Natasha, as a complete novice at sourdough bread making and frankly any form of bread making, I watched a number of TH-cam videos including yours to get some tips. Note that I made my starter from a different video which has proven to be great. I learned a lot from all the "how to make sourdough bread" videos but yours provided much more details including some important nuances on how to do this. I wrote down details on each of my attempts to learn from my mistakes. My first attempt was ok but it had some issues. The second tasted good but failed in other ways. The third was fantastic! I reviewed your video at various points on the third one to make sure I did it right and I wanted to thank you. I'll make it more times to get better, but now I know I'm on the right track.
@@banoisaigon First one was a bit moist in the middle - not doughy but not cooked enough. I discovered that my oven lies when it says its preheated to 500 degrees. I now wait around 1/2 hour to ensure the oven is closer to or at 500 degrees. Also, the bottom was burnt in places even with the pizza stone. I now put rice between the pan and parchment paper. The second was too dense and didn't rise enough. I think it was a problem with the starter in that I waited a suboptimal time to use it. The starter is a tricky thing as sometimes its great and other times it weakly passes the float test but works anyway. I always use the float test now which gives me a better read on when its a good time to start the process. Hope that helps.
@@StephenSmith-k1p I learned from your tips and I followed her recipe to a T but couldn’t wait for it to cool down. We ate half a loaf right after it came out the oven. It’s pretty good for my first time. Thanks for your tips.
@@banoisaigon I'm happy that you found my tips useful and even happier that your first one turned out pretty good! I know what you mean about not waiting for it to cool down. I usually let it sit for about 2 hours before digging in - its always a long wait but I think worth it! Continued success to you!
After months of frustration and countless recipes that just didn’t work, I was about ready to give up on bread-making. But then I followed Weissman’s instructions to create a starter and used Natasha’s video as my guide-it was my North Star! The result? The most delicious bread I've ever made. It brought me so much joy; cooking is truly about moments like this. Thank you!
I started baking Sourdough during the shutdown of 2020. I haven't made one in quite a while so I decided I needed a refresher on the steps. I'm so glad I found your video. Thank you for not dragging it out like many do. My dough is ready to go in the fridge. In the oven tomorrow. I'll let you know how it comes out.😊
Turned out pretty decent. Crumb wasn't super open but tasted great. I don't think I built up enough strength in the dough before I shaped it and put it in fridge. Going to start another one this weekend.
Never have I seen a video such as yours that makes a very tough recipe look not only manageable but fun. Yes, there are a number of steps involved but if my Sourdough Bread looks as good as yours, it's all the encouragement (and confidence) I need to try making it myself.
Thanks, Natasha. Even if I didn't bake bread or make starters I'd still watch your videos over and over -- you are such a joy to watch. But, I am making your starter: days 4 and 5 and my rye-based starter is going gang busters. Nice to think I'm raising all those little yeasties. Soon it will be time to try the baking.
I do my 3 stretch and folds every 30 mintues right after mixing the dough. Then leave it covered to bulk ferment. Pre shape, final shape and to the fridge. Bake the following day. Yours looks great 😋
Thanks, Natasha. Your video just assisted me through making my first sourdough loaf. The finished product was amazing. Only problem I had was that I pulled my dough from the fridge and scored it about 15 mins before the oven was at 500, so the dough just barely started to fall and flatten, versus remaining as round as the banneton. Next time I will take your advice more literally, when you said that the dough does not need to leave the fridge until you’re ready to bake. Thanks, again, for taking the time to demonstrate this recipe
@@natalialopes719 I never even considered that. Thank you for the tip! I recently made this recipe again with a different starter; the flavor was phenomenal, but the dough fell almost immediately when I removed it from the banneton. Wondering if I need to add more bread flour for structure, especially when the stretch and folds are done with wet hands, likely adding some moisture to the mix.
About to start my VERY FIRST dough. And your tip that it can sit in the refrigerator overnight is blowing my mind! I was told it had to proof for 5-8 hours after all the folding steps. So this step is that step? If so, GAME CHANGER!
Thank you, Natasha! You did it again. This video, like your focaccia video, simplified the process. I have watched numerous videos and your video of putting together a sourdough loaf is the best. Thank you also for the advice of using the baking stone to help prevent the over browning of the bottom of the loaf and the rice flour.
Hey Natasha! Sour dough bread was what I taught myself to make during COVID lockdown. There truly is nothing like it ! I've made hundreds of loaves at this point. And you're right, it's actually pretty easy, once you get past your own initial "that looks hard" thoughts! Everyone should try this! I use a dutch oven to bake mine, and spray some water into it (15-20 sprays using a cheap plant sprayer) before the first half of baking. Creates steam and keeps the dough soft a little longer - seems to help the ear pop (which is visually pleasing, but doesn't really matter otherwise - haha). I've already got your cookbook btw - love it! Everyone should get that too !! Thanks for sharing your positivity and energy and your love of cooking! Peace!! xo 🤗
Use the deeper side for the cast iron cooking. That thin top has less surface area for heat to move. Mine never look like that and i put nothing below it. Just a tip. And usually it will shorten ur end time cooking because of the taller wall. Hope this helps. Love ur crumb look too. Nice air pockets

So, just pulled my loaf out of the oven, and it's looking perfect! I followed your instructions as closely as I can and voila! It's cooling now! Smells good My starter is three weeks old today. Very happy with this. Thank you for your detailed video!
You have such a Happy and Bubbly Voice , Natasha ! A joy to watch you work , doing what You do ! This is the Second Video from You that I am watching !
I will be back and let everybody know how my bread turned out. The one thing about this whole process, is it is forgiving. Plus if it doesn’t go right the first time keep doing it until you get better. Oh, and happy belated birthday. Hope it was a good one. ♥️
@@Jmartinez52 well I can give you an update on my sourdough once I bake mine either tomorrow or the day after. I got my starter already and turned out extremely well to be my first time ever. I am doing my research on how to make my sourdugh without a scale bc that is how I made my starter just by the eye kinda.
A gf gave me an amazing healthy starter she grew from scratch a year ago. I have never made any kind of bread. With lots of friends giving me great advice and this video which brought it all together(I am primarily a visual learner), my first two loaves came out beautiful and tasted amazing! Thank you! Second loaves baking tmro, I hope it wasn’t beginners luck! I did a whole lotta wingin’ it 😂
My Dad kept sourdough for thirty years. I remember chelsea buns and pancakes and poppy seed dinner rolls. Dumplings and strawberry shortcake, even pizza. But dinner rolls for every Sunday dinner. Yummm
Natasha, I used your sourdough starter recipe and created my own starter. Today, i used this recipe and made my fist sourdough loaf, and it turned out amazing. Thank you for sharing your talents.
400 g bread flour, or all-purpose flour, plus more to dust 55 g rye flour*, or whole wheat or bread flour 10 g fine sea salt 345 g filtered water, or dechlorinated water or spring water, luke-warm up to 85˚F. 100 g active sourdough starter Rice flour, optional for dusting the bread basket
Thank you so much, this video was so helpful, and after three attempts I’ve made my perfect loaf! I’ve made some modifications like adding honey to cut some of the sour taste, bulk ferment for 8 hours, and spraying water on the dough before baking. The stretch and folds and cold proof in the fridge is what really made the different for me in my sourdough journey ❤
Great tutorial. have made a few loaves by now from different recipes, but always wondered what are the steps from beginning to end. You are actually the first tutorial I watched addressing all the questions and important steps with clear and concise instructions and reasoning. Thank you!
I have watched several videos and I love your presentation, explanation, and video capture of the steps! You and your husband make a great team. Thank you for sharing your craft and knowledge of cooking and baking.
Thank you, Natasha! I started from scratch and it worked! I think I kept my house a little too cold because it took a few weeks to get an active starter. Then the parchment paper stuck to the bottom when I baked it the first time. I am not sure why but they look beautiful! Thanks again!
Just made my very first loaf with the help of your video!! I’m sensing a new obsession… Thank you so much for not only talking through what you are doing in the video, but then also pairing with the written instructions. Extremely helpful when one instruction didn’t land or I had a question, I could cross check with the other! Fool proof!!😂🤩
I too, have decided to steer away from store-bought bread it’s just not healthy. I’d rather know what is going into my food. I am on a journey of reading labels and prepping and all those good things. I have my first starter I prepared today, can’t wait to start adding in the extra flour and water and then eventually baking my first loaf. Thank you for your video. ♥️
Hi Natasha I am 8 years old and I love baking so much!!! and I have a sourdough starter in the fridge that is peaked and I want to bake some sourdough bread with it so I will make this❤
thank you Natasha. I made 2 sourdough loafs and they were amazing!!!!! my 4 other siblings and Mom and Dad loved it!!!!!! we tagged you on instagram.❤❤
Ok. I followed your instructions to the T. And oh my goodness, first ever sourdough bread I've ever made and it was delicious. I would love to see you make sourdough cinnamon rolls and scones. I'm needing to do those.....😂 Love your channel.
I am a diabetic so sour bread is more healthier for my blood sugar. According to a 2019 editorial review in Aging Clinical and Experimental Research, sourdough bread has a lower glycemic index and glycemic load than white bread and whole-wheat bread that is not fermented. Whole-wheat sourdough is higher in fiber, which additionally lowers the strain it puts on your blood glucose.
Thank you Natasha! You did just that- show us with beautiful details to a beautiful sour dough bread. Saved for my soon to be one too! You help us, your followers up our family's menus so perfectly. 💞💞 Bless you & whole family during this Lent 🙏🏼
I followed this recipe and OMG finally after I failed 100 times, this turned out so good. I also saw the video on how to make the sourdough starter. Thanks ❤
Made my very first loaf yesterday following this recipe and it looked professional! I was so proud. I tried a second loaf using a different youtube tutorial and it didn't turn out anywhere near as perfect and open as this one. Thank youuuuuu!!!
Thank you Natasha. This is now my go to video for sourdough bread. I’ve been learning how to bake it for the past 6-8 months and I think I finally get it. I guess I’ll find out tomorrow when I bake my breads. Fingers crossed. 🤞🏻😊
Thank you very much for this, it's got exactly all the instructions I learnt when I took a sourdough course and thereafter I managed to always bake successful sourdough breads. Can you please give more details on how you freeze and thaw your bread? I usually put it in a ziplock bag, then thaw it inside the ziplock bag overnight so moisture stays inside. But any advice will be appreciated. Thanks!
Hi Nadou. I usually thaw mine on the counter too. Don’t know that I have any special tips or advise to share on that. :) To freeze, I wrap it in foil. Then place in a freezer zip-top bag
I absolutely love how she gives no measurements when she just says flours, even on the website it’s the same thing. I love when a recipe just says ingredients but doesn’t give you measurements, okay I’m gonna use 5 g of starter and three tons of flour. Thanks
I went to recipe and printed it ! 100 grams active starter, 345 g filtered water, 55 g rye or w wheat flour, 400 g bread flour, 10 g fine sea salt ( rice flour for dusting)
Ohhh my god. I tried my first loaf a few weeks ago with another recipe and it didn’t work out, I think I overproofed and it didn’t rise. I followed this recipe and it is now in the oven with the most beautiful rise. Thank you, thank you, thank you 💜
Thank you for this recipe. Just a piece of advice please please please tie your up !!!!! It will stop you from touching it while you cook . Thanks again for your hard work .
Those sourdoughs looks amazing, and yummy 😂, well done 👍 👏, thank you sharing dear. I love sourdough, and I have been wanting for so long to make these, I have done my research on sourdough, and it has really good benefits. Sourdough reminds me just like the Bible times, and how they use to bake their bread, from harvesting wheat, then milling the flour, everything they ate was alive meaning (non-processed, no chemicals, no GMO) and the results were great, lots of nutrients, clean and healthy food, lots of vitamins and fibre. I’m sure their foods were all organic, what a blessing it is that we have so many Biblical foods, thank you again and many blessings 🙏❤️🕊🌸.
Just made my first Sourdough following your video. It turned out perfectly. Thank you I am now addicted. Your videos are great and so easy to follow. 🤩
I love your videos. You make the process so easy to follow and you keep it entertaining! I made my first sourdough loaf following your video and it turned out fabulously!
I was always wondering why my bread has very nice crust and texture but why it is kind of gooey in the center, now I know, my hubby alway cuts it too early...thank you for pointing this out!
Im a 250lb Hispanic dad that loves cars and Spanish music. Im the last guy you would expect to be baking his own sourdough lol but I’ll tell you this, getting started is hard, because it’s all new. My tips: 1) get good brand flour. 2) starter is much tougher than you think, don’t stress on babying it so much like I did lol 3) get a good digital scale. Then just follow TH-cam videos and you’re a master baker lol
Just started my sourdough starter 3 days ago per your recipe! So excited to make some bread! 😊 Hopefully you can also give us recipes to use with our discards. That would be amazing! 🤩
Thank u Natasha, I tried my first ever sourdough bread from scratch, even the starter and it turned out picture perfect. Appreciate your guidance throughout the process, I feel like a pro now 😊
Thank you so much for your channel! I love how thorough and detailed you are and explaining your recipes. I've just got into making sourdough. I struggled with the starter until I watched your video on making a starter. That solved that problem. I tried your recipe for making sourdough bread. After the bulk fermentation and forming the dough and letting it rest for another 20 minutes, it looses its shape. I sprinkled with more flour, reshaped it, and it still doesn't seem to maintain its shape very well. This has happened twice now. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong as I follow your recipe to a T. My starter is very active and at least doubles before I use it. I tried an experiment with my third loaf. I kept everything the same except I added 25 g more flour (all purpose hard red winter wheat flour from Costco). It still does not hold its shape after the bulk fermentation. It still seemed that the dough was too wet. Thoughts on what I might be doing wrong?
Hi Brian! Are you using a food scale to weight your flour? If not, I would suggest making that change first. Depending on the climate of your location, you may need to add a bit more flour (where I live it’s dry). Also- if you use a pot that is too large, the dough will spread more. I hope that helps
This is my first sourdough loaf attempt and it turned out great! My whole family loves this recipe and my oven is preheating for another loaf right now. Thanks, Natasha!
Omg your video just made me realize i used apf instead of bread flour 😮😬 oh gosh i was wondering why it was much wetter and ive had to do 6 S&F instead of the usual 4 im hoping it turns out good
Theres a YT channel called Isabel Paige and she also cooks a lot with sourdough and just like you she saids u can make so many recipes with sourdough her cookbooks are called Tiny Pantry l & ll hope this helps with ideas for you Natasha or anyone reading this…thank you for all the tips and tricks 😉 i will definitely revisit your video over and over for when i finally make Sourdough bread 🥖 so thank you for sharing this i feel like it’s a sign and a push to get the loaf rolling 😅
My weekly loaf. Natasha... u can try do the lamination step and add some seeds, nuts, choc chips, raisin, cranberry, cheese and jalapeno, u name it. It's divine 😋👌
Thanks to this video I made one of my best breads so far in my sourdough journey. I appreciate you taking time to make and share this tutorial with us 🙏💕 God bless!
Love your presentation. Simple. Easy to follow. Fun. Just wondering, how much of each ingredient? I know the proper amount of hydration in the dough is critical...by experience! Thanks again!
Oh, I just seen your video and I cannot wait to make my first loaf! I’ve watched your video on how to make the starter, so needless to say it’s my first jar is on the counter behind me and already I’m counting down the days. And I will most definitely let you know how it turns out.😊
I asked for sourdough bread and dumplings a few weeks ago and here we are with this amazing recipe! Thank you dear for sharing your wonderful recipes with us!!
Just read this guide, and I’m so inspired to try baking sourdough! 🍞✨ Excited to use my Dutch oven from home Kit decor-it looks great and works perfectly for bread baking! 🏡❤
Hi Natasha I just came across your video thanks for being straightforward with all your steps not hiding anything and your lovely personality. I've watched many videos and some drive you crazy with silly background music and not telling you what they use. There are 2 points especially. 1. with sourdough starter which was first flour to start with in the wreck jar. 2. when you start to bake which flour you used to top up the starter. 3. Can you also include celsius temperature. 4. To purchase are you an affiliate or is there a link where to buy. Continue with your cares and honesty. ❤
Hi Rosa! Here is the blog post on the starter recipe, please read through for instructions and suggestions on which flour to start with and how to feed it. natashaskitchen.com/sourdough-starter-recipe/ Here is my other post on feeding and maintaining your starter once it’s established. This post has very pertinent information and troubleshooting tips that will be helpful and informative for your sourdough journey. natashaskitchen.com/how-to-feed-sourdough-starter/ Lastly- yes, I am an Amazon affiliate. I link my products in the description of this TH-cam post but also link them in the blog posts that I recommended above. If you see any words in red font throughout the blog post, it’s because it’s a link. You can click on it and it will direct your to the link for purchase. I hope that helps.
I grate my butter if it hard lol. ❤ I was reading the label recently in a loaf of white bread it used to be Snyders bread. I wont say the brand now. But you all know. There was a cancer warning on it. ! May cause cancer. I couldn't believe it. Sour dough is the way to go. Keep up the good work kid.

Making this bread is like getting a part time job.
And both are ways to sustain yourself. Amazing.
Once you understand the steps, its really not too time consuming or complicated :)
Yeah, but I can't afford to pay myself. 😮😅

Do you know his method? Was it in the fridge he kept the starter?
@elizabethkollerer6449 yes he kept it in the fridge in a 2l plastic ice cream tub
He would feed it every week. It would sometimes overflow. Then he would take most of it and bake.... Feed the remainder and start all over

I have watched several videos and I love your presentation, explanation, and video capture of the steps! You and your husband make a great team. Thank you for sharing your craft and knowledge of cooking and baking.
Thank you so much!
Happy Woman's Day, Natasha!
Thank you, Natasha! I started from scratch and it worked! I think I kept my house a little too cold because it took a few weeks to get an active starter. Then the parchment paper stuck to the bottom when I baked it the first time. I am not sure why but they look beautiful! Thanks again!
Wonderful!
Cant wait to make this soon for me i never had sourdough bread before perfect for my after office snacks
Just made my very first loaf with the help of your video!! I’m sensing a new obsession… Thank you so much for not only talking through what you are doing in the video, but then also pairing with the written instructions. Extremely helpful when one instruction didn’t land or I had a question, I could cross check with the other! Fool proof!!😂🤩
You're so welcome! I'm glad you found it helpful!
I too, have decided to steer away from store-bought bread it’s just not healthy. I’d rather know what is going into my food. I am on a journey of reading labels and prepping and all those good things. I have my first starter I prepared today, can’t wait to start adding in the extra flour and water and then eventually baking my first loaf. Thank you for your video. ♥️
same! everything's got rapeseed oil and E's! I hope you're keeping it up and doing well
Hi Natasha I am 8 years old and I love baking so much!!! and I have a sourdough starter in the fridge that is peaked and I want to bake some sourdough bread with it so I will make this❤
That’s wonderful! I’d love to see a picture. You can tag me on Instagram/Facebook if you are able to. #natashaskitchen
thank you Natasha. I made 2 sourdough loafs and they were amazing!!!!! my 4 other siblings and Mom and Dad loved it!!!!!! we tagged you on instagram.❤❤
Ok. I followed your instructions to the T. And oh my goodness, first ever sourdough bread I've ever made and it was delicious.
I would love to see you make sourdough cinnamon rolls and scones. I'm needing to do those.....😂 Love your channel.
Wonderful! Great job! I’m so glad that it was a success. ❤️ Stay tuned for more. 😊
Thank you I'm definitely going to try this.
I am a diabetic so sour bread is more healthier for my blood sugar. According to a 2019 editorial review in Aging Clinical and Experimental Research, sourdough bread has a lower glycemic index and glycemic load than white bread and whole-wheat bread that is not fermented. Whole-wheat sourdough is higher in fiber, which additionally lowers the strain it puts on your blood glucose.
I've baked sourdough for over 5 years and this tutorial is excellent.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you liked it.
I have the starter ready! Oh so excited!!
Started my starter yesterday with your starter video, I can't wait til I get to this stage!!!!
You are going to love this process!
Definitely Will Make This Delicious Recipe!! 😋😋
Hope you enjoy!
I've been watching your channel for years. Please keep posting !!!
Thank you Natasha! You did just that- show us with beautiful details to a beautiful sour dough bread. Saved for my soon to be one too! You help us, your followers up our family's menus so perfectly. 💞💞 Bless you & whole family during this Lent 🙏🏼
You are so welcome!
You are able to give simple step by step instructions! Thank you for giving me the confidence to try sourdough 💕. Ordering that cookbook
You are very welcome. Thank you
I Love the Sourdough Bread and is so good 🍞
Me too.
I followed this recipe and OMG finally after I failed 100 times, this turned out so good. I also saw the video on how to make the sourdough starter. Thanks ❤
Yay great job! I’m so glad that it was a success!
Thank you Natasha!
Made it yesterday put it in fridge over night and baked today……it was AMAZING!!! Thank you for such a great step by step instructions. 😍
Glad you liked it!!
I feel like one loaf should cost $250 after all this
Made my very first loaf yesterday following this recipe and it looked professional! I was so proud. I tried a second loaf using a different youtube tutorial and it didn't turn out anywhere near as perfect and open as this one. Thank youuuuuu!!!
That’s wonderful to hear. Thank you for sharing
Today is my birthday
🎉Happy Birthday🎉🎉🎉
Happy Birthday! 🥳
Happy Birthday 🎉
Happy birthday 🎂🎁🎈
Happy birthday!
Thank you Natasha. This is now my go to video for sourdough bread. I’ve been learning how to bake it for the past 6-8 months and I think I finally get it. I guess I’ll find out tomorrow when I bake my breads. Fingers crossed. 🤞🏻😊
Love this step by step. Makes the process much less daunting. I was hoping you would show how to make, from scratch, the starter...the first starter.
Just buy a dehydrated starter. I prefer them over scratch ones. They live longer and waste less flour.
Thank you very much for this, it's got exactly all the instructions I learnt when I took a sourdough course and thereafter I managed to always bake successful sourdough breads. Can you please give more details on how you freeze and thaw your bread? I usually put it in a ziplock bag, then thaw it inside the ziplock bag overnight so moisture stays inside. But any advice will be appreciated. Thanks!
Hi Nadou. I usually thaw mine on the counter too. Don’t know that I have any special tips or advise to share on that.
:)
To freeze, I wrap it in foil. Then place in a freezer zip-top bag
@@Natashaskitchen thank you, so you also keep it in the wrapping and bag when you thaw it? And do you put it in the oven a bit for a crisp?
I absolutely love how she gives no measurements when she just says flours, even on the website it’s the same thing. I love when a recipe just says ingredients but doesn’t give you measurements, okay I’m gonna use 5 g of starter and three tons of flour. Thanks
You’ll see the complete ingredients and measurements in the written recipe. Click Jump to recipe to go to the recipe card directly.
I went to recipe and printed it ! 100 grams active starter, 345 g filtered water, 55 g rye or w wheat flour, 400 g bread flour, 10 g fine sea salt ( rice flour for dusting)
Ohhh my god. I tried my first loaf a few weeks ago with another recipe and it didn’t work out, I think I overproofed and it didn’t rise. I followed this recipe and it is now in the oven with the most beautiful rise. Thank you, thank you, thank you 💜
You are so very welcome!
Thank you for this recipe. Just a piece of advice please please please tie your up !!!!! It will stop you from touching it while you cook . Thanks again for your hard work .
She’s adorable!! That bread looks so good.
So excited for this video. I love sourdough and I'm just learning how to make it.
Hope you enjoy!
Those sourdoughs looks amazing, and yummy 😂, well done 👍 👏, thank you sharing dear. I love sourdough, and I have been wanting for so long to make these, I have done my research on sourdough, and it has really good benefits.
Sourdough reminds me just like the Bible times, and how they use to bake their bread, from harvesting wheat, then milling the flour, everything they ate was alive meaning (non-processed, no chemicals, no GMO) and the results were great, lots of nutrients, clean and healthy food, lots of vitamins and fibre. I’m sure their foods were all organic, what a blessing it is that we have so many Biblical foods, thank you again and many blessings 🙏❤️🕊🌸.
so excited! thank you for such helpful tips. i hope mine turns out like yours! a cookbook too? yes ❤
Happy International Women’s Day and the bread looks delicious 😋
Merci Natasha, very enjoyable presentation.
Just made my first Sourdough following your video. It turned out perfectly. Thank you I am now addicted. Your videos are great and so easy to follow. 🤩
Fantastic!!! Thanks for sharing that with us.
I love your videos. You make the process so easy to follow and you keep it entertaining! I made my first sourdough loaf following your video and it turned out fabulously!
Thank you
Very nice recipie Natasha! They looks amazing! Happy womens day! Have a nice day and good weekend! Have a good week! 👍👏🍴
I was always wondering why my bread has very nice crust and texture but why it is kind of gooey in the center, now I know, my hubby alway cuts it too early...thank you for pointing this out!
Thank you🙏 a job well done🙌❤️ appreciate your patience & clarity👍❤️💯
I am glad you found it helpful!
Im a 250lb Hispanic dad that loves cars and Spanish music. Im the last guy you would expect to be baking his own sourdough lol but I’ll tell you this, getting started is hard, because it’s all new. My tips: 1) get good brand flour. 2) starter is much tougher than you think, don’t stress on babying it so much like I did lol 3) get a good digital scale.
Then just follow TH-cam videos and you’re a master baker lol
I try so many starter sourdough recipe and the only one work for me was yours. Im excited to start baking my bread.
Natasha, I made a perfect loaf of bread after watching this video (over and over and over😉). Thanks so, so much!!!🥰🤗
Yay that’s wonderful!!
Just started my sourdough starter 3 days ago per your recipe! So excited to make some bread! 😊 Hopefully you can also give us recipes to use with our discards. That would be amazing! 🤩
Thank u Natasha, I tried my first ever sourdough bread from scratch, even the starter and it turned out picture perfect. Appreciate your guidance throughout the process, I feel like a pro now 😊
Wonderful to hear. You’re very welcome.
Thank you so much for your channel! I love how thorough and detailed you are and explaining your recipes. I've just got into making sourdough. I struggled with the starter until I watched your video on making a starter. That solved that problem. I tried your recipe for making sourdough bread. After the bulk fermentation and forming the dough and letting it rest for another 20 minutes, it looses its shape. I sprinkled with more flour, reshaped it, and it still doesn't seem to maintain its shape very well. This has happened twice now. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong as I follow your recipe to a T. My starter is very active and at least doubles before I use it. I tried an experiment with my third loaf. I kept everything the same except I added 25 g more flour (all purpose hard red winter wheat flour from Costco). It still does not hold its shape after the bulk fermentation. It still seemed that the dough was too wet. Thoughts on what I might be doing wrong?
Hi Brian! Are you using a food scale to weight your flour? If not, I would suggest making that change first. Depending on the climate of your location, you may need to add a bit more flour (where I live it’s dry). Also- if you use a pot that is too large, the dough will spread more. I hope that helps
Love you Natasha! Thank you for a great and fun video! Will try your recipe.
You’re welcome and enjoy!!
This is my first sourdough loaf attempt and it turned out great! My whole family loves this recipe and my oven is preheating for another loaf right now. Thanks, Natasha!
Great job that’s awesome!!
Dear. Atasha! Very many thanks for all your clear instructions
My pleasure 😊
Omg your video just made me realize i used apf instead of bread flour 😮😬 oh gosh i was wondering why it was much wetter and ive had to do 6 S&F instead of the usual 4 im hoping it turns out good
Theres a YT channel called Isabel Paige and she also cooks a lot with sourdough and just like you she saids u can make so many recipes with sourdough her cookbooks are called Tiny Pantry l & ll hope this helps with ideas for you Natasha or anyone reading this…thank you for all the tips and tricks 😉 i will definitely revisit your video over and over for when i finally make Sourdough bread 🥖 so thank you for sharing this i feel like it’s a sign and a push to get the loaf rolling 😅
My weekly loaf. Natasha... u can try do the lamination step and add some seeds, nuts, choc chips, raisin, cranberry, cheese and jalapeno, u name it. It's divine 😋👌
Wonderful vid! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
I am so excited made my first sour dough bread with your receipe thank you so much
You are so welcome! So happy to hear that it turned out well!
I’m in love with this sourdough bread! ❤
I can’t find the measurements, could you please write it? Thank you so much 🌸
Hi. I have the recipe linked in the description. natashaskitchen.com/sourdough-bread-recipe/
Thanks to this video I made one of my best breads so far in my sourdough journey. I appreciate you taking time to make and share this tutorial with us 🙏💕 God bless!
Also just want to say I love your expressions and reactions throughout the video, so genuine and relatable 😹
You are so welcome! So glad it worked out for you
Looks delicious. I wonder if you make small rolls and then bake ?
Love your presentation. Simple. Easy to follow. Fun. Just wondering, how much of each ingredient? I know the proper amount of hydration in the dough is critical...by experience! Thanks again!
Here’s the recipe natashaskitchen.com/sourdough-bread-recipe/
Happy woman day ⭐️, my mouth is watering 😍, that crispy crust aaa it’s heaven
Oh, I just seen your video and I cannot wait to make my first loaf! I’ve watched your video on how to make the starter, so needless to say it’s my first jar is on the counter behind me and already I’m counting down the days. And I will most definitely let you know how it turns out.😊
Wonderful! I’d love to see it. Tags on Instagram or Facebook #natashaskitchen
Thank you for your book, got it on Kindle, you will make a micro chef out of me yet. Best wishes.
Omg! I'm so excited to start my sourdough journey. Thank you. Love all your recipe videos! ❤️🍞
You are so welcome!

Yes please do!
I asked for sourdough bread and dumplings a few weeks ago and here we are with this amazing recipe! Thank you dear for sharing your wonderful recipes with us!!
Nice bread 🍞 😋 looks great!
Just read this guide, and I’m so inspired to try baking sourdough! 🍞✨ Excited to use my Dutch oven from home Kit decor-it looks great and works perfectly for bread baking! 🏡❤
Fantastic! I hope you’ll enjoy the recipes that you will try with your new oven!
Hi Natasha I just came across your video thanks for being straightforward with all your steps not hiding anything and your lovely personality. I've watched many videos and some drive you crazy with silly background music and not telling you what they use. There are 2 points especially.
1. with sourdough starter which was first flour to start with in the wreck jar.
2. when you start to bake which flour you used to top up the starter.
3. Can you also include celsius temperature.
4. To purchase are you an affiliate or is there a link where to buy.
Continue with your cares and honesty.
❤
Hi Rosa! Here is the blog post on the starter recipe, please read through for instructions and suggestions on which flour to start with and how to feed it.
natashaskitchen.com/sourdough-starter-recipe/
Here is my other post on feeding and maintaining your starter once it’s established. This post has very pertinent information and troubleshooting tips that will be helpful and informative for your sourdough journey. natashaskitchen.com/how-to-feed-sourdough-starter/
Lastly- yes, I am an Amazon affiliate. I link my products in the description of this TH-cam post but also link them in the blog posts that I recommended above. If you see any words in red font throughout the blog post, it’s because it’s a link. You can click on it and it will direct your to the link for purchase. I hope that helps.
I've been Sourdoughing for a while, but I learned a few tips and tricks from her! Great video that's thorough from start to finish!
Glad it was helpful!
I grate my butter if it hard lol. ❤ I was reading the label recently in a loaf of white bread it used to be Snyders bread. I wont say the brand now. But you all know. There was a cancer warning on it. ! May cause cancer. I couldn't believe it. Sour dough is the way to go. Keep up the good work kid.
