    I can’t concentrate with the fuzzy top. I think I’m sweating just looking at you, OP lol. Also, dough looks awesome!

    I always tuck my ends but now I’m wondering if I dint have to? What do yours look like when the loaf is cooked, still a swirl?

    How do the ends look when you don’t pinch them shut?

  7. Nice. I do the same with one minor difference. I tuck in the ends on the “short ends”.

    My batard shaping sucks….. I definitely need to work on it.

    Yours looks great!

    I really appreciate these videos, but they’re also frustrating. Whenever I shape my bread, it never looks like I’m rolling up a towel, like it does here. It’s pretty unwieldy.

    How do you get your bread to look so pillowy?

    I am so much rougher with my dough. I could learn a thing or two from your dainty little tappity taps.

    Love the little tippy tappies on the first fold!
