How does this very violent baguette shaping video lead to such a great crumb?
Hi all,
I've been pursuing the art of the baguette in terms of both ears and crumb. I found a video (here [1]) which produced a loaf that was amazing in both regards, but the way he shapes the bread in the video goes against everything I know since it basically consists of slapping the dough, and has no preshaping stage. Can anyone please make sense of the method and why it produced such an amazing baguette?
