I was wondering does Chain Baker Play here? Soft Pretzles
Hi,
I have watched any number of his video's and wondered about him. Since I niether Tik nor Tok or Face Meta-astsize, Pin, or Twerp or even Twit, I realized he might be here. Oh, I carry a flip phone on purpose.
I am curious about his accent, and figure he is in the UK , but his accent is confusing. SA perhaps?
anyway if you are here, oh Baker of Chain please do drop a line. Your video's are very informative.
I must go I am trying your Soft Pretzle recipe and would eventually like clarification on the malt. I have both Diastatic malt powder, and could only get sweet Malt as Syrup.
Is the malt for rising purposes or for taste? Use both? Sweeta dairy whey use ?
thanks to any who respond. I am on Long,(taxed) Island NY

I've never seen him post here, unfortunately. You can try commenting on his videos.
Here's his website:
https://www.chainbaker.com/
He also has an Instagram account, I believe.
He is from UK according to his YT channel.
I do not do social media at all, so I can't comment. This here is very small social media. We all adore the sacred Yeast and celebrate with the Great Rising and then while we prepare to sacrifice the Yeast to the Gods of the Oven. All while maintaining the Sacred Wild Yeast in the Holy Crock... as it awaits for a new journey of taste and aroma and texture and as visually stunning as we can make it....
Yes this is a special place.
Did I mention I like all aspects of bread making, especially the eating part. The Little Red Hen was not wasted with me.
thanks fer the thought on how to contact.
He grew up in Latvia but I’m fairly sure that he lives and works in England. He speaks English fluently but with an accent that matches with Latvian origins. He also uses British flour. His video production is phenomenal and I have learnt a lot from them. The website text is thorough and detailed, he approaches the craft of baking quite scientifically. The filming is excellent. Unfortunately he reads his script rather quickly and doesn’t pause between sentences so it sounds rather rushed. If he could improve on this I would give him a very high rating. In the earlier videos he added music but the later ones avoid this, which is much better. He talks about doing baking before going to work but I have no idea whether his work includes baking or is entirely different. Will he ever share it? I think he is the Banksy of the baking world - something of a mystery!!!!
and has a perfect a skill set and great attitude for it. He has my complete respect!
