» Proof Bread is a modern throwback to a way of life that values small-scale craftsmanship, local community, and creativity. We are a small group of passionate bakers working in our garage (thanks to cottage laws) which has been converted into a micro-bakery. Everything we bake is made by hand, from the best local ingredients, with no short cuts.

Jesus, these are the most intuitive hands I have seen. You're working magic with then loaves with no effort at all. Such a miracle to watch!
The way she does it makes it look so incredibly easy, this is just beautiful.
It is beautiful to watch but I just wish it was truly that effortless for me! With such beautifully rised loaves of course she can flop them around while talking nonstop. Maybe that's the secret. I over-obsess about my shaping.
As someone who only uses whole meal, white flour is easy to work with.
@@maureenperez9999 I always mess it up when I get to shaping. :(
@@guyeshel9316 I used to have that problem too. I absolutely threw out at least 12 loaves of dough because it was too sticky for me to shape. I threw my SD starter out and stopped trying. No book worked for me. About a year later, I started watching videos from a baker in Germany. I realized I was trying too hard to shape the dough. That baker autolyses the flour/water for 2-12 hrs...depending on his daily routine...which makes the dough easy to "stretch and fold". The gamechanger for me is an "old-school" pastry mat that has been sold for over 70 yrs...at least. It sticks to the counter, allows tension while shaping the dough, is plenty big for multiple loaves at a time...and folds neatly away for storage.
Sometimes if the dough is too sticky and difficult to shape, I will shake flour around the base of the dough to unstick it. Bread is still light and puffy if I don't over-flour the surface. The other gadget I found on Amazon...is a metal ball with holes which can be used to sprinkle powder sugar, or in my case...FLOUR. I can control the flow and amount without making the dough too dense. Works great for sprinkling flour in Bannettons, as well.
I can finally spend only 10 mts shaping the dough before putting it into basket for proofing overnight. So relieved. I hope this helps you and anyone who is struggling.
@@maureenperez9999 i can’t wait to try your “tips”!!!! I’m ready to give up! This is the second time I’ve revisited sour dough bread
I just started making sour dough this year and am not doing so well shaping. I can’t wait for the day I make a loaf that’s beautiful inside and out and tastes delicious Loved this video.
Wishing you the best of luck!! Just take it slow, remember to be nice to yourself (and your starter), and keep trying! You will get it. I think it takes 100s of loaves to get the feel for what you like. If you have a local sourdough bakery, go see if you can hop in for a day to get loads of practice all at once. Shaping is such a meditation when you get there. ❤️
Watching Amanda scoring and talking in the scoring video completely fixed a problem I was having with my sourdough boules. The difference after learning from her was ginormous. Thank you for these videos!
Only a master would try to teach this way. (Do your own thing. Find your own way. Get to know your starter.) I watched several shaping videos, but knew this baker was a master after she shaped her first loaf. Thanks for sharing!
i wish this was longer… so soothing and warm, could watch it all day.
Ha. Maybe we should do a segment. Daily dough shaping with Amanda, a “breaditation”. 😂
« Shaping can be very meditative » ❤ she got my heart here
As a one year long sour dough baker, I love watching your videos and hearing all the comments. It really teaches me a lot. Thank you.
Amanda's Zen approach is an inspiration to me, I'm just starting and easily get frustrated when things don't go right. To let the dough dictate how you handle it is a great help for me, thank you!
Real Zen!
I'm just making my 4th loaf & still experimenting with shaping. My first batard looked great. The last two were not that great.
Amanda, this is one of my favourite videos you have done; the details on how to shape a loaf is so clear and well done. Of course we know you are so Flat out busy that it is hard for you to get the time to do these. It is like being mentored by you on this one. Thank you for sharing knowledge. Great job! I hope in future you will get time again once you have staff enough to do so. Have a good rest of your day.
Love the tips on rescuing product. I have always said, it’s not what you do when things are going well, it’s what you do when things are going wrong.
I could've kept listening for another day of this!
A bakers resume is their hands and head.
Beautiful to watch and i can tell you've done this many many thousands of times
“A bakers resume…” I love this.
I just started work at a bakery. I'm watching your videos to learn. Thank you!
I tried your shaping method, had the best oven spring ever, thank you
Honored!! 💗
So glad I came across this lesson. I’m intrigued by the big bowl of flour (is it rice flour) which saves on the fussy way of dusting the banneton. I love watching your confident handling of the dough. So inspiring. Thank you. 🙏 🌷😃
I came here to learn about making a better bread.. but i ended up learning about living a better life. Thank you Amanda
My pleasure!! Honored you found some bonus value. ❤️ Happy baking, my friend!
Now I know why I’ve been so drawn to your videos lately. Florence and the Machine oh hell yeah!❤
The one downside to being in a retail space now is that we can’t quite blast the music while shaping anymore without drowning out customer orders. Also, everything must be pretty PG. I often miss these days of jamming out to whatever I wanted (as loud as I wanted). 😂
Amanda is so helpful. I like her approach to dough shaping. She's definitely a Master.
Get out. This is so nice of you to say!! I feel like a forever student. Never master (but I’ll take the compliment, haha!).
Love watching you shape this bread.
Love doing it! This is probably one of my favorite parts of the sourdough baking process. ❤️ It’s just a time to jive around a table. Whether you’re doing it alone (meditation) or in community, it’s a great experience when you start to get in a groove.
Making bread, a symbol of life, is an art that nourishes the mind and body. Artisan bread creates a time bridge that unites us to our ancestors. Passing down the secrets of how artisan bread is made from generation to generation is a very important task. Respect and honor for all those bakers who dedicate their lives with passion, love and sacrifice to the art of baking. Cheers, Domenico.
I live in Karachi Pakistan I like your comments send 4 month ago
You’re wonderful!! Thank you!! I’ve been baking at home and needed instruction on shaping. This is a masterclass. Thank you again!
Thanks Amanda, we love your channel guys. You are helping us develop our skills.
This is the fourth time I have watched this video. My goodness you make it look so effortless.
Finally pulled it off today and it feels so good. Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge with us！
wow! it's like a master class to me
I bake sourdough bread at home for almost two years and still find a lot of interesting tips in your videos
Amanda, I appreciate your attitude and your philosophy. You Make bread the way I cook. It's from the heart it's an attitude it's a Feeling, no cookbook, just a lot of heart and a lot of practice
You make it look so effortless. Anyone who's touched dough knows it's anything but easy. Thousands of hours of shaping leading up to this -- beautiful video
I've never ever ever worked or touched white flour before, and have only ever baked with whole meal. But using white flour honestly looks 100x easier in every single case. I couldn't imagine how easy it'd be if I swapped to it.
@@softenbysam this is made with whole grain flour, just because the dough looks white doesn’t mean it’s white flour. If you’re American, you’re probably using just hard red wheat whole flour, which gives you that much darker color.
Out of all the sour dough shaping out there you are a master!! Just made my first sour dough loaf and ready to bake off in the morning!
You are an inspiration 🥖
Aw!!! I hope it was a success! And if not, don’t worry. That’s the beauty of this black hole that is sourdough baking. ❤️ Keep trying!
True artist. Love watching you work.
You make it look so easy! I love your videos.
I am so glad I found this channel. I am newer to making bread and sourdough bread. I enjoy watching the process to making and shaping of the bread.
I have been struggling with flat (albeit delicious) loaves. This is super helpful - thank you!
My go to video to learn how to fold bread dough. The effortless way she shapes the dough is just outstanding.
Happy to hear this is your go to! What an honor! 🥰
It is so incredibly relaxing to be watching and listening to this. Thank you for the good vibes.
You’re very welcome. ✌️&❤️
Just watching you handle the dough in the first 2 minutes changed my outlook on handling and shaping. In the past, I've approached the dough very carefully and gingerly and ended up getting it stuck everywhere it wasn't supposed to be. You look so relaxed and deft; this obviously isn't your first day. :)
Who knew I could learn many life lessons from just watching how to roll & shape bread. Thank you so much for that!! ❤️
Seriously though. I could listen to her all day. her attitude is like "I'm relaxed and confident because I know wtf I'm doing here". It's so amazing.
I think bread makers are my favorite types of people. I just baked my first sourdough round last weekend and it went well but I just learned a bunch of new things from this video to start thinking about. What a great video. Thank you!
you can tell shes done this millions of times! much respect
Thanks! It was actually quite hard for me to break it down to teach. lol. Even to this day!
I have been waiting for a video focused on shaping like this one. Thanks Amanda
Thank you so much for that lesson :)
I'm struggling with the shaping all the time :)
I think now it will be much better
So glad to hear I can find my own way to shape my loaves. Thank you.
Totally. It’s all about your own relationship to your heap of microorganisms. lol.
Baking bread is a lot like life
OMG that's shaping level: GOD. I'm pretty comfortable with my bread, but now I absolutely need to start shaping this way.
Love it, she adds another view of one lump of dough isn't the same fold as the next? "She's good at anything she does" certainly shows.
Hope it helps to show different ways of shaping!
Final shaping master class. Like a boss!
This instructor makes the technique look almost zen...a great guiet time activity. Then we get to bake!
Thank you
Really enjoyed watching you work. It was very helpful to simply watch you work. This video’s timing is perfect. I just got my starter going well and I’m struggling with shaping. Very helpful and wonderful commentary.
I'm a visual learner in many ways and getting to watch your work repeatedly while listening to your hints and commentary I found quite entertaining and informative. Thank you.
I think you have done PhD in bread making working 100 *100*100*100 hrs. Honing your skill. Now you ar my teacher. I have subscribed!
Great hands with the dough!!
Thank you 🙏 😊 🥖
Thanks Amanda your words and shaping technique are beautiful
I am so so impressed by the way you explain this hand craft. 👏👏👏👏👏😍
absolutely thrilling. and each one a little bit different and unique. beautiful.
Thank you for explaining this with such patience. You are giving us the opportunity to learn by watching & that’s actually pretty cool!
Thank you for adding the human factor as always and showing how real owning a bakery is not the glamorified t.v version.
Every other sourdough bread video tutorial scares you into being gentle with the dough during the shaping process yet here she has no problem slapping it down and folding it over and over again. No wonder my dough comes our flabby and shapeless! I now have renewed confidence when it comes to shaping the dough.
You are an excellent teacher ....
Skilled hands. Good stuff.
I love this pace! It's love, it time, it mediation :)
Thank you so much for the valuable tips on baking and specially the over proofing one. Take care
Real Professional at work...Toll!
Well this is actually one of the most informative videos on the subject I've seen...
The dough balls look so perfect
My new meditation video. So therapeutic watching and listening. Of course the information is priceless.
This was such an enjoyable video. I noticed you weren't pre-shaping the loaves all the same way and then you explained why. As someone new to this it blows my mind that you can talk on camera and mindlessly shape loaves with different techniques. I hope I'm that skilled one day! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
The lady is a philosopher..
My respect
She makes this look waaaaaaayyyy too easy... 👏👏👏
well just looking at this video was a meditative experience. beautiful
Another brilliant vid from Proof! Thanks.
I’m just finding this video in Feb 2022. The method is so relaxing.
You rock Amanda, on all levels
Wow I really liked this! When you explained why you were doing what you were doing, tucking in the ends and eliminating those wrinkles, you gained a subscriber. Well done.
This video was super helpful to improve my shaping techniques. Thank you. Fernando from Mendoza, Argentina.
You make it look easy but what a good way to teach thank you 😊
I like this video! Today, I have adopted your way of shaping the dough and very curious how it turns out tomorrow when I bake it. Thanks Amanda!
You are the best. Thanks for sharing your tips
Amazing mastery!
Great to watch smooth repetitious technique!
Wonderful tips! Especially liked that you should learn to read your dough so you know how to best roll it to get that final shape. Thanks so much for sharing your insights!
Thank you! This helps explain some of the things I have seen in some of my loaves.
I get what you are saying.. you are an artist, no doubt.. thank you
Glad to hear you’re picking up what I’m putting down. Hope it helped!
Wow! This was very helpful. Thank you!
You make that look soo easy. Thank you, huge help.
So glad to hear it helped! 🎉
Thank you for teaching me this!
Amanda I have seen a lot of CZcams bakers shape bread, some professional and others navies but good bakers none the less, I have also lived in France over 13 years with my family members and of whom owned their own Boulanger and I worked with them and learned a lot in break making. I too have shaped thousands of loaves and baguettes but I really like the way you brad shape your bread and I too don't like to leave the ends open and like you, I too fold them over. So many bakers could learn a LOT from this video.
Such utter skill and finesse. I really like how she connects the act of engaging in the activity to gaining a larger benefit beyond simply ending up with a perfect result. It's so true.
I wonder what the hydration level of that dough is.
I think its important to teach technique. Everyone's journey may be personal but you still can benefit from learning the RIGHT way.
Is there really a “right” way? Am I doing it right??
@@amandaabou-eid1873 you are a pro. I should have chosen my words more carefully. I meant to say that I’ve found teaching a technique (of which there are many) from start to finish often gives amateur bakers a good grounding.
Thank you for sharing the tips of shaping the dough, l from Borneo. That's is super awesome. Thank you .
I'm in the middle of a bulk ferment and I'm going to attempt this technique today. Wish me luck!
Love it! Especially after seeing so many bread baking youtubers telling me to be _extra_ careful when shaping so not to degas the dough. If this video does not prove that false I don't know what would 😃
love your style and the bread is beautiful too
beautiful craftsmanship
This really is an excellent video. Thank you!
Yes yes yes excited I think needs it's own reality tv show
Beautiful and organic method. Thank you for making this video.
Thanks for jiving with it. Hope it was enjoyable and maybe even helpful!
I so love this video !…so informative !…Ty for posting !
Very useful video. Thank You.
Great info and technique thank you
Such a relaxing and reassuring video - makes me realise I only have another 70 loaves to go before I've finally "got it". 😉
Great video. Thank you. I am really struggling with the final shaping.
