Spring days in the French countryside - ASMR silent vlog
Bonjour!
A silent vlog today as I myself have so enjoyed spending a few days in the garden, listening to the birds (there seem to be so many all of a sudden!), the sheep and the nature sounds and just loving my simple life!
Here's the recipe for the breads I am making in this video. I like to make the dough in the evening and let it rise overnight and then bake it in the morning. It works beautifully and is super easy!
Recipe for one bread:
500g flour (I'm using 100% wholegrain spelt flour for one bread, and a mix of spelt flour and rye flour for the other bread, about 300g of spelt and 200g of rye)
instant yeast for 500g (it depends on the brand you use how much you need so check the packaging!, it can be anywhere between 7 and 14g)
10g salt
365ml lukewarm water
you will also need parchment paper and a Dutch oven (if you have one)
Mix the flour with the salt. Then add the yeast and water and stir with a spoon to combine. You don't need to knead the dough, just make sure it is all combined. Cover with a damp kitchen towel and let it sit for about 45 minutes. After 45 minutes pull the dough up on one end and fold it over the dough ball. Do this about 4 to 6 times for each dough. Cover again and let it sit at room temperature overnight (12 hours approximately).
The next morning, preheat your oven with the Dutch oven placed inside of it to 240 degrees Celsius. One the oven is at 240 degrees you need to wait about 15 minutes longer to make sure the Dutch oven is preheated completely. While the oven is preheating, transfer your dough to a floured surface, shape it into a rectangle and fold it over itself to shape a ball. Cover it with a little flour and transfer to the parchment paper. Let it rest while your oven preheats. Before putting the bread into the oven, score it with a knife. Place the dough with the parchment paper in the Dutch oven, put the lid on and put it in the oven. Turn the heat down to 220 Celsius immediately. Bake for about 30 minutes, then remove the lid and bake for 10 - 15 more minutes until the crust is nice and golden.
If you don't have a Dutch oven you can also bake the bread on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Bake at 220 for 40 - 45 minutes and put a large bowl of water in the oven when you put your dough in.

Watching you live your life is among the most enjoyable things I do. Birdsong and cat purrs are among the most beautiful sounds in nature. Thank you.
Thank you!
Yes this is what a peaceful life is all about. Being a visual person I enjoyed this vlog immensely. No talking or music to disturb the senses. So many people make vlogs & feel they have to yak away & turn in some rubbish music. WHY?? It’s lovely just seeing everything you are doing without sound except the sound of mixing & stirring & life going on. Excellent.
Thank you!
Hi thanks for sharing such a serene video just being present enjoying what life is about those breads just looked amazing thanks for posting recepie will try it take care and waiting for next video blessings for You and fam.💕
Oh, that was so lovely and relaxing!☺️
Merci
Silence is golden. ❤
Lovely Marloes! Such a relaxing format 😊❤️❤️❤️❤️. Thank you!
My pleasure!
Thank you so much for your videos. They are healing
I’m watching your video with my cat sitting beside me purring loudly as I rub my warm cup of coffee along the sides of his body. I love your videos because it is a prime example of the simple things in life being so important.
Oh that sounds heavenly!
Thanks for being joy to us😊
Oh thank you so much! That is my intention!
Another lovely video. Watching you hang out clothes, our dryer broke about 10 years ago and we never bothered replacing it. I loved the smell of clothes and linens drying in the fresh air. Thanks for showing us your bread baking method, I have the same mixer spoon and I don’t use a mechanical kneader so it was nice to see your method. Your loaves tuned out lovely, I could almost taste the bread! 🥖
Thank you! We have a dryer but I never use it… 🙂
I can smell the warm bread and the green of spring in your videos. Always good to have a calico cat too.
💜
I love this. Thank you for sharing. So peaceful. Inspires me to get out in my garden and spring clean!
My pleasure!
Love the way Olav stops to stroke Tigrette❤
She’s such a daddy’s girl 😂
The pace of life is often 100 miles an hour your video slows it right down you truly live in the moment thanks for sharing ❤🏴x
My pleasure!
I have been cooped up in my house for weeks and basically immobile due to health problems. I can’t begin to tell you how much I enjoyed today’s video and how much it lifted my spirits. Thank you Marloes for sharing your❤❤❤ day with us all. I wish it could go on and on.
I am so happy to hear that!
It must be Friday. I’m dreaming of spring days in the French Countryside (again). And what a dream. I have my shovel out and am ready to help. If only I was a couple of thousand miles closer. Your video was so relaxing. I would take a shovel and below the middle of the clothes line, dig a hole and put a coffee can in the hole, stick that branch in and fill with small pebbles to the top to keep it stable. Or a sawed off metal pole. Something so when the laundry is dry and off the line, you can pull the branch out and put to the side and restore the view.
Thank you for sharing that idea!
Just stepped by to say, much love and greetings from South Africa❤
Thank you!
Peaceful serenity and your brilliant camera. Thank you Marloes ! 🙏💕🌷
Thank you!

That was a very peaceful spring day, 🌺 and I enjoyed the silent ASMR vlog. It’s nice to see flowers blooming! It snowed here yesterday in the mountains of California.❄️
Thank you! Oooh I wouldn’t be able to deal with snow anymore this time of year!
So beautiful. So wonderful for a high stress life. ❤
Lovely video. I would be a hot mess if I didn't wear apron when baking or cooking in my kitchen. Truly amazed at how efficient and clean you are after your work.😊
😊
Thank you for a lovely relaxing video, and you've inspired me to make bread🤗 Thank you
I’m happy to hear that!

Superb! I feel like I’m sitting in a chair watching you work. And now I feel guilty for not helping.

Thank you for sharing your calming vlog. I thoroughly EnJoY the diversity you present. I loved hearing the cries of the baby lambs. Your breads looked delicious. It's the first time I've seen a Dutch whisk used. It's very efficient and eliminates sticky fingers. I'm from Waldport, OR on the Pacific Ocean😊
My pleasure!
Beautiful and serene. I wouldn’t mind having your life. ❤
🙂
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you Marloes
My pleasure!
Your video reminds me of Silence of the Tides, recorded in The Netherlands, using only the sound of the sea and nature. Beautiful.
Thank you! I have never heard of that but will look it up!
Now this is what I like! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Happy to hear that!
Ahhhhh. Thanks for the blood pressure lowering break!

My pleasure!
Watching a wrestling match with a shovel in the beginning scenes is asmr?🙃(you won , I think) looking at the results this summer certainly will be. Sometimes not having much to say says a lot, the sheep and lambs in the spring field says it all, nice video.
You can hear my determination in every “coup”. But I didn’t win, I was only able to remove the dead part but the rest of the plant is still there. Pick your battles 😂
Very relaxing video, thanks for sharing the bread recipe. May I ask for how long you baked it the oven and at which temperature?
All the info is in the description box below the video.
@@FrenchCountryLifeI can’t see it anywhere. That’s why I asked.
No worries! You can click on the text “more” just below the video and it shows the text in the description box. You have to know where to find it indeed. I copied the text here: “The next morning, preheat your oven with the Dutch oven placed inside of it to 240 degrees Celsius. Once the oven is at 240 degrees you need to wait about 15 minutes longer to make sure the Dutch oven is preheated completely. While the oven is preheating, transfer your dough to a floured surface, shape it into a rectangle and fold it over itself to shape a ball. Cover it with a little flour and transfer to the parchment paper. Let it rest while your oven preheats. Before putting the bread into the oven, score it with a knife. Place the dough with the parchment paper in the Dutch oven, put the lid on and put it in the oven. Turn the heat down to 220 Celsius immediately. Bake for about 30 minutes, then remove the lid and bake for 10 - 15 more minutes until the crust is nice and golden. If you don't have a Dutch oven you can also bake the bread on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Bake at 220 for 40 - 45 minutes and put a large bowl of water in the oven when you put your dough in.” Hope this helps!
@@FrenchCountryLifethank you indeed.
Lap cats are the best cats.
For sure!
Just beautiful. Thank you for sharing. What is your kitties name? I love that you include her!
Thank you. Her name is Tigrette!
So peaceful! This takes me back to my childhood, visiting my grandparents farm on Sundays !❤️❤️❤️
I'm so happy to hear this!@@kentkarlaschmidt151
Hi I love you home and courtyard What color is your pea gravel ? Beige or grey ??
Thanks! It’s beige. Our driveway has some grey which I hated as I would have loved to have the same color everywhere!
@@FrenchCountryLife I live in Boca Raton Florida and have a nice backyard I’m thinking of trying an area with the pea gravel now it has pebble stone that I hate Monday the Gardner will revive my backyard … I can’t wait to see the results 🙏🏻
how exciting! @@MeiraMizrahi
🥰🇨🇦😊
What were you doing with the stones you placed by the big wheel?
I was covering up a bright red thing 😂
vous êtes une "bosseuse ", mais est-ce-que le jardin ,c'est du travail ? mais si vous y trouvez vôtre bonheur qui va vous le reprocher ...et quand les oiseaux s'en mêlent ...le ciel est couvert chez vous ....bonne ambiance pour cuisiner 15h29
Hola❤ me suscribi en este momento, bello tu canal❤ te empiezo a seguir desde América Latina, sera que por favor subtítulos en español
Welcome to the channel! Most videos have subtitles, you should be able to select your language. This is a silent video so there are no subtitles!
Krijg er gewoon een heimwee gevoel bij ❤
Dat snap ik!
❤🪴🌱🥑🥗
Ah..so sweet and relaxing after chores. I'd like to apply for the cat's job...even at 77 I can't be as relaxed as she is nor have the luxury to do so. Still enjoying the 💐 😊
Haha! The job is taken I’m afraid 😂
Thank you so much for your videos. They are healing
My pleasure!
