What did Joe ever do to Dan?
i just did it for fun….
So, if your loaf is overproofed, what do you do?
Love learning from your wonderfully informative channel! Thank you 😊
Great analogy. Hilarious!
Love Dan <3
They didn't need to rent a bouncy house, they coulda just filmed me on my bed.
OK, no one is asking how Joe is? Does he get hazard pay for this? No wonder he's become an expert in making cocktails…must need a few after a day's work 😉
I want Joe's job! 😂
Is this guy chewing?
Did the same rules apply for pizza Dough?
ATK is not good with bread baking. Leave this for the King Authur Baking Company Channel.
Thank you, Daniel, always a teaching moment. Should have you your own show.
An experienced Baker can just give the pan a well placed jiggle and tell if the dough is properly proofed.
At least that's how I been doin it for 40 years.
Dan, you can poke my loaf anytime….
I still don’t fully understand
HAHAHAHA! Long-suffering Joe is such a sport. I'd do pretty much anything to work with Dan, too! 😉
Like the production value..
You guys did this bit so you had an excuse to rent a bouncy castle, didn't you?
Now I want a bounce house….looks like fun and weather is great for it today. Charles
Because the Pillsbury Dough Boy taught me too!!!
Love your gluten free cookbooks… can you make more gluten free videos?
Thank you so much this is so helpful!
Poor Joe! Nonetheless, he and Dan make the best flavor combination.
Cause it's fun, duuuuuh! 😁
Poor Joe: deflated again.
It's also fun to do
I'd like to know why we punch down the bowl of dough after the first rest
Your explanation was very helpful.
I love this channel.
I hope the bouncy house is a permanent fixture at ATK and not just a one-off prop. I think Bridget and Julia should do their generic YT sign offs from there.
Great! But, what measurement do you use if you're baking gluten-free bread? How does this interpretation change?
Oooh first comment!!! Finally!!! Question, how do I know my dough is thoroughly kneaded
