Brad and Claire Make Doughnuts Part 1: The Beginning | It's Alive | Bon Appétit

Do we have a camera? Let's put it in a box. I think it's easier. What camera? What is the difference? It's good to have. something with straight sides and square why because then you know how to do 90 degree turns and then your camera uh cool Brad, yeah Brad likes to drop me on the show, tell me how to live my life and then ignore all my expert advice. Okay look, remember this sourdough thing, yeah you're turning it into a pretty little ball, it's fun, so this is a pretty bait, I know it looks pretty cool, so now we're moving on to the bulk fermentation phase. , what does that mean?

This is like the first rise, so we want to let the yeast and lactic acid bacteria begin to metabolize the flower and produce gas with both fermentations. We are looking for the dough to be really buoyant, very light. I've noticed that I'm like. you think they guess 30% I think I know what you're looking for. I don't think we achieved that with this dough, so have you been trying? Yes, it was done well. I was just guessing. Sorry, what I did was it left and it's like, oh I have to go home, it's like we finished fermenting and we put it in the refrigerator so it'll be ready when you think you want me to bring it home . no, no thanks, you have your third child, we don't do that, remember, I did it for you, you have the same thing, good moves, yes, but I wasn't here, thanks, I did the

beginning

, it was Vince, he organized a session on Monday morning and them I read so I don't know if having the Swap at home I would take a Dutch oven and put it in the back seat of my car.

I would take the children to daycare. I put them in my car. I don't take my children to daycare. I can fall and he fell and gassed the whole bread and I noticed that it was a little deflated. He came in. We had to

make

focaccia with Samim. Did you have sakauchi dough and the door on the floor of your car? um no, so I had a dutch oven, that's a better story, even though it was everywhere it was on the ceiling, in my hair, in the kids eyes, okay let's put this in there, no, not that yet is over.

It's too much fun, we got this back. with plastic or this has a nice snap there, you know, I'm trying to use less plastic, let's just

make

a clean towel, yeah, now with sourdough, when we made bread. I remember we had a like every hour and I think. We were calling it our turn, yes, we backed out, yes, we're going to do the same, same, no, why do you want to do it? You were doing that right, yeah, no, I was, but no, he said like once every hour for four hours, yeah. it's probably from David or the instructions I wrote you'll probably get it two or three times, okay, I'm going to grab the cover for this, okay, why don't you tell the lovely people what the shifts do, so Are the turns really used to build? strength in the dough because as it ferments the gluten chains relax and therefore the dough becomes weaker so we just want to make sure that the dough stays nice and strong which will create a better structure inside of our donuts, but I think we can let it go I hate sagging lids, they always do this is like that, less single-use plastic though, friends, yeah, okay, we'll be back in an hour, in an hour, I'm going to set a timer , I know you have some things to do yeah, I'll come back, I'll grab it, okay, oh no, and we'll do it, okay, keep the turn, tucks, yeah, maybe I'll grab you for the first one, can you refresh my memory on the technique? adequate, perfect.

See you in an hour oh, just some fish broth, a little souvenir, okay, no, I'll make some earrings, okay, I'm coming, sorry, Claire shouldn't eat on cutting boards, it's not safe for children. foods, more than you go, okay, Claire, the dough. don't wait for anyone is that your dessert Claire de Jesus funny guy grease my greased hands good oh this is how I need to like it I need like a stool here what an apple oh yeah, I'm going to start by putting it in my hands, you know? you're still taller than me yes I'm going to put my hands under oh yes and then believing it here I'm going to continue until I fall I wasn't doing it until I've released all the dough and then warm up thank you and then I can give it a 90 degree turn and then once it's there it's done anyway.

Good time, I'll grab you from here next time you grab it like that? Yes, yes, of that, really, yes, it was the exact same no no look you don't smile you grab not that way the same you grab it that way oh that's not what you just said that so no the little thing here in these sides yes upside down like I just had it yes yes yes no No it doesn't matter okay we're going to do the fold that Claire did and I can't quite remember what she did that way and then it was like a quarter turn like that It wasn't as pretty as when Claire didn't make it, she made it look great and it's probably easy, but for people who ruin this at home, the folds and turns when I was developing this on my own I did it once and it worked very well.

Listen to Brad talk about me, it's live, what did you do? I turned or held my gaze, it looks so weird, well I had some difficulties Claire, we were talking about how pretty you ate yours, why it looks beautiful, it looks like the skin won, okay. that's not distracting me but it's okay right now to mess up our okay whatever do one more like I wanted the surface to be smooth a little moment when we're shooting simultaneously it's

alive

and I'm the technique just leave it, that's it, that's it It's, yeah, okay, great. I'm going to throw in the towel again on this and you know you'll try again in our video.

Sometimes it's just the way she looks, she looks pretty deep there, what do you do? I need bread, well I really disappointed you and me with my folding skills last time, but I know it's time to do it again, so I'm going to go from this side. I just don't know what yours was like when you did it. It looks so cute, what did you do? I went, oh my gosh, I picked it up and it's like I dropped it on itself and then it didn't, that's it, so I got fed up, it was a lot simpler than I thought. we were like, no, you were literally going up for a strip, we're just going out first, so this episode has a preview of an upcoming one for me, it's not the other way around, you have to say in the courtroom movies, Cory makes it happen. comes first no, his life comes first I just said it's a lot comes first no Shh I thought I had merged they are working too hard not to be me so I had to say it in my videos you'll have to do it I'm going to do another round, okay, There's some gasoline in there.

Remember when we dropped it it was a little below the two court line, yeah, why does it look lower? Well, I don't think it's going to go up much more. Ought. Okay, I think Sena will be fine the last few times I've been doing it, he never went higher than this. Okay, turning, hold on that way, don't put your hands under it, well, yeah, there you go, just let it hang there and then let it go. from falling back on itself and then doing it again with it, now you can turn it and do something else, yeah, okay, so folding was very easy.

I came back, I don't know what the hell I had to do before and look, there's this and guys. in this I feel I really feel better with this than with the one I had yesterday really yes and that was the best yes that was Morocco said it was perfect he is a tough person I know so let's leave it that goes for another hour maybe one more lap but two more hours two more hours and then they roll together we're walking over and we put him in the walk-in yeah he just goes into the coolers with the towel yeah okay that's great you can go back to your thing yo I'm back to my thing, yeah, and tomorrow he's going home, okay, that's my second start at work, so it's nice and a little louder.

Joe is a very light and floaty area, yeah, oh, that's good. I know he'll take you to the walk-in, go up there, I'll open the door, okay, cool, hey Gabriella, I'm going to put some money here, okay, Claire and I will be a donor, oh, thanks, it was my job , they both did a great job, so I just did a test, they are not ready, bad joke, yes. Oh, bad, bad, bad, bad news that shouldn't happen. I don't want to try it. Chris is going to murder. Nobody wants a donut more than Chris. a good place you need good man you know things like disaster so I'm sorry I should have known this wasn't going to be a good day okay we'll do another one quicker and then if that fails we'll do it . address Plan B, if that falls through that bone, take a drink, so yeah, we'll get to sourdough nuts in a moment,
