    I got a starter going about 11-12 years ago and the "refrigerator pet" is still alive and making acid and gas to this day. I mill the special flours to use along with bread flour, bake bread or bagels about 1-2 times per week, and enjoy the obcession personally but almost more so when I give stuff to other people. And what's not to like about sourdough levained pizza or focaccia? My baking methods have changed a little but have simplified to precisely what you've shown in this video. I've learned a lot of great cooking from this channel, Brian. Thanks for doing what you do here, and DON'T STOP!

      I always make a backup by mixing super active starter with flour until it's almost as dry as sand, then putting that in the fridge. Still works 8 months later.

    In 1920s My grandfather bought a Bakery in the California Sonoma Wine Country. He then went over to the Sonoma coast. Late in the evening he mixed some flour and water in a crock. Left the crock overnight in a Foggy meadow overnight....that became his starter.

    Hey Brian, my name is Paul. I live in the greater Greenville South Carolina area, there’s only one good bagel shop here, there used to be two the other one went out of business, anyway I bake a lot of sourdough and sourdough bagels and now using a leaven has been a game changer for me. I’ve made four batches since watching this video and I can already see like a master level step to baking. We watch a lot of your videos, my wife and I and think that you are just inspirational a great teacher and just an all-around nice guy thank you so much for this video, I will never go back to the old way of just using a starter into flour, it’s always gonna be a leaven. By the way, you explain and teach in a level that is understandable and not overwhelming. I thank you for that too.

  • @Yort5
    @Yort5 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Thanks, Brian, for refreshing your sourdough video! I have three things to add:
    1) To all those who might be intimidated by sourdough, don't be! Most of my loaves look nothing like Brian's, but even an irregularly shaped loaf with some holes in it is SO FREAKING GOOD. Anytime I pull a loaf out of the oven, my children devour half of it before it's even properly cooled all the way.
    2) Hey Bri, I'd love advice on getting the bread in more of a sandwich loaf shape - my kids love grilled cheese sammies from the sourdough bread, but the boule shape make is hard to get very many slices that work for those, and the size varies considerably.
    3) Another alternative to the dutch oven is a cast-iron pan with a "burger cover" on it. It's just a half-dome of metal that people use to put over their burgers on the grill to melt the cheese, but I got a 12" one that fits perfectly over my cast-iron pan for like $15 and it works great for trapping the steam during that first bake.

    Hi Bri, appreciate the detailed walkthrough! I tried to follow the recipe twice now, and I have a question - my dough turned out very sticky both times. During the first folding, my dough is nowhere near the nice, compact consistency that is shown at 6:42. I’m just not able to do the tuck-and-fold cuz the dough sticks to everything. What can be the cause of this? Is it smth to do with the starter? Or do I need to do smth different during the mixing?
    I also noticed that during mixing (at the very beginning), my dough is nowhere near as dry as you show at 4:41.
    I live in Europe - maybe there’s some difference in the flours here?

  • @wayneyeo186

    Dried starter - vacuum packed in a mason jar makes a great backup.. It takes about 2 weeks to get it fully back to life when you revive it. it takes multiple feedings ! We have also frozen starter in ice cube trays a deep freezer, then vacuum packed, and brought it back to life. Backup your starter.. one day you will thank yourself! Final rise... we use a parchment round, and transfer that directly to the heated dutch oven.. a few spritzes of water, and cover with the lid for the first part of the bake... the Parchment works wonderfully, and it's super easy to extract the finished loaf. We reuse the parchment 3 or 4 times before making a new round!
    Proofing. we usually put it in the microwave, covered, with the door ajar. Yeasties are pretty happy in there !
    If you want to play with a crumb.. try adding a tablespoon of vinegar. We are partial to homemade apple vinegar. 1 gram of unflavoured vitamin C strengthens the glutens, helping build greater volume. Diastatic Malt helps feed the yeast. Malted barley flour also does the same thing.. you only need 3 grams or no more than 1 teaspoon.. do not over do it ! Each of these are considered to be dough conditioners. We have been doing this for years, and love the results. Google each of these. There is much to learn ! Try just one, or any combination.
    I encourage readers to try to make this bread. Once you get the hang of it, you will wonder what all the fuss is about. with or without dough conditioners, the results are absolutely wonderful ! We make it a couple times a week. When the children show up, we make it every other day.
    Ohh, can not eat the whole thing before it dries out ? No problem. We cut ours in quarters once it has cooled and put them in the deep freeze. If you are in a hurry, nuke it on medium power for a minute. that should be enough to cut off a couple slices. You get fresh from the oven crumb for 4 days straight, right from your freezer !
    Another hint... we have in a pinch, used exactly the same techniques Brian uses, but used instant bread yeast. Everything happens faster. Do pay attention to hydration levels, as the leavener flour and water must be accounted for when you are cheating ! It does not have the sour dough taste complexity, but it still blows the doors off grocery bread, for about 1/4 of the cost !
    Thank you Brian for making the video !

    I ❤️ sourdough and so does my family. When I go through the process, I always make 2 loaves.
    1) I love my lodge multi-cooker over a Dutch oven. (No discoloration of the coating and most importantly you can load the loaf on the short side reducing the risk of burning yourself.)
    2) I have also started experimenting with cold-starter method. Admittedly I am a sourdough rouge in that I never discard and always keep my starter in the fridge. Every time I make a loaf I feed the starter and leave on the counter for 3-4 hours then stick it in the fridge.
    3) I also prefer a cold fermentation process to deepen the sour flavor.

    every time I make a bread from your videos, it is perfect! In addition, I am adding the fried onion (to orange, not to brown) before I move the dought to basket, and they moves the taste to higher level. I just do not know what is the yours "bread flour" - in Europe (or in Czechia) we have many types of (not only bread) flours. From my experience, it seems that you are using wheat bread flour because when I tried to mixure it with rye flour, it was more "watery" but the result was still perfect.

    The leaven is basically a preferment, similar to a poolish. It's entirely not necessary, you can just scoop from your starter until it's too little and needs a feed. But that means uneven proof times.

    @Lizard008 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Very nice recap.
    Personally I prefer to ferment at a lower temperature. More room for error, more flavor development and it fits my schedule better. I swear it also seems to produce better coloured crusts
    Every summer when it's like 25°C or up, the faster fermentation times bug me out. :D
    Small tip for strengthening your starter & LEvain: use a 1/10 ratio on starter to flour and water, rather than 1/1.
    Bake with Jack's "scraping method" captures it very well.

    Hey Brian. I recently watched another video of yours - Your First Sourdough Loaf - and it is slightly different than this one. In that one you recommend all purpose flour because bread flour is too strong. Also, you have leftover levain in that one - here you use all of it. I made your recipe from the other video and it turned out great (although I reduced the water a bit) Does the recipe in this newer video produce a better loaf or would you say they are pretty close to the same? Thanks so much! Your videos are great! After having made many failed loaves, the loaf I made with your recipe was great!

    What size dutch oven do you use for sourdough?
    Also, did you spray the dough with water before putting it in the dutch oven? I don't think you mentioned spraying it when using the dutch oven, but I'm wondering if it just didn't make it through the edit.
    Thanks.

    Does the starter have to be at its peak to prepare the leaven? And does the leaven need to be at its peak to begin mixing? I’ve just started my starter this week and looking to make my first loaf this weekend. My starter has been peaking at 4-6hours after feeding. If my starter peaks at 4-6 hours, would the leaven prepared with the starter peak at the same time?

    Hi Brian! I am struggling with my sourdough bread but I have 2 questions for you...1) I watched a video you did a few years ago and you talk about using AP flour but in this video, you say "bread flour". I am using AP flour for the bread but I use bread flour and rye flour in my starter which i believe is good cuz it looks like yours, it floats and my failures taste like sourdough. Should I switch to bread flour?? Question 2) When I try to make the cuts for the venting and oven spring the cuts don't stay. The cuts close up immediately, is my dough too hydrated? Any advice is appreciated.

  • @VincentGroenewold
    @VincentGroenewold 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I have a bad back, so I still use a stand mixer. Waaaay easier en makes me want to actually bake sourdough regularly, I just check if I get a window pane during the mixing and also gives a nice indicator instead of feeling it by hand mixing. The layering of the gluten I do by hand indeed, which becomes very easy after the initial mixing. Using a Dutch oven was indeed a revelation in my first attempts, what a difference that makes.

    • @naica2607
      @naica2607 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      How much time are you mixing it with stand mixer? I found that information is missing or when provided is 5min or so. I don't think the professional backers are mixing it only 5min... Once I tried to let the mixer run for 30min and still had a good sourdough, so I'm a bit lost about this.

    When I bake a sourdough boule, once it cools I cut it in half and put 1/2 in the freezer and split the other half into two 1/4 sections. Having 2 cut sides on each section tends to dry the bread out faster. How do I shape and bake a batard instead? I actually do have an oblong Dutch oven that would work, but I’d like your input. Thanks.

      @@codename495 once your starter is in a happy place, there is no need to renew it more than once every 5 days. We use a 500 ml ( 2 cup) wide mouth mason jar, and put a lid on it, but no screw ring. The night before we want to use it, we create the leaven and stuff it in the microwave, door open, and sit it on a sandwich plate. It can overflow! We have been using 50 percent hydration starters and Leavens for years. It makes the math super easy! 50 percent water and flour by weight. You choose the weight that works for your loaf. As long as you account for all the water and flour in the total recipe, it will work. We like 62 percent hydration.

    • @moyatooctopus
      @moyatooctopus 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      If you are worried about waste, you can reduce the amount of feeding and starter dramatically while keeping the ratios from your favorite recipe. I think Brian's recipe linked in the description is one of the better designed ones in terms of scale but I've gone as low as 10g flour and 10g water and it's been fine, you just need to be careful when measuring since one gram over can cause a 10% spike lol. Ratio really is the only thing that matters not total starter amount when in maintenance mode. Remember this really is just a low tech cell culture, which in labs is done in 6 well plates that can contain only 3ml at a time! Just remember to scale up across a couple days before bread baking.
