Almost every sourdough bread recipe I’ve seen calls for seemingly endless rounds of stretch/folds, and I just don’t want to stop every half hour to do it. Thanks so much for sharing a recipe that doesn’t require a busy person to keep stopping to baby a dough.
Not that I am contesting the recipe but stretch and fold would make your gluten network stronger and make your bread more fluffier. For example thia loaf takes 500 gms of flour in total ( apart from the flour in starter). Looking at the crumb you can see it's soft but denser. With enough of gluten development this would turn into more airy
@syamantakpati9009 gluten development is important for the breads baked without a baking tin, since they need to have strong gluten network to keep the form. It makes the breads also a bit denser. For the breads baked in a baking tin/dish it is not important. The crumb will be soft and they will not be flat because of the hold they become due to the baking dish.
Thank you giving such detailed instructions including why we let it rest for 30 minutes, and making such a perfect length video! Much appreciated! I can't wait for my starter to to get going so I can try this bread!
I just successfully made a whole wheat version of this loaf and I am so happy. First of all I have to say that I do not normally make substitutions on someone’s recipe that grabs my interest- I like to make it the first time exactly. In this case I was very impatient to make a soft sandwich loaf with my mature starter- I was tired of the weekly crusty boules and batards. I am sharing the substitutions to confirm that you can deviate and still have an incredible, soft, sourdough sandwich loaf with this recipe. I used 1/2 whole wheat and 1/2 AP flour, organic vanilla Greek yogurt in place of the buttermilk and the sugar, and olive oil for the avocado oil. The method and the timings were left exactly as stated in the recipe. I did not have enough AP flour so the whole wheat was subbed. I don’t normally have buttermilk on hand and toyed with the idea of souring milk with lemon juice when I remembered the big tub of vanilla yogurt lol. Anyway, thank you so much for this new forever recipe, I will cherish it. ❤️
Yes a half swap with whole wheat is great to do without many issues in the bread. It sounds like you did a great job making good swaps and I'm so glad you enjoyed it. --Rachel
I;ve made this bread several times, and now its the only bread my husband will eat, amazing recipe, amazing bread. and its so easy, I don't think you can mess it up
I just want to remember to thank you. Have made this several times now for family, including extended family. We never have enough to last very long and the flavor is great even for the littles! And thank you for referencing the original cookbook. Making me a Gramma level baker after not loving baking and being. Dry intimidated by the idea of sourdough and putting off even trying for years! Thank you, thank you!
First I want to say you are an excellent teacher. Concise more than precise which takes the element of “oh dear I can really screw this up” out of your instructions. You actually seem like you enjoy making the bread. So many other how to instructions have “watch out for!”, “You want to be careful here”, “it will take awhile to get this right..” I loved you saying “oh there’s a bubble, I don’t worry about them much.” I did EVERYTHING you said even the parchment paper was cut like yours. Your explanation of pulling the dough toward you to “tighten the skin” clicked for me and now I feel like I understand better how to attempt this step. When I went to put my loaf in the pan, the sides of the loaf pulled the parchment paper underneath the loaf. 😮 I really did scream. You would’ve thought I dropped a newborn. I’m waiting now for my second rise. Love your video ❤️
Oh great job and thank you so much. I do love making bread that's very true!! And if that parchment falls underneath just tip out your dough, straighten it and put the dough back in. :)
Thank you for this fantastic, simplified recipe. I used to stress about the 1000 slap & folds and treating the dough as if it were a newborn baby to get the 1mt wide holes. Not anymore. I've been making this sandwich bread lately. My family loves it, tastes great. That's all that matters. I'm happy making sourdough bread now. :D
Decided to try your recipe, not expecting it to be much different than the sourdough sandwich bread I've been making for decades, which can be a little dry and heavy. It. Is. Fabulous. Turned out light and moist with a nice sourdough tang. Thank you for the recipe. Subscribed!
4 years ago I wanted to learn how to make bread, I search youtube and it sent me to your beginner friendly yeast one, it was my start of bread journey. I also started my sourdough back then, and now I bake almost all kinda breads. I still keep watching your videos just to remind myself how simple and fun this process should be. Thanks!
Yeah this is Ron from Pueblo Colorado I just discovered you that bread looks so delicious I'll take a couple of loaves to go my birthday is April 7th 1962 and anyway yes FedEx it to me overnight I'll take a couple of loaves and then I'll slice and taste it and sample it for you you look delicious you look like a great cook😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You....are a great teacher, easy to listen to and easy to follow. I have made the long version of the artisan sourdough and love, but wanted to learn how to do a softer textured bread for sandwiches. Thanks! I'm choosing YOUR recipe! :)
Excellent video with clear instructions and demonstrations. I followed along every step and am waiting for the 2nd rise. Fingers crossed it turns out as beautiful as yours, so far so good! Thank you 😊
Okay, I’ve been trying to make sourdough for weeks now, to no avail. However, this recipe worked! My loaf turned out beautifully and tastes SO good. Thanks so much for sharing your gifts! Fun, fun🌹🌹🌹🌹
This is the easiest and best sour dough sandwich bread ever. I've tried loads that included preferments and way too much work. This is easy and foolproof. The best is I love a recipe with weighed measurements -- So accurate! Thank you!
Made this a couple days ago & it is my favorite sandwhich loaf I have made so far!! I really like that I don't have to have a mixer for this recipe! Thank you so much 😊
I really loved this bread, it was my last ditch attempt at sour dough bread and it worked! 😂 I’m having trouble finding any more or your sour dough recipes!
Great job! I don't have any more sourdough here on the channel except for a couple of videos about making large starters and how to make a starter from scratch. Maybe one day I'll make more!
Sis you rock!!!! Second attempt was a success 🎉. First time I tried to get cute with the substitution for real buttermilk but I just tried again 🥰👊🏽👏🏾. God bless you and yours. Thanks for sharing this recipie
I used this bread recipient and I loved it! I substituted butter milk for whole milk and lemon! Still came out wonderful. I am never going back to store bread this bread is thick yet fluffy and has a wonderful taste! Mm mm mm 👍🏼🥳
Thank you so much! This has been my first beautiful and delicious sourdough loaf! I worried and fretted over the starter, the risings, but I saw the stringy texture after the first rise and I flew up on the wings of expectation! It has been cool here and it just took longer to rise, it's hard to be patient. I don't have a scale so I used measurements for the win. Thanks again
I have just pulled two loaves from the oven, they look beautiful for my first go. This has been my second attempt at making sourdough sandwich bread (the first was a success, Pain De Mie) and this is by far the easiest technique. I always mess up with stretch and folds, when to do and how many then when to bake the loaf etc... This was easy to follow, thank you.
Omygoodness! I have finally made a good loaf of bread with Gustos, my new starter. I didn't think he was working. I left mine on the counter at 1pm yesterday and it was pretty squat when I went to bed at midnight. Overslept and didn't get it in the loaf pan until 10 am. Gustos was popping with lots of bubbles and definitely more than double. I used my oven's bread proofing setting and it doubled again by 4pm. Baked up 20 minutes then applied the foil and this loaf is gorgeous. But the taste! Omygoodness, so nicely sour! I can't wait to try more recipes because I have learned how patient I must be working with Gustos 😂❤❤❤
Oh Gustos...he may be moody from time to time, he may smell funny, he may need adjustments as he grows but I know he'll make it. ;) I'm so glad you like the bread. It's almost no fail and it's always delicious!
I'm a newbie sourdough baker and this video came across my feed this morning. What a fantastic, low maintenance recipe! And great visuals and explanations as well. This really gives me some added confidence in the kitchen. And after visiting your channel page and learning a bit more about your story, I just had to subscribe!
I see you've already promised to put together a video for creating a starter. Thank you, I need one too. A friend from church shared her sourdough starter (and recipe) and it died on me. I can make bread from scratch, but sourdough has been a fail for me -- and I love sourdough bread. 😃
I had the same problem, then I gave it a feed of homemade milk kefir and flour and it just took off! Only one kefir feeding is all it needed, then back to water and flour. 😃
@suzyb.6234 i was struggling to get my starter to work, then I soaked some raisins in water overnight and used that water to feed my starter. My starter is going gang busters now. Its been about a yr and half. I feed it about every 2 to 3 months or when i make a loaf. It will get that greysish liquid on it. It may take a second feed to really bounce back after after months. But it always does. This last time it burst out of my jar and ran everywhere.
If I can possibly avoid long videos, I do. Sometimes the content requires length but even then we can put in timestamps so you can skip around. Enjoy your bread!
I made this recipe yesterday...but as a "same day loaf" 😊 made the dough in the morning and bake it in the evening. Came out so good though... ❤ Thank you for that great recipe. Greetings from Germany
Would also like to know how you make your starter. Everyone seems to have a different ratio than my starter and I wonder if that is why I am not very successful at making just a simple sandwich loaf. Thanks so much! Being from the deep south, I just LOVE your accent!
Excellent video! You did a great job explaining your steps. I’ve been making bread for about 40 years and my Family members want to try sourdough, and this will be a great video to share with them. Thank you!
Stand mixers are so not needed! Hands are the best way to learn how your bread should feel. And the cabinets are Sherwin Williams Pewter Green. They are oak and I had them painted a few years ago and still love them!
Really like the simplicity of this recipe. It might be helpful to add the resting, shaping, and baking directions to the written description of the video.
Very nice recipe. However, I used 100 grs of starter and could bake it same day. The taste buttermilk gives the bread is fantastic. I also use a heat pad to rush the process. The final product is good, soft and nice. Thank you for this recipe. It's a keeper for me.🤩
Oh I can’t wait to make this recipe! I have a sourdough starter that I started in October 2022. I can’t have any grains right now due to the GAPS diet but my husband sure loves the flatbreads I make him. I have made hotcakes 🥞 too! 😭 I can’t wait to have bread again! This time in its properly prepared form! Thank you Rachel! ❤
Just made a double recipe of this bread. A beautiful perfect loaf. I used some vanilla yogury that was soon to go bad. Can't taste it in the bread. So you can play with this recipe too!
I've tried three different recipes for sourdough starters and each was a failure. I'm not sure why. I have one in the fridge I haven't tried yet and it seems fine, so that one is anyone's guess. A vid on your starter would be helpful. The bread looks delicious.
Starters are never cut and dry. They need adjustments based on their behavior and you have to know how to recognize and adjust for those. A lot of people tend to think their starter is bad when it's just adjusting and throw it out too fast. I'll make you a video!
I never let mine go 12 hours today I had sandwich loaves today start at about 8:40 and shaped into loaf pan by 3pm… am I under doing it? lol it rose quite a bit over doubled and definitely had those streaks
You know, I think it depends on your recipe and what your goals are. I want as much gluten breakdown as possible so those longer ferments are better for that. Yours may be just fine at those shorter rise times but I can’t help but feel that the whole reason to make sourdough is to ferment the wheat and that’s better with a longer rise time. Totally up to you though!
My bread is cooling right now. Its a thing of beauty. Thank you for the great instructions. I've tried several recipes for sour dough bread. This one is the best. It is crusty on top. Should I put some butter on the top to soften it for slicing?
I used this sourdough sandwich bread recipe and made 10 loaves of bread so far. And all came out WONDERFUL. My family loves it so much and i do too. I tried different recipes and i am end up using your for life now. Thank you so much from bottom of my heart 💜 Claire. Greetings from Virginia.
Please describe exactly how to freeze the slices! Do you separate each slice and what is the best storage method for getting a few slices out every day? I just paid over $4 for a loaf of sugar free bread two days ago and it's already moldy. It had a nice soft texture but not good flavor. Don't want to waste any more $$ on store bought bread!! I've just recently learned how to make a starter and have made two wonderful breads with it but I'd like something more along the lines of a sandwich bread so I'm going to make yours!!
I use a Lock and Lock bread box. I slice and then put the slices back in a loaf shape. To use, the bread thaws in about 15 minutes depending on thickness. I take out a slice or two as needed or make sandwiches on frozen bread and let it thaw in lunchboxes.
I slice before freezing, yes. Then I put all the slices into a lock & lock bread box and freeze the whole thing. I take out slices as I need them and they thaw in about 15 minutes. Bread stays good for six weeks easily.
If this is a second comment from me, I apologize. I'm not super tech savvy LOL. Also not super Savvy at making sourdough bread so I'm excited for this recipe. I purchased cast iron bread pans and I wanted to see if that would make it necessary to make any adjustments to this recipe? I greatly appreciate your advice and I am going to purchase the book you recommend on amazon. Thanks a million
I’ve never had cast bread pans though I cook with a lot of cast iron. You’re going to have to season those things to death. I’d probably still line mine in parchment because they are to stick until that seasoning is superb. Never wash them and use them exclusively for bead. The way they heat may be a little different. Cast takes longer to heat but retains it better and the dark color could make your bread darker faster. You could consider baking yours at a slightly lower temperature but otherwise you are just going to have a test a lot to figure out how they work for you.
I am kind of new to sourdough. Been doing it for about 6 months now. Have tried a lot of different recipes in that time. Maybe it's something I'm not able to see being somewhat new but I cannot tell much difference if any between doing it this way or all those stretch and folds or a lot of kneading.
No there's not a ton of difference. That's why I don't do them! I do NOT have time for all that babysitting and fiddling. :) Make your life easy and your bread tasty!
Thank you for this clear and concise video! Question....I had to leave mine to sit after mixing for closer to 19 hours. When shaping the dough, it didn't have quite the structure as yours. Could the extended time have caused this? My house is also warmer than usual at around 76 degrees. Obviously, I'm quite new at this so any input would be greatly appreciated!
Yes absolutely. Over fermentation does a couple of things: first the starter turns slightly acidic and suppresses yeast production and the long rest also digests too much gluten. If you let it go too long it will turn to soup. Next time refrigerate it after the first 8 hours.
@@FeastandFarmCooks Thank you so very much! I am just now nearing the end of my second rise....six hours total at this point....and it has not yet doubled in size. I'm guessing after your comment, it probably won't! I'll still go ahead and bake it and feed it to the birds! LOL
I have. If you want swirls, roll the dough out and layer in cinnamon and raisins then roll up and rise the second time. If you want it throughout the dough, knead them in and then plan for a slightly longer rise time to account for the weight of the raisins.

Almost every sourdough bread recipe I’ve seen calls for seemingly endless rounds of stretch/folds, and I just don’t want to stop every half hour to do it. Thanks so much for sharing a recipe that doesn’t require a busy person to keep stopping to baby a dough.
Absolutely! I hate that whole process of stretching and folding and don't have time for it either!
Amen, same here!!

Hello, can we make this recipe with rye bread? Or oat bread! Please share your thoughts

Very helpful for sharing that because I will be using a kefir whey, yogurt, goat milk combo sub in Im outta buttermilk
I used raw milk 3/4 and 1/4 kefer
So you didn't add any sugar. You used the vanilla yogurt as containing enough sugar?
@@suzy4889sorry just saw this! Yes, I didn’t add extra sugar since the yogurt was sweetened.
I;ve made this bread several times, and now its the only bread my husband will eat, amazing recipe, amazing bread. and its so easy, I don't think you can mess it up
I agree! Thank you for letting me know!
My husband said this was the best bread ever, no more buying sandwich bread from the store! thank you so much for making it so easy!
That's wonderful! It's our favorite too. :)
Omg I'm so happy that you're doing measurements in grams! It's so much easier to use weight when baking 😊
It absolutely is!
That's funny, I hate it😂
HATE IT TOO ESPECIALLY AS A BEGINNER :) I CAN'T FIND THE CUP RECIPE :(
I live on a boat. Scales do not read properly.
Just wanted to let you know that I have used this recipe for cinnamon rolls and hamburger and hot dogs buns. And the bread. I love it .
Thank you for letting me know Diana!
I made this yesterday and it turned out perfectly! I just used all purpose unbleached flour. I actually love the lighting. It looks more natural.
I just want to remember to thank you. Have made this several times now for family, including extended family. We never have enough to last very long and the flavor is great even for the littles! And thank you for referencing the original cookbook. Making me a Gramma level baker after not loving baking and being. Dry intimidated by the idea of sourdough and putting off even trying for years!

You are very welcome! Glad you are enjoying the bread with your family!
thank you! Don't believe in wishes, but if I did, I would say, "Wish me luck!!" I'm about to start my first loaf with this "home grown" starter.

Even better with actual buttermilk if you can get it!
@@FeastandFarmCooks where could I buy some? I looked for it at my grocery stores but had no luck
Where do you live? Diluted plain yogurt or diluted sour cream with some water would also work and provide a similar flavor.

Would also like to know how you make your starter. Everyone seems to have a different ratio than my starter and I wonder if that is why I am not very successful at making just a simple sandwich loaf. Thanks so much! Being from the deep south, I just LOVE your accent!
The video is here on the channel so check it out!
I used ratios in the beginning. Now I go by look and thickness. It often triples in size.
I’m so excited, I have three loaves rising now. ❤️. Thank you for amazing instructions.
I hope you love them!
This is my new everyday loaf recipe. Just perfect thank you so much for sharing!
Oh wonderful! It's the best. 😍
I would love to learn all the things about sourdough
Thanks for this recipe, this is going to be my go to now, because it turned out so well, and so simple! ❤❤❤😊
You are so welcome!
Excellent video! You did a great job explaining your steps. I’ve been making bread for about 40 years and my Family members want to try sourdough, and this will be a great video to share with them. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I love this recipe, I have made it over an over an over , never fails, always delish! Thankyou so much!
It's our favorite too!
Would love the starter recipe, thank you
Yes it's the first pinned comment.
Thank you for this! Most of the videos I’ve seen use a stand mixer, which I don’t have. Also, would love to know the color on your cabinets. 😊
Stand mixers are so not needed! Hands are the best way to learn how your bread should feel. And the cabinets are Sherwin Williams Pewter Green. They are oak and I had them painted a few years ago and still love them!
Have you ever used a buttermilk substitute? Milk and vinegar? I almost never have buttermilk on hand
No because I absolutely hate all the subs. Not even close on texture or flavor. 😬 Diluted sour cream or plain full fat yogurt would also work.
@@FeastandFarmCooks Perfect thank you! I always have one or the other
Really like the simplicity of this recipe. It might be helpful to add the resting, shaping, and baking directions to the written description of the video.
Noted!
I just picked up that book. I’m so excited to try it out!
It's a great one!
Thank you for sharing. A beautiful loaf and adding this recipe to my list 😊
Very nice recipe. However, I used 100 grs of starter and could bake it same day. The taste buttermilk gives the bread is fantastic. I also use a heat pad to rush the process. The final product is good, soft and nice. Thank you for this recipe. It's a keeper for me.🤩
I'm glad it worked with your adjustments and that you enjoyed it! I like the slower ferment to ensure the gluten is broken down as much as possible.
Can I add some flax seeds to dough?
@@FeastandFarmCooks
Sure that should be fine.
This is really good and yummy looking loaf of sour dough bread. Gotta try it. I believe the hostess is Nanci Griffith's twin.
Haha I’ve heard that before!
I'm making this right now. I hope the crust comes out softer than what I have made up to now. I Also ordered the book you mentioned, it looks good!
Oh I can’t wait to make this recipe! I have a sourdough starter that I started in October 2022. I can’t have any grains right now due to the GAPS diet but my husband sure loves the flatbreads I make him. I have made hotcakes 🥞 too! 😭
I can’t wait to have bread again! This time in its properly prepared form!
Thank you Rachel! ❤
I make it for my family too even though I don't eat it. Someday--years from now probably--I'll be able to.
@@FeastandFarmCooks Ahhh ok I see. Yes I hope for the same!
@@FeastandFarmCooks
What about spelt or einkorn flour?
One of the recipes I’ve made from this site and it turned out perfect! My family loves it too!
That's great to hear!
I can’t find buttermilk at the grocery store in Mexico, but I’ll try substituting with yogurt. Thank you!
Dilute it with some water so it's not so thick.
Just made a double recipe of this bread. A beautiful perfect loaf. I used some vanilla yogury that was soon to go bad. Can't taste it in the bread. So you can play with this recipe too!
Yes yogurt has a similar performance to buttermilk so it would work but you were very brave with the vanilla!
I've tried three different recipes for sourdough starters and each was a failure. I'm not sure why. I have one in the fridge I haven't tried yet and it seems fine, so that one is anyone's guess. A vid on your starter would be helpful. The bread looks delicious.
Starters are never cut and dry. They need adjustments based on their behavior and you have to know how to recognize and adjust for those. A lot of people tend to think their starter is bad when it's just adjusting and throw it out too fast. I'll make you a video!
@@FeastandFarmCooks yes please! I need a good sourdough starter too!
@@FeastandFarmCooks I would love to know how to make a starter. Sourdough scares me. I feel like I would mess it up!
Great Video! I only wish I had found your page when I started my sourdough bread journey!! SOOO much simpler!!
Oh yes so much simpler! I'm not standing around doing all that folding ;) This works great!
Just made this today and it came out perfect!!! Thank you for the recipe!
You are so welcome!
I never let mine go 12 hours today I had sandwich loaves today start at about 8:40 and shaped into loaf pan by 3pm… am I under doing it? lol it rose quite a bit over doubled and definitely had those streaks
You know, I think it depends on your recipe and what your goals are. I want as much gluten breakdown as possible so those longer ferments are better for that. Yours may be just fine at those shorter rise times but I can’t help but feel that the whole reason to make sourdough is to ferment the wheat and that’s better with a longer rise time. Totally up to you though!
My bread is cooling right now. Its a thing of beauty. Thank you for the great instructions. I've tried several recipes for sour dough bread. This one is the best. It is crusty on top. Should I put some butter on the top to soften it for slicing?
You can if you want to! I usually do.
This is a fabulous recipe and was so easy! Do you have a recipe for sourdough cinnamon rolls? Sure would appreciate it if you do.❤
I don't but this one would be great that way. I'll work on it!
Sourdough starter please!!
I’m excited to try this recipe after two sandwich bread fails. Thank you I’m hopeful
I used this sourdough sandwich bread recipe and made 10 loaves of bread so far. And all came out WONDERFUL. My family loves it so much and i do too. I tried different recipes and i am end up using your for life now. Thank you so much from bottom of my heart 💜 Claire. Greetings from Virginia.
Yay Claire!! It's so great and truly no fail if you ask me. I hope you enjoy it for a long time!
@@FeastandFarmCooks Yesss for sure your recipe is lifetime savings 😄
Thank you for the conversions
I was put off doing sourdough because of the complicated processes involved. Thanks to your video I think I will give it a try.
I sure don't have time for all those folds and whatnot. I love this easy method and you will too!
Excellent video! Thank you! If I just used bread flour, would it just be a bit chewier, and rise a bit more? Thanks.
All bread flour will be just fine! It shouldn’t be noticeably different or chewier.
Thank you!
I made this recipe, and it came out great.
Great to hear!
Please describe exactly how to freeze the slices! Do you separate each slice and what is the best storage method for getting a few slices out every day?
I just paid over $4 for a loaf of sugar free bread two days ago and it's already moldy. It had a nice soft texture but not good flavor. Don't want to waste any more $$ on store bought bread!!
I've just recently learned how to make a starter and have made two wonderful breads with it but I'd like something more along the lines of a sandwich bread so I'm going to make yours!!
I use a Lock and Lock bread box. I slice and then put the slices back in a loaf shape. To use, the bread thaws in about 15 minutes depending on thickness. I take out a slice or two as needed or make sandwiches on frozen bread and let it thaw in lunchboxes.
@@FeastandFarmCooksThank you!! 😊
Do you pre slice prior to placing it into the freezer? And how do you store it in the freezer and for how long? Freezer video please!!
I slice before freezing, yes. Then I put all the slices into a lock & lock bread box and freeze the whole thing. I take out slices as I need them and they thaw in about 15 minutes. Bread stays good for six weeks easily.
If this is a second comment from me, I apologize. I'm not super tech savvy LOL. Also not super Savvy at making sourdough bread so I'm excited for this recipe. I purchased cast iron bread pans and I wanted to see if that would make it necessary to make any adjustments to this recipe? I greatly appreciate your advice and I am going to purchase the book you recommend on amazon. Thanks a million
I’ve never had cast bread pans though I cook with a lot of cast iron. You’re going to have to season those things to death. I’d probably still line mine in parchment because they are to stick until that seasoning is superb. Never wash them and use them exclusively for bead. The way they heat may be a little different. Cast takes longer to heat but retains it better and the dark color could make your bread darker faster. You could consider baking yours at a slightly lower temperature but otherwise you are just going to have a test a lot to figure out how they work for you.
I am kind of new to sourdough. Been doing it for about 6 months now. Have tried a lot of different recipes in that time. Maybe it's something I'm not able to see being somewhat new but I cannot tell much difference if any between doing it this way or all those stretch and folds or a lot of kneading.
No there's not a ton of difference. That's why I don't do them! I do NOT have time for all that babysitting and fiddling. :) Make your life easy and your bread tasty!
Need Sour Dough Starter recipe
I just made this bread this week and I was so 😊 happy.
Great job!
Thank you for this clear and concise video! Question....I had to leave mine to sit after mixing for closer to 19 hours. When shaping the dough, it didn't have quite the structure as yours. Could the extended time have caused this? My house is also warmer than usual at around 76 degrees. Obviously, I'm quite new at this so any input would be greatly appreciated!
Yes absolutely. Over fermentation does a couple of things: first the starter turns slightly acidic and suppresses yeast production and the long rest also digests too much gluten. If you let it go too long it will turn to soup. Next time refrigerate it after the first 8 hours.
@@FeastandFarmCooks Thank you so very much! I am just now nearing the end of my second rise....six hours total at this point....and it has not yet doubled in size. I'm guessing after your comment, it probably won't! I'll still go ahead and bake it and feed it to the birds! LOL
Love your sourdough recipe. Made a loaf yesterday. It turned out so good!
Fantastic!
Awww yes pleaseeeee gonna give this one a whirl Earl 🙏💯🇺🇸👍
Awesome receipe.....can we substitute something else for buttermilk
Water is fine.
Love love love this recipe!! Best ever! I make it several times a week. Have you ever added to it like cinnamon/raisen? If so how would i do it?
I have. If you want swirls, roll the dough out and layer in cinnamon and raisins then roll up and rise the second time. If you want it throughout the dough, knead them in and then plan for a slightly longer rise time to account for the weight of the raisins.
