Amazon has beautiful bread bags with windows. I gift mine using these bags and my friends feel very special. Say love with sourdough ❤. Also LOVE your videos, you have a great style of teaching.

[@GrantBakes]

That’s a great suggestion! I’ll look into them. Thanks so much 😊

[@debra8885]

I use the same bags. I love them! Thank you for your awesome videos!

I buy my bread flour and all-purpose flour in 10lb bags. The bags are perfect for batard shaped breads. Plastic medicine bottles are a good way to transport starter. They seal well and being made of grade 5 plastic will not break. Fun talk, thanks!

Storage. What works for me is slicing it then putting the slices on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Then freeze. Then I place the frozen slices in a plastic freezer bag and store in the freezer. Fresh slices for weeks.

I find my sourdough bread lasts a bit longer when I wrap it loosely in a cotton tea towel or put it in a cotton or linen bag, stored in a cool, dark place.

NASA tshirt- how appropriate as I’m baking some non-flying saucers right now! 😂 Had to start from scratch with a 3 week old starter that just isn’t taking. Added rye flour today at your suggestion! Baking anyway- always tasty. Thank you Grant! I also use bulk brown gift bags from Amazon w handles for gifting the bread.

Hi! Welcome to AZ! Your videos have been so informative for me and my sourdough era. Thank you! Since moving to AZ, do you see any significant differences in your bread than from where you used to live?

[@SusanOBrien-k4w]

I love the bees wax wrap, it is so pretty and it works very well.

[@GrantBakes]

Lesibag Bread Loaf Packing Bags - Printed Bread Bags for Homemade Bread or Bakery - Reusable Bag for Large Loaves - 8" x 4" x 18" (50) I live in west central AZ and use these for home and gifting, they are attractive and can be reused. I purchased on Amazon, they have worked very well. Thank you for your recipies and videos, it is the best sourdough I have every made.

I make keto almond bread and wrap it in parchment paper tied with raffia for gifting

[@suzyb.6234]

I have wrapped my bread in parchment paper and it looks pretty.

[@stevedavidson8802]

Your sourdough raisin cinnamon I’ve done twice it’s excellent the rye flour really helps out a lot. Thank you.

[@susanbeal4322]

Thanks for the Q and A. After slicing my completely cooled sourdough loaf I wrap in heavy duty aluminum foil… it stays fresh and preserves the crunch perfectly….also gift bread that way !

[@lorrainecunningham593]

Great video! My sourdough baking has improved so much since I’ve started watching your channel. Thank you.

[@suzannevelasquez-sheehy2880]

Thanks so much for answering our questions! I look forward to traveling with my starter using your suggestions.

[@bdoa8241]

Love the Q & A! I tried your sheet pan pizza dough and made the mistake of using a pan with no sides… 😅 went everywhere, lol. Where at in AZ do you live? We’re neighbors! Welcome 😊

[@LaMagnatron]

Love ya Grant!

[@GrantBakes]

Thanks for following along!

[@LindaMartinovich]

Love the Q and As!

[@GrantBakes]

Thank you! I had fun with this :) There were so many good questions beyond these as well. Maybe it will be a future video too.

[@maryamfincher1851]

great. What makes the sourdough starter to smell like nail polish and acetone?

[@sandraevanko3633]

Wow! That was interesting, informative, and so good to hear!!! 😂

[@susanhunt9710]

When you make a loaf and your starter is in the fridge do you take it out feed it before you start

[@raybitting3469]

Great video!

[@peterwonders4664]

Like this format👍thank you

[@ihus9950]

Great Video Grant, 👍🏻👍🏻

[@jyotipurba]

Can I make sour dough bread in a bread maker? And skip all the stretch and pulls steps. And proof the bread in the bread maker ?

[@GrantBakes]

Yes, you can. Just make sure the setting gives the bread enough time for a full bulk fermentation and final proof.

[@willielongnecker372]

Can you freeze your pizza dough

[@stevedavidson8802]

I vacuum pack my my sourdough when you deliver it or next day or ship it doesn’t it doesn’t squash the loaf there’s different settings on machines perfect

[@Sbannmarie]

Can't use Rye flour as I am gluten free. I have einkorn.

[@GrantBakes]

I thought that einkorn contained more gluten than rye since it’s a type of wheat. I could be wrong but I would look into that if you truly need to avoid gluten.

[@eighthoneknows8273]

Rye is lower in gluten than einkorn.

[@maryanneeastman153]

25 g……. What if you want to make more than one loaf?

[@lynnvasquez4425]

Increase the ratio

[@LaMagnatron]

First! ❤
