    Finally someone who actually explains autolyse, and doesn’t tell me it just does a bunch of magic and makes my bread amazing.

    I have done MANY autolyses of different kinds. I agree with you, salt nor yeast makes a difference in practice. I simply mix everything and let it sit for 20-25 minutes and it always comes out magnificent

    Are we just going to ignore the professor casually walking into work holding a baguette?

    I see Adam is going for the John Wick look

    Instructions unclear: dresser drawers now filled with flour paste, and my oven has been vomiting out t-shirts for the last 3 hours....

    My mom has been doing this for my entire life. She mixes the dough up, gives it a very light knead, then puts it in a bowl with a towel over it to 'pre-rise' for about a half hour. Pretty sure she's never heard of autolyse, it's just how her mom and grandma did it!

    Adam, I would be really interested to hear your take on the differences between jam/jelly/preserves/conserves/marmalade/fruit sauce, etc., and a brief history of jam too. (Perhaps paired with a jam, scone, and clotted cream recipe?).

    I really feel like Adam somehow manages to do being "lazy" in the most overachiever way
