Shape the Loaf of Wheat Bread
My name is Brandon Sarkis on behalf of Expert Village. Today I am going to show you how to make whole wheat bread. I have returned with our other piece of bread now. So just a tiny bit of flour here just to keep the moisture away or at bay or whatever you would like to say. I'm rhyming today. Oh I did it again look at that I could be a rapper. So we are going to take our bread from sitting over there so same rules apply as last one. We are just going to fold it into itself. Pinch our ends together, and this one is going to take a kind of a dramatically different turn though and you will see why. So make sure everything is nice and seamless. Work all of our air out. Our ends are a little ugly so, rectangle here so we are going to take the knife again because I like playing with sharp knifes. You are saying to yourself, but Brandon you are making a rustic loaf out of this. I am but I am not. So we are going to take this piece right here and I'm going to, this is the fun part, you roll it up like this and then I'm going to move the other piece to the pan for the time being and then I'm going to start, woe, woe it's getting away from me. I am going to start rolling it. The idea here being is that I am just going to roll it all the way out to its ends. Push it back into shape here, just kind of bunch it back together for the time being. Just going to keep it on my cutting board. Take my other piece, same thing. We are going to roll it up as well. The first few rolls are always the hardest ones to do and what you do is as you roll you can sit there and take your fingers and spread them out to even out the rolling action and to really kind of work this way outward. So ends need a little work on this one. There's this, we have some separation which we don't want. Separation is bad. This piece is a little drier that and the cutting board was a little dry and it picked up some of it. So there is this piece and this piece. You are going to make sure they are about the same size, which they are roughly. Next for the fun part.
