Dear Bettie, I think you are a most wonderful teacher. I am 81 years old, never made bread in my life. But in this past year of COVID, with all the time in my hand, I not only learned to make bread but my proudest achievement was to learn to make sourdough starter by watching your starter video and following the instructions closely, and now I can make batch after batch of starter without fail. Your instructions are so clear and precise and so easy to follow! I cant wait to follow your new recipe. Thank you for all your lovely videos and may God bless you.

[@BakerBettie]

Thank you so much for sharing! I love when I can encourage others to start a new hobby and enjoy it. You're very welcome!

I totally agree!!! I too have followed Bettie’s sourdough starter recipe and it’s the best. Using filtered water and unbleached AP flour makes all the difference alongside Bettie’s instructions. Thanks a ton Bettie ❤️

[@RovingPunster]

Great post ! Im a retired engineer, and a hobby ive been self studying cuisines from all over the world. Like you, covid isolation spurred me to return to sourdough to master aspects that had previously eluded me. Some excellent sourdough channels worth exploring are The Bread Code, Proof Bread, and Breadtopia. If you have any national/regional cuisines that interest you, I have some best of the best ones for Chinese cuisine, indian cuisine, etc. Cheers.

[@angkenny9289]

So did you leve it in the bowl to bulk rise for 3 hours then in the pans for 2 and a half im confused . And if j put it jn the fridge do I use a a8r tight container, pans,or just cover with a cloth?

[@santagulapaes485]

Hi Bettie, my name is Rose, I'm Brazilian and I live in the countryside of the state of São Paulo, almost a year ago, I saw this recipe on KZbin and made it, it was very tasty, and today, it's the bread I sell the most in my homemade bakery. I want to thank you for sharing your knowledge. Big hug!

[@BakerBettie]

That's wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@heathermarielavalais3168]

​@@BakerBettieCan you brush an eggwash instead of water on top before baking

[@BakerBettie]

[@roslynmgreen]

Hi Bettie, I really appreciate the detail and clarity of your videos. Thank you very much for your work and for your clear, helpful explanations. All the very best to you in all your endeavours! - Roslyn from Melbourne, Australia

[@BakerBettie]

Thank you so much!

[@TheGrumpyGardener]

Hi from the UK, I named my starter after you because you explained your vids so well. I work at room temp all the time, works for me despite our lousy weather :)

[@BakerBettie]

Aw that is so sweet! I'm so glad the tutorials have helped!

[@vibrown406]

Thank you Bettie… I made a sourdough starter last February and have made several loaves but found your recipe for sandwich loaves and tried it adding Italian herbs and sunflower and pumpkin seeds. It turned out beautiful and yummy. Thank you‼️‼️

[@marianndemaria7523]

I love your videos I’ve learned so much about sourdough bread.

[@rosavand7128]

Awesome as always lovely Bettie.

[@BakerBettie]

Thank you 🙏 I just made this recipe and they look amazing.

[@BakerBettie]

Wonderful!

[@tgackle03]

So delicious! Thanks for the great instructions!

[@BakerBettie]

You're welcome!

[@candicekellyhomes]

Printed your easy to use recipe and am going to try it out for the family. I’ve often thought about how our pioneers would laugh at our overly complicated sourdough recipes. I’ve even made a decent loaf using discard only. Just adding a little salt and enough flour to make a soft dough. Subscribed.

[@sherylnadler1591]

Thank you you are a very good instructor! I can completely understand how you make it my daughter brought her loaf over for Sunday dinner and it was a great success!! I wanted to make it! Thanks so much keep up the great work!

[@paulettedrinkwalter4954]

This is the best recipe!thank you for sharing you’ve made my efforts finally work after mths of failure

[@BakerBettie]

Great to hear!

[@Prompea]

I made this bread and my, oh my! It was delicious!!! Will be making it from now on with your recipe. Thank you for sharing

[@BakerBettie]

you're welcome!

[@christianehayward1994]

Excellent recipe. I used bolted spelt flour, unfiltered sunflower oil, 1/2 of the liquid was buttermilk, and topped with sesame seeds. Perfect loaf.

[@mirandasands74]

I had to come back to tell you how much I loved your recipe!!! I’ve been on the search for a delicious, soft, moist and easy sandwich sourdough bread for months! This will be our every day bread for life!! THANK YOU!!

[@BakerBettie]

You are so welcome!

[@dariuscheesman5454]

Another very easy to understand video. Thanks I will try this week.

[@BakerBettie]

Glad it was helpful!

[@chelsiajackson]

This was so easy to follow and the best sandwich bread I have had in a long time. The directions were clear with explanations to help you understand why the steps were performed. This will be my standard recipe from now on. Thank you Betty!

[@BakerBettie]

Glad it was helpful!

[@daniellepatten6670]

You are an amazing teacher! I just pulled my first sandwich bread loaf out of the oven. Currently waiting for it to cool! I can't wait to slice into it. I really appreciate your insight and easy to understand instructions.

[@BakerBettie]

Wonderful! Thanks so much!

[@ireneadams3437]

I wish I could send you a picture. I made one loaf, and I did the same day (night) bake. It came out so much better than I expected - the dough was so pleasant to work with and it had a nice oven spring. I can’t wait to cut into it tomorrow morning! Thank you for the detailed recipe and tips!

[@BakerBettie]

I’m so happy to hear it turned out well!

[@rosemarmol5712]

I loved this bread thank you. It came out wonderful

[@BakerBettie]

So glad!

[@lynettestrickland1688]

Just started this this morning...so excited! Also, love all your vintage Pyrex😀

[@BakerBettie]

Yay! Thank you!

[@robinmarchment5524]

Have made yeast bread with great results for 40 years and am now dojng sour dough for the first time. These instructions are the most straightforward and realistic. Thank you !

[@markharrisllb]

A lovely light but moist loaf with the right hints of sour. A nice crispy crust on top without any hardness at all. It’s the first loaf in quite a while I've managed without a mixer with my disabilities.

[@zmoorern]

This is terrific. Made it last weekend and sprung so nicely. Taste and texture is exactly what we wanted for sandwiches compared to my normal rustic sourdough loaves. Thanks for sharing this.

[@BakerBettie]

Great to hear!

[@mjudithcassidy2977]

This recipe and method is so great. Been using it steady for about 4 months now - Give it a try

[@BakerBettie]

Great to hear!

[@brshooter1]

Finally made this today. What took me so long. First attempt at sandwich loaf and now I"m kicking myself for waiting. Thank you.

[@beverkrizzyquim6763]

Hi Bettie! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I tried this recipe and method and I think I made it great.

[@johnmcclain3887]

I've been trying to get back to baking, now alone, never got to get a sourdough going long, and have poor success this year, but I've got to say, I've never seen a sour dough loaf rise as high as yours, I am truly impressed. Now I've got to watch your starter video. Thanks for sharing this, I love regular yeast bread, but it doesn't stand up to sourdough done right. I hope to see a couple loaves like that come out of my oven before too long! Thanks again

[@alxarlrmrz]

I'm so happy I found this video! (I thought I'd seen all of your videos.) Going to make this today!!

[@BakerBettie]

Hope you enjoy!

[@arttheclown1163]

Fantastic simple explanations, and a wonderful technique. Great job❤

[@BakerBettie]

Thank you so much!

[@sabasbakeclub]

Looks so good will definitely give it a try 😋

[@jbridgehall4]

I baked my loaf today with half whole-wheat flour and the extra water you suggested. It’s in the oven now and looks fantastic! Thank you so much for all the great videos.

[@sararibeiro1528]

Hi Bettie, your are amazing! Tried to follow many other sourdough recipes but yours are so good and very self explanatory. Every time I follow your recipes, they come out perfect. My family loves this sliced sourdough bread and I find myself making it every other day. Super delicious! Thank you and I look forward to seeing more recipes from you.

[@williamkreth]

I love this bread thanks for sharing

[@br4653]

You are such a good teacher!

[@BakerBettie]

[@monicaguerrero2071]

Wow made this yesterday and totally worth the wait!

[@BakerBettie]

Great to hear!

[@debbiekaradeema9668]

I saw a post on an SD site on FB of someone who made one of your loaves. I was impressed. Someone else asked her where she got the recipe. Thats how I found you. My SD loaves have been looking pretty pathetic. I looked you up and wrote down your recipe for this fabulous bread. Friday morning I pulled my starter out of the fridge (its 7 years old now), fed it yesterday and this morning. Waited about 6 hours to use. I just made the mixture up and its sitting for 30 mins. Will make one loaf and another on Thursday, my off day. Thank you!!!!

[@garrettpeters3438]

Thank you for this recipe. It looks fantastic. I will definitely give this a try. 🍞😋😊

[@BakerBettie]

Please do!

[@tonybirdwell2917]

I need to try this very soon.Thanks!

[@BakerBettie]

Let me know if you do and how it goes!

[@leylaarik5067]

Great video! I love your vintage Pyrex mixing bowls!

[@BakerBettie]

The best!

[@MorninTripper]

Love the bake time flexibility of this bread, and (of course) that it uses sourdough starter in place of store-bought yeast. Gonna give it a try, probably this week.

[@BakerBettie]

Let me know if you do make it and how it turns out!

[@MorninTripper]

@@BakerBettie All I can say is... it don't get much better than this! Made the bread yesterday, following your ingredients list exactly and the loaves were the absolute very best sourdough sandwich loaves I've made to date! A few added details... For this recipe I used a (strait) KA Bread Flour sourdough starter and the same flour for the dough. Slight modification to your preparation process was that I performed coil folds instead of stretch & folds for the last two folds... doubt it makes a difference to the end result... just the way I prefer to do it. Room temp in my home is a consistent 79-80F so let dough rest 25 minutes between folding. Bulk fermenting and final proofing took less time, as you cautioned. The dough's overall performance throughout the entire pre-bake process was excellent and the oven spring was terrific following your oven prep instructions. I let my dough retard in the fridge for about 36 hours before bulk fermenting and then shaping, to give a bit more flavor than same day baking. End result... Two beautiful loaves of sourdough sandwich bread. The crust was predictably not as tender as yeast bread but with less crunch than the typical artisan sourdough loafs I bake here at home. The crumb was just right, considering this is a sourdough sandwich bread, and the "chew" and flavor was most satisfying.

[@jimshirey2293]

OMG .. thank you so much! I've finally been able to make a sourdough sandwich bread that my husband likes! Success! Made 1 loaf because I'm sick of wasting flour only to find out that he doesn't like it...wish I would have made the full recipe. Your instructions were perfect and easy to understand and follow along.🥰

[@candicekellyhomes]

I made this and it turned out great! Love the way you can vary the timing to fit your day! So many times a regular sourdough is so demanding I have to put it off. Love the tips here.

[@BakerBettie]

Fantastic!

[@candicekellyhomes]

I messed up one morning and had 300 g on the brain when making the starter for the days bake and made up my starter with the addition of 300g water and 300 g flour. 600g starter! Not a big one for waste I just cut the water and flour down by 150g each in the recipe. It turned out the best so far! Rises seemed to be a little faster too!

[@ryanelizabeth9873]

Most helpful bread making video I have seen. I have watched a ton of them. Yours was excellent. Thank you!

[@BakerBettie]

You are so welcome!

[@emily_3]

Took the words out of my mouth. Best video!

[@anastasias.3289]

Bettie, you are a genius. I have tried your no-knead sourdough recipe and now this one, and every loaf has been amazing. I get so much joy when I cut into my loaves and they actually look like yours!!! Thank you! ❤️

Bettie, I’m new to making sourdough and have been looking for a good sourdough loaf recipe. I’ve tried 2-3 and almost gave up until trying yours! It’s excellent! Great job, thank you for the step by step instructions.

[@sallywall4385]

You have turned me into a Sourdough baker. I bake for family and friends. You have the best instructions and I have learned so much from you. I am now making the Sandwich bread now, so I am just watching this again before I bake. Made it yesterday and it looks wonderful today. Thanks sooooo much!

[@BakerBettie]

You are so welcome! I'm so glad you are enjoying baking bread!

[@wilmasantiago239]

I am newbie on making sourdough bread and i made it right. Now i want to try making them into loaves. Thanks a massive sharing your talent.

[@BakerBettie]

Wonderful!

[@davetighe]

Been trying out various sourdough recipes over lockdown (2 years) and was just about to give it all up and chuck my 2 year old starter away when I found this little beauty. Made a couple of 1lb loaves then a single 2lb loaf and they were all fabulous. My sourdough starter will now live on to make many more, thank you. 👍👍

[@BakerBettie]

That is awesome!

[@lim2068]

Hi Baker Bettie. Thank you so much for your instructions!. I tried it and it was successful!. This is after discarding more than 10kgs of bread flour!

[@pamelamulhearn8184]

Dear Bettie, I love your videos and the way you presentI them. I am new to the sourdough world now for about 6 weeks. I have made about 12 loaves of the artisan style bread so far trying to get a loaf that I feel turns out the way it should. Each loaf I've made has gotten progressively better than the one before. Today I decided to try your Sandwich sourdough recipe. I made one loaf. I followed your instructions and rewatched and rewatched the steps and took note of the visuals to compare the condition of my dough to yours in the video, Like you said in the video, all kitchens and bakers are different and that is so true. Because my dough didn't pull together as quickly as yours, I gave it a few more rounds of stretches and pulls. I thought it was going to be a failure but it is far from it. The bread turned out wonderful and is one of THE BEST LOAVES OF BREAD THAT I"VE MADE YET! I also loved that it was all done in one day! FABULOUS! Thanks for your clear instructions showing the process and good photos of the dough and starter all along the way.

[@mssavedin92]

WOW!! It's in the oven right now and it sure rose up nice and high. This is so awesome. My husband has been taking his sandwhichs for months, using my round loaves of sourdough...and asked me before if i could make that bread in a bread pan..I didnt do it because I have always made mine in a dutch oven and my 2 lb bread pans wouldnt fit inside...hahaha. Anyhow, I bought two 1 lb USA loaf pans like yours today....Great pans. Thankyou for ALL of this. one minute left and then I have to remove the water pan. Can hardly wait to try this bread...later. Cheers

[@sherrydubois7856]

Hi I made this bread and it turned out wonderful!! It made the best grilled cheese sandwiches ever!! Thank you so much. You are a great teacher!! This sure is your calling😍

[@BakerBettie]

Yum, grilled cheese sounds delicious! Thanks so much!

[@p.k.daughtry8337]

I have baked this bread, and it is absolutely delicious.

[@stephiedaniel58]

I just wanted to know the difference of baking as a sourdough sandwich and sourdough bread without the pan difference in case of taste and health benefits

[@pamgibbons375]

Thank you for this formula and your very good video also. It’s cooling on the rack for tonight’s supper with some homemade chicken soup. Happy fall to you and yours ...

[@BakerBettie]

Enjoy!

[@randyjones3797]

Betty want to thank you for this sourdough bread recipe I've made it without fail about five times now. Just made some this evening and again turned out perfectly.

[@BakerBettie]

Wonderful!

[@eternalfizzer]

I love your method. Thank you very much for thoroughly covering all the steps. I'm thinking of trying this as a pumpernickel. It's there anything to watch out for when adding cocoa, molasses, etc?

[@kathyjohnson2329]

Enjoyed your demonstration and can't wait to try iy. Just have to change measuring units.

[@BakerBettie]

Glad you enjoyed it! You can get a digital scale for around $12 and it will be so much easier and more accurate for your baking. Especially sourdough baking.
