I bake sourdough every week and decided to try your recipe. Very simple and easy to understand. The dough seemed a little wet during the machine kneading so I sprinkled a little more flour in and kneaded about 25 minutes. (I live in Florida, so the atmosphere is quite different) after the 3 hour proofing the dough was still a little sticky but I was able to shape and stitch without any problems. When I took it out of the proofing basket to bake, it was perfect!! And the baked loaf was absolutely beautiful!! (I wish I could post a picture!) Since I use my bread for sandwiches, this less open crumb is perfect for sandwiches!! Thank you for this wonderful recipe!!

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Pleased you liked the recipe David, but you shouldn't need to change the recipe, check out my 3 rules below, especially 2 and 3. 1. Stick to the recipe rigidly, the quantities and ingredients are very important and carefully worked out for successful results. 2. Use digital SCALES for all of the measurements including weighing the WATER, IN GRAMS, NOT FLUID OUNCES, don't convert to cups or measuring jugs, they are too inaccurate. try to use bottled water if possible. Tap water contains chlorine, and in certain areas it is higher than others, which will weaken or even kill the yeast. 3. Use proper bread flour with at least 12% protein, check the ingredients list on the side of the flour bag for the protein level, protein may show in grams per serving but just work it out, it needs to be 12g of protein per 100g of flour. Plain or all purpose flour has a lower protein count and is great for pastries, cakes, and biscuits, but is NOT strong enough for making bread. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@davidwkaminsky8781]

Thank you for the response. When I make bread I am very exacting. I use a digital scale in grams and always use bottled spring water. I measure all ingredients prior to making the recipe. I could have made a mistake and measured something wrong.

[@williamfalconer9247]

Hello John, first of all I want to say that my husband and I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and experience. I am new to sourdough. Today I baked my 5th loaf. It is the first time I have used your recipe and it turned out so well, by far the best! This will be my go-to recipe from now on! Next, I'm going to try my hand with your sourdough dinner rolls. Thank you again for all your wonderful videos!!😊

[@beatrizsandoval4395]

@@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade I do have a few question John, I follow your instructions exactly but I always end up with enough sourdough mixing for 2 loaves. I do one at a time but I put both in the fridge for the next day. They always turn out amazing and one time I even left one an extra day in the fridge because I was running out the door so I didn’t have time to bake both. It was perfect the following day which made me happy. Now my question is, can I use the sourdough starter mix for one loaf as the instructions say and perhaps use the rest to do one with a flour mix? Like for example a little bit of wheat or Rye? I love the all white flour one but I would love to make a different one since I’m making 2 at the same time. I did already watch your other sourdough video where you use wheat flour but on that recipe you make it the same day and unfortunately doesn’t work with my schedule. I prefer the make today bake tomorrow method. I hope I don’t sound complicated 😝

[@eadjh98]

Hiya John, just an update on my first ever sourdough baking! I mentioned that I had to add another 4 heaped dessert spoons of flour to my mix as it was like cake batter! anyway I went through the process of getting into the oven! It had risen quite well , so I turned it over on to my home made table tennis bat, to dust of the excess flour, and all looked pretty good,but after a few seconds it started to collapse so I quickly got into the pre heated large bowl and placed it straight into the hot oven but it continued to collapse slowly and almost looked like a thick pizza base, lol. I had to cook for an extra 15 mins and then turned it over for another 10 mins to cook the bottom! It had a lovely crispy crust, was still a little doughy inside with a light grey sort of colour, but when it cooled my wife and I had a couple of slices each with lashings of butter and it wasn’t too bad! Room for improvement comes to mind! So I’m thinking what went wrong ? Should I have stirred the sourdough starter before using it? All my weights and rises were perfect! I’ve now ordered some Alison’s very strong flour 14 protein, and will try again this weekend! So any ideas John would be very helpful to a better Loaf this Sunday! Kind regards David.👍👍

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Yes its best to stir up the sour dough starter. It sound like the dough overproofed and collapsed due to the air expanding too much and ruining the structure of the dough.

[@eadjh98]

Thanks for that John, I’ll try hopefully this coming weekend and see how it goes! 👍👍

John thanks for the reply, I absolutely love following your channel, and have to admit that while I make a passable sour dough (that is still enjoyable to eat) I need a lot more experience in the dough handling. I get by however the sticking of the dough to the table surface seems to be an experience/folding/handling issue, since the dough looks the same but the final shaping is still less than perfect as compared to yours and the rise not as 'solid'. Been at it for two years now, still happy to continue trying though, and to make many many more loaves however there are only so many I can eat!!

I'm afraid I obtained my starter from another source and have been making their loaf for about 4 years, but now I really want to give this a try.

It was so easy with just the folding and no kneading, I couldn’t resist. Such a soft dough though, and I had planned to bake it in a cloche instead of Dutch oven. It spread a bit when I put it on the cloche so I was thinking I might not have a well shaped loaf…..John, it came out amazing. Too hot to taste right now but wow it looks fantastic. Nice rise. You really are the best with your combo of recipes and clear instructions! Thanks so much again!

That is beautiful bread. The term "sour" comes from the technique of using already fermented flour to start your batch. Your stater is the sourdough in your sourdough bread. It's the same from sourmash whiskey. You are using the ferment from a previous batch.

Just baked off the bread this morning and it turned out quite nicely. As some other commenters have reported, the dough was stickier than it appeared in your video. I didn't add any extra flour to compensate but just went with it. ;)

[@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade]

Fantastic! I'm pleased you gave it a try my friend and it turned out well.

[@superbalaur1297]

That’s because of the flour properties. Flour with a high protein content is less sticky and an absolute pleasure to work with! I have recently used flour with 13.5 protein percentage and it was a revelation! On my regular flour with 12 percent protein I use a maximum of 60 percent hydration.

Hello John. We love this bread at home, so I asked an English lady friend of ours for the recipe. I did everything according to her recipe but unfortunately didn't succeed. Hers turn out beautifully!🤣 However, I'm going to follow your recipe as the result looks absolutely fantastic. Thanks very much for sharing this.

Hi John, I hope you are well! I have tried making sour dough before without success. The recipe was very complicated.

That really looks fantastic. I actually prefer a low hydration sour dough. I usually make it for sandwiches and I'd rather it have some body to it. Still, any sour dough bread, warm from the oven and spread with some butter is a thing of beauty.

The best sour dough I ever had was made into sour dough pop-overs. Hollow muffins of sour dough bread that when broken apart hold gobs of melted butter or sour cream. 6 to a basket and me and my friend polished off four baskets of them together on top of the meal. no neeed for dessert they were so tastey.
