How to Make Sourdough Bread From Scratch and How to Perfectly Roast a Chicken and Root Vegetables

[@GraemeLove-gglove]

Thank me later: - 520g All Purpose Flour - 360g water, room temperature - 11g salt - 85g mature Sourdough Starter

[@GraemeLove-gglove]

These weights were based on the recipe on their website.

[@scottcampbell96]

[@christopherorman5769]

I think the following is better: 1000 grams of flour, 760 grams of water, 250 grams of starter, and 20 grams of salt. You can push your water content up to 800 grams (or 80 percent) in certain circumstances. The ratio/recipe you posted is about 69 percent water, which is a wee bit low.

Baking sourdough bread from scratch has been my obsession for over a year. My starter is now about a year and a half old. I keep her in the refrigerator and feed her once a week. When I’m ready to bake with her, I take her out about two days before, let her warm to room temperature, give her a feeding, let her raise and fall, feed her again the night before I bake with her, and she’s ready to bake the next day. Yes, she has a name, lol. She is is the “yeast beast”! lol It’s such a satisfying journey into the past with growing your own wild yeast, and I’m absolutely hooked! I loved watching this, as I do all of your recipes, tips, suggestions, and product reviews! You guys rock!

[@laurenandreas5950]

monica flores Ha Ha, that’s a great name. You have to name your starter, it is kinda like a pet. I have two starters and they taste different. I ordered ‘Flo” (short for flour) and I made “Monti” (I used flour from Montana)! It’s a lot of fun and healthier too!

It sounds like some of those who left comments doesn't understand that you only need to make the starter once. After that, you only need to feed it the night before you use it. I have been making sourdough bread, pancakes & waffles with the same starter since 1974 and I was given my start by my sister who got it from her mother in law 20 years before that.

[@terryremsik3418]

Really?! wow that is amazing !

[@linda_sue]

They say this method of not feeding daily works only if you refrigerate the starter, putting the yeast to sleep. For keeping room temperature, you must feed daily or the yeast dies of starvation.

[@avidrdr5640]

Do you know someone with chickens? Sourdough discard makes a great occasional, very healthy treat for my chickens. I spread a very thin layer of it, sprinkled with chia and flax seeds (best sources for omega 3), between 2 sheets of parchment paper and let it dry for a couple of days. The paper will peel away easily when it's dried. Drying it with anything other than parchment paper won't work because it sticks like concrete to everything else. Break it into pieces and the hens love it. The probiotics are so good for them. It has to be spread thin enough to break easily by hand when dried or it will be too hard, with sharp edges, for the chickens to swallow.

[@Lonepup1957]

Hello Test Kitchen, my sourdough starter is now 14 months old. I learned how from this link. I am now experimenting with variations.. I feed my starter 100% rye flour, weekly, put back in the fridge. But I also have a 50% mixture of Rye flour and good old fashioned American All Purpose flour. Every 3rd feeding I use this mix. AP flour is great because it is high in carbs which the starter loves.

[@Lonepup1957]

I like to reply to my own posts because it saves space. It is very important to mention, that if you use whole grain flour, wheat or rye, that you use it within say a month or so. I put my bags of wheat and rye flour in plastic 1 gallon bags and store in the freezer. No need to do this for all purpose flour or other cheap blends. I learned here on youtube from the baking experts that whole grain flours, if not frozen will go rancid in a few months at room temp.

[@astrea79]

Thank you for clarifying that the initial feeding process takes 10-14 days. I've been reading articles that say throw it out after a week if it's not doubling. Glad I didn't listen! Mine is at 12 days and not quite there yet.

[@susanhenshaw639]

I recently started a sourdough starter from scratch (Feb-Mar 2022) and thought the reason for it not really coming together was bc it was too cold in my kitchen overnight. I tried the light bulb on in the oven trick... But it was not getting there. I also so read, you had to let the culture be able to breath, not placing a tight lid on top, so I used a coffee filter with an elastic (new) hair tie band to hold it in place. In my search to learn how to do this right, I came across somewhere explaining if you have hard water, which I do, it is best to use bottled water....OH MY!!! With the next feeding - It bloomed! It floated, it was amazing!! Finally got it to where it had to be..... I came home from work and found my wide mouth ball jar, with the pretty white paper top, almost full to the top, all bubbly and pretty! So excited to finally be able to make a loaf of sourdough bread! Yippee!! OH WoW - oh wait.... what-the.... there was a hole on one side of the top... I've only been trying to get this to work right for almost 3 months, now, so when I went to stir it, I noticed it was darker this time...What? no.... oh, no.... NOOOO!!! I cried, literally cried.... there, in my jar of risen sourdough, buried, was a curious little field mouse who made his way in, hungry and cold, only to satisfy his needs where he met his untimely death.... I put a metal lid on it and threw it in the garbage... I was done. NOW April, and I come across your video, where my dear friend just yesterday, gifted me the same Dutch oven... I'm destined to try again.... Maybe with the discard still in the fridge? Maybe? Or maybe I should just start from scratch 😜

[@wholeNwon]

There will be lots of comments about the bread, so here's one more: I've been making it for many decades. Whole wheat flour does help because it likely contains more yeast spores and perhaps bacteria than more processed flours. I used much less flour for my original starter MANY years ago. I have one starter than has survived from the late 1700s! I keep mine in a cold fridge and feed it about once a month, if I remember. There are always at least 2 jars in case my neglect kills one, but more likely a foreign mold succeeds in invading and necessitates discarding that batch. I also drain the "hooch". For my taste, those loaves were very burned. I sort of throw loaves together in minutes but, if consistence is important to you, weigh everything to allow for differences in the hydration state of your flour.

Regarding sourdough, when starting to feed it remove to have 2 oz starter every day or just add flour and water everyday? Refrigerate after day 14 and just add flour and water once a week? How long to leave at room temp before putting back in fridge? Thanks in advance!

[@bunkyman8097]

Pink Krane--i made a starter in 2004. when I was finished baking with it I didn't throw any of it out and feed it once more. I then poured it on a parchment lined baking sheet and let it dry out at room temp. This took awhile. Once dry I broke it up into pieces. You could probably put it in a blender or food processor. I stored it in an airtight mason jar in the cupboard. When I wanted to use it again I would put some of the dry starter in a bowl with a little sugar, flour and water. Keep feeding it as you did and in a few days you're good to go! I still use this same starter after 16 years. When the dried starter gets low I dry some more, that way you always have some of the original!! Good luck!

So, for all the bread recipes that call for “active or rapid dry yeast”, you buy in the stores, can we just substitute that with the the 14 day leaven? And if so, is the amount we use, 3 oz.? I have started my own sourdough starter for the purpose of using it instead of the dry active yeast but I’m having trouble finding any recipes that tell me how I can use my sourdough starter or leaven, (I’m not sure on the spelling 😄), when it is ready.

[@kellytsai3]

ValleyMermaid Designs I have spent the past few days binge watching sourdough bread and discard recipes. If your starter is 1:1 flour to water, then for each cup of discard you use, decrease the original recipe amount of flour And water by half cup. No instant yeast needed.

[@shawnflynn7235]

Hi, i thought the lacto bascillus and the yeast come from the surface of the grains and that the air borne yeast had a lesser role.

I like the fact that this method doesn't require pre-heating the oven! "Jenny Can Cook" has a good bread recipe, but you have to pre-heat the Dutch oven to 450F (abt 30 mins) before adding the dough, which, now that I've seen this version, seems like you're just wasting time and heat. PLUS the Amer. Test Kitchen method doesn't require much longer oven time than Jenny's method.

[@halifaxliving]

Loved the sourdough tutorial. Epic.

[@MsMegil]

Achieved success second time around by switching to metric measure ( thanks Graeme Love) and reducing water by 25g ( thanks Christopher ). I reduced the hydration level of my starter for a few days beforehand but it was nowhere near the stick to the bottom of the bowl shown. Instead of fiddling with the boiling water, I let it rise in the oven with the light left on. I did bake from a cold oven but reduced the temp to 400 and removed the lid after 25 minutes. Not a fan of the "char" trend so took it out when the crust was golden - about 25 minutes more. Result was a nice sized loaf with terrific flavour. The only fault was that the crust could have been a bit crispier so I will play with that a bit to improve.

[@proberts34]

I liked the role that Christopher played, that of emcee and cooking enthusiast. It allowed Julia, Bridget, Dan, Becky and the other on-screen chefs "teach" him how to do a recipe. In essence, Christopher stood in for the home cook. As for Christopher's arrogance and condescension, I never got that vibe. But I spent 10 years in the Army, so I might have been desensitized. :) In the current format, we have two highly experienced chefs on-screen at the same time. What are they going to "teach" each other, the importance of having evenly sized root vegetables? When they did that with Christopher it was natural, but when they do it with each other it seems artificial. A good example of what I mean is the snippet from 2:27 to 2:40. Julia has to explain that for the home cook audience (and I'm glad she does), but it looks like she's teaching Bridget and I find that jarring every time it happens. Having Dan or Becky "teach" Julia and Bridget is fine, because Dan and Becky often do different types of recipes from Julia and Bridget. I think ATK should reprise the role of non-cooking emcee and cooking enthusiast for most of the cooking segments.

I've watched this many times; at 11:54 Dan says the yeast is probably providing the alcohols that make the starter smell boozy. What yeast? It's not one of the mentioned ingredients. Each day during the 14-day feeding cycle, do you discard most of the starter?

[@ShannonAlexis96]

He means the wild yeast in the flour. Not commercial yeast. When you are making a new starter you have to discard a lot until it is established. You can use the discard in other baking projects like pancakes, crackers, muffins etc.

[@ostclanadventures]

Like above, True Sourdough bread only uses a fermented “starter”, which is a is created by naturally occurring yeast. The beginning was him making the starter (which you use instead of dry yeast). Otherwise you can use dry yeast to create a “fast sour dough” like dough called a “biga”, which is left over night or longer and then used which is used in some breads like some focaccia, pizza dough, and ciabatta. But true sourdough is easier for many people to digest and and the fermentation process can encourage a healthy gut microbiome

@18:00+ It seems strange to humidify the oven if the bread is covered with plastic. I'd guess that, at most, the humidity just increases the heat transference to the Dutch oven, but that doesn't seem very important for a long rise.

[@rcgsail1]

So in order to keep your starter going in this example, after using 3 ounces of starter to make the loaf, how much water and flour should be added to the remaining/leftover starter? And going forward, you feed weekly using 2 ounces of the starter, water, and flour? Can you refrigerate and increase the feeding interval period?

[@adam4025]

yes, you can keep in a fridge only 4 days without feeding, on fith days start feed again with the same measurements and remaining starter collect and use for a pizza, pancake... Use the same measurement every time when you feeding the starter.

@21:07 She says that store-bought sourdough almost tastes like vinegar. Right, because both vinegar and sourdough get their acidity mostly from acetic acid. Also, most of the flavoring bacteria in sourdough come from the flour, not the air.

enjoy your series and the experience of your chefs

[@jeeptds]

those veggies look delicious

[@coolwater55]

My mom and grandma roasted chicken or beef with vegetables..it all tasted great!...

5 and 1/3 oz. ? what does ATK have against grams?

[@fredestair7360]

Question about feeding the started after it’s mature. Do you need to continue with all purpose and whole wheat or can you just feed with all purpose flour. Thanks!

[@donblunkall5607]

Thanks girls, awesome as always. Love the show.

4/13/20- Your recipe for sour dough starter popped up on my You Tube search. Thank you for clarifying how to make starter. I have everything but the digital scale, which is on its way. I even have the King Arthur flours and the dough whisk! In these times, I have heard folks say they cannot find yeast so, this starter is perfect and the bread tastes amazing!

[@helpfulnatural]

Yes, the search for yeast is something I've never seen before and I've been baking for many years. There's tons to be had on ebay for the right price. :-/ Apparently ebay has not bothered to weed out price gouging like other sites are doing.

Does Cast Iron dutch oven has to be enameled or can it be simple cast iron dutch oven? You use parchment paper so I don't think sticking will be issue. Not sure about lid as not all dutch oven retain steam same way (some are very leaky)?

[@eunicebrothers1950]

You'd mentioned to bake in a cold oven at 425 degrees for 30 minutes. Does this include the preheating time? My oven takes 15 minutes to preheat before it reaches 425, so this would mean I am only baking my bread for the latter 15 minutes at 425, and the initial 15 minutes would be during the preheating duration.

My mouth is watering just looking at those veggies! And the chicken! And sourdough!,😍

[@kikigamble4315]

Hi. Does the type of water ( chlorinated or uncoordinated make a difference in the starter n those days that you feed the starter? HAPPY HOLIDAYS !! Peace to you and yours

[@ostclanadventures]

Yes it can sometimes. Used spring (bottled) or distilled water if you ahve an issue with starter not growing

[@DeirdreYoung1]

Fascinating to watch and learn - thank you very much! - but I can't envision putting two weeks of care into a loaf of bread.

[@KaitouKaiju]

Deirdre Young Two weeks of effort for a starter. After that you just make bread like normal

[@wholeNwon]

You retain the residual starter for future use.

[@dugchris2009]

Do you have to discard some of the starter before feeding each day? That is what I have been told in other videos that I have watched. Thanks

[@WALLYMASSAGE]

Great great episode, thank you. I usually only follow the Barefoot Contessa's recipe for chicken. But y'all's recipe is awesome

[@kylieturnquest7066]

You make shaping the dough look so easy. My dough handling skills need LOTS of work. Perhaps you can do a show on that technique. I like the idea of using a cold oven for baking.

[@vbinnc3308]

Would this recipe/method work using whole wheat or rye flour? I imagine the amount of water would change, is there a formula for adjusting the required amount? Any help is greatly appreciated .

[@verdatum]

That boiling water idea is brilliant. I can't wait to try this.

[@ehzcolorado6593]

I am Datty77... Just better to buy a good quality Sour Dough at a good bakery. Now the Chicken with vegetables that is something I can tackle and not mess up. Awesome reculioes guys. Love your show.

[@travissimpson7061]

I now understand why I have never tried sourdough bread... I will now. Thank you ATK!!!

[@elizabethshaw734]

My roast chicken and root vegetables is very delicious. People have actually stopped in that I don't know from the street going by because they were walking and wanted to know what the wonderful aroma was. I always said just roast chicken and vegetables and I have made some friends that way! :-)

[@stephaniepickert3474]

I have a 4.5 quart Dutch. Will this suffice for this recipe? Or will the bread rise to the top of the lid and ruin it?

[@Stardust_4300]

Stephanie Pickert that's a perfect size I use it too
