I'm addicted to this channel.. The amount of wisdom and time she takes to put this information together for us viewers is absolutely amazing.. I'm 30 and taking notes she just explains things in a way you don't always see on youtube.. Not to mention she doesn't even have to share any of this knowledge with us yet she does and takes time out of her day to do so.. I have nothing but RESPECT.. 😃 And it encourages people like myself to pay it forward and share knowledge to others..

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Thank you so much, Tray. We especially love your willingness to pay it forward!

[@helensarkisian7491]

I’m so glad that I found your channel. I’ve been binge watching the videos. I’ve never heard bread crackle before. I swear I can smell it. I’m totally going to stop at the store tomorrow on my way home from work and get some fresh ingredients for my own bread.

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Yes, "Snap, Crackle, and Pop." We were amazed when we heard the bread the first time. We are so used to it by now, we do not pay that much attention to it. But once in a while, we taken by it and just stop and listen. It sounds so cool.

[@glendal3350]

For the past few weeks have been making bread. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and I’ll make bread this morning! Make a mess last time and was a bit discouraged ! It was a pleasure to listen to you! Thank you!😊

[@RoseRedHomestead]

It can certainly be discouraging at times, but I love your attitude and grit for going forward!

[@wendyellis6402]

This is so intriguing. I likely wouldn’t take the time, but it was fascinating to watch you perform the art, Pam. Thank you! 😊

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Wendy: We have several videos on bread baking. Jim

[@pjrobertson6611]

You are absolutely the best teacher! Explaining the process as well as the “why” is so appreciated. You and your videos have been such a blessing these days. I too binge watch from time to time, many of them several times! Thanks so much for the huge contribution you and Jim are making to our community. You are such an inspiration!

I am excited for you! That is wonderful!

[@sandracausey7026]

I just wanted to say thank you so much for your detailed explanation in making artisan bread with wild yeast. Over the years I have watched many different videos. Yours by far is the best! I purchased the tubs and proofing baskets that you suggested. I have my sourdough lavain ready! I’m excited to start mixing my dough later today! I also bought Ken Forkish’s book. I’ve baked other sourdough breads using the potato flake starters for years in traditional loaf pans. I’m very excited to begin artisan bread! Your videos are extremely helpful! I would love to purchase your book, if it’s published.

[@RoseRedHomestead]

You can go to our Home page and click on Books and Pam has two on bread baking. One is free and the other is $9.95. Pam has a number of videos on bread baking, some using Forkish and others as references. Jim

[@eyes2see438]

I just got done baking two loafs of sourdough bread. 🍞it is 11:49 pm on December 28, 2021. I will be sending 1 to my brother in New Mexico. I cheated a little, I added a bit of yeast tonight. I also scored the tops of each loaf. Your video just appeared when I opened up YT. I will have to find your recipe for your labon! Thank you for keeping me company.🌹

[@gemmoejames-yy3zo]

I love your long videos

[@sallywright2217]

I try to watch this when I get out my sourdough starter, I just fed it this morning. I purchased a 1pound block of active dry yeast from our local Amish store and having fun making fresh bread every week. Thank you so much for these videos.

[@verniemax]

You are such a delight to watch! I so LOVED this video and the art of making this artesian bread from wild yeast. It was a joy to watch & see the way it is done and did enjoy how you took us step by step and also the tools you used. I especially love the proofing basket because it made me imagine how they might have use these type of bowls back in the day. Your labor was well worth it I'm sure because the final look of the bread was amazing!! Thanks for doing this video I surely didn't mind the length of it, truly was worth it!! Take care and God Bless you!!! ❤️✝️✝️✝️❤️

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Thank you so much. It was a fun project.

[@jamesj.austin3686]

My taste buds have changed again. I now love rye bread. What a great way to start making it. Thanks for the awesome video

[@cyn4rest]

Quite a process but so worth it. It takes longer to explain it than it does to do it. Nothing beats the smell of fresh baked bread. TFS.

[@suzannec8775]

Well I learned something new today. I have been baking bread for 50 years and was always taught to never let the yeast come into direct contact with the salt. I was told it would kill the yeast. I sat here watching you sprinkle the yeast on top of the salt and thought, "THAT just killed the yeast." It was a surprise to see that I had been told wrong all these years. Thank you!

[@RoseRedHomestead]

There are big arguments about that issue, but I have never had a problem with mixing them when I do it dry as in this video.

[@rld1278]

I heard it was if you used iodized salt because that would kill the yeast. Iodine kills bacteria etc around wounds. Also heard to not use that type of salt in bread making.

[@bonnielee3608]

My daughter and I are so excited to try canning, both water bath and pressure canning as well as you do ahead meals! Thank you so much for all you do for us!

[@RoseRedHomestead]

I hear you! There are some things I want to try at least once just to know I can do it, and this was one. Our favorite artisan bread has turned out to be the poolish, so I don't use the levin much any more.

[@SandraMalone-pq4mn]

Just took out my first two loaves of sour dough bread.... they are beautiful!! The only 2 things I did differently was I placed the loaves into the cast iron dutch oven using parchment paper. So easy to remove after baking, and the bottoms of the loaves are golden brown. I also put a small pan of water on the bottom oven rack while baking the bread. Thank you, Pam and Jim, for giving me the confidence to attempt this sourdough journey!

[@mallon201]

Using a pan of hot water in the oven with the baking bread is the alternative you would use when not using a Dutch oven, with a Dutch oven the steam is contained within the cast iron container with the lid on, some people also include an ice cube before putting on the lid for extra steam. If using a Dutch oven there is no need for a pan of water as it will have no effect on the baking loaf.

It's true what they say, once you've mastered the art of bread making you'll never go hungry, neither will your family. It's also a great skill to pass onto the next generation, a really great gift. Good luck. There are plenty of good recipes for this bread type on KZbin.

Can you please maybe do a video on what you can do with the discard? It seems like an awful lot of waste. I've made sourdough off and on for years (to have that skill for "just in case" times, like the great yeast shortage of 2020 and 2021!), and one thing I did was find ways to use the discard because, like my gramma always said, it's a sin to waste food. Could you make pancakes? Waffles? Other breads?

I have a little interesting story from the Great Depression! My mother was just a girl when a neighbor lady came rushing into a grandma's kitchen asking Grandma if she had any STARTER, that her own starter had died! She needed to make her daily bread!

@@RoseRedHomestead That will be Wonderful!

[@mallon201]

Excellent presentation, well done both of you, your teacher side still shines through, to the advantage of all viewers. May I offer a couple of helpful tips, to avoid the bread sticking to the bottom of the Dutch oven, just sprinkle about a teaspoonful of coarse/medium semolina grains evenly across the bottom of the Dutch oven before you insert the bread dough to be baked. Also people might want to sprinkle a light dusting of rice flour into the proving baskets (bannetons) before inserting the dough, as the dough may stick to the baskets and would be near impossible to release from the basket without ruining the shape of the final bread dough when you are transferring it to the Dutch oven. For the final dough mix if you replace the wheat flour with the same amount of a mix of white rye and spelt flours, it gives a really nice flavour to the bread, there are so many different flour combinations you could use. It was interesting to see that you didn't do a preshaping of the dough before a final shaping, didn't seem to make any difference to the outcome, well done, must try this. Here in Ireland we are told this is the bread our grandmothers grandmother always made, i.e. in the days before manufactured yeast was available. Also the crackling, popping noise you hear when the bread is removed was always referred to as the bread singing after it was baked. We would always have scored the top of the loaf pre-baking in the shape of a cross to release the 'devil' and bless the loaf, bakers would now tell you it's done to allow a more even crust and a more professional look to the finished loaf, I don't think it matters too much, your loaves looked really good. All the best for the future.

Hi Rose, great video. I have 2 questions. 1st, on the starter you pulled out, you took about 2/3rds for your needs, but I don't think you said what you do with the left over 1/3rd. Do you just toss it or put it back in the freezer? 2nd, how long does the artisan bread last? I wonder if the hard crust keeps it fresh for a while, but then once you cut into it you have only so long to use (a few days)? Great content, love your videos!

RoseRed, Thank you for this video. Several questions. Where did you get your original levin? Where can I purchase the gloves and what brand are they. Most of those type of gloves are made for men and are way too big for my hands. What size are your Dutch Ovens and who makes them? Also, your bannetons....what size are they. One point here you might try grinding some rice for flour to flour you bannetons with as they come away clean from the rice flour and it makes a great marking on the bread. How do you clean your bannetons? What is the name of your grinder that you use for grain? A lot of questions, isn't it! I am a retired second grade teacher. You are making excellent videos. Thanks.

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Eileen--I just watched this video again to see what I might have said about gloves--were you asking about my oven mitts? I got those on Amazon and I just checked and they are no longer available. Sorry. I have large hands like a man's, so I don't have to worry about finding a small size.

[@danbev8542]

Another home baker here…almost any large-ish Dutch oven will work fine. Plain cast iron, to Le Creuset - I have a couple of knockoffs. Lodge is fine & probably the most affordable. Cleaning the baskets: I use a stiff vegetable brush to get the excess flour off. I wash mine after several uses when I think they need it. I prefer smaller loaves of bread, so I look for smaller baskets - I actually use various ceramic deep bowls as well with good results. I don’t get the lovely ring pattern, but I’m happy with my breads. They make a woven fabric oven glove that is supposed to go in the oven - I like them for manipulating the loaves on pizza stones. I would add a good hot pad for lifting a hot Dutch oven. Hope this helps!

[@joycedecker6880]

Pam, another thought...do you see a problem with adding the water to the levain, mix thoroughly, then add the flour?

[@BostonBorn]

When you make your levain, what type of wheat berry do you mill? Also, do you have any concerns about the chlorine in tap water? My thought process is that would hinder yeast production since it’s in there to kill bacteria. One tip: turn the dough out onto a piece of parchment, slice a design if desired, then you have handles to lift the dough and drop into the dutch oven. I’ve seen it done that way on the KZbin channel Farmhouse on Boone.

I use hard red winter wheat. I have no concerns about tap water and it does not seem to impede the work of the yeast at all.

@@RoseRedHomestead Do you know what the difference is between hard red winter and hard red spring wheat?

[@danbev8542]

Chlorine can indeed kill a levain! Obviously Pam’s water is fine, since she has good results. I have a friend in a big city with very chlorinated tap water, which kills her starter. I live in an agricultural area and have well water. Commercial yeast and wild yeast starter don’t like my tap water. I use a Burkey filter (Brita works fine too). The filtered water makes a huge difference to my yeast. Types of wheat…I love ancient wheats. I’ve used Red Fife, but no longer have a source. I now use Spelt, Kamut, and Einkorn. They are all older wheat varieties- they have slightly different gluten (some gluten-sensitive people can eat these). Better flavor, IMO. Check out Pleasant Hill Grains for grains & mills.

Can someone please share Ken’s last name and the name of his book. I’ve looked everywhere through these videos and cannot find it. Thanks

[@habitationsst-lin-laurenti7878]

Can this bread be frozen? We are only 2 and these breads seems very big unless we can make smaller size and freeze some. Love your videos 😍💗

[@RoseRedHomestead]

We have about 8 loaves of this bread in our freezer right now and it does fantastic!

[@annelefevre9457]

If you took it out about 5-10 minutes sooner, so the bread wouldn’t be so browned, would that be okay and would the bread be done inside? Just a little to brown on the bottom.

[@RoseRedHomestead]

That is the way the recipe says it is supposed to look. However, we don't like it either, so I do take it our earlier and we like it much better. Thanks.

[@dardar1434]

Is your water filtered? Is chlorinated water okay to use?

[@wayne2091]

I like your proofing bowl method but I will stick with baking on pizza stone and a cup of ice cubes thrown in the when placing bread in oven and again half way thru backing to get crusty bread.

I'm also following Ken, btw he just posted a new levain recipe on twitter, which involves less flour. But I get my bread so sour. Any suggestion pls?

[@RoseRedHomestead]

You can always adjust the "sourness" by adjusting the time you allow the bread to ferment and by keeping your start fresh and fed often. Thanks for watching.

[@于子涵-v2q]

@@RoseRedHomestead Thanks for the reply! I'll try again! Can't wait to try all the recipes one by one!

[@sandyewald2933]

Can you spell Ken’s last name so I can find him? Do you know the name of his book! Is he on FB?

The bread looks and sounds so good!!!! What size dutch ovens are used? Thanks!

[@RoseRedHomestead]

They are 12" and just the perfect size. Thanks for watching.

[@lindabolton6898]

Can you please do a video on how to make gluten-free bread?

[@nathanrogers433]

Is there water in those Dutch ovens?
