Great video
Don't know if you have seen this yet...

it's a new video of Richard Bertinet demonstrating his condiserable dough handling skills. Beautiful.
In other news, the Real Bread Campaign earns Tesco a slap on the wrist...

Thanks for sharing! It's amazing how he handles the dough. I want to do that when I grow up!!
I always enjoy watching Bertinet work with dough. Thanks for sharing!

Very interesting and informative. Thanks for posting the link. A couple of years back I must have watched the previous Richard Bertinet video (Gourmet Magazine's site) a half dozen times. No doubt about it, he's amazing.

This video shows Bertinet's flip and flop (as I call it) technique much better than the original, which Howard refers to.
I'll admit I tried it once and make an amazing mess of my counter and dough.
Enjoyed as much as the Gourmet Mag version. Thanks.

After the autolyse I wet the counter and my right hand and slap the shaggy mass down and lift it a few times, and suddenly I have a smooth ball of dough. Magic! Can result in white spots in odd places but that's a small price to pay, A. Spots on walls and windows, not dough! A.
