    As a retired Army Colonel I never pictured myself baking anything, let alone sourdough bread. But when my daughter-in-law gave us some starter for Christmas (who knows why!) I decided to give it a try. Too much information all over TH-cam on the subject. But a video called 101: Beginners Sourdough loaf sounded like the right place to start. Absolutely the right decision! Not only have all my sourdough loaves turned out so well my daughter-in-law calls me the "Sourdough Whisperer" but I have a great time doing it and really enjoy Jack's positive and delightful narrative! Well done! If this old Soldier can do it with Jack's help, anyone can!

      Well I couldn’t. The dough sticks to the basket and flows apart before I put it in.
      I do the folding I do it with water it works it doesn’t stick to my wet hands but it sticks to everything I put it into or cover it up with. Even if I put flour on it the flour just gets absorbed by the dough and the towel sticks to it.
      I use a makeshift dutch oven consisting of a cast iron skillet topped off with a cast iron wok. That’s probably the only good thing I got going. Because at least I get a good crust.

      @mgibuk 4 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      ​@@meganw.4457 I'm a novice too and having played around a bit with sourdough I've come up with a few things:
      -The method in this video of having a preheated baking tray in the bottom of your oven and adding boiling water to it works great for getting a good crust. I've started doing this and its always crispy but not thick and rock hard.
      -The quality of the flour plays a big part. Normal supermarket plain flour is a bit less thirsty and creates a wetter dough. Use strong bread flour if you can, the gluten is much stronger in it. Even some strong bread flour isn't that strong so try a few out.
      -I've started using wholemeal bread flour to feed my starter and it gets it really active and gives the bread a great consistency.

    Jack. A dear friend of mine did all the cooking for the hunt camps back in the 50's. That meant they brought in supplies by mule over the untraveled, rough trails to get to tents. My favorite story ever is her telling me that once in a while they would have mule wrecks, or one would get loose and run off. She said after just one time of that happening, she and her mother carried their sour dough starters around their necks. A guarantee that once they reached camp, they could get the "essential" rolls or bread or pancakes started without waiting for the mules to be found. She was a true trailsman, and taught me a lot about her sourdough. Sadly, she died suddenly, just one week before I was to go to her house and help with her sour dough. You have came in and filled that void I felt. Thank you for everything.

    I then got a couple of different soughdough starters off my Dad, they hadn't been fed for months and smelt rank. Following Jack's guide and recipe I revitalised the starters and made my first sourdough loaf this morning. It's come out of the oven looking and tasting like an artisan loaf.

    Man finally!! All the different instructions everywhere about feeding, discarding, curing, making a levant was overwhelming and super confusing. Love that you bust the myths and experimented, testing assumptions and breaking the rules. You seem to have figured out the no-nonsense way.
    So far I wasted 3 kilos of different types of flour trying to keep my starter alive not even having made a single loaf of bread about 3 weeks in. I now know my problem was to much starter and not adding enough to feed the big amount. Makes sense now. A little bit of yeast + lots of food equals == a bubble party vs lots of yeast + not enough food == problems in the household. For god sake let this work so I can finally enjoy my first made loaf of bread! Thanks mate.

    Hi Jack I use this recipe twice a week its fantastic.
    Just so you know I was on step one. So did the first major fold. I had a family emergency had to leave the house and was out for 10 hours. I come back to a mix that was triple the size. Decided to do the preshape phase. Wait an hour then the final shape.
    The result was the best set of loaves I've ever made. Light and airy!!
    Going to save myself time and hassle and do this from now on.
    1) mix ingredients
    2) shape into ball folding 13 times
    3) leave for 10 hours.
    4) pre shape
    5) final shape and into fridge overnight.

    After weeks of feeding/growing my sourdough starter, I decided to finally 'take the plunge' and bake a loaf of bread yesterday. I happened across this video and found it easy to follow and liked the fact that the bread went into the refrigerator overnight. I followed this up until the bake since I have a dutch oven and didn't use a cooking stone and/or steam, but my bread came out perfectly . . . crispy on the outside, full of lovely air holes and soft on the inside, and very tasty. I hope that it wasn't 'beginners' luck,' but since my second loaf is baking in the oven as I type this, I'll know in a couple of hours. After posting photos of my wonderful loaf on FB and IG, several friends asked me how I did it and I've recommended this video to all of them. Thanks!!

    Tip with the spray bottle is genius - both during the turn and folds and the final bake. I use the dutch oven method here in Canada, and the little bit of spritz of water right before the bake has given me the best oven spring, and crackling caramelized crust yet. It's heartening for an amateur beginner bread baker like myself to see such an improvement in my loaves.

I'd read about it in the Tartine book but it always seemed too involved. You simplify the whole process with your engaging and pragmatic approach and my bread making has just gone to a new level.

Yesterday watched the video step by step and then put the finished loaf in the fridge overnight. This morning took the loaf out for an hour then pre heated the oven, turned out the loaf scored with a razor blade then put in the oven. Loaf spread a bit and I thought o well will need to improve next time, then after about 6 minutes loaf started rising in front of my eyes.

    This has been my first real success with sourdough bread. Probably the best recipe out there to get started with this wonderful craft! The key for me has been to use a rye starter and making sure to mix it when it was still on the rise, about double in size. The rest was pretty straightforward. I have even shortened the rest periods between the folds and it turned out just as good. I can't recommend this channel enough, you are doing an amazing job Jack!

    If you feel bad throwing out starter when refreshing it here's something you can do with it. Spread out a thin layer of starter on waxed paper and let it dry thoroughly (overnight). Roll or crinkle the paper to get the dried starter to fall off in flakes. Put the flakes in a small clean dry jar or in a vacuum bag. It will last forever to replace your starter if it ever goes bad, and it will be ready the next day rather than taking the week or so or of creating a new one. Also you can gift some or all of it to someone else.

    I just started baking sourdough bread a couple months ago. I was having trouble with shaping the dough. I watched video after video.
    None of the folks in those videos thought to mention that you should always work with the sticky side up. After watching this video,
    My problems with shaping the dough are a thing of the past. I love your energy and enthusiasm. Your videos are very entertaining.
    Since I live in Maryland, USA, I seriously doubt that I’ll be able to attend one of your classes, but I have signed up for the blog, weekly email and

    Welcome back and what an excellent video! Just a thought for those with gas ovens. They are very well ventilated and hence do not hold the steam like an electric. A way to get around that is to spritz the loaves with water just prior to putting in the oven then cover with a preheated roasting pan lid for the initial 15-20 minutes before removing for the remainder of the baking/browning stage. Another alternative is a combo dutch oven with a shallow lid in which the bread is baked. The bottom (now top) of the DO is then removed for the last part of cooking. Using the shallow lid makes it easier to put the dough in rather than a 6 inch ker-plop dropping it into the deep part. :)

    Just tried this recipe, I used my own starter (based on the ATK starter), I found this instruction simple and straightforward, I did a single loaf (halved the qty's), and my banneton basket is circular, and everything worked perfectly. I will say that my dough didn't rise much overnight in the fridge and I almost lost hope, but the oven spring was huge! Also, I don't have a stone, so I pre-heated a dutch oven, dropped my loaf in there, put a pan of boiling water in the oven with the dutch oven and it worked really well.. I ended up adding another 10 mins of baking time to have mine come out well, and cornmeal at the bottom of the dutch oven prevents the bottom of the loaf from burning. thanks a lot Jack! great video, I just subscribed.

      Although I've never used a dutch oven, I have watched a few videos and it seems that once the lid is on, the loaf bakes in its own steam so additional steam isn’t needed in the oven itself. Just passing this on as it may help to cut down on work 🙂

I wish I saw this over 5 years ago when I was learning. I do a little different when coming out of the basket. I put parchment paper backed up with a plastic cutting board, and invert. The parchment helps transfer to the baking vessel. Several ways to do things. Thank you and good luck! Rob

    I made a great loaf with this recipe, the difference with others is no bulk ferment, however that seems to be accomplished with the longer times between folds. But it does seem to be dependent on room temp and could probably be varied a bit if the conditions vary. I also followed your banneton seasoning video and I think that saved the day since that has been my biggest problem so far.

    Jack, I can't thank you enough for making it fun and possible for me to make my own sourdough bread. It's been a life changer! Your starter bubble test and scraping methods have probably saved tons of flour worldwide. I cook two loaves at a time about every 1-2 weeks, freezing pieces that I pull out every few days, with a dark rye starter, 50% white whole wheat and 50% bread flour (King Arthur organic) at a 72% hydration and 2% salt. This hobby got me through the covid debacle and four years later, my breakfast egg, sourdough (lightly toasted), and cup of joe is a highlight of every day. I've shared many loaves and learned a lot since, and I still love your videos because there is always more to learn beyond my own experience. Thank you!
