Sour dough

[@non9886]

sour dough contains not just yeast but also lacto bacterias and some acetic bacterias as well. lacto bacterias are typical for taste and smelt and also as difference between usual bread (which is made just by yeast) and sour dough bread. that's why i understand that he things and talks about it as bacterias, means lacto bacterias...

Patrick, I was a baker and pastry chef for almost 40 years involved in every aspect of the working of our industry including teaching, organizing competitions, government laison , managing a small bakery/deli chain and more. When I retired 10 years ago, I had had enough. Didn't even want to bake at home. I ran across this video a couple of weeks ago and then more. Since then I have watched every one of your youtube videos and have made several different loaves of bread, I have a starter on the go and made the apple cinnamon scones yesterday. Thank you for bringing back my love of baking. Keep up the great work.

[@ractenor]

Alfie Moon, I enjoyed a regular paycheck AND time at home by teaching and working for other organizations. Plus it allowed me time to have other influences on the industry through organizing student and professional competitions, liaising with government departments on exam qualifications for bakers and trade regulations. I also worked in a couple of trade organizations that mounted national trade shows in alternate years for the entire industry. But most of all, I didn't have the money or marketing skills to set up my own operation. My daughter had a coffee shop for a long while where she baked all of her pastries - I helped her after I retired and helped her create most of the recipes she used - so I got my fingers in THAT pie too - literally.

While my husband was in the military and we were stationed overseas I met an old lady who's starter was over a hundred years old. She was more than happy to hand over 200 grams to me. I have been using her starter since 1972! My sourdough flavor is amazing. I have been teaching my daughter and grandchildren how to care for it when I'm gone. I'm 68.

Found this masterclass back in March of 2020. Gave me the incentive to start baking my own sourdough. Started my starter back in April of 2020. Starter is now 2.5 years old and just made myself another loaf. I just wanted to come back and say thank you for this video. I use your recipe for my loafs and they always turn out great.

[@GB-yt9sn]

When feeding the starter, Patrick doesn't mention discarding x grams of the starter but the overlay of the video does. What did you do, did you throw out X grams of the starter then add in the flour and water?

[@wanderinwolf3804]

@@GB-yt9sn as you are growing the starter from scratch, you will just be discarding half starter and then adding the flour and water. Once you have a viable and active sourdough starter, as you care for it, if you keep it at room temp constantly, you will be always discarding, or using it if you bake bread that often. So when you either portion out to feed it, you can either just discard the unused starter, or you can use it for countless other things. But again, during the initial growing stages of the starter, you are going to just be discarding the X grams of starter. Also, as an aside, once the starter is fully active, you can put it in the fridge and it is very very resilient, as long as you keep it cold. I went into a depression spiral during covid and didn't feed it for like 10 months while it was in my fridge. lost power due to storm, and as I was cleaning my fridge came across it again. it had a nice layer of hootch on top of it, spelled of a sweet vinegary smell. The hootch was a little discolored, but the starter itself was perfectly fine. I discarded the hootch, chopped the cold and somewhat solidified starter in half to be able to feed it. Let it come up to room temp, fed it, and after a few days of feeding it, it was back up and running like nothing happened. made a loaf with it, and oh my it had deepened the flavor. best loaf I had ever made at that point. Do I recommend leaving it in the fridge starving for 10 months? No. Did it drastically improve my starter? Yes it did. Will I do it again? In all honesty, I've forgotten about it for about 3 months now lol.

When my starter is mature, I smear a thin layer of my starter onto parchment paper and let it dry. I bend the paper and the dried starter comes loose, I crumble it and put it in a zip lock bag and freeze. When I’ve completely ruined my starter, I grab my backup in the freezer and feed it until incorporated. This has saved me many times.

[@matchington1148]

Directions after you’re finished watching the video: 800g flour 460g water 10g salt 320g starter Mix and knead, don’t add much flour. Once the dough can stretch to translucent without tearing, it’s ready. Let proof for 3 hours. Then punch out the air and form into a ball, divide in half and place in a bowl layered with a tea towl and generously dust it with flour. Shape your dough into a compact ball. Place into bowl upside down and dust with flour, then cover with your tea towel. Let proof for 3 1/2 hours. Gently remove from bowl by dusting with flour and flipping upside down. Score if you want. Put into oven at a minimum of 230°C, bake for 30-35 minutes, or with Pyrex bake for 25 minutes, then remove lid and bake for an additional 25 minutes. (25+25 may result in burning your bread, try 20 minutes with the lid then remove the lid and bake an additional 10 minutes or until deep brown. A great way to tell if a bread is done is by checking the bottom and seeing how dark it is.) By the way, this is for after you’ve watched the video and you want to make the recipe. You should watch Patrick’s video first because he explains everything very clearly and much better than me and watching him make it gives you a visual idea of what to do. My comment is just a guide for remembering the steps / ingredient amounts. Happy travels :)

[@djordjebundalo1749]

Hi sourdough friend :) just one question, I think the baking period is 20+10, if using closed dish? I've been following this method and baking for 20min closed + 10min open for great results.

[@matchington1148]

Djordje Bundalo ok thanks! I just made this recipe the other day after transcribing the directions and the 25+25 method resulted in one of my breads getting burnt and the other too brown :(... I’ll try the 20+10 method

[@cstavro]

just a note that you can use different amounts of starter, at different hydration levels, as long as the total weights stay the same. Totals: flour 960g water 620g (65% hydration) salt 10g for instance, I'm using 200g starter (100g flour, 100g water) so I'll start with 860g flour and 520g water.

[@AhmedMohamed-bc2nm]

What about sugar?

[@matchington1148]

Ahmed Mohamed You don’t use sugar in sourdough. It’s called _sour_ dough for a reason. I mean, you could try it if you wanted, I don’t think it’ll harm it, but it’ll make it taste weird and you might as well just make normal white bread at that point.

Cosette Chahoud do you mean you can't understand why people having diffirent opinions? "Like the video or skip it...." why tho? Just because you found this video informative, doesn't mean some others won't say, "This is bullshit." Yes, I also wonder why people dislike this, but it's their right to do that.

[@meadmaker4525]

@@Dark_Lantern_ - Hilarious!! You just tried to upbraid someone for having an opinion...by saying people have a right to their opinions! The fact that she cannot understand why people would dislike this video IS her opinion. It's a colloquial turn of phrase used to describe how she feels about the topic, not a statement of her inability to actually comprehend the idea that other people might not like the video. Now, we're not watching a political debate here, or some sort of perverted, toxic or controversial content that would drive people to feel the need to choose a side and up-vote or down-vote the video. We're watching a show about how to make bread by hand...for free! So, unless this is being watched by 1000 disgruntled bakers, it can probably safely be surmised that those down-votes are from trolls, who may indeed have the right to do so, but it does not mean it is appropriate that they should. Thus the term, "Troll." I believe this was, in fact, the point of the previous comment. I realize your entitlement filter may not be able to process the idea of propriety versus rights, but, with any luck, you'll get there some day.

Put it onto the baking tray. Score the top of the dough, for design purpose, and also prevent the sourdough's crust from stopping the bread from expanding during baking. 9) Preheat Oven to 230 Degrees Celsius and Bake for 30-35 Minutes (with a tray with some water for steaming). If in Pyrex, bake 25 minutes, remove lid, and bake another 25 minutes.

Hi Bill, did you prove the dough for 3 hours, and then prove again for 3 hours and bake? I proved for 3 hours, then put in the fridge overnight (did not prove out of the fridge for the second 3 hours) but when I baked I got a flat hard loaf, I'm thinking I should have done the second proof out of the fridge, and then put the dough in the fridge overnight so it was ready to go in the morning?

[@tooncutter5805]

@Flatus Antiquitous Thanks for this. I've tried five times now and I keep getting flat-ish loaves coming out of the oven - they are flying saucer shaped. My starter is active, I use bread flour, not really getting a good rise on the first 3-hour proof but I don't want to over prove it so I let the first rise go 3.5 hours max, then divide into two baskets, the dough feels good after the second 3-hour rise, goes into the oven but it does not get any oven spring. Can't figure out what the heck I'm doing wrong. I'm in CA so I am wondering if I need to add more liquid to hydrate the flour?

[@tooncutter5805]

@Flatus Antiquitous Thanks so much. Will let it proof longer, was timid with it because Ryan states you can over-proof. Will try again this weekend with an overnight proof and report back. And yes, can't abide table salt, always Morton's.

Aww man this comment just warms my heart

[@DejanBogdanovic]

That's the spirit :)

[@RAMtrails]

your starter probably wasn't ready, but glad it worked out.

[@OrlandoPcomedy]

I’m still intimidated to try. This is my 3rd time watching the video. I think it’s time for me to go for it

[@RAMtrails]

just make sure your yeast is very active and passes the float test.

[@VideoNozoki]

Now that I've looked around the internet, I've come back again to this video. Patrick Ryan gives the best instructions! Clear, thorough, everything you want - nothing you don't need.

[@jackorion482]

You are such a kind, patient man. You’re a damn fine teacher. Thank you. The way you talk to us reminds me of a knowledgeable older brother. Thanks, man.

[@dianastacu5641]

I have seen so many videos on KZbin trying to make my first sourdough bread and I have done so many horrible breads.. But this time, with this technique it was completely different! Thank you so much Patrick, for sharing and giving so a easy way of doing this amazing bread! You are the best!

[@eloisajose-baquet1413]

"Think about somebody you don't like and just go for it " you can see it on Patrick's eyes that he really meant it :D

To add on to what several other people have said, that was genuinely THE BEST bread tutorial I've EVER seen. No, that's not true. That's the greatest *food tutorial* I've ever seen. If you don't already have a show, you need a show.

[@NolaGB]

Agreed, Danielsan and a book as well!

[@samuelbealer608]

This is the recipe I used for my first attempt at sourdough, it turned out really good and I have another set on their first proof now. I’ve learned that any new recipe takes me a couple tries to get the feel of but I’m so excited for these next loaves :D

[@jeanmeslier9491]

As a long time sourdough baker, I can tell you that this is the most informative and correct video I have seen. I am on a low sodium diet, so I don't use salt. Bread bakes and tastes fine without salt. I also don't measure anything, I just make it look and feel right. And I don't have "discard", that a particular flour company promotes heavily, after all they are selling flour. The longest my starter went un-fed was over 3 months in the refrigerator. Someone below tells how to dry and freeze starter. I do this. For Americans the 230 C is 450 F.

[@netflixandpopcorn5306]

As an american, thank you!

[@balagtas1020]

Can you leave the dough in the benetton over night outside the fridge??

[@sualdammacsamildanach8154]

That bit about chucking large portions of the developing starter away has always bugged me, too! I guess it's so you don't end up with a dustbin-sized container of it by the 7th day.

[@ThePiperjoe]

Really nice! This guy seems to really really know what he is doing, but he also gives you this "you can do it feeling": Thanks Patrick, my Sourdough starter just started

[@focalratio456]

How was the first loaf?

[@charlesaol]

This was an amazing tutorial. Only difference was I used the slap and fold technique plus the stretch and fold. This baking process is a whole lot easier than others I've come across so far

[@catherinehoward1102]

Oh my goodness! Thank you for this video tutorial. I've just baked my first sourdough loaf and it was so delicious! Been making waffles from the discard as you suggested in the follow up vid. I normally make all our (yeast) bread, but won over by the flavour of this..

Lol I saw this video back in March and started making a starter, then I got scared and made a loaf with dry yeast instead because it looked easier.

@@AddersOtter is dry yeast and starter works the same?

Hi Patrick, I'm nearly 70 years old and this's the first time that i've tried making a sourdough bread, I followed your recipe from starter to baking the bread down to the T. It's now in the oven and it's looking good. thank you so much. I have always been intimidated or not understand fully the instruction. Yours is the best.

It's the best way to love imo, especially if you don't like nosey/crazy/loud neighbors. Used to live in a big house in an allotment with tons of restrictions. Now I live on 5 acres with chickens 🐔 a goat and my woofers. Plus I've got woods and fields on 3 sides of me- nearest neighbor is about a half a mile away. Love this baker, really explains things good but doesn't over complicate things.

I have watched so many videos on making sourdough at home and none of them came out properly, until I tried this one! The pyrex dish was a winner for me, as well as the kneading, I didn't understand how other recipes never included this stage! Thanks so much for an excellent video!

[@colmmurphy1009]

Couldn't agree more, some videos are taking the piss, this is much better than most

[@ChrisHegan]

Yes, but don't try this recipe unless baking a pure white loaf. The trickier moves become necessary when you start using wholemeal or even spelt. He's also using very low hydration, - just over 50% - which you can with pure white. With the wholemeal/white/spelt combo I use, 76% water to flour. Much harder to handle and needs very careful working - you can't knead it without killing it.

[@leahquema1274]

Thank you for sharing on how to make the starter and making the sour dough bread. You're an inspiration!

Thank you... I followed all you said and have just produced my first sourdough bread... And it's perfect! I'm so happy...

[@vanessajaques5630]

Ok so, like many of you at the moment, I'm quarantining!! I'm in China, been quarantining pretty much since January :-/ So I finally bit the bullet and decided to give sourdough a go (difficult to get decent bread here at the best of times!!) I searched youtube for recipes and ideas on how to start and stumbled across this video. I went to the supermarket and got All Purpose flour (that was all I could find), and got started... I followed the instructions, took me a little over a week to get my starter going, and it was lovely and fluffy and bubbly. I made the dough and it was very sticky, I had to add some flour to my hands to get the dough off, so it was incorporated into the mixture too. I let it prove for about 4 hours then shaped it again and put it in my pyrex dish in the fridge overnight. It looked very flat and sad this morning, and so I put it in the oven with very low expectations. 30 mins later I checked to take the bowl part off the Pyrex dish, and the bread had risen to nearly the top of the dish!!!!!! I cooked it for another 30 mins (I have a very crappy and old toaster oven type thing so always need the temp higher and the time longer). I removed from the oven THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LOAF OF SOURDOUGH BREAD I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!!!!!!!!! It was even literally "singing" to me (it was making all sorts of weird crackling and popping sounds). I cut it open, it had a beautiful crisp shell and beautiful bubbly looking loaf on the inside. I then proceeded to eat half the loaf. It was my first attempt at making bread (not just sourdough) from scratch and was a total success! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! I'm afraid to try again now though :)

[@1Mikissa]

Okay, you talked me into it. I shall try as well. Why not? Quarantining has made room for those "one of these days" projects I wil try. :)

[@paul80179]

Nice video, very well explained. I am an professional baker and i bake all my sourdough breads with a starter (15 years old) made from apple-water. Raisin-water works also very good. Slice an apple and put together with 1 liter of water in an open jar en place it somewhere in the kitchen or outside. The apple's color goes brown, but that's okay. After 1 week, discard the apple en use this water to make your sourdough starter. Cast iron Dutch Ovens are great baking vessels by the way. Greetings from The Netherlands

[@patriciagimay9195]

Hi Can you explain what you do after the apple water is ready,and how to feed it.Do you have to keep feeding with the apple water.Thanking you

[@paul80179]

Hello Patricia When the apple water is ready, you can use this water to make your sourdough starter as explained in the video above. After that (the 1 week process) you can just use tap water to feed it and keep it alive. This method just gives your starter a real boost, because of the lactic acid bacteria that are on the apple's skin.

[@patriciagimay9195]

Thanking you so very much. I shall try that. Many kind thanks.

[@denisejoudrey5933]

How do you make the raisin water?

[@paul80179]

Hello Denise, Just soak some dry raisins in hot water for about 15 minutes or so and drain over a bowl to catch the water. Use this water to make your sourdough-starter as explained in the video above. It is all about the lactic acid bacteria. Real honey works also very well to give your starter or polish/biga a real boost. Just keep experimenting.That is the fun of it. Greetings and good luck.

[@gracieayers8706]
