Easy Sourdough For Beginners! VLOG

[@bridgetmcgowan4584]

Jill I made this focaccia this morning. I have made focaccia before. But this is by far the best one I’ve made. I just had myself a pepperoni and Swiss Sammy on it. Thank you I’d send a picture but can’t seem to do it on here. Delicioso!

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Yay I'm so glad you loved the recipe 😋

[@HumbleHillsHomestead]

Did you go to the link in description for the recipe? I click on it and it takes me The Daily Loaf E book. I'm sure it's just operator error but thought maybe you could help since you seem to have located the recipe. Lol Thanks!

[@bridgetmcgowan4584]

@@HumbleHillsHomestead I wrote it down as she made it. The link wasn’t working

[@hummingbirdheightsfarm]

@@HumbleHillsHomestead link worked yesterday, downloaded and has focaccia and basic sourdough recipes, links to ingredients and tools! I am ordering a boule basket and the sharp knife to score!! Thanks to Jill!

[@hummingbirdheightsfarm]

@@WhisperingWillowFarm thanks Jill for the great recipe downloaded, printed out...but the gem was the cool tools to order, getting a boule proofing basket, and the cutting tool to slit the top, so excited to make some pro looking bread for Thanksgiving day!! ❤️ 😍 💖

[@angelakaufman6153]

Cute haircut! Thank you for teaching us all the art of bread making. I took your course and have made SO many things with Otis. 😀 Keep shining your light.

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Thank you for your kind words ❤

[@heatherdonohue9572]

The haircut looks fantastic!

I love your new hair style. Looks great on you.

[@marygrott8095]

I agree. Very pretty!

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Thank you 😊

[@salettamyers8845]

Jill, that was the prettiest & most creative way I have ever watched bread be made! I smiled ear to ear watching you- food made with that much love will heal Anything & Everything💪👊👊Thank you for sharing this with us💙

[@light_and_sound]

Love the new haircut/style! Whenever I try to get this look the stylist always has me looking like Shirley Temple. The waves are flawless.

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

😂 I'm sure it's not as bad as you think. Thank you for the compliment

This video is a work of art! I can smell it. Thanks Jill.

That was so beautiful how you decorated it. Love watching you make your breads. Love your new hair cut.

Focaccia is the bomb! Thank you Jill! I make this often for our crew and it's their favorite!

[@tyrar3843]

Thank You lil Lady for sharing this with us... I am so saving it to my recipes. Also Ya got your hair cut!!! Look fabulous ... you are such a pretty lil lady. Much love, prayers and blessing to you and your family. Gods richest Blessings, Tyra

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

You're welcome and thank you for the kind words. Hope you have a blessed evening

[@MrRKWRIGHT]

Good evening Jill. That looks absolutely delicious - fresh from the oven homemade sourdough bread. Thanks for sharing. What I like most about sourdough bread is that it contains higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants than other breads, as well as lower levels of phytate than what you find in regular bread. Y'all have a wonderful Wednesday.

[@hummingbirdheightsfarm]

That is so interesting, my daughter is finding wheat bothers her but sourdough less so. Is this why?

[@MrRKWRIGHT]

@@hummingbirdheightsfarm It could possibly the reason. That being said, have a wonderful Sunday.

[@pollywalker2586]

Love your new haircut. Great video.

[@TXDHC]

It really is easy once you stop over thinking it. Flour is it's friend when feeding. One tip I got when feeding was, you know it's enough flour when you can hold the starter upside down and nothing pours out. I've also found an oven light is just enough to keep it happy while proofing. This is probably one of my most favorite things to do...bake sourdough!

[@jillc9882]

I LOVE YOUR HAIR! The sour dough looks great also!

Thank you

[@sandrad682]

Thanks so much for the recipe Jill. I actually have some sourdough starter and was sitting here not knowing what to do with it. Your focaccia turned out beautiful and yummy looking. I love your hair, by the way. Thanks for being so generous and sharing the download with us.

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Thank you and you're welcome

[@whisperjoy1128]

I want to start so badly but I'm so nervous to dive in! I've baked other easy breads, and so badly want to nail sour dough. It's a 2023 goal of mine. Until then, I keep re-watching, listening to you and following for ideas until I just take the step of faith into bread baking. This is a gorgeous video, perfect lighting and setting by the way!

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

You can do it! I was intimidated at first as well and now it's second nature

[@tinarn6412]

I absolutely love your videos and your vibe! I feel like I’m watching one of my closest friends! Cute hair cut!

I'd love to hear about your houseplants, I'm just starting with a few so far, since I've killed a bunch of plants in the past, lol my husband jokes with me everytime I bring one in 😆. Love watching your content , you guys are such a sweet family. Have a beautiful blessed week

[@marygrott8095]

I'm still trying to get the hang of making no knead artisan bread! My first attempt , at what was also deemed "a beginner recipe," was an epic fail! I am not yet getting discouraged, and I will try it again. But I think I should get that down first before I even think about trying take sourdough bread! I do want to eventually try it,though.

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

You can do sourdough. It's intimidating at first but you just have to get started

Are you letting it rise on the counter or in the refrigerator?

I.wish you would have cut into it so i could see what the inside of the bread looks like.

[@julieevanger9181]

Your hair looks beautiful-can we get a tutorial?

[@Marissa_Husted]

So you feed your sourdough starter and then how long after you feed your starter do you start to make the focaccia? Does it have to rise a little before you can use your starter to bake?

[@hummingbirdheightsfarm]

Thank you Jill! I have struggled with sourdough bread, and finally found a combo loaf from a neighbor for sourdough starter mixed into a white bread recipe to make sandwich bread with a nice sour taste. It is one bulk rise, form, rise and bake! It does have yeast added so that helps it take off. Great use of extra starter too x hubby lives it for sandwiches! I am planning on doing a video next time I bake it!

[@EssentiallyStormy]

So can I use my discard to make this?

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Yes you can

[@BethJeffreys]

Help. I followed your instructions for sourdough starter and now i am at day 8. I have gotten to the first step of making the bread. It is sitting in a bowl waiting to rise. What do i do with the starter? Do i leave it in jar on counter, do i continue discard and feed? I plan to use naybe weekly. How do i know it is ready? There are bubbles, it has risen, in jar, but then i did a water float test and it sank. Will it keep going left out for a dew days without feeding? Thanks so much

[@pattywickersham4546]

Hey, Jill! I ordered and received an Otis from you earlier this year. My husband had a big health scare, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and we began a long quest to get him well. Otis has been on my desk since then. RMSF is behind us now, and I am ready to open Otis and start using him. Can you direct me to where your instructions are, for rehydrating Otis, please? Also, do you have additional sourdough recipes, utilizing Otis, in a book or downloads? I would really appreciate your help finding all things Otis, on your site, if you see this comment ❤! Thank you for your help!

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

What scale do you recommend?

We have this one and love it but there's lots of good ones amzn.to/3Ega693

[@tinakidwell976]

Do you have a gluten free recipe?

[@tammybenadventures]

Can you use wheat flour?

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Yes you can, it may make the loaf more dense

[@tammybenadventures]

Thank you 😊

[@jennbatman]

I can never get mine out of the pan, no matter how much oil I use. Has anyone ever used parchment with a bunch of oil?

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

I have had similar issues in the past. I have better luck in a cast iron than a casserole dish

[@judygillespie3242]

Sour dough bread is not difficult to make. There are hundreds of videos to teach step by step and you can get recipes at library or book stores.

I do wish you could sell your pottery with your merchandise. Your bowels and cups that you use. I love pottery and our taste is the same. If you design your own, then I'm sure you could work with someone to make them you are so creative you could do the whole process your self!
