How to Make Artisan Style Sourdough Bread (Step by Step)

This video provides you with a fun full step by step process of how I make artisan (skillfully handmade) sourdough bread. If you have a sourdough starter, whether lifeless or active, this recipe will surely work for you!
Earlier this year, I made my first loaf of bread using whole grain einkorn flour and my own natural yeast I made from home (aka sourdough starter). Since then I’ve branched out of my einkorn bubble and decided to try the more popular sourdough bread that many are accustomed to (the chewy, fluffy, and lightly tangy bread made with bread flour. Though I prefer the high quality nutrients that ancient grain Einkorn flour provides, I still believe homemade bread is the best bread no matter the flour you use. Making your own bread is an amazing way to stay away from unhealthy additives and preservatives in your food while also saving money! While viewing this video, I'd like you to keep in mind, that I just recently purchased a banneton basket, bench scraper, and bread lame, and while it has taken my bread making to a more refined level. I know good bread is more than possible without all of these things. As you can see I still don’t use a Dutch oven and I achieve great rise on my bread! Many times it is about technique more than it is about the tools you have. All in all, I’m still learning but I hope that this video is helpful to you and encourages you to continue or try for the first time making your own bread!
