Hi I have watched this lovely lady on youtube make bread.  I can't work out how she gets the results she does the way she makes her bread is so different from how I have been taught.  (traditional british bread making) see below.

What is odd to me is the way she kneads the bread hardly at all, and the way she mixes, no measuring, using bulk yeast which I would have thought would have gone off after a few weeks, the sponge method I've never done that. 

 

I am not saying she is wrong she clearly knows what she is doing -I have never seen anything like it.  Any comments on the method she is using.  I am thinking of trying her way to see what happens.  zoe
