Same Day Sourdough Bread | No Proofing Box Needed

[@PerfectlyImperfectHomemaker]

Great video!! I’ve never thought of placing my bowl of dough in warm water, thanks for the tip!! I will definitely be trying this!!

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Thank you! I'm so glad it was helpful!

[@Rob_430]

I warm my starter up in the sink in a larger bowl filled with warm water, to speed it up. I also bake cold…..cold dough, cold vessel, cold oven, and it works. Nice loaf and video!

[@JackOusley]

Thanks for the tips! I have been using my oven with the light on as a proofing box, it can actually heat up to 80-85 in there just from the lightbulb.

[@beckyshields700]

What a NICE VIDEO! TY for the thorough explanations! And I have to say (as a Mama of a Daughter) but YOU are beautiful! Your eye color, the pretty shade of your skin & your hair color is gorgeous! I bet your Parents are proud of you! BTW, I love your Kitchen! 🎉

Awe, thank you so much!! You are sweet. That made my day. ❤️

Your bread looks delish, I love sourdough. Great idea for making it quick. 🌷🇨🇦

[@YvonneWomack-Storts]

Thank you! Brilliant! I’ve really been struggling since the weather turned cold here in Florida. I can’t wait to try this.

[@pattyfigarola5057]

As someone who has an expensive proof box, I like using my oven to proof my bread when doing multiple loaves. All I do is boil some water in my kettle and fill a coffee mug. The mug sits on the floor of my oven and will keep the temp around 80F. I do replace the boiling water every 45-60 minutes. Another rule I love to break is to add a gram of instant yeast to speed up my bulk fermentation- it goes about an hour faster and I still get the taste of sourdough in my loaves.

[@lisagraced8112]

Just came across your channel today, went back to watch a few videos because this one caught my attention, and I love it. Your home renovations are remarkable and beautiful. I feel as though I have a decent amount of experience with sourdough and I love that I learned new things from your video. Thank you, so much. Bless y’all! Oh, and I subscribed! 😀

[@KTDaniels]

I poof my bread In microwave. Wheat up a coffee cup full of water for 2 min. Then put water in back of microwave add the bread with cover. Works like a charm.

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

That is so smart! If we had a microwave I would use it just for this!

[@gattamom]

I’ve done this for years. I use a pint canning jar full of boiling water. If you don’t have a microwave, you can do the same thing in a cooler.

[@vjgirl316]

I got to try your microwave method

[@angelicamillergalind]

I do this too! I poor the water from the coffee carafe to 2 tall mason jars and placethem on each side of the bowl. It works❤

[@OceanFrontVilla3]

Love your method, LOVE your bowl of eggs!!

[@susantaylor8739]

I found this extremely helpful and baked a beautiful loaf today following your method. I did have to make adjustments as I live in the south wits lot of humidity. Thanks.

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Yay! I’m so glad it was helpful!

[@BarbaraSmith-i4q]

what temperature did you bake it at and for how long, did you take the lid off at some point

[@lauriehorn6096]

Yummmmm, that looks so good!! One day I will try!!

[@vickijones6739]

I use the word fluffy for my dough when its nice and soft n bubbly.

[@grammacreepy9324]

I use my oven with only the light on for bulk fermentation and proofing. If something needs to be baked, I'll move it to the microwave with a large mug of hot water. Your method is great, but I have too many people using dishes all day to use it for bread. Everyone has their own method to fit their lives. Great video, and that chocolate bread looks heavenly. It's probably gonna be my next bake!

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Yes, I love this! Everyone has to find what works for them! We don't have a microwave or an oven light that will stay on with the door closed, so we opt for the sink.

[@SarahsOctoberHome]

It looks so easy and so good!👌🏻🫶🏻

[@sunkissed4261]

I'm able to master making biscuits, but my bread making lacks. I'm gonna give this a try. I watched in another video how you found your sink. What a wonderful story. I wouldn't even reglaze it. I think how it is gives character.

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

I hope it works for you! Thank you!

[@LindyLoo40]

I put mine in the oven with the light on until it has doubled. I am saving for a proofing box, so expensive. I am in Uk and it was -5C this morning so takes forever, even with my starter. They don’t like the cold.

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

I wish our oven light worked with the door shut. Unfortunately, it only comes on when the door is open. Yes, they are so expensive! I hope you get one soon!

[@eddieandjulieklysz458]

[@gayleb9656]

I’ve been trying to get a starter going but it doesn’t seem to be working 😢

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

I'm sorry. Trying to get one started can be so frustrating. I had to switch to whole wheat flour to create my starter. I could not get it to work using all purpose. You could also possibly try changing the water you use.

[@gattamom]

Use whole wheat or rye flour to make your starter and use pineapple juice instead of water. * DAY ONE: Mix 2 Tablespoons whole grain flour and 2 Tablespoons pineapple juice. Stir well, cover and let sit for 24 hours at room temperature. * DAY TWO: Add 2 Tablespoons whole grain flour and 2 Tablespoons pineapple juice. Stir well, cover and let sit another 24 hours at room temperature. You may, or may not start to see small bubbles at this point. * DAY THREE: Add 2 Tablespoons whole grain flour and 2 Tablespoons pineapple juice. Stir well and let sit 24 hours at room temperature. * DAY FOUR: Stir mixture and measure out 1/4 cup--discard the rest. To the 1/4 cup, stir in 1/4 cup unbleached AP flour and 1/4 cup water. Let sit 24 hours at room temperature. * REPEAT Day Four until mixture expands to double its size and smells yeasty. Mixture may start to bubble after a couple of days and then go flat and look totally dead for a couple more days. If this happens, at about Day 6 add the 1/4 teaspoons vinegar with your daily feeding. This will lower the PH and wake up the yeast, which will then start to grow. * Once the yeast starts growing, starter should be fed equal parts of flour and water in a quantity sufficient to make enough starter for your recipe

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Really?! How cool! Can you send me a link?

[@minnamae25]

I never thought to put the bowl in warm water. 😮 We have our woodstove in the kitchen (i hate it but) it keeps the kitchen warm and my sourdough is always happy. IF it's not that warm, I would put it in the oven with just the light on....BUT since my stupid oven in this house constantly blows the light bulb, then i started using a heating pad on low. I make everything sourdough, my family refuses to eat store bought and I agree. Store bought tastes like crap. Hahahaha Thanks for the nifty idea.

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

That is the one thing I hate about our vintage stove is the oven light won’t stay on unless the door is open. The heating pad is such a great idea! We used to hate sourdough and are slowly beginning to love it!

[@minnamae25]

@@LewisAcresHomestead once i started discovering different recipes and making them work for where we live, now it's all we eat. Hamburger rolls, hotdog rolls, sub rolls, bagels, english muffins and so much more. Adding sourdough to anything we bake is super good for our gut. We have noticed big time how we feel so much better. 🤗😍

[@alemack689]

I cover my bowl with saran and a towel and sit the bowl on a heating pad on low . That proofs it faster

[@fmercon]

I love this same-day method, but my loaves are coming out flatter than usual. They aren't gummy. The crumb is okay. I'd like it to be a little lighter and have a better rise. I'm following your directions exactly. My starter is well-fed and bubbly. Suggestions?

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

Hi! Are you doubling the amount of starter you’re using? If you are then I would suggest allowing it to bulk ferment an additional hour or so.

[@aaronbenesh4722]

Has using the water from your Berkey affected you bread making? I have the same Berkey filter.

[@LewisAcresHomestead]

It has. We have really hard water so our water was killing the sourdough starter. Since filtering the water I don’t have that problem anymore.
