This makes me so happy! Now I can bake any day I want , make the dough in the morning and let it rest until I return from work! I am a beginner and always wait until the weekend for baking sourdough bread, but then find myself spending half of my day off in the kitchen doing strech and folds... I for sure will try this!! Thank you for a calm paced video not skipping any detail. Your bread looks amazing!
Hey Tina! I first saw you a few years ago on QVC. I am happy to get your take on this sourdough journey. I just started using my stand mixer for this and your demonstration is going to be my go-to! Thank you!!!
Hi. Using your method i made a loaf last week and it come out smashing. I'm in the process of preparing another one today as the last one was that good. Well done with the instructions.

Will give this a try, but didn’t see the point of moving it to another container to do the stretch & folds, I’ll just do them in the mixer bowl. Also very rarely make artisan loaves anymore as the mixer sandwich loaves are much more practical for our needs.
For me it's easier to scrape up the dough for stretch and folds in a flat bottomed container - also , then it's already in the bulk fermentation container. Happy Baking!! ❤️
Glad to see that you’re using the stand mixer especially for the initial mix. It’s very helpful when you’re making a double batch dough. I also prefer the rectangular plastic bins for any stretch and folds and they fit and stack easily on bottom shelf of my fridge. Yesterday we had a cold and rainy day and I made 6 boules for gifts. Baked at 450 in covered Dutch ovens.Even after temping the baked boules, they were still a bit damp inside. I did two more additional times in oven at 425 before removing them for cooling. I gave them as gifts to the folks at Cooper Hospital PT. Hopefully they were ok. Thank you. Joseph.

Thank you! I really enjoyed your tutorial and can’t wait to try your method!!
Beautiful loaf!
May I ask where I can get the curved knife you used? I love it.
Great video.
Can you share how you started your starter? Great video, thanks for being so detailed!
My sister-in-law mailed me some of hers dry. You can make your own or you can purchase some at various places like King Arthur Flour website.
Anxious to try this as my loaf was gummy and the crust chewy😢Hoping for better results with your method!!!
Thanks for sharing... do you have a link for that bread knife? Please
Blessings ❤

Would you share links to your favorite knife, scraper and Benetton basket? Etc.

Thank you
You're welcome
Great video! Thank you. I have a dumb question. Why form a loaf into a boule instead of a Batard??
Good question! It's just where I started. In my research a lot of recipes started with a boule. At some point I'll try some batards!
Does bread flour have a better oven spring than all purpose (unbleached) flour
It definitely contributes to gluten network development, so I would say yes.
When you put flour on the counter when shaping, was that bread flour, or rice flour? Does it matter what kind of flour?
Great question - I use bread or all purpose for the shaping. The rice is just for the banneton basket to prevent sticking.
All bought with blood money.
