Gochujang Sourdough from Start to Finish | Proof Bread

Base sourdough can transform into a wildly new type of bread with just some simple modifications to the formula and process. Our gochujang sourdough is the perfect example of how much flavor can come from a little creativity.

And here I was thinking how much this abject was already milked. But no! There is an even longer version. :)

[@Caffeine.And.Carvings]

No sponsor upfront or in the end, no begging for subs or likes or what not. Not even a real introduction, he starts midsentence and ends it like that. Just pure, hard knowlegde. A rare thing of beauty.

[@NoScss]

Its like going to class when you Watch lol. When i finally comitted and looked at the first vid i stuck around for several hours. This fine man changed my game entirely. From being quite sad saying i was self taught for almost 2 years, to proudly say ive been baking for long over 2 years now. The bread wasnt horrible before but i want them to be perfect or atleast know why it isnt. This guys way of talking about what he thinks but leaves options, and say what is essential and giving refrences to look for is amazing. Proves he knows his shit around a bakery in his sleep. He might have experience in teaching or just a talent this master has.

[@especiallyabsent]

It's also why such an informative channel only has 185k subs. I get annoyed by the game too but it does work and at the end of the day it would get this knowledge to more people which to me is worth a cringe intro and an ad break now and again.

[@Caffeine.And.Carvings]

@especiallyabsent I thought so too, but all the cooking channels I used to follow with good knowledge, have since went downhill, sponsor add and cringe ridden. At least here it seems like the Bakery is paying the bills, and KZbin Is just building the brand. If you want to find sourdough content, one will eventually end up here anyways :)

[@frankiesharp8320]

Old school youtube vibes tbh

[@vittoriabakes]

This sounds so delicious so I decided to do the math on it, for myself and anyone who might be interested in making a loaf at home. If you're familiar with baker's percentages, you can scale to any size loaf you want. (The ingredient amounts here assume that your starter is at 100% hydration, and calculates 100% of the flour as the added flour + the flour in the starter. Same with the water amounts. [Total flour = 419g, Total water = 274g] Cheers :) 378g flour 233g water (65%) 82g starter (20%) 69g gochujang (16%) 34g roasted garlic, whole cloves (8%) 19g green onions, chopped (4.5%) 4.2g salt (1%) - He didn't say how much salt in the video, but gochujang is salty so I'd start with 1%. Or omit the added salt completely. Check your label.

[@ajitaw]

Yes! I was about to do the same but scrolled down... and bingo!

[@vittoriabakes]

@@ajitaw Well glad I could help ☺️

[@graceatbaker]

Thank you! A grilled cheese, or even maybe a melted glutinous rice cake and grilled meat/veg sammy would be amazing! I would actually lower the salt to 1%, since gochujang is a salted and fermented product, and adjust up/down from there. I have some home made gochujang my mom made a couple years ago with pepper flakes grown/dried/ground by some friends of my dad that live on an island in Korea. Another thing to consider would be that there should be live enzymes in gochujang, so doigh development/fermentation should be watched carefully as it may go faster with the added enzymes/microbes. I’m excited!!!

[@vittoriabakes]

@@graceatbaker That sounds delicious. I was actually thinking the same about lowering the salt. Good call. I lower the salt for my pickle rye loaves as well, due to the pickle juice being really salty. First time I made it with my regular 2% it was way too salty! 😣 I've edited my original comment to mention using 1% instead, thanks 😊

[@jenellerosecrance8618]

Have you tried this? It looks so good but I am definitely intimidated.

[@jeffreyp1855]

I worked at a small Bakery in Kent Washington and the owner, my boss, had an awesome bread recipe that was shaped into a pugliese loaf. We would boil potatoes and quarter them after they cooled, add fresh minced rosemary and imported Italian olive oil in a nice simple bread dough. The trick is, the bread dough needs to be pretty much finished mixing as you want small chunks of potatoes in the dough, so you are just incorporating the ingredients into a finished bread dough. A few slices of this bread was like having a meal! The cool thing about this little bakery that I worked at is, the starter was around 80 years old and I made some of the best artisan bread that I've ever tasted from that starter.

[@JasonEkonomakos]

I didn't search for this, I wasn't looking for cooking channels, and none of my search history has to do with baking bread, but I'm not complaining that I'm here

[@GEinhoH]

I’m a Korean and my hobby is baking. I’ve never seen and imagined using Gochujang for baking! The red colour inside is fascinating and looks so yum. This is such an amazing receipe I should try for my next homemade bread. Thanks for your creative video👍

[@artgamesforfun]

i felt like i spent a day learning from a master baker, thank you for an awesome tour! Super inspiring.

[@marcuspi999]

He said the dough will let him know if he's being greedy with the folding. Yep, he says. So walk away and listen to the dough. That's truly art!

[@YllaStar95970]

Making a bread with inclusions, is very much an added labour of love, however the over run, which in turn can become croutons adds a further dimension, reaching a new customer, extending the shelf life, and introducing an opportunity to increase added value, whilst all the while striving to incur less waste. You could well have a vice versa effect, with crouton sale, over loaf, and so this may in fact hold some of the ingredient decisions made. I read with interest other bakers, from Korea have never thought of this recipe, they may also have never thought of croutons either. An opportunity to sell twice, but only manufacturer once, is very sound business sense. I think that is a really neat idea, and admire all your hard work, you kindly share with us.

[@ZewaRolle1789]

Something that you realy should try, if you didn't already done that. A Bread that is slightly darker than your Sourdough Bread with a strong crust, onions, bacon and a little bit of black pepper in the dough, on top of the crust some salt. I bought a bread like this here in germany once. But was sadly not able to find it again. Maybe the dream can life on with you in the States and i can atleast eat it with my eyes in one of your videos. Also as a german i have to say, the kind of accuracy in your work, love for details, passion and seeking for a high quality product is absolutely satisfying to watch.

[@Kim2jin613]

Wow I didn't expect to see Gochujang and sourdough in one sentence!!!! I really want to taste it🤤 How creative!!

[@chojinkhan7935]

Garlic and green onions is the common combinations we Koreans use with gochujang :) But I'm sure he was talking about Sourdough bread specifically.

[@willmitchell8500]

yeah i read that and definitely raised an eyebrow.

[@kuzadupa185]

Have you ever used that combo with making a bread???

Hello there, I've been in bread-making program in Montreal for less than three months and I come to love bread-making so much. Since I found your channel, I've been learning a lot about breads and bread-making. By the way, I'm Korean and I've never imagined that I could use Gochujang for Sourdough bread. :)

[@choux8372]

[@PhilAlbu]

💯💯💯 Always amazing content! Thank you so much for sharing your passion! :D

[@annjulievester8005]

This variation of sourdough was delightful. I did not really follow the base recipe, but threw in the gochujang, garlic and spring onions with the Tartine recipe I had already going - on a whim. Turned out beautifully marbled, sticky and airy! The taste is not overwhelming and makes for an extra savory twist.

Really appreciate your descriptions of each step of the process. It's amazingly helpful. I also recently bought gochujang for the first time - had no idea you could add it to bread dough. This will be a fun experiment!

[@skinwalker_]

Great video, would love to taste it. I’m going to have to try and make it.

[@Archieconan]

I love your channel! In this video you mentioned it’s not common to combine or associate gochujang with green onion or garlic, but you couldn’t be more wrong on that one… I have been living in South Korea for 21 years and every time there is gochujang, there is always green onion or garlic nearby 😉 They’re almost always together! Regardless, keep up the great work 🥖

[@chrisblanc663]

Yeah, not sure what he meant by that because those taste profiles are very common together. Im super excited by the idea of adding gokuchan to my sourdough!!

[@Fuzzi974]

And we have the final result at the end ! Guess I can't complain this time. This is so great !

@@ProofBread Thanks Jon. The young ladies at the Mesa Farmer's market cut me a decent deal. $7 for the first loaf, and since it was 11:30, later, they said the remaining loaves were 2 for 10. And the second loaf was only $3. (I got the second loaf, about 20 minutes later.) Oh, would you part with some "Harriet?" I wouldn't mind trying my hand at making some, and from what I can taste, your starter has the flavor I like. You'll see me again. steve

[@rosscurrant8940]

Love the concept and as a baker of 30+ years I get excited by this stuff. Personally from experience with inclusion doughs, I think it’s best to slightly under mix because of all the extra work on the dough getting the ingredients evenly dispersed. Keep up the great work 👍

Recently King Arthur presented the home approximation of Anadama bread from Night Moves bakery in Maine. Their menu is full of astonishingly creative explorations of ingredients! They do not ship and recommend finding a bakery such as yours with local ingredients to keep a smaller carbon footprint. I commented to KA that Proof Bread is another example of that creativity! Best luck on your new build!

[@ProofBread]

For as large of a brand King Arthur is, they still make a really important impact from their position in our industry. They are involved in grain research, have some excellent bakers on staff, and do a lot in education.

I love that you call your starter "Harriet." When my mom used to make sourdough from a heritage starter we called it "Herman." 😆💖

[@LenovoA-ck4uq]

Hermann was the name of a dough in Germany (2n because it's German) that you feed and feed and it gives you bread forever...Like Kefir in a way that lives forever. Never saw that again though.

[@LadyJGeek]

@@LenovoA-ck4uq Wow, I guess that explains it. The lady who gave us the starter definitely had German ancestors. She gave us the starter when she was in her 80's and I think it went back at least to her mother and possibly grandmother.

[@alvinmonteza6133]

The condensed video version is fine with me:). Just the right amount of time to keep me fixed and appreciate the labor and science behind a special bread. I may not be able to taste it or have the opportunity to buy it, because by choice I quit bread and I live in a different state, but I do make bread for my family and the process of turning a mixture into something edible is very therapeutic and satisfying. Ever thought about doing a masterclass or, maybe, a "skillshare" class since your videos are akin to an educational video? You already have a following and your subscribers seems to be asking for a book for you to publish, so, I am sure people will be there to support you. Good luck with the next special bread you come up with.

[@sharon8576]

Mind-blowing. I spent good amount of my life in South Korea and I had never thought of myself anything near this. In my mind Gochujang and bread really doesn't match (like garlic-flavored Ice-cream maybe??) and I love how much of freedom & creativity you're having here. Now I'm hyper curious... How much of spiciness would the final product hold? Defo tryin this. Thanxx for sharing ur artisanship.
