Excuse me, WHY is Ben almost as tall as you 😭😭 I’ve been watching you guys since he was 3! Thank you so much for all the content you bring us! This video came just at the right time for us ❤️
The past couple of weeks I have been digging thru your videos trying to find a sourdough demo for my starter. "Oh come ON..She HAS to have one!!" Lol. You must have heard me! 😂 Thank you, Jess!!
Jess, I have never, ever seen sourdough explained so simply! I actually think now is the time for me to jump in and give it a try :-) thank you so much!
I'm soon going to make my sourdough starter.... I'm definitely going to use your method. You really know how to explain the process, thank you for that. I have to say I loved when your boys joined you in this video... beautiful family 🍞
I like your method on recipe thought process on things! The realistic baker/chef isnt going for an award winning anything! Feed u + family is good enough for me too!!🙃
Loved your laid back video for laid back sourdough! I’ve been baking sourdough weekly for nearly a year. Never baked bread before, but love baking now. Your video was encouraging, lovely, especially for those feeling overwhelmed and fearful of getting started. I’m makes four to six loaves each week, usually gifting two of those to friends, neighbors, the local fire hall, or the community food pantry. Thank you for the super video!
Last time I made SD bread I just used a 9x5 loaf pan for sand which bread…I just looked it up online…it turned out beautifully… nice encouragement,Jess….
Every time I ask the Lord a specific question, he always answers in my sister Jess' voice lol. I love it. Thank you so much for teaching me and everyone. Thank you for listening to the Lord.
FINALLY - a method I can commit too. I have had starter (keeping it fed) for 2 years and just too overwhelmed to even try it. Thank you for keeping it simple.
Just cut my first loaf. Used your instructions and success!!!! Moving on to Red Wine Jelly tomorrow. Wish me luck!!! I am really enjoying these videos and trying to cook along. I must have stopped and backed up a hundred times but by George, I think I got it. Happy Holidays everyone!
I sort of learned there was a lot more flexibility in this process as I went along on my journey the last couple of years. Some teachers were so stringent I kept getting freaked out when I had a fail...but I kept on. I love your encouragement, making this baking relaxing and productive but not a time taskmaster. I think I might need a bigger dutch oven, though. Blessings, Marie
I have a cast-iron trivet that I put in the bottom of my Dutch oven and sat my bread on top of that and it works really well keeping the distance and airflow in the pan
Paul Hollywood a well known baker and celebrity in England uses cold water. He says the cold has a longer fermentation. I only do it with yeasted bread. I like less sour sourdough.
This finally feels like a sourdough tutorial and recipe that I can follow. Thank you for being so open about not always needing to get it perfect and sometimes just aiming for “serviceable,” because there are other priorities/chaos. You are so good at taking the pressure off of “hard” (new) things -- a true teacher. Thank you for sharing your gift.
Thank you for this wonderfully permissive demonstration of sourdough bread making!!!I I started out being “precise” making sourdough and have ended up being SO casual about the whole thing once I missed my precise target and my bread turned out great anyway. I find sourdough bread, pizza dough, and focaccia ridiculously forgiving. My husband is my warm bread tester. And oh yeah, sliced sourdough freezes beautifully snd makes great toast and sandwiches. What a great vlog.
Wonderful teaching; I’ve been making a sourdough discard loaf with eggs & milk & it’s always dense but tasty. I do like the basic white flour loaf for the chewy texture & taste. I’m still learning & trying many recipes. Thanks & bless everyone 🤗🇨🇦🌻
Happpppy birthday Jess!!! Your birthday falls in between 2 of my closest friends. Donna 15th/ Kristin 17th. Have a beautiful day filled with lots of love and joy!🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤
The timing of this video is perfect! I started my first sourdough starter last week and it’s finally ready. I’ve been trying to find a good loaf recipe, but every one I’ve found just leaves me overwhelmed! Thank you for simplifying the process for those of us who, like you, aren’t looking to win awards and just want to feed their families! I’m going to give it a whirl tonight when I get home from work!
I appreciate the reviews by Mr. President and his Ambassador. ❤ I got a little lost in the timing process because it was so fast, but I think I can do this.
The 3 different aesthetics in your outfits and "Meh, it'll work out!" attitude has definitely hooked me haha. Thank you so much for this video. I really need just a simple way to make bread, and plenty of places on the internet are trying to make The World's Best Bread. I’m with you - sometimes I just want bread!
Yayyyy more sourdough cooking! Jess you have been such an inspiration and a teacher to me! I remember another video you did on the R&R channel back in AK and I wanted to start so bad. I FINALLY started this year!! And you’re so right! It’s like …I don’t need perfection or to win awards, I just want some bread!! lol Happy Birthday beautiful human!! And thank you for all that you do 💜🎂🎉🎁
I have a similar method and the bread quality is relatively consistent. I use a flour combination of 300g white bread flour, 150g strong whole wheat flour, and 50g rye flour. I mix that with 300g tepid water, 250g active starter and 12 to 15g kosher salt (we like a little extra salt in our bread). After the 1 hour autolyse, it’s 4 stretch and folds, 1/2 hour apart during cold weather and 15 minutes apart during warm weather. I don’t even do a bulk fermentation, I just shape the loaves a half hour after last stretch and fold and drop into a basket or loaf pan lined with a tea towel and rice flour. I pop it into the fridge for 48 to 60 hours and then bake at 450’F for 35 minutes, lid on and 12 to 14 minutes lid off. This is my basic loaf and I will add other things to it from time to time such as jalapeños and cheddar or flax and sesame seeds. It’s a no fuss loaf that has consistently turned out well enough that my family thoroughly enjoys it. It has a relatively closed crumb which we prefer because we like it as toast with our homemade jams or peanut butter. When you nave a busy schedule and need to manage your time carefully, something this simple makes it easy to make a healthy option at home rather than buying that white fluffy stuff they call bread at the grocery stores.
❤I bought Whispering Willow Farm’s Sourdough Starter dehydrated years ago and always have at least a quart in the refrigerator for use. Today’s bread making day is all about building up doughs to bake tomorrow, with the hopes to restock the freezer of sliced bread for summer tomato sandwiches when it’s too hot to bake. 😊
What perfect timing! I have killed three starters and failed many many many times at baking sourdough. I just ordered another dried starter. By watching this video I just realized my mistake. I over kneed them! Can’t wait to try again. Thanks Jess!
After many failed attempts of different sourdough recipes, I tried your recipe and it turned out beautiful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge I now have a sourdough recipe that my family loves.
Happy birthday Jess! 🎉 today is my also my birthday, I'm 37. 😊 Thanks, as always, for the great content. I'm always learning something new from you and I love "catching up" with you. I hope you have a wonderful birthday evening!
I’ve been on a journey with sourdough and tried different recipes and landed on the Tartine Country Loaf recipe with the most success! I bought my starter from Amazon from a bakery in San Francisco and it’s been going for a very long time now. I got overwhelmed with the amount of discard involved so I learned the zero discard method and just grow fresh starter with every recipe. Love all the different things I’ve learned with my sourdough journey it has enhanced my cooking skills 💯
This is the sourdough video I needed. Thank you for making the process so approachable. I've made sourdough before but got downhearted at all the timed stretches and folds that I gave up. It was too much for my busy schedule. Now I see it is possible to do it without all the fuss. Thank you! Im really enjoying this new channel, by the way. Great job!
First time watching this channel and it's one of my favorite sourdough videos! The vibe matches mine. At the end of the day the outcome is a beautiful loaf of bread that never fails to amaze me in its simplicity. Thank you for keeping it real. Appreciate you!
I have left my loaves long fermenting in the fridge for several days ( completely forgetting about it) and it was some of my best loaves and sooooo easy on the gut for me!
Great little tutorial on sourdough. I think you’re totally right about being able to make it fit into your life. It seems overwhelming at first but fortunately there are wonderful, real people like you, who share these videos of real life. Thank you! I’ve been making it for a couple months now and love it. But there is definitely a learning curve. This was great!
I ate a piece of my own laid back sourdough while watching this! When I started baking with sourdough, I watched all the videos and read recipes and got majorly confused. Eventually I decided if women throughout history could do this without modern equipment, I was probably making it way more complicated than it needed to be. Also, even if you mess up, it's still bread!
This video has been very helpful to me. I am very new to sourdough. I have only made 1 loaf so far. I found it very stressful! But seeing you and listening to you, I need to chill. I am going to get my starter ready to make another loaf in the next few days and I am not going to stress about the blocks of time between the steps!
I just made first loaf for this year. Couldn’t get my starter developed for a long time, but all of a sudden it took off. I now will dry my starter and save in case I quit or neglect it and won’t have to start over from scratch. My method is more like yours and I decided not to stress about it anymore. If your starter is good it will turn out fine. Thanks for sharing your process!
Thanks Jess; one of these days I'll get to doing this. Ezra looked sooo handsome in his suit. Those boys are growing too fast. Thanks again, take care.
Beautiful bread! Ben Starr helped me losemy fear of it but Im still a beginner. My crust is thicker and tougher than yours looks. I want to work on that part. Ezra looks so handsome in his suit! Taking his bread judging job very seriously!❤
Perfect timing on this video; I have been searching for an "easy" sourdough bread recipe/procedure. I actually have starter on my counter that is ready to use so I am going to go get some dough ready to bake tomorrow. Thank you!!
17:28 "blank in the oven" Are you saying without anything on it? Mine LIVES in the oven on the 2nd shelf beneath everything I cook. I find it helps to regulate the temp. It is probably 10 years old now.
Thank you Jess! You inspired me to pick sourdough back up. I gave up on it last year after multiple failed attempts. Your laid back approach is exactly what I needed!
I'm so glad to see you approach sour dough with less rigidity. Our personalities are so similar and every other instruction video I have watched just seems overwhelming. Can't wait to try my hand at it again. Love your beautiful gray pattern at the beginning of the video and loved the pictures of "fancy Christmas dinner on IG. Merry Christmas!
Great video, so many ways to do this. Been making my version for 6 years but it's more like an artisan bread than a purist sourdough loaf. Tastes great and my friends love it.
Awesome video! I am going to try the stone in the oven but I also saw someone put a little rice in the bottom of the dutch oven before they put the bread in to help with the bottom not over-browning.
We preheat our pizza stone to 220°c all the time with nothing on it. I am making my first loaves of sourdough tonight following this guide. Currently waiting for the hour to do a stretch and fold.
I have found that putting a round silicone baking mat in the bottom of your dutch oven, under the loaf helps make a softer bottom crust as well. They even make some with handles specifically for this purpose.
New subscriber here. I am so glad I found you because my husband and daughter has a gluten intolerance! And I am learning to make bread and wanted to eventually make some for my family. I recently heard some of the same info from a friend that makes sourdough for gluten intolerant people. Thank you so much for this video and I will let you know if they can have the bread also.
Happy birthday Jess, I just love your videos, and your smile and laughter is so contagious, it puts me in a good mood especially when work is a lot at times. Where did you get your spiral egg holder I love it! Thank you for all your hard work I know it a lot to juggle at times. God bless I hope you had a fabulous day 🥳🎉🎈
Happy Birthday! The loaves look great. It is on my list to learn how to make sourdough bread. I have made myself a 2025 Goal List on things I want to do or try to do. Ezra looks so handsome in his suit. The boys have grown so.
Happy Birthday!!! 🎉 Looks beautiful, Jess. I'm going to try to leave the lid off for that 10 minutes. Mine always come out too chewy and too thick of a too hard crust. I like a light crispy thin crust and just can't seem to get there.
This has been the most realist simplest video on sourdough I’ve seen and helped better than any other video I’ve watch❤
You're so right, there's a million right ways to do it. We ditched the scale this past year and have been LOVING an ultra laid-back approach!
Excuse me, WHY is Ben almost as tall as you 😭😭 I’ve been watching you guys since he was 3! Thank you so much for all the content you bring us! This video came just at the right time for us ❤️
I tell these kids all the time I can’t believe their audacity growing up so fast 😂
Me too!!! @@The_Farmers_Table
The past couple of weeks I have been digging thru your videos trying to find a sourdough demo for my starter. "Oh come ON..She HAS to have one!!" Lol. You must have heard me! 😂 Thank you, Jess!!
Ya I remember that little guy trimming the grass with scissors he has always been a big help 🥰🥰🥰❤️
I was looking for the covers for the bowls. Did I miss a link.
Jess, I have never, ever seen sourdough explained so simply! I actually think now is the time for me to jump in and give it a try :-) thank you so much!
I love seeing how others do their sourdough. I also always have my stoneware pizza stone under my sourdough while it bakes and haven’t had a problem.
I'm soon going to make my sourdough starter.... I'm definitely going to use your method. You really know how to explain the process, thank you for that. I have to say I loved when your boys joined you in this video... beautiful family 🍞
I love how the boys appear out of the woodwork to eat the bread. ❤️😂
They are forever lured to the kitchen by good smells .
I like your method on recipe thought process on things! The realistic baker/chef isnt going for an award winning anything! Feed u + family is good enough for me too!!🙃
That’s exactly right!! No need for fluff, just real food for real people.
Thank you for giving us all permission to bend the rules a bit to simply feed our family 🙌🏼
Lord knows if I had to follow any rules precisely, we’d all starve.
@ amen!

CONGRATULATIONS! Thanks for sharing 🎉❤
Happy birthday Jess..
From Cottonwood, California Your a blessing ❤
I listen from cottonwood too! Small world.
Happy birthday, Jess!
“I address the bread” 😂 Can I just say I know exactly the meaning behind that statement.😂😂
I never thought to stretch and fold IN the bowl! I always take it out and make a huge mess. 🤦🏻♀️ Thanks Jess, I always learn something!
love sourdough have kept mine alive for seven years now
Benjamin was right! The entire video plus the bread = ten of ten. Thanks for the simple version. I have a gluten sensitivity so glad to know this.
I sort of learned there was a lot more flexibility in this process as I went along on my journey the last couple of years.

That was great. Love making sourdough bread just hate all the waiting between each section. Hearts and Flowers coming your way. ❤️💐
That bread is BEAUTIFUL!!! I love sourdough bread. There is nothing like sourdough cornbread or biscuits.
The 3 different aesthetics in your outfits and "Meh, it'll work out!" attitude has definitely hooked me haha. Thank you so much for this video. I really need just a simple way to make bread, and plenty of places on the internet are trying to make The World's Best Bread. I’m with you - sometimes I just want bread!
Sometimes the best way to get the thing done, is the way that will get it done. Perfect is for magazines.
This is life advice right here.
Bread looks beautiful Jess! I’ve attempted 3 times already. Bread was sooo dense. I will try again after the holidays 🍞
Happy birthday, Jess!!
I love that you have Captain Spock watching over your kitchen
Haha he’s my inspiration to be calm and logical while cooking! 😂😂
Happy Birthday from Scotland 🏴
Yayyyy more sourdough cooking! Jess you have been such an inspiration and a teacher to me! I remember another video you did on the R&R channel back in AK and I wanted to start so bad.

Does this make 1 loaf? I only want to make 1 at a time. Thanks 😊
@@shill4sounds like it would; 500g combined flour; compared to the 1kg in the video which makes two loaves

This video has salvaged my enthusiasm for bread making. 🍞 😊 Thank you, Jess. Merry Christmas
Happy Birthday Jess!!
Yes! Thank you! You did a great job at making this seem much simpler ❤
Happy birthday Jess! 🎉 today is my also my birthday, I'm 37. 😊 Thanks, as always, for the great content. I'm always learning something new from you and I love "catching up" with you. I hope you have a wonderful birthday evening!
I have not been in the mood recently to fire up my starter again, but now you've got me salivating!!
Your preciousness is growing in so lovely!! Mine is like scattered tinsel. (Silver hair)
Appreciate your insight on the process especially when it comes to when you do each step and work it into your schedule!
I love how Spock is overseeing this. I haven't looked but I hope you have a beginners sourdough starting method. Great content.
Haha! He’s definitely the head of the kitchen operations. Keeps things logical 😂
I’ve been on a journey with sourdough and tried different recipes and landed on the Tartine Country Loaf recipe with the most success! I bought my starter from Amazon from a bakery in San Francisco and it’s been going for a very long time now.

Ok I am impressed,If it was me doing that I would’ve been tasting the dough continuously, I love raw dough!
First time watching this channel and it's one of my favorite sourdough videos! The vibe matches mine. At the end of the day the outcome is a beautiful loaf of bread that never fails to amaze me in its simplicity. Thank you for keeping it real. Appreciate you!
Welcome! And I agree, it’s amazing because of how perfectly simple it is!
I have left my loaves long fermenting in the fridge for several days ( completely forgetting about it) and it was some of my best loaves and sooooo easy on the gut for me!

Happy birthday! Also, with your fresh ground flour, you might try running your hands and forearms around in the flour. our skin carries great yeast.
It’s the absolute BEST. Quick and simple. 👍♥️
Bravo Rand 👏 👏 👏 the people are in need of restoration of our constitution and civil liberties.
❤I made sourdough scones for coworkers as gifts this year. So versatile! 😊
This video has been very helpful to me. I am very new to sourdough. I have only made 1 loaf so far. I found it very stressful! But seeing you and listening to you, I need to chill. I am going to get my starter ready to make another loaf in the next few days and I am not going to stress about the blocks of time between the steps!

I just made first loaf for this year. Couldn’t get my starter developed for a long time, but all of a sudden it took off.

I like your method. Seems a lot simpler and not as much babysitting.
Thank-you for pointing out that perfectly serviceable is all that’s needed so often. Love your approach !
You did such a good job showing the process and how it's worth it.
Thanks Jess; one of these days I'll get to doing this. Ezra looked sooo handsome in his suit. Those boys are growing too fast. Thanks again, take care.
Beautiful bread! Ben Starr helped me losemy fear of it but Im still a beginner. My crust is thicker and tougher than yours looks. I want to work on that part. Ezra looks so handsome in his suit! Taking his bread judging job very seriously!❤
Perfect timing on this video; I have been searching for an "easy" sourdough bread recipe/procedure. I actually have starter on my counter that is ready to use so I am going to go get some dough ready to bake tomorrow. Thank you!!
17:28 "blank in the oven" Are you saying without anything on it? Mine LIVES in the oven on the 2nd shelf beneath everything I cook. I find it helps to regulate the temp. It is probably 10 years old now.
Happy Birthday Jess, boys are so handsome. Thank you ❤❤❤
Thank you Jess! You inspired me to pick sourdough back up. I gave up on it last year after multiple failed attempts. Your laid back approach is exactly what I needed!
I really knead 😂a simple recipe cause the birds got my last sourdough attempt 😂😂❤hi 👋 from NZ
I'm so glad to see you approach sour dough with less rigidity. Our personalities are so similar and every other instruction video I have watched just seems overwhelming. Can't wait to try my hand at it again. Love your beautiful gray pattern at the beginning of the video and loved the pictures of "fancy Christmas dinner on IG. Merry Christmas!
I've been hoping you would make this video, yay! My toddler is going to love watching this one with me later
❤wonderful video Jess, so straight forward and naturally well presented, I got a lot out of this tutorial, love your teaching style ❤❤❤
Great video, so many ways to do this. Been making my version for 6 years but it's more like an artisan bread than a purist sourdough loaf. Tastes great and my friends love it.
I love the stoneware hack. Thanks so much
Was baking my fist ever sourdough loaf when I saw this was posted 😂
Awesome video! I am going to try the stone in the oven but I also saw someone put a little rice in the bottom of the dutch oven before they put the bread in to help with the bottom not over-browning.
Thanks, Jess. This is so helpful. I make mostly sandwich sourdough but I am more likely to make this now.
Thanks Jess for presenting this in a simple manner. I'll share it with friends who are just getting started.
We preheat our pizza stone to 220°c all the time with nothing on it. I am making my first loaves of sourdough tonight following this guide. Currently waiting for the hour to do a stretch and fold.
Happy Birthday to Jess ! I enjoyed watching you make sourdough bread and it gives me the confidence to try and make one!
I have found that putting a round silicone baking mat in the bottom of your dutch oven, under the loaf helps make a softer bottom crust as well. They even make some with handles specifically for this purpose.

I so love watching you cook. I learn so much Jess. Ty.
HAPPY BIRTHDAYYYYYYYYYYY!
I’m not brand new to sourdough, but this is a great explanation. Thanks for sharing!
This popped up right after I mixed up a sourdough bread loaf 😋
Thank you. May be ready to try again.
Happy Birthday!
The loaves look great. It is on my list to learn how to make sourdough bread. I have made myself a 2025 Goal List on things I want to do or try to do.
Ezra looks so handsome in his suit. The boys have grown so.
Happy Birthday!!! 🎉 Looks beautiful, Jess. I'm going to try to leave the lid off for that 10 minutes. Mine always come out too chewy and too thick of a too hard crust. I like a light crispy thin crust and just can't seem to get there.
