Potato Rollssinclairsbakery2026-09-24 | Potato RollsWalnut Bread @sinclairsbakerysinclairsbakery2024-02-01 | * The recipe for this bread is forthcoming and will be available on both my Facebook and Instagram accounts, linked at the bottom of this description.
Reminiscent of a simple loaf I had some 40 years ago in southeastern Switzerland, this Walnut bread is a favorite recipe of mine and one that I like to bake for my family.
I encourage you to try it with a rye starter and sponge, if you have one, as the overnight fermentation adds complexity and richness to its flavor.
With a combination of rye (20%), unbleached white, and whole wheat flour, I do my best to replicate the hearty but not heavy breads that are famous in both western and eastern Europe.
This bread stands well on its own and also pairs perfectly with meats and strong cheeses.

These loaves are a blend of Buckwheat, Whole Wheat, and White flour plus a soaker of 3 different grains. It can be quite sticky, so it’s necessary to move quickly. Enjoy 😊 http://Facebook.com/SinclairsBakery http://Instagram.com/SinclairsBakeryMore Bread Shaping- batards and boulessinclairsbakery2023-09-05 | Alternate views of my shaping technique for batards and boules. Visit me, Sinclair’s Bakery on Facebook and InstagramRustic White Shapingsinclairsbakery2023-08-24 | This dough is pretty sticky and loose, plus as you can see I shape then place them directly onto the pans/paper they proof and bake on, without using brotforms/bannetons. Timing, temperature and consistency are critical.Shaping Buckwheat Boulessinclairsbakery2023-06-01 | I was out of bread to eat ;) so I decided to make some loaves to stock up the freezer. This is a quick video to show you the technique I use for shaping 800g boules.French Foldsinclairsbakery2022-09-27 | It’s like stretch and fold, but in the air. This works well for small batches of sticky dough. Through the course of the slow motion video you will see the strength and shape take place 😉👍🏼 instagram.com/sinclairsbakery facebook.com/SinclairsBakeryStretch and Fold - Containersinclairsbakery2022-09-21 | This is the stretch and fold technique, within a container. Used by many bakers when space is tight and/or for less mess and cleanup, it helps to strengthen the dough for better rising and crust later. Contrary to what amateurs might believe, water, not flour, keeps the dough from sticking to one’s hands, so a neat and clean space helps. 😉👍🏼 Slowed down a bit for demonstration purposes. #stretchandfold instagram.com/sinclairsbakery facebook.com/SinclairsBakeryTaking a quick break.

It can either be done on the table like this, or in a container if the dough is too large and/or wet.Shaping 35% Rye loaves for bread pans.sinclairsbakery2022-05-19 | Creating proper surface tension can be difficult with Rye bread. Some bakers use their fingers for the far side of the loaf and their thumbs for the near side. Using gentle tucking, on some of the loaves I create tension on both sides by rotating it 180 degrees half way through the shaping.

SinclairsBakery@gmail.comPortuguese Sweet Breadsinclairsbakery2016-01-01 | Happy 2016 everyone! To celebrate the new year, I made this video for you. First But, here's a short story to tell you a bit of the background behind the bread. As you may know, my mother is half-Hawaiian and half-Chinese. As a child I visited her parents (my grandparents) in Hawaii several times and have fond memories of the food we used to eat. Has a very Hawaii diverse culinary tradition, some was brought by the Polynesians nearly one thousand years ago, while much of i t came from the people who settled in the islands in the late 1700's and early 1800's. The Portuguese influence still lives today in the musical instruments they brought (the machete, which became the ukulele) and their sweet breads (now called 'Hawaiian Sweet Bread '). Eight years ago after seeing my videos, an amateur baker from Hawaii contacted me asking for my Portuguese Sweet Bread recipe. He said his grandmother used to make it, and the following week he was hoping to make it for a get-together at his house that they were having to mark the one year anniversary of when she had passed. I sent the recipe to him. Two weeks later he wrote back to me. He said he had made it and as the aroma filled his home, he started to cry. Later that day, when the rest of his family came to his home, before they had even entered the front door they did the same. Said it smelled They just as it did when their grandmother used to make it. :) This Portuguese Sweet Bread recipe is my tribute to the Portuguese and was the first recipe I developed, about 20 ago years.

This is a 77% hydration dough that was mixed 36 hours before you see in the video. For 1kg of flour, I use 770g water, 19g salt, 1g instant yeast.
There is a 20 minute rest between each short mix, then after 3 short mixes, the dough is retarded for 36 hours in the fridge. From the fridge, the dough is preshaped, then placed in a covered canvas to rest for 45-60 minutes. Next it is final shaped, then again placed in a couche for about 60 minutes. Finally it is baked for about 24 minutes at 425F (220C).brioche machine mixsinclairsbakery2013-11-01 | Baker Mark Sinclair shows how to machine mix brioche.
