successfully made my starter by following your starter recipe. We are baking today! Will definitely share the outcome with you. Me and my kids are super excited to see the starter come out exactly like we have been seeing on the Internet 😃 Just one question, what is a Dutch oven? Are you calling that vessel Dutch oven? Can we use regular baking tin instead?

[@sonshinesunflower]

Thank you so very much Elly! 😊 I remember watching your original video sometime after creating my starter for the very 1st time! I loved your soft spoken video so much, but I was so new to baking bread & even more new to sourdough! After many attempts at various recipes, bread machines, lots of trials & error, age, weight & appreciating the simpler things in life, I am finally ready to make this version of whole grain sourdough bread! I added ground flax meal, whole psyllium husk & sesame seeds, which I love! And thanks to your video, I did it without feeling intimidated! I can’t believe how easy it was to make! THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!! 💛

[@ellyswholegrainsourdough]

Good for you! Thanks for sharing with me, I love it.

[@sonshinesunflower]

@@ellyswholegrainsourdough just wanted to let you know that we just sliced it & ate 1 piece plain, super moist & delicious as is, but WOW after toasting it, putting butter & some pepper jelly I made/canned using assorted peppers from our garden, this blew our minds!!! 🤯 I can’t believe how moist it is! (I forgot to mention I added 2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil, but next time I will try it without any oil!) The variations are endless!!! 😍 Thanks, again! Looking forward to being healthier! Milling my own whole grain flour is next on my radar!!! 😉 Oh & I’m not sure if I ever thanked you for helping me make my starter, Sebastian, 7 years ago! 😊💛

I have always wanted to make sourdough bread but it always intimidated me, especially whole wheat sourdough. I used to make whole wheat bread but stopped several years ago. Your videos gave me the inspiration to start baking bread again and to make sourdough whole wheat bread specifically. You make it look so easy and doable! Thank you so much! By the way, I have a loaf of whole wheat sourdough rising right now. 😊

[@FishbowlMand]

Hi Elly, I want to thank you - I made my first ever loaf of bread recently with my new whole wheat sourdough starter! I made your one-day 50/50 whole wheat/white loaf. Came out pretty good for my first try, but maybe not quite baked long enough as it was slightly "gummy" in texture. Still ate the whole thing in a single evening with loads of butter of course. So much fun! Thanks for the straightforward and un-fussy instructions in your videos. 💜 From Mandy in NY, USA

[@ellyswholegrainsourdough]

Thank you Mandy, I appreciate that very much. Keep having fun with your bread making!

[@cindydale3695]

I’ve learned so much from you. I doubt I’d have ever tried to make my own sourdough if I hadn’t seen you bake without using advanced mathematics and impossible to perfect techniques. You gave me the courage to just develop a starter (Odo) and bake with it. No scales, no measures for the most part. I’ve used the same starter and basic idea to make sweet, enriched doughs, pancakes, challah. Thank you for demystifying the daily loaf.

[@ellyswholegrainsourdough]

Dear Elly, your recipes always work for me. I tried this recipe today (8/11/21), wondering if the higher ambient temperatures in Singapore may complicate things for me. Your advice to watch the dough was sound. My proofing times were shorter. The dough was easy to handle. It is now baking in my oven & there is very good oven spring. I am so grateful to you, Elly. Coffee coming!

[@ellyswholegrainsourdough]

Hi Mei Sin, thank you! Yes I received the coffee, with much gratitude. I'm so glad the videos are helping you. I understand the climate in Singapore, much like our wet and warm summers here. It really does make such a difference to understand what an impact climate can have on the bread fermentation. So glad to hear you're mastering it. Well done :)

Good morning from Athens Greece!!it is the tenth day of extremely high temperatures all over Greece up to 45 degrees Celsius to 30 Celsius during night and we have three major fires, one very close to Athens and many more smaller fires due to prolonged dry weather and high temperatures (and probably arson police said) burning virgin forest areas a major ecological catastrophe. There is evacuation plans going on to the areas and so there is no loss of human life but as I said forests are burned to the ground and hundreds of animals are lost. Let us hope it will end soon but the winds aren't going to help either!! So great video as always and talk to you soon under better circumstances!!

Hii Elly! I've made many Artisan "no kneed" breads but since I recently got my Sourdough starter established a week ago, I'm currently in the process of making my very first Sourdough bread - Yay! It's on its first bulk ferment now and I am so excited about it! I want to thank you for your simple, easy to follow instructions! You make it so practical to bake Sourdough any day of the week - I love it! We should have some fresh Sourdough by early afternoon tomorrow 😋! Thanks again - you're so awesome! From your forever follower in Saskatchewan 🇨🇦

[@ellyswholegrainsourdough]

Wow Tanika, that's awesome!! I'm very excited for you. What a great feeling. Hope it worked out ok :)

[@tanikahutch]

@@ellyswholegrainsourdough Haha well it ended up being a bit of a mess (I still baked it though had to go all the way haha - the flavor was amazing 😅)! I think there was not enough gluten developed and I believed I used too much water for the flours I used (Organic AP, Whole Spelt, Rye) Why did I make it so complicated? 😅 I have no idea.. I was looking to have more protien than what AP has (I can't find Organic Bread Flour anywhere). Anyhow, I tried again last night (with less water and I actually did the stretch and fold method) and baked it this morning. It actually had a rise but still a bit gummy. I'm tempted to add 10-15% of Vital Wheat gluten to it and not change anything? Anyway, I'll be following your steps along the way until I get it right! You're the best..🤎

[@ellyswholegrainsourdough]

Oh gosh! Sounds like an adventure. If you're using AP flour, you will want less water than I use (it absorbs less). Also check you haven't overfermented the dough, that can make it a sticky mess that's hard to shape and get a good oven spring.

[@tanikahutch]

@@ellyswholegrainsourdough made my 4th loaf today and it turned out beautifully!! Now just have to work on getting a little higher oven spring but I am so pleased ☺.. thanks for the encouragement and tips!

[@sandralevey8067]

Thank you for such an easy no-nonsense approach to your videos. I’ve just taken this one from the oven and can’t wait for it to cool enough for cutting as it smells amazing. What would I need to do differently if I used a tin instead of the DO? Temp? Tin size? I do have proper heavy bread tins in various sizes.

[@ellyswholegrainsourdough]

That's great news Sandra, congratulations! For a dough this size I use a fairly small tin. You want the dough to almost fill it up so it bounces up nice and high during baking. I bake at the same temp roughly, you might want to check out this video for a good example of a similar tin loaf kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmjEinxth7BqlZY (skip to the end for the tinning/baking part if you like). Actually I have quite a few tinned loaf videos now, I bake them all roughly the same way.

Thanks for this remake, Elly! I do have ground flaxseed. How much can I add? About the same as the amount of psyllium you used here? If I wanted to add more than that (say 1/4 cp) would I need to adjust the amount of water?

[@ellyswholegrainsourdough]

Thank you, I think up to a 1/4 cup of ground flax would be excellent! The water amount will depend on your flour. Just use roughly the same amount but see how it looks and adjust until you get a similar dough consistency.

G'day Elly, You make baking sourdough look so easy/simple. I was in awe of you when you sliced into that loaf and the crumb turned out perfectly - for me. How would that loaf convert to a Pan/tin?

[@ellyswholegrainsourdough]

Oh I love that comment Mike, thank you. It's even easier to bake this in a tin. Just roll it up into a log shape after you've rounded the dough, and place it into a greased pan. Proof it as normal and bake it! I like to bake my pan loaves in a roaster to keep the steam in. You might like this video which demonstrates a simple pan loaf kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmjEinxth7BqlZY I've got a few pan loaves on my channel now, there might be others there that appeal to you as well!

[@Sabrina1998]

Great video. Quick question… Is there a reason you don’t score it before you bake it?

[@ellyswholegrainsourdough]

Thank you. Great question! Yes, I only score my whole grain sourdough loaves if I know they have the potential for a good oven spring, which is a lot harder to achieve with 100% whole grain naturally fermented bread. This is an easy, well fermented style recipe too, scoring it could make it flatten out even more. This is a good example of a whole grain sourdough loaf you can score (made for it) kzbin.info/www/bejne/j37Nc52Zgptpf5I This video discusses the topic more kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5fZlpqZgKl4oc0

Thanks Elly just order my mockmill from Vanrooy through you. I’m not sure if the wheat i have is hard or soft. I have a feeling it is soft as it acts like spelt flour. Should I amend this recipe?

I know you said psyllium husk. Any other ideas? Autolyse?

[@ellyswholegrainsourdough]

Oh that's wonderful! Thanks for your support via using my link. You may need a little less water for soft wheat, but they do vary so much so experimentation is part of the deal. I wouldn't bother with autolyse unless you have very hard modern wheat. I think just give this recipe (or my other recipes) a try and see how they go. You can try adding less water if you think your flour is more akin to spelt :)

In a hot climate sourdough usually ferments well in 3-4 hours. You can leave it overnight but I would use cold water and keep it inside a cooler with an ice brick.

[@ellyswholegrainsourdough]

It's generally a pretty wet dough, but if it's not holding its shape and is extremely sticky, perhaps it over fermented? If you leave it overnight you have to ensure the temps are pretty cool. This talk/video explains kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5fZlpqZgKl4oc0

Hi Kelly, do you plan to bake it in a tin? I guess you'll need some vessel of some sort. I would bake it a bit shorter perhaps without the DO. Maybe try 30 minutes and see how it looks? You could lover the temp a little bit too, but it's not critical. Generally if the bread is more exposed to the heat, the faster the bake. Just bake it until it's nice and browned looking :)

I made this bread and put it into a cooler with icepacks overnight. Might have been a little too cold, but not as cold as a fridge. In the morning I let it come to room temperature, did some stretch and fold in the meantime, and put it in a loaf pan to rise. It rose a little in the oven and it looked good, but the inside was a little wet. I ate a little of it, but it is too wet. This is my 2nd failed sourdough bread. I am good with Yeast Breads, but this is a totally different thing. Is my starter too young and not strong enough? Would it help to add some yeast in the beginning? Or was it too much water to begin with? Any help would be appreciated! :)

[@ellyswholegrainsourdough]

Hi Ingrid, it just sounds like your flour needs less water than mine. Don't use any yeast if you can help it, because it will only slow down your learning and gaining experience with sourdough. Whole grain sourdough can be challenging at first, but it's worth persisting!

Oat bread is not common becuase oats have very little, virtually no gluten in them, so they don't make a bread that rises easily like a wheat based bread does. Adding some oats into a wheat or spelt bread though works really well! They are lovely in bread in moderate quantities.
