indeed! he have good advice and i make now two loafs with his tehnique on stretch and fold. i can't wait to see how my breads will look and taste ♥️

[@ecaeas4439]

Totally agree. The point about different hydrations requiring more or less / different styles of mixing was eye opening. I'm a total novice at bread making and get frustrated when I try a bread recipe that calls only for folds to develop strength when the dough starts off really shaggy and I end up with a mess at the end of baking. I'm going to try the mixing method shown and see if my end product is much better.

[@GrantBakes]

Here are the ingredients if anyone is interested: • Water 577g (Plus 30g added throughout the mixing and folding) • Flour 850g (50/50 blend of Type 85 and Strong Bread Flour) • Sourdough Starter 170g (100% hydration) • Salt 21g

This is the antithesis of industrial bread making. Artisan bread….slowed down….meditative…..satisfying. Pulling the dough and then letting it relax multiple times is key, as is the cold rise. This was like one of those master class videos, but free! This is all you need……

[@authorworld]

I thought I was just going to watch you make bread at home as an example of how to do it. This video reminds me of my daughter asking her mom for advice on a music assignment. I'm a professional musician so my wife asked my daughter why she didn't ask her father for advice. My daughter answered, "I didn't want to know that much." This was actually great advice, thank you.

[@justbeevideos]

I didn't buy anything that was advertised on this video so I feel the need to give you a big THANK YOU for posting and teaching me your method of sourdough baking. I am on loaf 2 of the 100 that it takes to get good. I think of them as 100 lessons.

[@georgihristov933]

At the end when you said, if you have 2 bread and you don't need one, give to a neighbour, That really hit home for me. I often give to my roommate, friends, colleagues, because I bake for the hobby and is very joyful to give others a homemade item. Next time I might go door to door of the building to see if I can give a neighbour some bread, who knows.

I watched your video with interest. Such precision , with timers, instant read thermometers, ect.

No fancy gear like yours.

[@agirlisnoone5953]

I'm thinking it doesn't need to be so complicated. Imo there's not so much difference in flavor when you get that scientific vs the basics. Also, pioneers didn't have cold fermentation option as in a fridge. I wonder if their breads were as delicious?

I appreciate his effort with the detail’s because it helps beginners get a better result. The people with sour dough hanging in a bucket on their wagon grew up with generations of people who knew how to make that type bread and it was as basic as learning to talk because that’s all they knew. Over time and with experience maybe I’ll hang my starter in a bucket too.

[@missmishpot]

This is a cool video because most sourdough videos stress wait, stretch - fold, wait, stretch - fold, or slap and fold, but rarely highlight an initial kneading process after autolyse for developing strength near the start. Very interesting! Thank you for sharing this process!

[@markparker5585]

It’s a pretty easy cycle to fit in around working days. I bake one or two loaves of sourdough a week, keeping my starter in the fridge. For a loaf the following day, take the starter out before work on day 1, and feed it. Leave out until back from work. Mix the main dough and autolyse (30 mins to 90). Mix in salt and starter. Usually 2-4 stretch and folds (that feeling thing) 30 ish minutes apart. Shaping stage and into banneton, and into fridge. Day 2 after work, scoring and baking. To be honest, I rarely autolyse anymore, the sourdough process is a long one anyway, and I’ve found no real difference in outcomes between autolysing and just adding everything in together at the start. Again, this is just what I’ve found for home baking, and I’ve not experimented with both methods at the same time under the same conditions to compare directly. It’s no big deal, it just saves one step, and an hour of the first evening, if my time is limited. As a beginner, I’d do what Jonathon says, until you get a workflow that works for you. If you are very well organised, you can bake on the second morning, rather than evening, so you have a loaf immediately when you get home. 20 minutes to preheat the oven and 40 to bake, before setting off. Good luck with that 😉

[@cleancarnivore]

My baking life has had three stages. Straight bread early on. Two decades later, high hydration Artisan bread. Now after another long hiatus I am scoring my sourdough loaves and enjoying another rebirth. Artisan bread in 5 got me baking again but the rustic loaves left me wanting more uniform consistency. I tried sourdough again by making my own starter from scratch. I am much more attentive and consistent with my feedings and have been rewarded with much better performance. Over two days I baked Sourdough Dark Caraway Rye and a Sourdough Roasted Potato Onion Dill Rye. A total of four loaves. I kept two for tasting and gave the other two away. What a joy to deliver fresh warm bread. While I appreciated your hands on demonstrations I resonated with your philosophical approach. Thanks for a great video.

[@tonytony6031]

Making Sourbread for 2 years now. Watching the video made me realise that I was overproofing my dough slightly. This mornings bread was perfect. Thank you for start to finish video.

[@victoryak86]

Tony I think I did that too. I was doing the stretch and folds and it was going really well so I lengthened the bulk fermentation. When I was getting ready to put them into the bannetons it was becoming all loose and overly sticky. So frustrating but I think it passed its high point and was “deflating” I guess.

[@tonytony6031]

@@victoryak86 Hi yes, all depends on the warmth of your kitchen, normally bakers starter ratio is 10% of your flour, I used to put 220gr of starter for 1kg of flour as per recipe, but realised it was fermenting to quickly, now I add only 140gr, and have reduced my water from 730gr to 650gr reducing the hydration, making the dough slightly less more resilient when shaping. Its takes slightly longer to ferment, but its fine.

[@victoryak86]

@@tonytony6031 great I appreciate that. Also I’ve noticed it depends on the ratios within the starter as well. He I think goes with a 1:2:2 ratio so the starter I think has more water, thus increasing the water in the actual dough (although there’s the same amt of flour there so…). I’m thinking in my case I need to pay more attention to the starter being at its peak range but also being more careful with the ratios etc. His starter looks a bit more robust than mine. I think I need to consider (more) the temp of room, water temp, quality of starter, then not extending the bulk ferm. as long as I have been. Thx again

[@tonytony6031]

@@victoryak86 my starter is always 100% hydration, meaning equal amounts of flour and water. When making my leaven for the dough, I use 40gr of starter, (fed that day) and add 90gr water and 100gr flour to resemble toothpaste consistency, mix it really well and leave overnight, it should have risen and be nice and bubbly to use in the morning to make 2 loaves, 1kg flour.

[@nigelbarber6630]

I have been making sourdough for many years and have gently experimented different and simpler ways to achieve a great product. My best hack is to mix the starter, flour and water and once mixed add the salt with a small amount of water as a brine bath. As you then fold and stretch the dough, the brine coats the dough and mixes in, but not fully. When you bake the bread the crust has more crunch and the salt hits your taste buds - this makes it for me. I estimate that two loaves use a tablespoon of salt and i add an eggcup of water.

Love this! I have watched many of your videos since before I dared take the leap and start baking. I’ve gleaned from many bakers on KZbin. And as much as I learn from watching this, as a mother of five who just needs to feed my family nourishing food, I make a much much simpler bread. I mix all my ingredients together at once, no autolyse, I let that sit for 30-45 min, then do a quick folding mix, and depending on when I’m baking I will either let it bulk rise over night, or do some folds over the next two hours and then bulk rise for another few, then shape, let it rest a while and then bake. Both methods usually yields me beautiful bread, although the oven spring varies sometimes. But my bread is always delicious! It may not have amazing honeycomb crumb, but it’s usually even. All that to say, sourdough doesn’t have to be complicated, Ma Ingalls probably didn’t have a scale, and I’m sure she made delicious bread every day for her family, and so do I 😉

[@AlAionaAka]

I second that big thank you from Belgium. I just polled my first two loaves out of the oven after following your steps and using the Hayden Mills Perfect Loaf flour mix. I’ve been struggling with sourdough with varying degrees of success for months now. I can honestly say I am delighted with this mornings result. I was kind of lazy and used my stand mixer to mix the flour and water but you convinced me to get my hands in it. I’m not sure that was the reason for the better bread but it sure helped. Instead of five or six rounds of turning the dough every half hour I did just two and let it rest for an hour after. When I went to pre-shape I could tell immediately this sought was handling differently. I was cautiously optimistic. I let them rest for 20 minutes and finally got a good taught surface on the shaped loaves. In the refrigerator overnight as usual. I used a pizza peel and precut parchment to get the loaf out of the basket and into my combo cooker. I scored the loaf and crossed my fingers. I was very pleasantly surprised to see great ears at the 20 minute point and knew I was onto something much better. I have not tasted the bread yet, still cooling but man this look so much better. So again, thank you, thank you, thank you. Better Baking in Carpinteria!

I started baking 2 months ago im on my 15- 20 th bake ..You explain my experience so far and my destination so well ...You made me feel better about my failings thanks a lot for that ...My 1st 5 bakes well i managed to contract turrets ...I now have a far better relationship with my dough ..We are friends now...My last baguette bake was where many peace's fell in to place ..My next bake will be ... un petit quelque chose de spécial
