One of the things that really helps a new baker learn the crucial first steps of mixing and shaping dough is watching a video and hearing a good explanation of how the process works. Mark Sinclair from The Back Home Bakery has just released his first 2 DVD's that cover 3 different breads, how to create a Sourdough starter and the entire process of making artisan bread at home. I've looked at the trailers and they are the same high quality we have seen from Mark for some time. The man can handle dough like nobody I know. He does make it look easy and he shows his tricks for getting the most from shaping and folding. I can't do everything he does but it is nice to see him doing it.

I like the concept of buying a tutorial that demonstrates the entire process from scaling ingredients to baking in a clear easy to understand process.I think this will be a big help to people just learning to improve their baking skills and wanting to make beautiful breads.

Great job Mark! I'm waiting for the one on Baguettes too.

Here is the link to the DVD's. [1]
