May I just say, this was the most educational, yet entertaining sourdough video I think I have ever seen. Thank you both!!! And thank you for all the knowledge shared

[@thesourdoughjourney]

Thank you!

[@pinnaclecomputersolutions8461]

Sourdough bread baking and comedy team are two phrases I NEVER imagined I would be thinking. But, Tom, here we are.

[@thesourdoughjourney]

Thank you!

[@angelalewis4213]

Can you specify the type of salt you use? I use Diamond Kosher so I might need to adjust if you are using table or Mortons

[@pilgrimpeace7763]

I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed this. Also loved all the movie references and proud to say, I got them all. Bread looked incredible, humour on point, clever editing, great family inclusion and best of all, I learnt a lot. Thank you.

[@thesourdoughjourney]

Thank you so much. We loved making this video and few people really get it. Thanks 🙏

[@MaryAnneSauter-c2w]

Tom All I can say is THANK YOU! I watched you during covid when I had a house full of people and started baking sourdough. Now I am getting ready to bake again and your new videos have answered a lot of my questions. So much content, I watch the videos several times. I agree you and your brother need a TV Show. Thank you!

[@thesourdoughjourney]

Thank you! 🙏

[@kathleenkarppinen9559]

Just found your channel from a friend who has made a small business making and selling her sourdough. You are so fun to watch, and I'm learning so much! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.

Thank you. It’s all about the timing.

[@lindagordon2955]

I giggled through the whole video. My obsession with sourdough bread baking and now watching you and your brother was so perfect. I've missed seeing your videos, I'm glad you're back. I now mill my own wheat for baking sourdough, and it's amazing. There is so much to learn.

[@thesourdoughjourney]

Thanks!

[@LeeAHerfort-jy8pe]

I have been making sourdough for over 6 years. I found your videos when I was researching oven spring. I have learned so much from you and started using your technique for busy people. What a breakthrough! I just completed my 2nd loaf and it is great. The timesaving and predictability are amazing! Thank you so much for making my sourdough journey easier and more rewarding. ♥Lee Ann

[@thesourdoughjourney]

Thank you. And thanks for the support.

[@tootseug]

What a great comedy team you both are!!! So enjoyed it and learned a lot!! Who would have thought one can put together a loaf of sourdough in so little time and effort!!!....certainly not me! Can't wait for your next video!! You guys are pure gold!!!

Thank you. 🙏

[@InggieRalphie8]

Wow! This is the funniest Bread-making video I ever come across! Very educational at the same time very entertaining. I can watch this over n over again! I hope to bake this recipe one day!

[@thesourdoughjourney]

Thanks!

[@OceanFrontVilla3]

I love the overnight method! Just reduce the levain amount so you can mix it after dinner/kitchen cleanup, and do only 1-2 stretch and folds. You can make 2-3 loaves on Friday or Saturday evening and freeze the one or 2 after the 20 initial bake rather than continue baking it after the lid removal. Cool before freezing. To use it, thaw overnight and finish baking in the morning for fresh baked anytime!!

[@thesourdoughjourney]

That is the best method!

[@cindycarusone4607]

Best video ever!!! Thanks for making bread making a fun event!

[@thesourdoughjourney]

I kept feeling like I should cringe, but I legitimately kept chuckling. Excellent video, and I'm absolutely going to attempt this method.

[@thesourdoughjourney]

Yes. 😀

[@colettekomm]

wow this was indeed a journey, a sourdough journey! going to make my dough right now

[@thesourdoughjourney]

If you have trouble with sticky dough, use less water. The flour we use here is a “thirsty” flour that can handle higher hydration.

[@melissaFrogs]

question.. how can I adjust for not having a proofing box/ bulk fermentation box to make sure the dough stays at the intended temp? I have a digital thermometer to use but my house temp I'm sure changes throughout the day .

[@thesourdoughjourney]

Try to approximate what your room temp will be and use this table to estimate the timing at that temperature. It generally works between 64 and 74F dough temperature. At 64-68F go for a 100% rise. At 69-74F start with a 75% rise and see how it goes. Even if your room temp changes, the dough temp does not change very quickly. But it will equalize to your room temp over 4-5 hours. thesourdoughjourney.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Bulk-Fermentation-Timetables-V1.0.pdf

[@kenanavc5918]

The Sourdough Brothers from The International Institute For The Advancement Of Sourdough Science&Research struck gold once again! The entertainment and production value of this very educational video is just amazing! I stopped baking a while ago even though that i work remotely at my house most of the time. Because stopping whatever i'm doing and going to the kitchen every hour for coil&folds has started to become very distracting for my work. This method which i tried and failed in my own very unscientific ways and very inconsistent results might be my signal to get back in to the game and stop going down to the corner store to buy a loaf of bread. Thank you Tom of Cleveland, OH and Rob of Burbank, CA!

[@thesourdoughjourney]

Thank you! You should give it a try. It takes a few tries to get it exactly dialed in for your starter strength. But once you figure it out, it is so easily repeatable. And quite flexible, with the long stints in the refrigerator. You can miss the timing by hours and it still works.

[@rebeccahart791]

I am loving these videos… as a SD newbie, I started a starter 3 days ago, purchased some tools, and hope to try this out in 2 weeks or so. I have watched a lot of your videos, but still cannot figure something out: how do you prepare your starter for this evening routine? Do you feed your regular 1:2:2 in the am? I thought the starter had to be at its peak to use/mix in but I may be overthinking this! Thanks so much!

[@thesourdoughjourney]

I usually feed 1:3:3 about 6 hours before I need it.

[@patrickhochstein9359]

Can you please share details on the container you used for bulk fermentation? It fits perfectly in the incubator. Can't seem to find anything online less than 7" wide, which won't fit. Thanks!

[@myriamchlela4996]

Thank you for that wonderful video. 2 questions - how much do u feed ur starter and for how many hours before using it (assuming temperature 70 in the house) - how do u take care of ur starter. How often do u feed it and how much? Thank u in advance

[@thesourdoughjourney]

I generally do a 1:10:10 feeding of my starter the night before to create the amount I need for baking the next morning. The high feeding ratio slows down the rise so it generally peaks the next morning. If I’m baking midday, I may do a 1:5:5 feeding. When creating a leaven for baking I always try to do a higher feeding ratio to knock down the acidity. For daily maintenance, I generally do a 1:2:2 feeding.

[@TheDiolulaLife]

I just experienced the same problem. It felt like it was starting to come together during the S&F but then turned to soup in my hands 😢We don’t have “bread flour” here in Norway but our standard wheat flour is 12%, beyond that it’s just the tip00 flour marketed for pizza dough, and it’s expensive.

Try using less water. The flour I use is a “thirsty” flour. Also make sure your starter is at peak. Past peak starter can break down the dough in the slap and folds.
