    Looks mouth watering delicious, I'll definitely need to try this. Thank you for sharing, I've always enjoyed watching the process rather than reading from a recipe book. You're videos are fabulous. πŸ‘πŸžπŸ•πŸ’•πŸ˜˜

    I know you already do so much, but I have a request (while you still feel like doing focaccia recipes). Can you do a video on ligurian focaccia? It is really thin and light and is finished with a salt water brine before going in the oven. Looks like it gets baked on a half sheet tray.

    Thank you so much for all you do. Seriously. You are genuinely the best youtuber when it comes to bread.

    I'm part of the cold fermentation team myself. πŸ₯Ά I keep it super simple when making pizza πŸ• I throw all the ingredients together in a bowl, mix well until no loose flour. Rest for an hour and shape into a ball, place in oiled container until next day/s when I am ready to stretch and bake it!

    I want to try this to take in to work and share with colleagues. The final proof is the problem! Can I do the final 3 hour proof the night before and then put it back into the fridge, or will it over-proof and collapse?

    Its so weird because I have slight Trypophobia so focaccia looks so disgusting and unappetizing to me but yet tastes so good. Like honeycomb doesn't bother me at all but looking at the Surinam toad is nearly vomit inducing.

    How do I go about using sourdough starter instead of yeast? I make your sourdough focaccia regularly but once preferment (edit: I meant levain here, I confused the two) is ready there's no turning back. Slowing it down would be really good…

    Never made Focaccia, so this was cool learning how to do this using cold-fermentation too. I'll have to put it on my to-do list! And on a tangent note…the spatula that you use @ the 1:55 mark caught my attention. I've been looking for a smallish spatula with a metal handle like yours. Would love to learn where you might have gotten it – as I'm on the hunt for one myself.

    Again, thanks for sharing your expertise and educational informative vids with us! It's helped answer questions that always pop up.

    Love this bread! We used this bread for catering in a round extra large loaf as a giant sandwich cutting across it filling it with a variety of meats, cheeses and fresh chopped chutneys then into slices like a pizza. Super beautiful presentation and always the first to disappear. Lovely.

    Simply magnificent!
    I've been reading 'Modernist Bread today'. They did many test bakes using different autolysis methods. They found that with hand baking it only gave slight crumb and volume improvement and then only with lean French doughs.

    They conclude the chapter by saying that cold bulk fermentation and cold proofing were much more important regarding gluten development giving superior loaf volume, crumb and crust and most of all flavour development.

    I'm with you all of the way on this πŸ‘

    Anyway I'm off to see if I can chop a pepper with my fingers now. Some cynic said it was trick photography – I don't believe a word of it. LOL

    This tutorial is a real gift. Thank you.
