- We challenged chefs of three different skill levels - amateur John, home cook Gabi, and professional chef Sim Cass from the Institute of Culinary Education - to bake a fresh loaf of banana bread. Once each of them had presented their creation, we asked food scientist Rose to weigh-in on their choices. Which one of these beauties would you take a slice of first?

4 Levels of Banana Bread: Amateur to Food Scientist | Epicurious - Zábava
Level Three: I don’t wanna flex, but I am a bread god.
😂❤
the Dean of baking bread. I mean.......that's a title some people would die for
Im impressed they have a dean of baking bread. Like thats pretty specific
@@MrIrishpunk baking is a pretty big thing
AsItIsRequired AsItIsRequired it is and i have respect for all aspects of culinary. I was just shocked it is specifically Dean of Baking Bread not Dean of Baking
Level three: we're going to add a little rum
*Penny wants to know your location*
Oof
No it's more like
Ar3 YoU cHaLLaGINg Me
Penny has entered the chat 😂
Dude!!!!yass
He looks like Penny’s master
I really wish we got to see them trying each other’s lol
level 3 would implode upon the sight of level 1's
i so agree to this omg
@Bonnie
Why the useless and mundane "lol" at the end of your otherwise perfectly fine comment? Seriously, it's an epidemic of DUMBNESS with your generation. lol
@@lisahinton9682 this is a joke right? lol
@@urbancitrus6869 level 1 would wonder why level 3 made pineapple plantain bread instead of using the only ingredient explicitly stated in the title...
If quarantine baking has taught me anything, it’s that Gabrielle’s loaf fell because there’s no gluten to trap that co2 and get rise. I’m sure it was delicious, but the crumb immediately gives it away as gluten free. I’m disappointed our food scientist did not mention that, it’s kind of important.
Xanthan Gum is the way to go.
I don't know you'd make gluten free banana bread unless someone you know has Celiac
I also think the banana she put as a topping was a bit heavy and that's why it collapsed around the middle part
@@MalleusSemperVictor people believe it's more healthy. It's not and it's a pain to work with.. (my partner has celiac) however there's also people who are allergic to wheat.. It's not the same as celiac, but they tend to use a lot of the same flours.
I was diagnosed with celiac a couple months before Covid locked my state down. I’ve baked and cooked tons of things gluten free (cupcakes, double chocolate muffins, banana muffins, blondies, brownies, pizza dough, nuggets, pancakes, and of course, banana bread amongst other things), and all came out perfect! My bread didn’t cave in either! I’ve used Cup 4 Cup, Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1, King Arthur, and Krusteaz! All of them worked just fine and the King Arthur didn’t even have xantham gum like the others (so I have no idea how it worked- but it did thankfully!). Good gluten free baking is 100 percent possible 😁
“Put a little bit of rum, don’t go crazy”
Penny : 👁👄👁
Penny approval
Yassss
Yea funny3🤣🤣
🤣
mOiSt
Sim talks exactly how The Dean of Bread Baking would talk
I've never heard of it before hut i SWEAR that's the official sound.
bruh i just saw you on several AntCanada videos
found you again lol.
he has to be british!
I see you everywhere dude WHO ARE YOU ? My fbi agent..?
I love how everyone in the comments just supports Frank like it’s a religion
it IS a religion, frank for life
Kalinzia where’s the churches?
Minion Catapult the comment section
Ben Maschmann Internet churches?
Minion Catapult yeah what’s wrong with that?
This is the first time I didn't feel like the Level 3 chef didn't go overboard with their ingredients. Like every ingredient was meticulously placed at each interval and had value in the recipe. Instead of just adding flashy and fancy ingredients for the hell of it. You sir are a master of baking and have earned my respect.
Agreed
Except for maybe the starter. And the orange.
He even forgot to add coconut out of modesty
dawg he made banana bread with a yellow phallic sweet potato
@@leavingitblank9363 and the ginger
If Lorenzo was here, he would've added bacon to the Banana Bread
Boru and red pepper flakes
Penny would’ve added half a liter of rum
And if Steven was here, he'd add half a cheesecake
Frank would have harvested the bananas from his own personal tree.
Yes to all these comments 😂
Hi. I'm a level one chef.
Hi. I'm a level two chef.
HI. I'm a historical figure and what's considered a wizard in my field.
The harry potter of bread making
tomato-da duck true dat
@@samlonergan6896 YES!
@@tomato6844 Harry sucked at Potions class (mixing things together to form something new), so something tells me he would be terrible at baking 😂. Snape (the Potion's teacher) would probably be an amazing baker, though!
And now I want someone to write a story with that, lol.
It’s probably just me, but I find it hilarious seeing these two mush their bananas and do similar things every time, meanwhile the level three chef is just marching to his own drum
The whisk mash was hilarious bcs it took so long ☠️
Level 1: Banana Bread
Level 2: Gluten-Free Banana Loaf
Level 3: Plantain Bread
Level 4: Banana is actually a berry (although berry is a fruit)
God, I would kill to eat something made by someone with the title, "The Dean of Bread-Baking"
his bread looks awesome right.
I agree. His seemed amazing
I just they got the Dean of bread baking !!! It's too awesome🔥🔥
He was my instructor in culinary school and everything he makes is gold. He is a bread wizard.
OMG same!!
John: *likes the smell*
Gabrielle: *they’re beautiful*
Sim: *Lets ROAST them*
I guess Sim took r/roastme too serious
She did say that plantains needed be roasted due to the higher starch.
@@LuvMePeople it's a jokeeee
Dawn Ricardez I know but I was joking lol
Level one was sucking the bananas before the shoot
the level three chef should be a level 10 chef like he was been baking for almost 50 years like WHAT!
Exactly
“Don’t go crazy on the rum” and then that face he pulled. My guy... have you gotten so drunk off banana bread that u got nam flashbacks?
just what i was thinking
The way he said that killed me 😂😂😂 Man’s seen some things
Meanwhile in Southeast Asia, Frank is harvesting his plantains he's been growing.
DragoniteTamer23 he butchered a cow in preparation. Why? Because he could
and milling his own flour
Wait. Who's Frank?
@@matsumotosuri Is this a joke?
@@matsumotosuri t h e l e g e n d
The level three chef has been baking for longer than my parents have been alive.
Same😂
I normally feel rather young, then I read comments like yours and realize I'm really not. Lol.
wow thats weird
same here
Yo same and honestly I'm not even that old like my parents were born in '77. But good for the dean he looks great!!!
He's been cooking for 47 years?!? good Lord! Big respect!🙃
It's 50. Now 😂
As a native spanish speaker, I love how level 3 says "pan de plátano". It's like music to my ears 😄
“A little bit of rum... don’t go crazy”
Penny has left the chat
She won't go crazy on putting it in the dough. She'll have fun drinking it tho. 😅
oof so true
*Rie went with her*
@@cortpet403 I LOVE HOW I GET ALL THOSE REFERENCES HAHAHAHAHA
2 shots of vodka
Level 1: Hi, Im a level 1 Chef
Level 2: Hi, Im a level 2 Chef
Level 3: Since before the light of the Sun shone upon these lands i have been crafting flavors. All tastes in existence are wrought upon my pallete, and i have mastery upon them all. I, your level 3 chef, have ascended to the absolute pinnacle of beings. I have consumed God. Pray i do not consume you.
Level 4: *Appears out of thin air in the end with a board and a metal stick*
😂
Nah u doing the most 😂😂
😂
Loool
I was looking for this comment! 😂
For my banana bread, I usually use 4 bananas in 3 banana recipes, and add an extra egg. If you coat the top with brown sugar before putting it in the oven you get a nice sweet crumble on the top
"dean of bread baking" is my new aspirational title
Franks banana plantain hybrid tree is just starting to bloom that’s why he’s not here
🤣🤣🤣
We were all looking for this comment
lmaooo
It’s not funny animore pls stop
I am QWERTUS **anymore
the LOOK after "a little bit of rum, don't go crazy" was 100% directed at penny
Who is penny
Another level 3 who notoriously adds alcohol to her recipes.
whiggit
Considering that they work at the same spot and are colleagues in baking that’s a shot’s fired
Pfft. Penny scoffs at your 'little bit' of alcohol.
KSKSKSKSKSK
Banana bread
Lv 3 Chef: plantain, orange, ginger and pineapple
Also
S E A W E E D J E L L Y
I just really want all three chefs to be able to taste each others dishes. I want to hear the level three compliment the level one and then maybe tell them one or two things they could do to improve. I want the level one to taste the level 2 and comment on how they wouldn't have thought to do xyz or maybe tell them what they would have left out. I just want everyone's opinions.
Sim is the most underrated level 3 imo
Sim seems true to himself for some reason. He doesn't act for the camera, just ..... Deans. Just a really likeable grandfatherly character.
100%, I love that guy
Agree. Top bloke. Frank and Saul are too. Just confident in their craft, not arrogant...
I'm in love with that guy!!! wish my grandfather was like him!
@@adroitdroid5989 Can confirm he's like this in real life. Super laid back and kind and a baking genius. A real Brit lol
Frank is standing directly behind the camera giving each of them a silent tutorial through an interpretive dance
Lol
I can confirm, we practice the moves when we’re grilling dogs together
nah he is growing his own bananas in his backyard
I laughed
Gabrielle Chappel oh my god Gabby replied to me wtf is going kn
You know you're witnessing a legend creating a miracle-tier banana bread when he doesn't say how many years he's been cooking and just that he's a dean
One of the only foods made when things are going bad? There are so many recipes for that! Bread has croutons and French toast, vegetables have stock, meat has stews, fruit has smoothies and jams. There is so much you can do with "off" food.
It’s crazy how much I’m invested in this series
The characters, their development, the storylines
Bro
Tbvh 🤣🤣🤣
yeah me too im like upload already
Me too. I love some more then others but I like them all
Same, when I found this series I watched all the episodes and wait for a new one every week. Beautiful.
Level 3 is literally the CEO of bread
“It collapsed a little bit” shows a crevasse through the Earth.
lmaooo
God I hope that doesn’t happen but I’m afraid I just jinxed myself 😬
Level 1: hi I'm John
Level 2: hi I'm Gabriel
Level 3: I served food for the Italian army during both world wars
Army kitchens aren't very luxurious bro
Love Sim. He’s a very chilled, down-to-earth Brit who admits he came from a poor & pretty rough background, did a cooking diploma in London as a very young teen, then travelled the world learning his craft. He’s achieved the highest status in his field and taught so many people along the way. Like Frank, Saul and many other Level 3 chefs, he has high standards but no pretensions. Just a top bloke.
Jsuk pretty sure he's australian
@@rg4383 i just checked and he's British, but I thought he was Australian too lol
An actual salient comment in this comment section, I'm perplexed.
He's like me, a Brit who has lived in the States for over a decade. You don't get the American accent but it's hard not to pick up a twang. And a Brit with a twang always sounds Aussie... :)
@@Shelsight a decade late "Welcome to the States!" Glad to have you!
Everyone: Chunks
Gabrielle: ChONKs
literally me, tho.
Got some cat lady vibes from her with that one (big cats tend to be called “chonks”. We’ll get along nicely!
CHONKY BOOOIIII
1Joseph_Chan 1 culinarily i think they’re about the equal though he seems to have a better grasp on what(& why) hes doing so i guess thats one leg up.
I like her definition of chocolate chunks. I have a definite sweet tooth and this is appealing.
I have two theories about Lorenzo’s happy character;
1. He’s naturally happy
2. Everytime before a show he’s in the back doing a line of cocaine
Cocaine doesn’t make u happy ya know
get better cocaine
3. he's filipino
Made banana bread just last week. I used 2 cups of mashed bananas and about 1/3 cup mashed up sweet potato (I had a leftover baked one from the night before). I topped it with a mixture of sugar, cinnamon, flour and softened butter to make a crumble. It was Delicious and very moist. I will add sweet potatoes to my mix from now on!
You know you don't stand a chance when you're competing with a title
"The DEAN of Bread-Baking" yeah I'm talking about you Sim, I'd be deadass nervous tasting something he baked
But Is it really bannana bread if he used plaintains?
@@Osiris1K yeah lol I feel like it's something else entirely
Dean of not understanding the challenge
@@Osiris1K Well, plantains are a type of banana, so i'd say so
@@Osiris1K yes, they are still bananas. They are literally called cooking bananas
John’s banana bread actually looks like a regular loaf of white bread
it's because you are supposed to use brown sugar but he used white sugar.
@@skeleton5459 My banana bread recipe has white sugar. It's nowhere near this pale.
Yes, I use granulated sugar, and a tad of spice and it does come as pale... thank you preppy kitchen for showing me and letting me come and be judgy with them chefs 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Its bigger than him too
It’s almost like him
Level 1: Hello, im a level 1 Chef
Level 2: Hey, im a level 2 Chef
Level 3: Since the dawn of time people came to me asking for food and i have always given them what they wanted, in both world wars the french army was in need of my godly Banana Bread and I have baked. I have baked everyday for them and they never had to give anything back because i can create the ingredients from my mind.
Gabrielle: "It's one of the only foods that you make when something is about to go bad."
Every restaurant: Hold my blue plate special
They didn't get Frank as he couldn't grow his own bananas in time.
He was still making flour too
His bees dont have enough honey yet lol 🐝
He’s still raising his chickens to lay his eggs
He is still breeding a new type of cow to have his perfect type of milk
How to spot a level 3 baker: RUM
Penny drank the remainder of all rum
Finally someone who has been baking as long as I have! Sim, you have my heart! Plantains foster bread!
Lol level three came in like YOU BETTER PAY ME MY RESPECT! 😂😂

He might add salt lol
"put a little bit of rum, don't go crazy"
we all know who he's talking about
*Penny:* left the chat
Sad Penny with her bourboun noises
Penny rlly abouta smack him with the rum bottle
Then Penny's inspiration is Jack Sparrow: Why is the rum gone?!
Level 1 Chef: Here's banana bread
Level 2 Chef: Here's GLUTEN FREE banana bread
DEMIGOD OF BAKING: ( ( ( P A N D E P L A T A N O ) ) )
his banana bread looked the driest lol.
@@yusfishdotcom7830 Plantains have less moisture.
@@zanetseng6779 yeah he was a fool trying to be extra and it totally backfired on him.
@@yusfishdotcom7830 I think it’s just that you expect banana bread to be wet, I think his won’t taste dry, there is probably enough moisture for it not to.
Actually in the Philippines we use plantains more in banana breads because usually they ferment fast and the usual banana is more expensive than a plantain. It's actually more sweet. We use it in bananaque and turon and it hits close to home that he used plantains. We use it in banana breads too and u'll see it in bakeries here. It is more dry than the usual banana bread. But the flavor is more distinct and it kinda makes you nostalgic.
Love the level 3 guy. Educational and polite, he's obviously loving it but not over excited.
Sim: don’t go crazy with the run
Penny: Douses all the bananas in a bottle of rum
“Let’s roast these plantains”
My brain immediately: he bout to end their whole career
Exactly and when he pulled out the orange, game over

I mean you're usually supposed to cook plantains
What career?

Sim seems like a pretty cool dude. Spiced up a classic recipe but didn't make it too crazy. Nice voice. Concise instructions. Finger tats. What more could you want?
I can listen to Rose Trout talk about food all day.
The only reason Emily isn’t here is because she is panic buying ketchup
where did the ketchup thing originally start? lol
faith m she put ketchup on French toast I think

Likely that one try guy baking episode with the cakes smh
Shade @ penny 😂
Great videos, great information. Thank you!

my recommendations the next day:
Confirmed: Rose takes her pointer home.
Or she takes it to the studio
Or she have a stock of it everywhere
or its just an illusion
It's obviously a part of her
Maybe she has one for home and one for work.
I love how the food scientist lady compliments almost everything every chef does, so wholesome!
Rose is the best
I love Rose ♥
She’s always super polite and it’s only times where someone does something unsafe or utterly wrong that she gently mentions it’s wrong
I've just started making my own banana bread after not being able to find a good g/f in the shops. I put in nutmeg and cardamon and add in blueberries as there in season here and super cheap rn
Can't tell if Gabby sings when she talks, or i'm just in love.
The Level 3 Chef Looks Like 55 And He Says He Is Cooking From 1973.
Which Means He Is Baking For 47 Years.
THIS MAKES ME ASK MYSELF THAT WAS HE BORN IN THE MICROWAVE?
Brahamraj Singh 😂😂😂
have you ever met a 55 year old
Brahamraj Singh I believe he said 93 baking since 93
4Seasons 0:10 he clearly says 1973
4Seasons you need to go to the doctor and checkout your ears my friend.
So basically he's like the Dumbledore of The Bread Baking Hogwarts...
He sounds like dumbledore’s cousin. I thought I was only one thinking he works at hogwart
I was in his Bread Baking Class! And he is just as wonderful and funny as Dumbledore too!
@@BookLovingBaker Nice to know that he wasn't like Severus

@Kentaro From Wii Sports Please don't.
12:06 I know this is completely random but it just made me laugh so hard that his whisk was just vibrating instead of actually mixing lmaooo
Congratulations to The 3. An excellent idea of 3 chefs simultaneously giving their recipee and cooking.

Sim: I’m not using bananas
I’m making plantain bread
Me: • •

p a n d e p l a t a n o
Tbh where I live we just call plantain a different type of banana and it makes sense for cooking since it's much cheaper here
i don't know it called plantain, and i don't like that, not sweet :D
Plantain is also known as a “cooking banana”
@@oraisteunyu that's because you're not supposed to eat plantain raw like regular bananas, you have to cook it. My grandma likes cooking them in the microwave for 2 - 3 minutes and add cinnamon and sugar to it.
No one:
Absolutely no one:
Level 3 Chef: I'm Sim. I'm the dean of bread baking at the Institute of Culinary Education, and I've been baking since 1973.
woah there
I love how most of the other chefs have been cooking like 20 something years and then thing guy comes along with "since 1973"
He said it in caps 😂😂😂
That's almost half a century 😂
That's why he said "Dont go crazy" with the rum🤣 1973 he's seen it all and a half
literally scrolling through the comments to find you LOL
i dont know why but i suddenly shuddered in my chair after he said that... like a bread master has just descended from above lol
I loved it!
And the lovely and super smart scientist really made it very interesting!
Thank you 😊
when I close my eyes, Snape is making banana bread, and I love it XD
I love Gabrielle, but am I the only one who was hoping to see Beth's banana bread? Everything that woman bakes looks amazing. To me her food looks better than the lvl 3's most of the time.

"We used bananas as a fruit but botanically they are a type of berry" Wait...berries arent fruit?
Ikr
By the botanical definition, a berry is a fruit that develops from a specific part of a single flower, is fleshy throughout, and does not have a line of weakness it splits along to release the seeds when ripe.
So to be strictly accurate about it, a berry is a type of fruit, that includes things like pumpkins and peppers that few people think of as berries - yes, a pumpkin is, technically, a berry. Strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries are not, they are aggregate fruit.
Daniel Spencer wow my whole life is a lie ;-; so technically if someone wants a berry smoothie I can just give them some pumpkins and peppers with water?
Wait this is so weird i read this exactly when she said that 🤯🤯🤯
Daniel Spencer hehe I can just imagine myself saying “Hi could I get an aggregate smoothie please?”
love this clip
Level 2 chef Gabrielle was so full of life.
I think I am in love😍
When the level one chef is better at cooking than you will ever be.
Now that’s just sad bruh
no
Nah, all you have to do is get that mindset out of your head and start cooking today.
asighofrelief h actually cook quite a lot. It’s like a hobby.

“Also makes you dream.” SIR WHAT DOES THAT MEAN 😂
