I've been trying to master sourdough for a month. I tried your recipe and method and my bread was amazing!!! I've made several loaves since then and they are always perfect. It surprises me how I get such a good rise in the oven too. Thank you so much for this video!
I just had a sourdough fail. I couldn’t get my bread to rise. The stretch and folds went beautifully. Let it rest overnight and it came out soft and mushy. I caved and added yeast.😢😢😢
@bpapso what came out soft and mushy? How old is your starter? And I really need to know what your starter looked like before you started. Bubbly, big bubbles tiny bubbles, thin, thick, smell, etc. Mine doesn't rise until it's baked, then it'll triple. Remember, sourdough doesn't act like bought yeast.
My dough is cold proofing in the fridge as we speak.. its so exciting! My sourdough journey has been one disaster after another and it finally looks like i may get 2 loaves completed. I cannot thank you enough. I was about ready to throw in the towel. You teach so well, you dont over complicate instruction and honestly you absolutely made me believe i could do it. Thank you so much! ❤

@@BootsandBountyHomestead Well I did it! 😃 Two beautiful boules is it?, I was only doing one, one Dutch oven.. for now, but when I saw how the 1st one came out I was so excited I got caught up in the moment and had to do the 2nd one. Yes I cried happy tears too 😂 I'm not going to sleep a wink tonight waiting until we can slice into one tomorrow... It's like Xmas Eve 😁 once again, thank you so so much ❤️
I just ordered some if your starter. I have one I did from scratch , my first ever. My first loaves were tough hard thick crust and gummy no flavor insides. Now I find you. Loved watching you. I’m trying again tomorrow with my starter, until yours comes. Then I do some more! I can’t wait to do things your way! Thank you.
You are so welcome! Sourdough is fun to make and so glad that I can help others gain the knowledge on how to make it for themselves. Thank you for watching.
Thank you, I stumbled on your channel accidentally, for some reason you started explaining at the right pace that I started to make the bread with you. I had to starter ready but i did not know who’s recipe I saved to go with . your recipes for the dough turned out really well. Now is about 8 pm 2 dough balls in the fridge to ferment overnight to be baked tomorrow on Memorial Day. Thanks
Dear Casey, a miracle has happened. I made one loaf according to your recipe and instructions. It came out absolutely fabulous. Many thanks for your time and effort to teach us. Greetings from Austria.
If you don’t have one or don’t want to fuss with a dutch oven (I find them dangerous and heavy) simply place an inverted cookie sheet in the oven, slide your loaf onto it and cover it with an inverted stainless steel mixing bowl. Use a mister to spray the top of the uncooked loaf and the inside of the bowl before baking for great crust.
I think the Dutch ovens are just gorgeous specially the colored ones but they're so heavy for me and I agree they are dangerous cuz they're heavy so I'm going to try your idea thanks for sharing😊
I really like how you explain things and the camera placement is so good. I feel like I’m right beside you, looking over your shoulder. I’m going to try your recipe when my starter is mature enough in the next couple of days. Thank you.
I bought your Olivia starter and it is fabulous! Thank you! I have tried watching all the fancy channels and I had success for the first time or the best loaf yet watching this and using your starter! She is the best!!🙌
A BIG thank you for sharing your recipe and experience!!! I have made this several times now and am amazed at the results each time. Friends and family rave at the presentation and taste. Your softer sandwich loaf using the same recipe with different cooking method turned out great as well...Can't thank you enough!!! 10+/10
I have been making sourdough since 2020, when it became everyone’s favorite past time. I have used many recipes. I haven’t had consistent results until this recipe and procedure. Thank you so much!! ❤
To determine the hydration level of a sourdough bread recipe, you can calculate it by dividing the total weight of water by the total weight of flour and then multiplying by 100 to get the percentage. Here's the calculation for the given recipe: Total water weight: 362.5g Total flour weight: 500g Hydration level = (Total water / Total flour) * 100 Hydration level = (362.5g / 500g) * 100 Hydration level ≈ 72.5% Therefore, the hydration level of the sourdough bread recipe with 125g sourdough starter, 362.5g water, 12.5g salt, and 500g all-purpose flour is approximately 72.5%. This hydration level falls within the typical range for sourdough bread and should result in a dough that is moderately hydrated and manageable for baking. Enjoy making your sourdough bread with this recipe!
Your recipe and instructions were foolproof! Thank you so much!!! We were about ready to give up on sourdough and then found this video. 2 really nice loaves. I won’t be following any other recipe. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
I just made it today with Einkorn as my starter and organic white flour. My partner has ALS and I am so proud today he said it’s the best bread I’ve made. Thank you sooo much for helping me give him a great bread in his not so long time left. ❤
You have demonstrated and explained making the bread using the starter better than anyone on TH-cam I've watched. Believe me, I've watched plenty! Thank you for your video.
I live in Arizona where it's hot year round I keep my ac on 70°. So I turn my oven light on and put it on warm for 10 mins. Then turn it off bout 20 mins before my dough rests, and then I rest it in the oven. And I get the best rise. Other wise I'd be sweating with a flat round lol.
I'm in beginning stages of my sourdough journey and I've tried so many peoples recipes then get them mixed up and forget which recipe was what. Some of them turned out great, others not so great. Today I made your 1 loaf recipe and it turned out great!!I could only let it cool for 45 minutes before I had to cut an end piece. So, so good! I could've maybe left it in the oven 3 to 5 minutes longer for a darker crust, but I dated a print out of your recipe, made notes and will definitely be making this one again!! Thank you!
That's fantastic and thank you for the feedback. I have loved this recipe and so glad I have been able to share with so many other people. Hope you get lots of yummy bread from this recipe.
Thank you, this was very well explained. I will try yours today. I did one yesterday with someone on TH-cam and she required 2 cups of starter, I thought I was to much but I wanted to experiment with a few people and found the bread a little to dense.
If you want to keep it warm in the microwave method, I recommend running your microwave for 3 or 4 minutes with a cup of water to a boil. Then when it turns off put the dough in the microwave with the water sitting over to the side. Works great. Been doing this for many years. Great tutorial. Thank you 😊 👏💛
This is the BEST video tutorial to make sourdough bread! I had failed miserably twice before and the first time I followed your recipe I made the BEST loaf Of sourdough bread! Third time was a charm bc of you and all of your Tips and tricks you taught me! Thank you thank you! My second loaf for the week is in the fridge right now! ❤❤❤❤
I watch this every time I make bread. I watch each step as it happens in my real time. I am attempting wholewheat with same measurements for all ingredients. I will let you know how it goes. Thankyou so much for your video
My whole wheat turned out great! However I used a bit more water in the recipe until it reached the shaggy dough look. I think next time I will add some honey at this point. Whole wheat bread was the bomb. It had a more intense sour flavor which everybody liked. It was really good with 100% raw orange blossom honey spread on it! I want to thank you for giving me the confidence to commit to baking and never buying bread!!!
In the winter when my house is a bit colder... I turn on my toaster oven until the top is warm (NOT HOT) but warm... and set my covered bowl and top of it. An hour or so later I came by and turn it on again for a minute or so to heat it back up. Works like a charm!
Thank you so much! Finally I feel I can try this and have success You have a gift of teaching Love your personality as you bake the sourdough bread! Thank you
Im going to try your recipe , I’ve made a few similar recipes . A tip that i do is put foil under the pan on a rack under dutch oven. Helps prevent a dark bottom. I also put ground corn kernels in the pan, underneath the parchment paper in the pan. It works.
@@CarolePenhaleKing I put a cookie sheet under my Dutch oven on the next rack down. I also hear of people bawling up aluminum foil and putting it in the bottom of the Dutch oven or using the instapot rack insert to keep the bread off the bottom as well. I've never had a problem with it getting too brown.
Thank you for this! You have been the best I have seen for my ADHD mind! Super simple explanation! I’m still doing my first set of stretch and folds but my dough already looks fabulous
My first loaf of sourdough bread is baking in the oven. Thanks to you! After six tries at starter, I finally got a successful batch. I am so excited for the outcome. ❤❤❤
thank you for this video. I keep my house on 69, so it's cooler. When I'm making bread and think the dough needs a little help rising, I'll take a pot of hot tap water and place in the oven with the dough. Sometimes I'll put it directly under the dough, sometimes just put the pot on the same rack as the dough. No wrong way really. But the heat and moisture helps the dough grow a little more quickly.
Yesssss❤❤❤❤ This part! People make much to do about nothing when it comes to sourdough starter. You’re doing great! This is exactly how I do mine! Thank you.
Thank you for this easy to follow tutorial! I’ve watched so many videos on how to make sourdough bread….that it becomes overwhelming. Can’t wait to try your method of making sourdough bread.
sure! Throw them in there! I do it all the time! You can either mix them in with the dough, do it during S&Fs, or when you shape it, totally up to you!
You are such a warm, down-to-earth lady and an excellent guide, your videos are a joy to watch. In a wilderness of 3-day, 101-step sourdough videos THIS is the one that hit home for me. Simple and straightforward, it shows that making sourdough needn't be a chore and can actually be fun. Thank you for your expert guidance, and for making sourdough a lot less scary.

@@KidneyBeanCake oh hi friend!! Thank you so much for your kind words!!! That really blesses my heart ❤️ if you have ANY questions, please feel free to reach out!
@@BootsandBountyHomestead oh my goodness, just baked my first sourdough loaf 😲 I watched this video 4 or 5 times first, and then followed the written instructions step by step, measurement by measurement, minute by minute. I have created a work of art! And it's all down to you and this amazing tutorial. I haven't cut into it yet, as the good lady says bake one day and cut the next..but it's killing me 🤣 Thank you so very much 🌹
Thank you for your video. Kindly give some tips for making a new starter and baking in a tropical climate. It's between 30-32⁰C, the heat is crazy here in the Caribbean.
You can still follow this recipe and process since it is a shorter process. Fermentation will happen faster in warmer climates, but not fast enough outside this process. That is, assuming that you are making this dough in the temps you described and not indoors in the air conditioner. If you need to, you can always just refrigerate the dough after the stretch and folds, then just shape it whenever you are ready to bake. You can skip leaving it out on the counter for any extended time after the stretch and folds and put it in the fridge to keep it cooler. You can use cooler water instead of lukewarm water too to slow the fermentation process a little if you don't have air conditioning. If you don't have refrigeration, you will have to learn when your dough is ready for baking. It will jiggle like jello, rise at least half-NOT DOUBLE, and it will have big bubbles rising to the surface, shape and bake at that point. Happy baking!!
@@BootsandBountyHomestead my bread turned out so good. I really appreciate you. I do have one question. Do I just wash my flower sackcloth that has been flowered just in with the regular laundry or do you save them and put them aside for the next time to use them? I know it's kind of a silly question.
@@carlakellie6674 they will get hard. I hand wash mine in the sink first if anything wet got on them, or shake them out really well, then laundry as normal. Mine are always wet and they get really stiff if I don't get them washed soon. I actually started just putting my boules in the fridge just in the mixing bowl, chill, then shape, score, and bake just because it was ruining all my towels, plus I didn't want to have to deal with all the bowls in the fridge because I do big bakes for shows. You can make it work for you any way you need it to.
It would have been nice if you explained what you were doing after you did the stretch and folds. As beginner I would like to know what I should be looking for or feeling in the dough. Just a friendly suggestion.
After the stretch and folds it just rested for 2 hrs. Is that what you mean, or the shaping part? With sourdough, it is a "learn to feel the dough" process. With this recipe and timing, you can follow step by step and there should be no problems, unless it's a starter issue. Please let me know what questions you have be ause I want to make it easy to learn, esp in the beginning
There's a lot more I could show and talk about but couldn't fit it all in. There's two ways you can do stretch and folds, like I show here, and for bigger batches, coil folds. You just pick it up in the middle and it folds under itself. Your choice. Also, you can shape it however you want. You can stretch it out flat (mine is only about 8"x12") fold it into thirds, roll it, then push and pull to tighten the skin. OR you can just pinch the edge towards the bottom and pull it up to the center all the way around. Totally your preference. Still gets the job done.
Thank you for an easy to follow & perfectly informative video. You explained many things that answered many of my questions. I wondered if the starter was eating the flour in the dough. I have tried other recipes but since I’m just learning I did make mistakes… I will follow your recipe in the morning(starter fed tonight) so wish me luck! Will let you know how it goes.❤
I have watched so many videos and yours is by far the best. I just took my loaf out of the oven using your recipe and video and it looks amazing. I had made 2 previous loaves before and they didn’t turn out so great and I felt completely lost. I’m so glad I found you. I almost gave up. Thank you!!!! Do you have a starter recipe video?
I do not have a video of making a starter from scratch. I need to do one 😂 but it's simple. Just mix equal parts flour water daily, taking our half on and after the 3rd day until it doubles in size for 3 days in a row. i don't care if you weigh or measure it, your kitchen your rules lol. I don't stick to all the "rules" when I"m cooking anything and it breaks my heart when people make it so hard on themselves trying to follow all the "rules" everyone has come up with. That is what keeps people from doing sourdough, when it's so easy if they will just keep it simple and figure out what works for them. Most people want that "magic pill" for doing it and sourdough has no "magic pill". No patience on trying to figure it out when there's too many chiefs... lol. I'm so glad you commented and let me know how you were doing! That's exciting and great! Keep going now that you have the tools to keep going!
Thanks for the help. So far so good. I took this loaf and cut it in half. I cooker the first one after 3 hrs in the fridge the next one the following morning. They were both good. A little dense. I was having trouble with hydration. I am now using 65% and getting better results. This bread thing is difficult.. I do have a strong starter..
@@lafflaff2676 it is. I tell all my students not leave bread for LAST! Don't jump in with both feet and bread be the first thing you do. It's something you have to learn! Good job! You'll get there!
Hello there! Thank you for your kind words, they mean so much to me! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Come back to se us soon. El Paso, TX....never been there! Maybe one day lol
Is this recipe written down anywhere? I could not find it. So far, this is the easiest sourdough recipe I have tried and the results are wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
I've started my sourdough journey about 2 weeks ago. I baked my first loaf yesterday, and it did not turn out. However, I appreciate all of your helpful tips, and I'm sure I'll have progressively better loaves here soon!! Thank you
I used this recipe and it was very wet. The loaf was flat. So I tried again and ended up adding a cup more of flour and it turned out perfect. I do weigh all my ingredients on every recipe. The added cup was what I ended up using to get the right consistency.😊
@@kellychatman6742 I wonder if your starter was either to acidic or too thin. Or your environment could have been too humid. I haven't had anyone have that problem yet so those would be my guess
It is very humid here right now. Eastern Tennessee. It came out really good and was probably the best loaf I've had, rise wise. Going to try again today but we are at 100% humidity right now. Lol Thanks for the response. Love watching your videos. You are so REAL! 😊 @BootsandBountyHomestead
@@kellychatman6742 I know, it's like breathing water in west Tn too! Lol I make 25-30 loaves a week for events, using the same recipe religiously and I've never had a failed loaf....unless there was a problem with my starter, which has happened because I got in too big of a hurry or something came up and my starter wasn't at its best.
Hi there lm messaging from Australia. Been watching your videos! They look so easy would love to try today. But l can't find the recipe just people's comments 😂😂 lm new to this sorry. Could you please give them to me ?
Artisan sourdough has always been a one day bread, it’s only when you want to fridge proof it for overnight does it take longer. I’ve always had the best crumb without having to measure & weigh, & do one coil fold & one stretch & fold, & then it goes to sit for 5 - 8 hours to bake. If you’re up at 6am & make your dough, you’re baking by 6pm for dinner loaf.
Right! The "internet" now days makes everyone think that sourdough bread takes up to 3 days to make and that's why everyone says they "can't do it" because they "don't have time". It ridiculous how strategic and complicated the "internet" has made such an aged skill to seem so hard. There's so many ways to do the same thing and get the same result that people think they have to do it "one way" and it always seems to be the hardest, longest, most complicated, then they think they can't do it or don't have time. You can do it a million ways to make it fit any schedule but the don't have the time or patience to learn the skill and understand the concept of how flexible it actually is. Thanks for watching!
I’ve been making sourdough for a while but am definitely going to try this! Also, you might know this already but if you out a wet paper towel under your cutting board board it won’t move around. Saves me a lot of annoyance 😂😊
I’m an experienced sourdough baker, yet am always curious about how others do their sourdough. I just watched this video from start to finish (even though I have dough rising as we speak ready for the next step). You do a fabulous job of explaining, yet not over-explaining, and your choice of music in the background is perfect. Loaves look fabulous. Just one question: why all purpose flour instead of bread flour?

I live in Arizona where it's hot year round I keep my ac on 70°. So I turn my oven light on and put it on warm for 10 mins. Then turn it off bout 20 mins before my dough rests, and then I rest it in the oven. And I get the best rise. Other wise I'd be sweating with a flat round lol.
Oh that's great! Thanks for sharing! Someone else may have the same problem. And AZ is also a little drier than TN. lol
A little tip for others reading your method, if your oven has knobs remove the knob so that the oven can't be turned on. Accidents happen.
Ooo thanks for sharing that!
@@radenawinsbury1562that is brilliant!
I'm in beginning stages of my sourdough journey and I've tried so many peoples recipes then get them mixed up and forget which recipe was what. Some of them turned out great, others not so great. Today I made your 1 loaf recipe and it turned out great!!I could only let it cool for 45 minutes before I had to cut an end piece. So, so good!
I could've maybe left it in the oven 3 to 5 minutes longer for a darker crust, but I dated a print out of your recipe, made notes and will definitely be making this one again!!
Thank you!
That's fantastic and thank you for the feedback. I have loved this recipe and so glad I have been able to share with so many other people. Hope you get lots of yummy bread from this recipe.
Thank you, this was very well explained. I will try yours today. I did one yesterday with someone on TH-cam and she required 2 cups of starter, I thought I was to much but I wanted to experiment with a few people and found the bread a little to dense.
Many have used my recipe and had great results. How old is your starter?
I really appreciate your explanations throughout this video and you are a great teacher!! I will try this recipe asap and thanks again.
I am so glad you like it! You’re going to love this bread! Let me know how it turns out.
@BootsandBountyHomestead will do!
Thanks!
oh my goodness, how gracious!! You are the best, thank you sooo much! If you need any help with the process, please reach out!
If you want to keep it warm in the microwave method, I recommend running your microwave for 3 or 4 minutes with a cup of water to a boil. Then when it turns off put the dough in the microwave with the water sitting over to the side. Works great. Been doing this for many years. Great tutorial. Thank you 😊 👏💛
Thanks for sharing your technique, I'll have to give that a try.
Fantastic result. I learned quite a bit with your clear instructions. Thank you so much.
that's great to hear! thank you for letting me know!
This made the difference for my bread turning out with a crumb!! Thank YOU dearly!
Oh that's fabulous to hear! Thanks for letting me know! 😊
This is the BEST video tutorial to make sourdough bread! I had failed miserably twice before and the first time I followed your recipe I made the BEST loaf
Of sourdough bread! Third time was a charm bc of you and all of your
Tips and tricks you taught me! Thank you thank you! My second loaf for the week is in the fridge right now! ❤❤❤❤
@@maryloubland6610 oh that's fabulous! Thank you so much for the kind feedback! I've got pumpkin bread coming this week! ☺️
I watch this every time I make bread. I watch each step as it happens in my real time. I am attempting wholewheat with same measurements for all ingredients. I will let you know how it goes. Thankyou so much for your video
That is so cool! Thank you for letting me know! I've never used whole wheat so I hope it turns out great for you! Yes please, let me know! ☺️
My whole wheat turned out great! However I used a bit more water in the recipe until it reached the shaggy dough look. I think next time I will add some honey at this point. Whole wheat bread was the bomb. It had a more intense sour flavor which everybody liked. It was really good with 100% raw orange blossom honey spread on it! I want to thank you for giving me the confidence to commit to baking and never buying bread!!!
I do have a question. What do you use to bake individual sr dough bowls for soup?
@@karenbarnes7021 you still use the Dutch oven. It will still hold its form and bake up small.
Excellent tutorial. Thank you 🙌👏💛
I hope it helps others to create amazing bread! Thank you 😍
Wow! What a great video and instructions. Im feeding my starter tonight...baking tomorrow. Thank you so much.
Thank you very much! Let me know if you need any further help!
In the winter when my house is a bit colder... I turn on my toaster oven until the top is warm (NOT HOT) but warm... and set my covered bowl and top of it. An hour or so later I came by and turn it on again for a minute or so to heat it back up. Works like a charm!
Awesome idea and so glad you found a way that works best for you. Thank you for sharing it with me and others here. 💕
Love this… very helpful! Definitely instills confidence. You seem like the kind of lady anyone would love to have as a friend and neighbor ❤️
C'mon over!! I love the kind feedback, thank you so much!
Thank you so much!
Finally I feel I can try this and have success
You have a gift of teaching
Love your personality as you bake the sourdough bread!
Thank you
@@gisellerussell awww, thank you for your kind words! Reach out if you need any help!
Im going to try your recipe , I’ve made a few similar recipes .
A tip that i do is put foil under the pan on a rack under dutch oven. Helps prevent a dark bottom. I also put ground corn kernels in the pan, underneath the parchment paper in the pan. It works.
@@CarolePenhaleKing I put a cookie sheet under my Dutch oven on the next rack down. I also hear of people bawling up aluminum foil and putting it in the bottom of the Dutch oven or using the instapot rack insert to keep the bread off the bottom as well. I've never had a problem with it getting too brown.
Yours looked darker then i like. Thanks for the recipe im baking soon.
@@CarolePenhaleKing it's an art! Be the painter of your own masterpiece 😊
Thank you for this! You have been the best I have seen for my ADHD mind! Super simple explanation! I’m still doing my first set of stretch and folds but my dough already looks fabulous

My first loaf of sourdough bread is baking in the oven. Thanks to you!
After six tries at starter, I finally got a successful batch. I am so excited for the outcome. ❤❤❤
I’m so happy you had success with your starter and good luck with the bread!
I made your bread it's beautiful thank you!
@@evaarnim that's awesome! Thank you for letting me know!
thank you for this video. I keep my house on 69, so it's cooler. When I'm making bread and think the dough needs a little help rising, I'll take a pot of hot tap water and place in the oven with the dough. Sometimes I'll put it directly under the dough, sometimes just put the pot on the same rack as the dough. No wrong way really. But the heat and moisture helps the dough grow a little more quickly.
I’m going to try that! I love finding new ways to help the dough rise.
I just learned a lot… thank you !
@@gromzak645 you are VERY welcome!
You are a great instructor...a natural...explain everything just perfectly. Well done! I bought your starter...ha, ha!

Thank you and thank you for watching!
This is an excellent video. I love your explanation of the starter. I wonder do you have suggestions on adding herbs etc
sure! Throw them in there! I do it all the time! You can either mix them in with the dough, do it during S&Fs, or when you shape it, totally up to you!
You are such a warm, down-to-earth lady and an excellent guide, your videos are a joy to watch. In a wilderness of 3-day, 101-step sourdough videos THIS is the one that hit home for me. Simple and straightforward, it shows that making sourdough needn't be a chore and can actually be fun. Thank you for your expert guidance, and for making sourdough a lot less scary.

Thank you for your video. Kindly give some tips for making a new starter and baking in a tropical climate. It's between 30-32⁰C, the heat is crazy here in the Caribbean.
You can still follow this recipe and process since it is a shorter process. Fermentation will happen faster in warmer climates, but not fast enough outside this process. That is, assuming that you are making this dough in the temps you described and not indoors in the air conditioner. If you need to, you can always just refrigerate the dough after the stretch and folds, then just shape it whenever you are ready to bake. You can skip leaving it out on the counter for any extended time after the stretch and folds and put it in the fridge to keep it cooler. You can use cooler water instead of lukewarm water too to slow the fermentation process a little if you don't have air conditioning. If you don't have refrigeration, you will have to learn when your dough is ready for baking. It will jiggle like jello, rise at least half-NOT DOUBLE, and it will have big bubbles rising to the surface, shape and bake at that point. Happy baking!!
This is one of the best tutorials I've seen. Thank you so much for sharing. ❤
Thank you! And thank you for stopping by!

You're so welcome!
@@BootsandBountyHomestead my bread turned out so good. I really appreciate you. I do have one question. Do I just wash my flower sackcloth that has been flowered just in with the regular laundry or do you save them and put them aside for the next time to use them? I know it's kind of a silly question.
@@carlakellie6674 they will get hard. I hand wash mine in the sink first if anything wet got on them, or shake them out really well, then laundry as normal. Mine are always wet and they get really stiff if I don't get them washed soon. I actually started just putting my boules in the fridge just in the mixing bowl, chill, then shape, score, and bake just because it was ruining all my towels, plus I didn't want to have to deal with all the bowls in the fridge because I do big bakes for shows. You can make it work for you any way you need it to.
@@BootsandBountyHomestead that's a great idea. Next time I will just keep it in the mixing bowl. Thank you so much once again.
@@carlakellie6674 yw
Thank you so much for shareing,Very good instructions.
Thank you ma'am! Enjoy
It would have been nice if you explained what you were doing after you did the stretch and folds. As beginner I would like to know what I should be looking for or feeling in the dough. Just a friendly suggestion.
After the stretch and folds it just rested for 2 hrs. Is that what you mean, or the shaping part?
With sourdough, it is a "learn to feel the dough" process. With this recipe and timing, you can follow step by step and there should be no problems, unless it's a starter issue.
Please let me know what questions you have be ause I want to make it easy to learn, esp in the beginning
There's a lot more I could show and talk about but couldn't fit it all in. There's two ways you can do stretch and folds, like I show here, and for bigger batches, coil folds. You just pick it up in the middle and it folds under itself. Your choice.
Also, you can shape it however you want. You can stretch it out flat (mine is only about 8"x12") fold it into thirds, roll it, then push and pull to tighten the skin. OR you can just pinch the edge towards the bottom and pull it up to the center all the way around. Totally your preference. Still gets the job done.
Thank you for an easy to follow & perfectly informative video. You explained many things that answered many of my questions. I wondered if the starter was eating the flour in the dough.
I have tried other recipes but since I’m just learning I did make mistakes…
I will follow your recipe in the morning(starter fed tonight) so wish me luck! Will let you know how it goes.❤
I'll be baking all day today with you! You've got this! Reach out if you have any questions.
Excellent video, well done! 🍞😋👍❤️
Thank you very much!
I have watched so many videos and yours is by far the best. I just took my loaf out of the oven using your recipe and video and it looks amazing. I had made 2 previous loaves before and they didn’t turn out so great and I felt completely lost. I’m so glad I found you. I almost gave up. Thank you!!!! Do you have a starter recipe video?
I do not have a video of making a starter from scratch. I need to do one 😂 but it's simple. Just mix equal parts flour water daily, taking our half on and after the 3rd day until it doubles in size for 3 days in a row. i don't care if you weigh or measure it, your kitchen your rules lol. I don't stick to all the "rules" when I"m cooking anything and it breaks my heart when people make it so hard on themselves trying to follow all the "rules" everyone has come up with. That is what keeps people from doing sourdough, when it's so easy if they will just keep it simple and figure out what works for them. Most people want that "magic pill" for doing it and sourdough has no "magic pill". No patience on trying to figure it out when there's too many chiefs... lol. I'm so glad you commented and let me know how you were doing! That's exciting and great! Keep going now that you have the tools to keep going!
Like yr music. Love yr technique too.
Thank you very much!
Great Video! Thank you. By the way, I Love the music too!!
@@lindapaquette-pelc2849 thank you very much!
Thanks for the help. So far so good. I took this loaf and cut it in half. I cooker the first one after 3 hrs in the fridge the next one the following morning. They were both good. A little dense. I was having trouble with hydration. I am now using 65% and getting better results. This bread thing is difficult.. I do have a strong starter..
@@lafflaff2676 it is. I tell all my students not leave bread for LAST! Don't jump in with both feet and bread be the first thing you do. It's something you have to learn!
Good job! You'll get there!
Also Hun if you use a damp wash rag or paper towels and put it under your cutting board it'll keep from moving. I can wait to try your recipe.
Thanks! And I can't wait either! 🤩
Thanks for all your tips you have made it very simple for me to start to make my starter I am not so scared of it now

Is this recipe written down anywhere? I could not find it. So far, this is the easiest sourdough recipe I have tried and the results are wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
In the description under the video. This recipe has been a lifesaver and so glad I can share it with others.
I've started my sourdough journey about 2 weeks ago. I baked my first loaf yesterday, and it did not turn out. However, I appreciate all of your helpful tips, and I'm sure I'll have progressively better loaves here soon!! Thank you
It does take some practice to be able to get all the factors right, especially if you have a new starter
love your music!
Thanks! 😁
Thank you! I will try this. So good instructions.
Yay! Exciting! I just pulled one out of the oven myself!
I used this recipe and it was very wet. The loaf was flat. So I tried again and ended up adding a cup more of flour and it turned out perfect. I do weigh all my ingredients on every recipe. The added cup was what I ended up using to get the right consistency.😊
@@kellychatman6742 I wonder if your starter was either to acidic or too thin. Or your environment could have been too humid. I haven't had anyone have that problem yet so those would be my guess
It is very humid here right now. Eastern Tennessee. It came out really good and was probably the best loaf I've had, rise wise. Going to try again today but we are at 100% humidity right now. Lol
Thanks for the response. Love watching your videos. You are so REAL! 😊
@BootsandBountyHomestead
@@kellychatman6742 I know, it's like breathing water in west Tn too! Lol
I make 25-30 loaves a week for events, using the same recipe religiously and I've never had a failed loaf....unless there was a problem with my starter, which has happened because I got in too big of a hurry or something came up and my starter wasn't at its best.
Well, I made the double batch because I won't be home for 10 days and want to take it with me.😊 I trusted the process and got my first real ear! Lol

Hi there lm messaging from Australia. Been watching your videos! They look so easy would love to try today.
But l can't find the recipe just people's comments 😂😂 lm new to this sorry. Could you please give them to me ?
Artisan sourdough has always been a one day bread, it’s only when you want to fridge proof it for overnight does it take longer. I’ve always had the best crumb without having to measure & weigh, & do one coil fold & one stretch & fold, & then it goes to sit for 5 - 8 hours to bake. If you’re up at 6am & make your dough, you’re baking by 6pm for dinner loaf.
Right! The "internet" now days makes everyone think that sourdough bread takes up to 3 days to make and that's why everyone says they "can't do it" because they "don't have time". It ridiculous how strategic and complicated the "internet" has made such an aged skill to seem so hard. There's so many ways to do the same thing and get the same result that people think they have to do it "one way" and it always seems to be the hardest, longest, most complicated, then they think they can't do it or don't have time. You can do it a million ways to make it fit any schedule but the don't have the time or patience to learn the skill and understand the concept of how flexible it actually is.
Thanks for watching!
Like your background music ♥️
Thank you. I try to liven it up a bit and not use the same tracks over and over. Thankfully there is ton of music to pick from on TH-cam.
thank you🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for watching!
I’ve been making sourdough for a while but am definitely going to try this! Also, you might know this already but if you out a wet paper towel under your cutting board board it won’t move around. Saves me a lot of annoyance 😂😊
@@TiffKeiller yes. I actually quit using it and just use my countertop.
@ that works too! I have a silicone mat I use for bread but also just use my countertops sometimes 😊
@TiffKeiller it's just as easy for me to clean them up as it is to wash something else 😂
@ 👍🏻
I’m an experienced sourdough baker, yet am always curious about how others do their sourdough. I just watched this video from start to finish (even though I have dough rising as we speak ready for the next step). You do a fabulous job of explaining, yet not over-explaining, and your choice of music in the background is perfect. Loaves look fabulous. Just one question: why all purpose flour instead of bread flour?
@@bonniedrewes704 that's just what I've always used. Never bought bread flour lol
