Greatly detailed video. Really appreciate the hard work you put in to teach us. Please make more videos on scoring the sourdough. Also, it’ll be great if you display the name of various equipments you use, as you speak their names because we are unfamiliar with most of them. I am very new to baking and recently learnt to make focaccia. Can you make more videos on different types of sourdough and focaccia breads, please?

You have explained bread with sourdough starter so well.Recently I have switched on to sourdough bread.I would like to bake my first bread with my newly made starter.Shall I feed my starter soon after scooping out for my bread.I am suppose to keep it in the fridge or out side for rise.

[@parthbajaj]

Hey! That’s great! Thanks :) You have to keep it outside only

[@neelamsharma2117]

Thanks for answering my query.I have a question.After feeding my starter,it will remain out side as you said when should I keep it back in the fridge? I too stay in Delhi.

Hey such an amazing detailed video... too many steps tough.. had a question can it be done in regular oven OTG..

[@geetharamani7175]

Very well explained.Will try to bake

[@vinutharao9801]

Very well explained parth. Easy to understand. I've to wait for 3 days more for the starter to be ready. Since I don't have Dutch oven I'll be baking on the tray itself. Do I need to cover the dough? If yes how on tray?

[@parthbajaj]

Hellooo! Yess! Don’t start until the starter is ready :) Yes if you cover the dough with any oven safe, big enough container that will be great! Make sure to preheat that container and the baking tray for 1 hour at 250 Degrees C. Then flip the dough on your tray and spray some water on the dough, cover the dough with the container and bake for 20 minutes. Then remove the container, again spray with water, bake for another 20 minutes at 225 C. Hope this helps :)

Hi parth, the starter that you’re using here is been fermented from last 1 year?

[@jayshaligram4474]

Hi parth!! Thanks for this amazing video.. as a chef I learned how to make sourdough bread when I was working in abudhabi. And there we had access to Manitoba flour which was the perfect protein content for sourdough. But here in india I am getting confused as to which flour I can use to make sourdough. Is the normal store bought maida good enough for it? Or should I go for t55 flour as you mentioned in your previous video?

[@parthbajaj]

Hey!! Best to use in India is T65 flour

Druv bro's Suggestion 🔥

[@urjoon]

Hi. Thank you for your sourdough bread on KZbin. I have tried several sourdough recipes, mostly from people in the US and Europe. But your video set in India worked best for me. I got a dough that behaves closest to what it is supposed to - holding its shape, not sticking to the fingers etc. But I have a problem. I use a Convection oven with a max temperature of 200 degrees C. Is there something I could adjust? I baked in a covered deep braiser at 200 degrees C for 70mins and uncovered for 20 mins. I get a good crust but the inside remains underbaked. I am using multigrain atta. Would be grateful if you offer some words of advice. Thank you.

[@nileshjuneja7856]

Hello Parth .., I have tried to make this step by step with with precise measurements, and I used available bread flours,, But somehow the Dough is NOT able to maintain its strength especially after adding the levain... I used around 150gms as mentioned in the ingredients.. it stays very sticky.. and just falls apart.. I am NOT even able to do the slap and fold technique.. Just today I tried with a T 65 bread flour but was a disaster.. do I need to add in less of the Levain .. I live in Mumbai... Please if you could guide me...

What the options if that basket and Dutch oven not available. Could you help me out before I go for sourdough breads

[@parthbajaj]

Heyy! You can use any type of other circular basket or even a Kadhai , just cover it with a cloth and dust the cloth with rice flour before putting the bread dough on it. Instead of Dutch oven you can go for the regular baking tray and place the bread directly on it for baking but In that case cover the bread with an oven safe lid.

hi. should i increase the amount of water if i’m baking with bread flour? i’m using t55 flour. also, can i make starter with same flour?

[@parthbajaj]

Hey no! You can use the same amount of water for bread flour, as both of them are refined white flours. If you use whole wheat then you need more water

[@drdeepthihv]

thank you for clarifying that. i thought maida is more refined than bread flour. what about makimg starter with bread flour? i can do that right?

Heyyy yes! You can keep the starter for even 100 years or more, as long as you keep feeding it. If you go out of station or something keep it in the fridge to slow down the yeast activity but even in that case you have to feed it in 7-8 days max
