I will have to say, first of all I am African-American, from the inner city. So it is nice to be able the look on TH-cam learn how to make bread. Now I have been and a lot of houses a kitchen in my life, and left the kitchen to go to another room. Maybe I have seen an occasional cat or a dog, or in one case a snake. And I don't even like snakes. But I have never, never, never, open not one bedroom door and seen a cow lying on the floor
For anyone complaining this isn't the lightest, airiest, fluffiest bread, read the title. As a beginner - this was my first EVER loaf of bread. Just made it for the first time today, and turned out great. A little dense, but tasted great. I went for the easy win. I'll try one of those other knead it, rest it, knead it, rest it, repeat 20 times recipes after a few loafs. This was a great start to my bread baking adventure.
I'm in the same boat. Experimenting with different methods. A hugely over looked variable in bread baking is ambient temp, humidity or lack there of and your elevation. It's truly an individual art. There's no one right way and if anyone tells you their way is the only way they're either uneducated on bread baking or are a liar
@@streetpunk99 This is low hydration dough at 58%. If you want a more open crumb, go higher, to 70 or 75 %. It's good for beginners though, if you are not used to handling wet dough. It's best to work your way up, it is worth it.
I accidentally left my bread to Prof for 18 hours....i forgot it because i had to work. I did bake, it was so fluffy and soft. My kids even said "wow this sourdough bread is so soft" 😂 My mistake turned amazing.
This is one of the funniest things I’ve read on the internet. I’m making this for my mom, so maybe she’ll promote me to “Ultra-favorite child” after she tastes it 😂.
Thank you for showing measurements in simple measuring cups and spoons! Every sourdough bread recipe Ive found on TH-cam involves needing a digital scale to measure the weight of the ingredients. I believe the majority of people in the USA (especially my age group) do not have scales in their kitchen to measure grams. I do not understand grams. I'm old fashioned. I use simple old fashioned measuring cups and spoons. Again, thank you, so much!
Weighing ingredients is way overrated. Doesn't matter how stuff is measured, keep the proportions right and comes out same. The old, old cooks used so many parts water to so much flour. Cups made it easier.
I so agree with you Renee, at 81 years old I found it so frustrating trying to figure out all the metrics! (Same with the starters) And now I’m anxious to try my first loaf of sour dough bread!
Love your videos. Great simple recipe.I got my Sourdough starter back in 1989 while living in Alaska from a guy whose Grandfather had started it back in the Yukon Gold rush. So basically it’s been alive over 100 years. I’ve passed it on to friends and family all over the Lower 48.Sourdough is like giving a piece of yourself and everyone loves it and passes it on to others like a great big family. Just like your videos .
Gday Jill. Even though your post is 3 years old, i just want to say Thankyou! You don't have to have all the flash stuff,like a stand mixer, etc and using what you have is exactly whats needed, and bread is very forgiving in my experience. Just because its not blah, blah, etc doesnt mean its not going to be Great to eat! Especially when you made it yourself!!!! PS, The little cow sold me on trying your recipe. Cheers from Oz!!
I love your normal everyday life. Love the dog. Love the calf in the mudroom. Love that you speak to us in a manner that it is easy to learn these skills. Great video.
So nice to hear "a cup" and not 250 grams (or whatever)! At least give me ounces, I have an old fashioned (non digital) scale. When did measuring in grams become such a thing? 🥹
I made this. The only thing I did differently was I don't have a proofing basket, so I used a sprayed bowl. I also had the lovely suprise of running out of parchment paper. I can't just run to the store because it's a quarantine. I used aluminum foil and it turned out awesome! It looks professional and tastes devine. This is my first sourdough loaf ever and I was expecting to fail miserably. I don't mean to brag, but this could be sold in a fine bakery. Thank you. Also that calf makes me want to move to a farm. Are you serious? That's the cutest thing I've ever seen. I'm glad he's okay!
Yes, my question also? I noticed Jill did not, but others have. I also noticed she was using a ceramic coated cast iron, which may be the reason she did not. Just wondering, thanks!
Even though your comment is 3 years old, i just want to say that using what you have is exactly whats needed, and bread is very forgiving in my experience.

Cheers from Oz!!
Thank you. I will be following your tips. I’m almost 2 years into baking sourdough bread. I love it but my bread just won’t rise. My dough rises but my bread doesn’t. So someone suggested I watch your videos. And I love your little animals and your little lovely boy. Love those little boys always got a sneak in there. I’m a 75-year-old great grandmother so loved little children.
I made this recipe with regular all purpose flour first, and the dough was super hard to manage. The second time I used flour especially for bread with a higher protein content and it made such a huge difference, the dough was super easy to manage and the consistency of the bread was perfect
My first couple loaves came out fine but the dough was pretty wet and I found I needed to add flour. However.....once I scooped the flour out of the jar the way she did it, the loaves starting coming out perfect. (I used to measure flour the way I was taught-spoon it into the measuring cup so it was light and airy and not packed). Perfection! Thank you so much for breaking it down and teaching us in an easy to understand manner!
I just recently found your channel from Justin Rhodes(I know, late to the game). I have been wanting to learn these old skills (I have none, lol) and have loved the inspiration and motivation your video give. I just baked my FIRST soughdough bread EVER after watching this video on repeat before & during the process and it turned out great. I am so proud of myself! Thank you so much.
I love Dozer's compassion with the calf. Thanks so much for explaining about proofing baskets. Also thank you for explaining the piece of foil on the oven shelf underneath. These small tips are so helpful to me, especially the "why" (your explanation).
For anyone doubting this recipe: I get consistently good results from this method. I like my more complicated recipes too but this is a staple recipe for me.
Thank you!🫶....I am going to make my first sourdough bread following your recipe.....I was getting confused and overwhelmed listening to other videos......keep it simple baby😊 I'm just waiting for my sourdough starter to finally be ready 🤞
Jill...I truly adore your wisdom and no-nonsense approach to things. I've been using your recipes and nuggets of wisdom for years. You were the whole inspiration behind our desire for a homestead. I've made your other bread forever now and am excited to give this a try!
you have no idea how proud I am of my very first sourdough loaf...all thanks to you. my first attempt failed because of a weak starter. second attempt I knocked outta the ballpark..and it’s BEAUTIFUL too! thank you.
We bought sour dough starter at our local feed & supply swap meet. The recommended recipe to learn how to use the sour dough starter was this one. We are trying this tonight! Thanks so much!!
I watched this for your excellent beginner sourdough bread recipe. But your calf and dog clip stole the show! What a gorgeous creature! I forwarded to my family to see! ❤️. Thanks for taking the time to make the video!
Been trying to get my starter going with great difficulty, until I found these videos of Jill with in 4 days my starter was active and now making supper yummy bread. So simple , I stopped over thinking it and voila now I am making healthy bread.
Hello Jill. My DIL gave me a 8 ounce jelly jar with sour dough starter from a friend. No instructions. Just here you go mom.Good luck. I love baking, and I do make regular bread. But never have done a sourdough one. So I found your video and instantly fell in love with your methods. Like someone else said the video is 3 years old but who cares. You speak my language in simple terms that I will be able to follow. I'm still a little confused on how much water and flour to add to the starter to keep it going though. But I'll figure it out somehow. Bless you and your family. Im 74..so never to old to try something new. Hugs from the mountains of Montana. Jill H.
I want to THANK YOU...!!!!! So very much for keeping this Recipe SUPER SIMPLE.I am new to the Sourdough Community and was scouring for a recipe that was not complex. I will try my !!!
Thank you for sharing techniques that allow me to feel confident in my sourdough journey and for sharing Dozer and the baby calf. Honestly cows and dogs are my favorite things ever and I shed a tear on the footage. You are truly blessed!
I got a really good “first try” result with your method. It took my starter 9 days to be ready (did a float test in a cup of water). Also, because of the timing, I would have need to get up at 2am for the second rise, so I refrigerated the dough til morning. I preheated my over to just 200 and for JUST 2 minutes before shutting off. This provided the perfecting proofing studio for my little gem. I’m enjoying it right now with my lunch. It’s got good tang, good texture and is making me quite happy. Thanks for doing this!
I’ve used this video as a guide to make three beautiful loaves of sourdough bread so far. They’ve turned out perfect! Tangy and delightful, big puffy air bubbles and a perfect crust with just a little crackle to it. Thank you thank you thank you for this video! I love your channel!
This was a lot of fun! We followed your instructions and even though our starter was not as good as yours, we ended up with a marvellous loaf of sourdough, and not too sour either! Thank you for a great recipe and for the great instructions on how to make this beautiful loaf!
Just pulled my first sourdough bread out of the oven and it looks picture perfect! Your recipe and video were so helpful and very simple to follow. I got my starter from a friend, which made it easier and a bit more special. Thanks so much! I am going to check out your other recipes.
Hello there :) Turned out perfectly. First time making, I was little nervous, but your amazing video and calm personality helped a great deal! Thank you so much. God Bless your family! 🕊
Been referring to your recipe/technique for a few years now and never took the time to give you props! Delicious and easy to follow. Thanks for the helpful vid.
A great easy recipe! Thank you! I made sure to heat up my dutch oven nice and hot before adding my fully proofed loaf inside for a full oven spring when it was time to bake. I saw a few comments that mentioned their bread came out dense but I didn't have that issue at all. My loaf was rather on the fluffier side and baked pretty large.To those who dislike their results: Try preheating your dutch oven, the extra heat helps a lot.
Just found your channel and love it. Can’t wait to start making sourdough everything. Thanks for that. The calf on the back porch sure does bring back wonderful memories. My dad loved cows and we frequently had calves in the kitchen when those late cold spells came through.
Excellent video! Thank you! Im making my first loaf of sourdough today..you make a daunting process so easy and fun! Your farm life is so sweet! Again ty for this video! I watched over 30 videos and yours was the best! I'll update tomorrow as I'm putting the loaf to rest overnight now and going to bed! Ty
I just stumbled upon your video by chance, I have watch tons of videos about sourdough bread making, most if not all have a great deal of unrelated and time consuming instructions, I was looking for a simple how to make sourdough recipe. Your video is informative. It is simple and easy to follow, I thank you for that, God bless.
Just made this recipe for my first sourdough artisan loaf and it turned out PERFECT! ❤ Only thing I did different was I added 1 tsp malted barley and I used 3/4 cup starter. Sooo good!
Oh my gosh... thank you! I am totally new to sourdough and definitely feeling overwhelmed!! This is by far the easiest, least intimidating, recipe I have seen! I have made a few discard recipes but had been terrified to try a loaf, until I found your video!! I definitely hit the "like" and subscribed!!
Hi, I have been babysitting my starter and now attempting to make my first loaf ever. Thank you for such detailed instructions. I am on my second rise, using the banneton bowl, and looking forward to baking shortly. I will follow up my comment once it's out of the oven. Thanks so much
I'm excited for you! I just baked my first loaf this week, and I'm hooked! I followed Ben Starr's Lazy Man's sourdough video, and it's very similar to this one. Amazingly easy bread after you get your starter ready. Best, Be.🙌
I did it!! I made it! I made my own starter and now tonight I made 2 loafs. This is awesome. It looks and tastes so yummy. My house smells like popcorn from the ground up corn kernels. Lol
When I bake bread I put a broiler pan on the bottom rack with a cup or so of water in the pan. I put just enough water to cover the bottom of the pan. This makes a delightful crust on the bread or rolls, top and bottom. The bottom will not be rock hard and tastes delightful. I started out doing it on Kaiser rolls but now do it for everything I bake.
@@Portia620 you have to watch putting water in the oven. You want the steam but it can smoke the baking element. I like the steam but I do not like replacing the elements. I don’t use it, anymore.
Thanks for this video, I tried it and it turned great even without a sourdough basket. I don't have a kitchen scale and use cups, so this video was great for me. Next time I will use a bit more flour.
Thank you so much for this video. I made the best sourdough bread today. All because of this video and your sourdough starter video. I love your channel so much I bought your cookbook.
I have been making sourdough bread for a while but I never bought the basket. After watching this I bought the bowl. Merry Christmas to me :) Thanks for the great videos
Thank you! I’m really late to the sourdough adventure, but your videos have put me the most at ease about doing this. I KNEW it couldn’t be as difficult as all the other videos I’ve watched. Basic. Thank you.
THANK YOU 🙏 SOOO MUCH!This is my 3rd attempt at sourdough bread and the first 2 were sooo complicated & didnt turn out well. Your method worked PERFECT! My loaf is high, crusty, soft on the inside! Just perfect! And sooo delicious! I can not thank you 🙏 enough Jill. God Bless you and your family!
Thank you!!!! This is exactly what I was looking for. My sourdough starter is 3 weeks old... and it is ready for me try my hand at bread making! Wahooo!
I made this! Absolutely fabulous! One thing, I used less water than the recipe called for and had to knead in an extra half cup of flour. My starter has gone crazy,,, in a good way. Any way, love the bread and love the channel.
Good to know. My first loaf is in the second rise ... the dough was a bit sticky so I used extra flour during the *countertop fold* and sprinkled extra flour on the proofing towel. I was hesitant to add more flour to the *gentle fold* part of the instructions -- too much flour could create a doorstop. We'll see! Question John: Did your loaf crumb turn out okay after adding an extra 1/2 cup of flour?
Anthea Karanasos how did it turn out. I’m in the same boat as you. Mine was super sticky and it’s in its final rise but I didn’t add more flour and now wishing I did! We shall see in a few hours how this turns out.
@@rozaz4754 Yes I did. I'm still struggling to work with high-hydration dough. We are at about 5,000 feet, so maybe altitude has something to do with it.
Thank you SO MUCH! I tried one recipe on TH-cam that had me adding way too much water and salt. The result was a nasty, hard pancake. I followed your recipe, and had great success. Thank you, thank you!
Ty so much for making this clear , simple and easy. you not only teach the recipe but u also help prepare it for bakjng. today i just successfully made my first loaf! ty so much!
This is the best recipe THANK YOU SO MUCH! I used crushed potato chips because I didn't have corn meal or popcorn, and it's amazing!! I wish I could share a photo.
Here I am at 64 years old. This is my first ever time to try sourdough. Ordered your cookbook and I love it. My problem is my sourdough starter isn't getting thick like yours. It has been several days and I am making it tonight and let it sit over night. I will see in the morning how it looks.
Omg Jill, I am new to this channel, but just made this bread. What can I say?? It is beyond good. It is heavenly, perfect in every way. And that's coming from a german, who ingested bread with the mothermilk and loves bread with a passion, lol. Thank you so much for this recipe, down to earth approach and fabulous presentation ❤ Thank you so
You are the first Guru to mention the 1to1to1 method. Plus recommending to stay away from bleached flour, which i was using for a short time with negative results. Thank you for showing me the better way to apply the techniques needed for better results. I am now a subscriber for good. Can't wait to check out your other videos. TY.....
Jill. Thank you so much for this and your neglected starter video. I followed those two, and I baked my first one successfully. Tasted delicious, too. I worried too much before, but your explanation simplified all process. That was extra helpful!
My first sourdough success and it was the easiest recipe. After several attempts following along more complicated recipes, decided it had to be easier than that and you made me a believer! Thank you!
Very cool presentation. I am making my first sourdough loaf at 72! The making of the starter mix was a long drawn out process but seemed to work. I’m just waiting on my first rise!
Hi! I am in the process of making the sourdough starter. Hope to make a loaf this weekend. I love your relaxed manner of baking this. Weighing everything is not my style. Also, just started making a batch of vanilla. Just having a homesteading time. Thank you for your wonderful book and TH-cam videos. Inspiration.
I just made my very first loaf of sourdough (actually any bread at all) today and followed these instructions. It turned out beautiful. I was a nervous wreck. I used the Cultures for Health San Francisco starter culture and then this recipe. I can’t thank you enough. A lot of recipes are so intimidating but this was perfect.
Oh and I’ve seen in the comments that there is confusion about heating the Dutch oven or not. I didn’t do it because she didn’t, but I did leave the top on the whole time like she suggested for a less crunchy loaf. I wish I could put a pic in here, it is absolutely perfect!
THANK YOU! Was able to revive some old neglected discard I had in the back of my fridge after my 2 year old starter accidentally was thrown in the trash! Your tips inspired me to try one last time and this morning I have an active, bubbly “restarted” discard, so have effectively brought my original starter back to life? Will feed a few more times before I attempt to bake a loaf. Thanks Jill - you’re my hero
Couple questions: how do you wash or do you? the proofing baskets ; do you orefer dutch oven without feet (like a camp oven); has anyone made this in a stoneware baker?(I realize the shape would be a bit different). ❤ Thank you so much for such a clear cut video with easy to follow instructions and giving secondary items that can be used if we don't have all of the supplies!
I've been making sourdough bread for awhile now and I love learning new recipes and ways of doing things. I recently purchased dark rye flour so today's bread is going to be a dark rye sourdough with molasses. I had it once and it was dark rich with a good tooth. So fingers crossed!
Oh, that precious baby cow! What a beautiful face! It choked me up a little, to picture him out in the cold - what a harsh way to enter the world. 😕 And what a sweet boy your dog is! Oh, yeah - the bread looks great! 🙂
Omg thank you!! I just watched an *easy* recipe that called for 5 separate 8 folds an hour plus an overnight rise and 2 more folds. I gave up before I even tried!
Million likes.
The children, the dog, the cow, the bread, your patience ...... your home is filled with Holly Spirit.
Thank you ❤️
Not only are you a great baking instructor, you and your family save baby calves! Your dog is so sweet. Thanks for the great video!
I will have to say, first of all I am African-American, from the inner city. So it is nice to be able the look on TH-cam learn how to make bread. Now I have been and a lot of houses a kitchen in my life, and left the kitchen to go to another room. Maybe I have seen an occasional cat or a dog, or in one case a snake. And I don't even like snakes. But I have never, never, never, open not one bedroom door and seen a cow lying on the floor
Definitely takes some getting used to. I would imagine tho that on a farm it could happen. 😂

My mistake turned amazing.
WOW! My wife's first loaf of sourdough bread! AMAZING! I AM READY TO RENEW OUR MARRIAGE VOWS FOR NUMBER 38, FOR SURE!
LOL I loved this :)
Now it is your turn to make some. So she will want to renew the marriage vows also. 👍😅
LOL...
This is one of the funniest things I’ve read on the internet. I’m making this for my mom, so maybe she’ll promote me to “Ultra-favorite child” after she tastes it 😂.
🤣
No fuss and to the point. Thank you so much. So tired of some of these cooking videos that are presented as if they were up for an Oscar.
😂🏆
lol 😆
This was such a wonderful calm video to watch, the surprise cow in the middle made my day. :D

@John Wood. Do you sell your starter? Cool living piece of history and I would love to get some.
I would love to have a bit of your Alaskan starter too! I'm in NC. How can we do that?
Wow that is AMAZING!
How does one start this bubbling gift that keeps on giving?
I would love to have some of your starter! Do you sell it?
Gday Jill. Even though your post is 3 years old, i just want to say Thankyou!

I also have used oiled/floured bowls and it works for me. I'll be looking for the proofing baskets soon though.
Miriam,did you preheated the Dutch oven before baking? Thanks!
It's less cute when they squirt poop all over, but yeah, they are cute.

I got a really good “first try” result with your method. It took my starter 9 days to be ready (did a float test in a cup of water). Also, because of the timing, I would have need to get up at 2am for the second rise, so I refrigerated the dough til morning. I preheated my over to just 200 and for JUST 2 minutes before shutting off. This provided the perfecting proofing studio for my little gem. I’m enjoying it right now with my lunch. It’s got good tang, good texture and is making me quite happy. Thanks for doing this!

I’ve used this video as a guide to make three beautiful loaves of sourdough bread so far. They’ve turned out perfect! Tangy and delightful, big puffy air bubbles and a perfect crust with just a little crackle to it. Thank you thank you thank you for this video! I love your channel!
This was a lot of fun! We followed your instructions and even though our starter was not as good as yours, we ended up with a marvellous loaf of sourdough, and not too sour either! Thank you for a great recipe and for the great instructions on how to make this beautiful loaf!
Just pulled my first sourdough bread out of the oven and it looks picture perfect! Your recipe and video were so helpful and very simple to follow. I got my starter from a friend, which made it easier and a bit more special. Thanks so much! I am going to check out your other recipes.
Your an awesome teacher. Ya make it seem easy and uncomplicated. Think that even an old soldier retired can do it. Thank you!
Hello there :) Turned out perfectly. First time making, I was little nervous, but your amazing video and calm personality helped a great deal! Thank you so much.
God Bless your family! 🕊
Thank you Jill! We are all obsessed with this bread recipe, so good!!
Been referring to your recipe/technique for a few years now and never took the time to give you props! Delicious and easy to follow. Thanks for the helpful vid.
Thank you! My first loaf was a brick. I was afraid of what it would do to my stomach if I actually ate it...
this saved my starter that was a gift from a friend! thank you!! I've now made 2 delicious loaves in 2 days!
Thank you for your straight-forward-common-sense description. You have completely alleviated my fear of failure.
A great easy recipe! Thank you!
I made sure to heat up my dutch oven nice and hot before adding my fully proofed loaf inside for a full oven spring when it was time to bake. I saw a few comments that mentioned their bread came out dense but I didn't have that issue at all. My loaf was rather on the fluffier side and baked pretty large.To those who dislike their results: Try preheating your dutch oven, the extra heat helps a lot.
Just found your channel and love it. Can’t wait to start making sourdough everything. Thanks for that. The calf on the back porch sure does bring back wonderful memories. My dad loved cows and we frequently had calves in the kitchen when those late cold spells came through.
Excellent video! Thank you! Im making my first loaf of sourdough today..you make a daunting process so easy and fun! Your farm life is so sweet! Again ty for this video! I watched over 30 videos and yours was the best! I'll update tomorrow as I'm putting the loaf to rest overnight now and going to bed! Ty
I just stumbled upon your video by chance, I have watch tons of videos about sourdough bread making, most if not all have a great deal of unrelated and time consuming instructions, I was looking for a simple how to make sourdough recipe. Your video is informative. It is simple and easy to follow, I thank you for that, God bless.
Just made this recipe for my first sourdough artisan loaf and it turned out PERFECT! ❤ Only thing I did different was I added 1 tsp malted barley and I used 3/4 cup starter. Sooo good!
Thank you. Got my first bubbly starter and am ready to go!
This looks so much easier than alot of the other videos I have watched! Can't wait to try it out.
I recently found this sourdough bread recipe. It’s my first one ever and it was a easy as you promised! THANK YOU!!!
Oh my gosh... thank you! I am totally new to sourdough and definitely feeling overwhelmed!! This is by far the easiest, least intimidating, recipe I have seen! I have made a few discard recipes but had been terrified to try a loaf, until I found your video!! I definitely hit the "like" and subscribed!!
I just made my sour dough two days ago, I am going to use this recipe tomorrow to make some bread. The little calf is Adorable. So cute
Hi, I have been babysitting my starter and now attempting to make my first loaf ever. Thank you for such detailed instructions. I am on my second rise, using the banneton bowl, and looking forward to baking shortly.
I will follow up my comment once it's out of the oven.
Thanks so much
I'm excited for you! I just baked my first loaf this week, and I'm hooked!
I followed Ben Starr's Lazy Man's sourdough video, and it's very similar to this one. Amazingly easy bread after you get your starter ready. Best, Be.🙌
Made my first ever sourdough starter and bread from Jill’s video and my hubby said it was pro. My kids are begging for more 🎉❤
I did it!! I made it! I made my own starter and now tonight I made 2 loafs. This is awesome. It looks and tastes so yummy. My house smells like popcorn from the ground up corn kernels. Lol
When I bake bread I put a broiler pan on the bottom rack with a cup or so of water in the pan. I put just enough water to cover the bottom of the pan. This makes a delightful crust on the bread or rolls, top and bottom. The bottom will not be rock hard and tastes delightful. I started out doing it on Kaiser rolls but now do it for everything I bake.
Awesome tip! How much water? A cup or half way filled?
@@Portia620 you have to watch putting water in the oven. You want the steam but it can smoke the baking element. I like the steam but I do not like replacing the elements. I don’t use it, anymore.
Thanks for this video, I tried it and it turned great even without a sourdough basket. I don't have a kitchen scale and use cups, so this video was great for me. Next time I will use a bit more flour.
Thank you so much for this video. I made the best sourdough bread today. All because of this video and your sourdough starter video. I love your channel so much I bought your cookbook.
I almost gave up on baking sourdough until I found this video. So delicious and easy to follow.
Thank you!!!
I have been making sourdough bread for a while but I never bought the basket. After watching this I bought the bowl. Merry Christmas to me :) Thanks for the great videos
Thank you! I’m really late to the sourdough adventure, but your videos have put me the most at ease about doing this. I KNEW it couldn’t be as difficult as all the other videos I’ve watched. Basic. Thank you.
Love your videos both informative and simple to follow
THANK YOU 🙏 SOOO MUCH!This is my 3rd attempt at sourdough bread and the first 2 were sooo complicated & didnt turn out well. Your method worked PERFECT! My loaf is high, crusty, soft on the inside! Just perfect! And sooo delicious! I can not thank you 🙏 enough Jill. God Bless you and your family!
Thank you!!!! This is exactly what I was looking for. My sourdough starter is 3 weeks old... and it is ready for me try my hand at bread making! Wahooo!
Jill makes it seem so easy! My friend got me hooked on baking homemade sourdough bread and she loves Jill too. Delicious bread.
I was so very glad to hear that your little calf was fine!! And thank you 😊 very much for showing the art of making sourdough bread!
I made this! Absolutely fabulous! One thing, I used less water than the recipe called for and had to knead in an extra half cup of flour. My starter has gone crazy,,, in a good way. Any way, love the bread and love the channel.
Good to know. My first loaf is in the second rise ... the dough was a bit sticky so I used extra flour during the *countertop fold* and sprinkled extra flour on the proofing towel. I was hesitant to add more flour to the *gentle fold* part of the instructions -- too much flour could create a doorstop. We'll see! Question John: Did your loaf crumb turn out okay after adding an extra 1/2 cup of flour?
Anthea Karanasos how did it turn out. I’m in the same boat as you. Mine was super sticky and it’s in its final rise but I didn’t add more flour and now wishing I did! We shall see in a few hours how this turns out.
John,did you preheated the Dutch oven before baking the bread? Thanks.
@@rozaz4754 Yes I did. I'm still struggling to work with high-hydration dough. We are at about 5,000 feet, so maybe altitude has something to do with it.
I love how your videos are so simple and they really work better than all those high tech how tos.
Thank you SO MUCH! I tried one recipe on TH-cam that had me adding way too much water and salt. The result was a nasty, hard pancake. I followed your recipe, and had great success. Thank you, thank you!
Ty so much for making this clear , simple and easy. you not only teach the recipe but u also help prepare it for bakjng. today i just successfully made my first loaf! ty so much!
Your method sounds GREAT! I cant wait to try it!!!
This is the best recipe THANK YOU SO MUCH! I used crushed potato chips because I didn't have corn meal or popcorn, and it's amazing!! I wish I could share a photo.
Here I am at 64 years old. This is my first ever time to try sourdough. Ordered your cookbook and I love it. My problem is my sourdough starter isn't getting thick like yours. It has been several days and I am making it tonight and let it sit over night. I will see in the morning how it looks.
I just discovered your sourdough bread recipe for beginners OMG I am truly impressed with it .Thank you
Omg Jill, I am new to this channel, but just made this bread. What can I say?? It is beyond good. It is heavenly, perfect in every way. And that's coming from a german, who ingested bread with the mothermilk and loves bread with a passion, lol.
Thank you so much for this recipe, down to earth approach and fabulous presentation ❤
Thank you so
You are the first Guru to mention the 1to1to1 method. Plus recommending to stay away from bleached flour, which i was using for a short time with negative results. Thank you for showing me the better way to apply the techniques needed for better results. I am now a subscriber for good. Can't wait to check out your other videos. TY.....
I bought a starter from Amazon and it was ready to feed I feed it on Tuesday and now it’s Friday and I have three containers of it 😊
♥️ That calf !! Glad he was okay . Thank you for this video !! You made it less intimidating 😁👍🏼
Jill. Thank you so much for this and your neglected starter video. I followed those two, and I baked my first one successfully. Tasted delicious, too. I worried too much before, but your explanation simplified all process. That was extra helpful!
I didnt have cornmeal and the blended corn kernels was a great tip
Thanks for sharing this recipe! First time doing sourdough bread and it worked perfectly!! I liked its simplicity and effectiveness. Thanks!!!
My first sourdough success and it was the easiest recipe.
After several attempts following along more complicated recipes, decided it had to be easier than that and you made me a believer!
Thank you!
Very cool presentation. I am making my first sourdough loaf at 72! The making of the starter mix was a long drawn out process but seemed to work. I’m just waiting on my first rise!
Best sourdough video I’ve seen yet! Thank you and great job 👏🏻
Hi! I am in the process of making the sourdough starter. Hope to make a loaf this weekend. I love your relaxed manner of baking this. Weighing everything is not my style. Also, just started making a batch of vanilla. Just having a homesteading time. Thank you for your wonderful book and TH-cam videos. Inspiration.
I just made my very first loaf of sourdough (actually any bread at all) today and followed these instructions. It turned out beautiful. I was a nervous wreck. I used the Cultures for Health San Francisco starter culture and then this recipe. I can’t thank you enough. A lot of recipes are so intimidating but this was perfect.
Oh and I’ve seen in the comments that there is confusion about heating the Dutch oven or not. I didn’t do it because she didn’t, but I did leave the top on the whole time like she suggested for a less crunchy loaf. I wish I could put a pic in here, it is absolutely perfect!
I just tried this recipe! So easy and it turned out so good! This was my first attempted at sourdough bread! Thanks for the video!
THANK YOU! Was able to revive some old neglected discard I had in the back of my fridge after my 2 year old starter accidentally was thrown in the trash! Your tips inspired me to try one last time and this morning I have an active, bubbly “restarted” discard, so have effectively brought my original starter back to life? Will feed a few more times before I attempt to bake a loaf. Thanks Jill - you’re my hero
Couple questions: how do you wash or do you? the proofing baskets ; do you orefer dutch oven without feet (like a camp oven); has anyone made this in a stoneware baker?(I realize the shape would be a bit different). ❤ Thank you so much for such a clear cut video with easy to follow instructions and giving secondary items that can be used if we don't have all of the supplies!
I made this yesterday and it turned out fantastic! My first sourdough
I've been making sourdough bread for awhile now and I love learning new recipes and ways of doing things. I recently purchased dark rye flour so today's bread is going to be a dark rye sourdough with molasses. I had it once and it was dark rich with a good tooth. So fingers crossed!
Ahhhhh So excited! This seems to be the first time my sourdough ever turned out, thanks to you! Now to slice into it :-)
Oh, that precious baby cow! What a beautiful face! It choked me up a little, to picture him out in the cold - what a harsh way to enter the world. 😕 And what a sweet boy your dog is!
Oh, yeah - the bread looks great! 🙂
Thank you for making this video. This is the most simple video i have found. I'm new to the world of sourdough bread making ❤. Thank you!
Omg thank you!! I just watched an *easy* recipe that called for 5 separate 8 folds an hour plus an overnight rise and 2 more folds. I gave up before I even tried!
