cold enough to have the windows down and heat on, my house is at 60F/15.5C. That section of your book was super helpful for planning adjustments to my bakes as a result. I’ve seen some other bakers online talk about temperature but I haven’t found anyone as stingy about heating costs as I am. 😂

    It’s definitely fun to see how different the timing of the same recipe is in the summer compared to winter!

  3. Totally agree. Am so grateful that you give out this reminder regarding ambient room temperature. And not just the room temperature of the kitchen in a house…I have always told other home bakers that humidity is important as well. We live in the tropical side of the world and this affects bread making as well.

  4. Thank you so very much for talking about this.
    I thought that I had failed because my recipes took so much longer to rise.

    I'm still learning and can't thank you enough for the recipes, tips, and videos you have shared with us all.

    Now I know which book will be my first for bread baking.

  5. I actually got a humidifier for my plants but now I use it for my starter because it tells the temperature as well. Im still in the process of making my starter!
    My loaf will be easier once I know my starter is ready and tell the temperature how long it’ll take to bulk ferment

  6. Baked your multi seed bloomer today and my kitchen was 17 degrees C. First rise very little, ditto second but I followed timings and hay presto – tiny bloomers. Tomorrow I will try again and leave them longer to see what happens.

  7. And regarding your topic of this video, you were the only one I learned that from because I had such a difficulty waiting for my dough to puff up. Not realizing that temperature had everything to do with it and once I learned this from you, I had great success, thank you so much for discussing the importance of this issue. ❌⭕️🙏🏽♥️
