Alright we are back at the home and garden show we are talking with Joe Bellavance and I
wish we had smell-a-vision as Emiril likes to say because we've got the smell of
fresh bread going on here Joe tell us a little bit about what we have here
Well, I bake for Joseph DeCuis restaurant and I've taken when I do for the restaurant
and I put it in a box and I include the
kitchen wares, and ingredients, and techniques, and recipes to help
people bake at home what I bake at DeCuis. Now, Joseph DeCuis, a top 50 restaurant
in the country, the bread is outstanding
you make it with this type of stuff
yes very simple i don't
use any special ovens or anything like that frequently bakers will have steam injection
--steam injection ovens
and who can afford that at home? So,
with my technique i'm using a covered stock pot and so as the
water in the dough heats up, it gets trapped by the cover and it steams itself
and that's how you get the nice, crunchy ,chewy crust. How'd you come up with this concept?
Well first one is
I love bread and tried to bake good bread for years and failed miserably
and then i found a recipe online that made sense but it was little
fussy and kind of expensive and so i kind of stripped it all down to it's bear essentials
to make it as simple as possible because i'm lazy
and I found some inexpensive way to do it and
speaking of lazy it's a no knead recipe
so you don't get the big cardio and strength work out as
you're making your bread. You just mix it and let it rise for eighteen to twenty four
hours, shape it, and bake it.
I've tried to make bread myself at home a few times, it never works out what's
different with your kit?
Even I cant mess it up.
This is a really--it really is fool-proof, it's super simple, I've gotten
tremendous feedback from my customers, people who were always terrified of
making bread who are now baking regularly so it's very gratifying to me. And how
people get your product?
They can either come here and visit me at the show at booth three-four-six
or they can go online to breadkit.com
Alright, there you go five minutes of putting the bread together,
let it sit for eighteen hours or so,
cook it, and there you see what comes out of the five. Joe Bellavance, thanks for joining
us, Tara, we'll send it back to you.
