Sourdough Bread Recipe (Super Simple)

[@meganwente3888]

this recipe was soooo easy to do!! i feel like the videos i see on tiktok overwhelm me and make the sourdough baking process seem insanely hard! this video explained it in perfect terms and made me way less stressed! ❤

[@shellygarza9364]

I did your 6 flip and turn. My bread was amazing. T. Y. For telling us to do this method. 🎉it ready did make a difference

[@sharifahzahwahusnial-edrus3646]

I was almost giving up after 3 failed attempts. Sat on the kitchen counter, staring at my active starter with no successful sourdough to show for it. Until I came across this video. I am proud to say now that I have undoubtedly baked the best sourdough bread with your guidance, and I am so happy to share this video to my friends who are keen to start off their sourdough journery. Thank you for existing. Honestly, I love you for this. Thank you a million times, from Singapore.

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

That is so incredible to hear! Your comment totally made my day! :)

[@jimmychafins]

Thanks nice and simple no long drawn out video…! I will be using this for my first loaf today…made my own starter wasn’t too tough.

[@marinaspalate]

I’ve tried a similar process with refrigeration and it didn’t rise much 🥲 I want to try your recipe now! It looks beautiful, and rose so nicely 🤩🤩🤩 and it’s true, we all make it slightly different, there’s no one right way to make it, which is my favorite thing about sourdough! I’m having fun experimenting all the time. This recipe is on my list☺️

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

Keep me posted on how you like the recipe!

[@susanaemmert5286]

I made 2 loafs of this bread and is delicious!!! It is 00:25 in Montana and I will go to bed 1:40am make sure I will have a nice bread for my family at diner … thank you the best recipe ever !!!!!

[@iancantrill5961]

My first time baking sourdough bread and this easy recipe produces perfect loaves every time. Thanks very much.

[@jamierainey7386]

This is the easiest to follow recipe for sourdough and I’ve made it three times your way and also tried so many other recipes in the past. Yours is by far the easiest for a beginner and very easy to follow. I let my 14 yr old use your recipe last weekend and she nailed it.

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

That's so great to hear!! Would you mind leaving a review of this recipe on my blog? I'd appreciate it so much :)

[@StephanieClipstone]

Thank you, thank you. Made bread today. It turned out great. Other attempts have failed miserably. One very happy lady, from the UK.

[@MaryAlexander-gc2uw]

Oh this was a fabulous recipe. Being fairly new to the “Sourdough Creator’s Guild”, I have attempted multiple recipes with more disappointment than excitement. Your instructions are simple and straightforward. Followed your directions to the “T”…..and finally….Success!! Thank you, Thank you….From, Houston, TX🤗

​@@SimplyHomeCookedThanks for this recipe its work out soo well i try few times ❤

[@kirasays4838]

I’ve used a friends recipe twice now and each time my dough is too sticky and I have to add so much flour to try and save it. It’s edible, but too chewy. I just realized today it’s because I have a central humidifier in my house, so it’s too much moisture. I made your recipe in half the time I made my friends, all in the same day. Baked both and your recipe came out wayyyy better! It’s about 100g more of flour than my friends recipe and it works perfectly. Also, I’ve seen so many of these videos and this one was by far the easiest to follow! So thank you! My loaf turned out beautiful and tastes amazing! ❤

[@MossyMeadowsFarm]

I’ve made and cared for my very first Homemade SD starter for two months and Now I am ready to bake my first SD After watching and reading several different recipes. I’ve chosen this one and I’m excited to try it out. Your instructions are very simple.

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

Let me know how it works out for you when you give it a try!

[@MossyMeadowsFarm]

I did try it out yesterday and allowed the dough to sit in the fridge overnight. It’s currently resting on my kitchen counter and warming up for 3 hours, Then it’s bake time. I’ll check back a little later to let you know how my final product turned out. Thank you!! 🦋

[@katielauer]

@@MossyMeadowsFarm hopefully it turned out and your still on your journey! I’m just starting mine and after months of videos and preparing other stuff with my sourdough starter I also chose this video due to her 1.1.1 ratio! Prayers it comes out like bread!

Thank you !! I took a class yesterday and she made it soooo complicated and said it takes 3 days!! I will definitely use your recipe to make my first loaf. ❤

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

I'd love to hear how this recipe works out for you!

[@dag4836]

You are an excellent teacher. I’ve watch so many others and there are things they don’t explain such as why you fold the dough in thirds and then roll it up. It’s so the seam stays on the inside. Maybe that should be common sense but I’m not known for that….lol. Thank u, I will try this.

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

Thank you for the kind words! I'd love to hear how it goes when you give the recipe a try :)

[@CzechDiver]

I just followed this recipe and made my first loaf of sourdough bread! It turned out great! The only small tweak I did was the wait time. It didn't seem to rise as much in the fridge overnight so I put it on one of those warming pads used for plant seeds and left it on there for about 7 more hours and then it grew and then I was able to bake it. So lesson learned ... sometimes you just gotta be able to adjust... great video to follow for sure! Thank you.

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

That is awesome to hear! I'm glad you had success with your sourdough!

[@charliefrago1380]

nice and good to see a more simple and lower hydration; much easier to to work with. for me, i also let it raise on the table for 1-3 hours before shaping it. I find it continues the bulk fermentation for me and gets a little more air in it. then i preshape and shape.

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

Thanks for the tip! :)

[@jenconsumer5228]

On which step do you do this, after the overnight fridge ?

[@michaeldeyoung570]

I made the sourdough bread and it was a breeze. I got a recipe for the starter from Mary's Nest and it only took 4 days. She uses rye flour. Thank you for the great bread recipe and your clear instructions.

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

You're welcome! Enjoy the recipe😊

[@hollyv117]

Just took my bread out of the oven, followed your recipe; I added garlic, rosemary,and basil. I followed your method. I usually bake at 450, but decided to drop it down this time to 425 in a Dutch oven with a scoop of ice for 30 minutes. Finally got the oven spring I’ve been looking for. Bread looks phenomenal. Waiting for it to cool down to taste it. Thank you so much!

[@caciachew7058]

Hi, can I ask, at which point did you add the garlic rosemary and basil?

[@kamalzerrouki319]

I've always wanted to cook Sourdough Bread at home and I was afraid it won't work for me BUT after watching this video definitly I will do it without fear hehe i loved your method its encouraging to make sourdough at home 😍 thank you DINA ☺

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

You're welcome! I'm so glad you found this recipe helpful! Keep me posted on how it goes😊

[@MagdalenaAngie]

Your steps are very simple and I didn't feel overwhelmed trying it. My bread did not come out of the fridge as ballooned as yours looks. I'm hoping when I pop it in the oven it will rise to the occasion. 😃

[@johndriscoll7932]

Your video is so easy to understand. I will try my next bake with your recipe. I might have missed it but what is your room / dough temperature throughout the four hours of stretch and folds. If I can duplicate the same room temperature as your recipe, I will eliminate any variables for my dough.

[@michaelschue22]

Thanks so much for this simple recipe. The bread came out amazing! Is there an easy way to increase the sourness?

[@grahamdavidhobbs1304]

My Dear the cloth Hood( as you called it) that came with your proofing Basket is actually your proofing basket Liner. Needs to be placed in your basket and sprinkle some flour(of your choice ) onto it before placing your dough

[@nanettefox7044]

😂😂😂😂

[@faraabbasian]

it can have multiple purpose

[@foxyhoot4311]

ah! the mansplainer. No you can actually flour the banneton and place dough in WITHOUT the liner... I love the ring impressions it creates. Now you know more stuff😅😅😅

[@michaelpolicella2588]

Even easier. Mix ingredients well, place dough in an oiled container. Cover and let proof/ferment over night. Remove and form into ball using a few folds. Then drop into a Dutch oven at 425 for 40 mins followed by 10-15 mins lid off. For details see sourdough bread the lazy way.

[@boogywoogyloogy]

8:30 the cover that came with your banneton, you can use it as the bottom linen as well, that's how we use it and flour the linen and plop the dough inside to proof. It makes it super easy to get the dough out.

[@deborahtaylor4339]

If you use the top (as linen) in the bowl under the dough what did you then use as a cover please.

I know you made this video more than a year ago, I just started baking bread several months ago and going through KZbin trying several recipes. I came across this video and tried it, well 600 grams of flour was about 50 grams more than necessary, but then again I'm in Lubbock, TX, the panhandle area, "Go Texas Tech Raiders." Anyway, I was wondering if you've figured out that wasn't a cover for the proofing basket yet! Wondering if you tried putting it in the basket and flouring that well before putting your dough in there, just asking! I'll be trying more of your recipes soon, I'm about 2 hours from placing this one in the oven. Also, I'll be adding a couple ice cubes into the Dutch oven when I put the cover on and placeing it in the oven. Thanks...

Now to feed your starter before you put it away do you feed the sorry that you originally took your 50 g out of or do you feed the leftover 50 g of starter that you used in this recipe right now

[@Javaman92]

THIS sounds exactly like what I was looking for. My starter is ready for my first loaf and I'm thinking to start it tomorrow. We shall see! I have baked bread for years but never bothered with sourdough. I'm still not convinced. Time will tell.

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

I’d love to hear how the recipe turns out for you when you try it out!! 😊

[@Javaman92]

@@SimplyHomeCooked I honestly didn't think my starter was making it rise enough. The dough seemed too dense even after giving it more time. But, I figured I may as well put it in the oven and see what happens. I was surprised that it had a good rise and actually had crumb structure. So long story short, it actually came out well. 😀
