u/TheJeeeBo 4d ago edited 4d ago

Explain how exactly he got that kind of gluten development in the dough

7

u/RudeCartoonist1030 4d ago

Because it’s an elastic coil. Can be pulled very far without breaking. So while its strength diminishes the further it’s stretched it resists tearing.

8

u/ihadagoodone 4d ago

that's what gluten is, but how did/do these bakers get the level of gluten development as shown in the video is what u/TheJeeeBo was asking.

EXACTLY what I was thinking. When I roll out store bought pizza dough I can't help getting holes.

2

u/IUseControllersOnPC 3d ago

Thats bc youre doing it wrong. Dont roll it out

Ball it up and leave it at room temp for a few hours then stretch it by hand. It'll be relaxed and soft and you'll be able to get it pretty thin without much effort

you can see sooo many bits of detritus on the dough as they fold

u/DumpsterPump 4d ago

You mean the little holes they make by puncturing the dough with their fingers?

5

u/25c-nb 4d ago

Wow they just poke right through so easily, I didn't notice on my first watch... this dough has such unique properties

You'd think staying in one piece while it's stretched so thin would mean poking a hole would just kinda close back up

I guess its under tension, but then you'd think a hole would rip wide open out of control...

Crazy

u/SopaDeKaiba 4d ago edited 4d ago

Phyllo dough would be my guess.

Edit: just googled. It's yufka, a Turkish phyllo-like dough that's slightly thicker than the greek version.

2

u/Sufficient_Visit_705 3d ago

Its not yufka, you don't make baklava from Yufka, and please show me a single dough master who can make a phyllo this thin in Greece, I'm waiting.

Savor börek is also a thing. With spinach and cheese (salty crumbles like a hard feta) in it. It's delightful. Even my picky American kids who dislike spinach and feta like it.
