  • Introduction to Video Content
  • In this video, Babish shares his personal story about his childhood memories of making cookies with his mom and how it inspired his passion for baking. He reflects on the challenges he faced after his mother's illness and his attempts to replicate the perfect cookie recipe. Despite not being able to achieve the exact same taste and texture, Babish has gained experience and improved his baking skills over the years. He acknowledges the significance of his mother's guidance and realizes that he still relies on her help even now. Moving on to the main content of the video, Babish explains that he is making bread for his BLTs and provides a modified recipe that requires minimal equipment. Although using a scale is recommended for accuracy, it is not essential for this recipe. Stay tuned to learn Babish's technique for making the perfect BLT bread.
  • Subtitles section
  • My story with cookies is a long one, stretching back to my very earliest memories, so classic that they practically feel invented.
  • In spite of doing little more than spilling my mother's carefully measured ingredients and forgetting to set a timer, I'm pretty sure the exact words look everyone, Andy made cookies, all by myself, and wow they're perfect,
  • We got a baker on our hands, were said aloud, and on more than one occasion during my preschool career.
  • All that is to say, my perfect cookie streak came to a screeching halt when she succumbed to her third bout of breast cancer,
  • And the years after I kept making the recipe off the back of the bag, albeit to a far more inaccurate and imprecise extent.
  • Some blew up like softballs, others melted into pools, but every once in a while they'd come out a little like they used to.
  • When they did, I couldn't help but feel the warmth still radiating from my mother's oven, hearing its metal crackle and creak and yawn, even long after its flame was extinguished.
  • After years of practicing on my own, I don't screw up cookies as often as I used to, and usually when I do, it's because I still forget to set a timer.
  • Mine are bigger, more complex, and labor-intensive, nothing like the ones in my fading memory, but I still smile sometimes when the blast of heat from my own creaky oven yields a perfect batch.
  • I never could get them to come out right without my mother's help.
  • To this day, I still can't.
  • All right, so this week I'm out of the studio, but I still wanted to make bread for my BLTs, so I've lightly modified a recipe from the book so that all you need is a bowl and a bread pan.
  • Obviously a scale helps, but I understand if you don't travel with one.
  • First we're gonna make a no-knead sandwich loaf with everything bagel seasoning, starting with 400 grams or three and one-third cups of bread flour, two and a quarter teaspoons or one packet of instant yeast,
  • 25 grams or about two tablespoons of granulated sugar, seven grams or one and a half teaspoons of kosher salt, then optionally two to three tablespoons of everything bagel seasoning for an everything bagel seasoning style bread.
  • Whisk the dry ingredients together or mix by hand until homogenous, then I'm combining half a cup or 125 milliliters of hot tap water with 125 grams of cold milk water or milk, which should even out to a nice balmy 90 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • I've also got 50 grams or three and a half tablespoons of unsalted butter.
  • I'm gonna melt that on the stovetop while I give my workspace a wipe down, and then once just melted but not boiling or hot, we're gonna add all the wets to the dries, and we're just gonna gently mix these guys together by hand until a nice shaggy dough forms,
  • Kneading it just a little bit to make sure that no dry patches remain.
  • Then we're gonna do the lift and fold method, so we're gonna put this guy back in the bowl, cover with a moist towel, and let him sit for 15 minutes, one not quite a full episode of Fraser later.
  • We're uncovering the bowl, grabbing the dough by an arbitrary corner, and per the name of the method, lifting and folding it up and toward the center of the dough round, rotating then repeating until you've done about eight to ten folds.
  • Then we're gathering up the dough, placing it seam side down back in the bowl, and covering, letting it rest for another incomplete episode of television or 15 minutes before uncovering and repeating the process.
  • We're gonna do this a total of four times, during which time the dough should develop enough gluten to pass the windowpane test.
  • If it doesn't, just go ahead and do one to two more lifts and folds.
  • In the end, we should have a smooth, supple, tacky, but not sticky dough, which after one more 15 to 20 minute rest, we're going to shape into a loaf.
  • Now you could just do this by hand, padding and stretching it out into a rectangle, but if you have a rolling pin, a bottle of wine, or a smooth, rounded chunk of marble like this, it can obviously be a huge help in rolling it out and making sure that there are no air bubbles in the dough.
  • Now I want the width of the rectangle to be roughly the same width as my intent loaf pan, this nine by five aluminum number that I found at the grocery store.
  • Then I'm going to roll up the dough lengthwise into a tight log, making sure to press and seal and squeeze out any air bubbles as I'm going, then thoroughly pinching and pulling the seam shut underneath the bottom of the loaf.
  • And there you have it, our dough is ready to become bread.
  • First, we have to generously grease our loaf pan, especially an aluminum one like this that is full of dangerous crooks and crevices, so make sure to rub in the oil universally and prolifically.
  • Carefully drop in the dough that looks an awful lot like a burrito.
  • Seam side down, and if it's a little bit too long, you need to squeeze it, make sure that it doesn't curve in the pan, otherwise it might rise unevenly.
  • Cover with oiled plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel and let rise at room temperature for one and a half to two hours, depending on the ambient temperature of your kitchen, or until doubled in size and rising above the edges of the loaf pan.
  • The oven is preheated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, but before this guy heads into the hotbox, we're going to brush him down with more melted butter.
  • Then you can either cut three diagonal slashes into the loaf or one long slash down the center.
  • I cut mine a little bit too deep, don't go quite as deep as that.
  • Once buttered and slashed, this guy's headed into the oven for 20 to 35 minutes, rotating halfway through until golden brown and making a hollow thump when thumped upon the bottom.
  • While it's still hot, give it another brush down with melted butter, which is going to give it a nice burnished surface.
  • Let it cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes before turning it out and letting it cool directly on a rack or some elevated grate-like surface like your stovetop, for at the very least four hours, ideally overnight,
  • Before slicing and serving.
  • I know the idea of fresh hot bread out of the oven sounds delicious, but it will ruin the bread's texture.
  • As you can see, despite being a no-knead bread, we've got a nice crumb going here.
  • It's super soft and fluffy and moist, but it's firm enough for me to cut it without a bread knife.
  • So there you have it, no-knead, everything bagel-flavored bread.
  • Only real tools you need are a bowl and a pan.
  • But let's say, just hypothetically, that you travel with your favorite stand mixer and you want to make something a little bit more complicated for your BLTs, like a marble rye.
  • Well, I know you're traveling with a scale, so we'll just go by weight.
  • First up, 270 grams of bread flour, 185 grams of dark rye flour, 28 grams of dried milk, or you could substitute this with flour and instead use half milk and half water later on in the wet section, one to one and a half teaspoons of onion powder,
  • Depending on how onion-y you want things to get, one tablespoon of caraway seeds, 18 grams of granulated sugar, you could also optionally use the same amount by weight of honey, 35 grams of potato flour,
  • I couldn't find any, so this is just instant mashed potatoes that I ground into a powder in the blender, two teaspoons of instant yeast, and about one and three-quarter teaspoons of kosher salt.
  • Go ahead and whisk that together until homogenous, and then we're going to divide the dry mixture into two equal parts, one of which we're going to add a heaping tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder to.
  • This is going to be the darker of the two ryes that make up our marble.
  • Whisk that in there, make sure there are no clumps of cocoa hanging around.
  • Then we're adding 140 milliliters of room temperature water and 14 grams of vegetable oil.
  • Grab the stand mixer out of your carry-on bag, strap in the bowl of fixed dough hooks, mix together on low speed for one to two minutes until a dough forms, and then knead on medium speed for six to eight minutes,
  • Scraping down the hook if necessary, until a smooth, elastic, windowpane-passing dough forms.
  • Set that aside, and then we're going to rinse and repeat this entire process with the non-cocoa powder half of the dough.
  • So another 140 mil of water, 14 mil vegetable oil, mix, knead, and there you have it, each of which is being placed in its own oiled bowl, covered with plastic wrap, and being allowed to rise for one to two hours until doubled in size.
  • Then we're going to unwrap these, starting with the darker rye, and it's a little stickier than the previous dough, so this time I'm going to lightly flour the countertop before rolling out into a rectangle.
  • Repeat with the lighter dough, brush off any excess flour, and lay it right on top of the darker dough, once again brushing off any excess flour.
  • Then we're rolling this guy up, same as last time, pressing out any bubbles, making sure no flour is getting stuck between the layers, otherwise you might end up with bubbles in your bread, and this guy's ready to rock.
  • Place him seam side down in a well-oiled loaf pan, once again making sure that the loaf doesn't curve in one direction or the other.
  • Loosely cover with oiled plastic wrap, and let it rise at room temperature for one to two more hours until doubled in size.
  • Now, because I want to stick caraway seeds to the outside of this thing, instead of butter, we're going to brush this guy down with a beaten egg, generously sprinkling caraway seeds over top, and then instead of one long slash,
  • I'm going to do those three diagonal slashes down the length of the loaf, not cutting quite so deep this time.
  • Now we're going to start this guy off in a 400 degree Fahrenheit oven, tented with foil, very loosely, almost like a foil balloon, to make sure that it doesn't impede the bread's rise.
  • Into the oven it goes for 15 minutes, then we're going to lower the temperature to 350, bake for another 20 minutes, then uncover and bake for a final five, until it's golden brown and the thickest part of the loaf registers 190 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let it rest for 10 minutes in the pan, turn it out, listen for a good thump, and let it cool completely, at least four hours, ideally overnight, before slicing and serving.
  • Let's take a look at that cross section, see if we got a good spiral, and we did.
  • A little bubble in there, not the end of the world.
  • A nice hearty, wholesome brie that also has a soft, rich texture.
  • So we got our bread out of the way, now how about the everything else?
  • Obviously you can use store-bought mayonnaise in your BLT, but if you have the option to make your own, the answer is always do it.
  • I'm combining the rest of that beaten egg that we were using for brushing with one teaspoon of Dijon mustard, one whole clove of garlic, then normally I'd use the juice of half a lemon, but not having one,
  • I'm going to use about two teaspoons of white wine vinegar, a little pinch of kosher salt, and then it's immersion blender time.
  • You want to use a container like this one where the head of the immersion blender just barely fits in the bottom.
  • This is going to create the vortex necessary at the bottom of the container to emulsify together the eggs and the oil.
  • Speaking of which, here comes the oil.
  • One cup of neutral flavored stuff like canola, come on Annie, you can do this, poured gently down the side of the container so that it settles on top of the oil.
  • This allows you to control how much oil you're emulsifying into the egg by moving the immersion blender up and down.
  • Speaking of which, here it comes on high power, starting at the bottom and slowly pulsing towards the top, watching a beautiful, creamy mayonnaise come to life before your very eyes, and all over your apron.
  • Give it a few more passes from the top to make sure that all the oil is emulsified into the mayo, and there you have it, the best mayonnaise you'll ever eat, and in a sandwich with this few ingredients,
  • Having a high quality mayonnaise really makes a huge difference.
  • Now we're going to do things slightly out of order, starting with the L of our BLT.
  • My favorite lettuces for the application are either Boston bib or butter lettuce, which I'm going to make extra crisp by letting it hang out in ice water for 30 minutes before serving.
  • This is a great way to crisp up any salad green, especially if it's wilted.
  • Next onto the T, obviously we need really high quality tomatoes and a good BLT.
  • Look for vibrant color, firm but yielding flesh, and a pronounced tomatoey smell.
  • I like to slice these as thin as possible so they're easier to bite through and you don't end up slipping them out of your sandwich.
  • Last but certainly not least, in fact technically first, is the bacon, which I'm going to roast in the oven rather than fry on the stovetop.
  • Especially if you're dealing with limited or small cookware, roasting bacon at 375, preferably with convection, on a sheet of aluminum foil set in a rimmed baking sheet gives you nice even cooking, relatively flat slices,
  • And unparalleled control in doneness and texture.
  • I like to give things a flip after about 15 minutes or once you start seeing things brown and curl, flipping the bacon and rotating the pan.
  • Now depending on how evenly your oven heats, some pieces might be done before others.
  • This could be good if you have multiple diners with different bacon doneness preferences, but if you want all your pieces cooked evenly, you can take some off during cooking, shuffle around the stragglers,
  • And finish them off in the oven before draining on paper towels.
  • Then you're left with this big wide vat of bacon fat.
  • Whatever will you do with it?
  • Well, it turns into the perfect bread dipping station.
  • I like to fry my bread rather than toast it for a BLT, and bacon fat is about as ideal lubricant as I can imagine.
  • Lettuce is headed out of the ice water and is getting padded dry, and I'm toasting the bread in a non-stick pan more on one side than the other.
  • I like for the outside of the sandwich to be less toasted so that it doesn't tear up the roof of your mouth, but because it looks so nice for food styling purposes, I'm going to do the opposite.
  • Generously, but not gluttonously, spreading our homemade mayonnaise on our homemade bread.
  • Then in terms of assembly, I like to go lettuce, bacon, tomato, lettuce.
  • This prevents all the moisture of the tomatoes from coming in direct contact with the bread, disallowing any pronounced sogginess.
  • Set up a nice flat bed of bacon for our tomatoes, and then arranging the tomatoes over top in a sort of staggered olympic ring pattern.
  • This can prevent too many tomatoes from overlapping in one place so the sandwich doesn't dome.
  • Lightly season with kosher salt, flaky salt if you have it, maybe a few twists of freshly ground black pepper, and another leaf of nice chili crispy lettuce.
  • Top things up and there you have it, my ultimate BLT with homemade bread, homemade mayo, crisp yet meaty bacon, juicy thinly sliced tomatoes, and extra chili lettuce.
  • Let's take a look at that cross-section.
  • Beautiful.
  • And that's all there is to it.
  • Just do be careful because it does end up being quite a drippy sandwich with all those tomatoes.
  • Next up, our slightly more advanced version, we have our toasted marble rye bread, and I'm stepping slightly outside the BLT box with this one, so I melted on a slice of muenster cheese, still spreading with plenty of mayo,
  • Both sides, and of course the usual lettuce, bacon, tomato, salt, pepper, but let's throw a sunny side egg up on there.
  • Fried in bacon fat, nice crispy edges.
  • I know this fully disqualifies it from being called a BLT, but I don't care because when I press down on it lightly, this happens.
  • Oh yeah, that's some good egg yolk drip.
  • So it's not a BLT, it's a B-L-E-C-T, a blecht.
  • Doesn't quite roll off the tongue like BLT, but it sure rolls onto it nice.
  • Also, wow, those are some juicy tomatoes.
  • I haven't even taken a bite yet.
