How To Make Perfect Sourdough Bread At Home (Starter Included!) | By June 

which step are you in this process? We're the pent-up-aggression-slapping-mixing step

My starter is Clint Yeastwood.

Girl u lost me at “41 easy steps”. Imma still watch tho cuz June

Thank you so much for the recipe and video! My husband has been diagnosed with early onset dementia at age 59. Struggling with so much he just wanted to be good at something again.This made him an instant success at bread making-yay!

June is filling the deep well of sadness left by the Bon Appetit test kitchen implosion

MORE JUNE!!! MORE BREAD!!! MORE BAKING BY JUNE!!! please

Ok you, June, are just a natural!! You are so awesome on camera. These instructions actually make me believe I can finally make a bread that for once, isn't too dense! Thank you.

This is one of the best sourdough video.. she explains all the steps really well.. have made my bread 4 times... awesome job June.

Been a home baker for decades, but I always learn something new from a well produced, instructional video like this one. What a charming, delightful young lady. Lovely sense of humor too..."You don't want to eat bread without salt. Bread without salt tastes like...um...dirt." That was priceless! Thank you for this video. I will be a better baker because of it. And I am unlikely now to ever forget to add the salt! 💖💖💖💖👍👍👍👍

Bublé for the name of your starter

My starter is over 100 years in the making it was my grandmothers.

This process is PERFECT!!!! Thank you for saving me of all uncertainties with my experiment! All the best!

Thank you so much!! You are showing parts to the process than I have ever seen!!

LOVE June's personality and enthusiasm for her art of making sourdough

Every week for 3 years I made sourdough bread. My favorite thing to make with the leftovers were an endless variety of crackers. A couple of times I made melt in your mouth dinner rolls. And then I just quit. Watching this is tempting me..🤔

I like this video . I find it pulls me along and I can't stop watching

Hi June n everyone here. I'm a newbie to start my starter.. and I love love love this video, alot ! Tq June 🥰

Your starter should be named Easty Boi.

Am I the only one who lowkey likes the videos at her home more. Feels more real. I watched like one of her videos and now I can’t stop watching lmaoao

Theres nothing more peaceful than your voice 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Been making some flat sourdoughs and went through different vids, but this one is the best yet! June 💪🏻

Sourdough bread has been the bain of my baking existence until I found this recipe which morphed me into sourdough queen!

"i love getting baked" my high ass is dead lol

Tiny regrets, big tears, dramatic moments needs to be on a tshirt!!!

Ahh come on, we can find ONE more step to make it 42! Then we can really call it the answer to "Everything" bread!

I have baked some that I almost could not cut!! I have started over!!

Why would anyone give a thumbs down to this video? I just don't understand people. Please enlighten us to what the objection is about.

I'm on loaf number three, I wish I had seen this video before number one. One thing I do differently is use parchment paper. You're dose certainly did not seem sticky for an 85% hydration.

I will try this because it looks great and tasty, cheers chick, Lorraine Lincolnshire England

My starter is called Larry, he is 25y/o, I was so lucky to be gifted him last year. Sourdough bread is delicious

I'd like to know how June feels every time this editor overlays "east" every time she says yeast?

My starters name is Spartacus...hes a beast🥰🥰

I love watching your videos June!!

June: You don't want to eat bread without salt, it tastes like dirt. Tuscany: 👁 👄👁

Absolutely wonderful video. Thank you.

Nothing about 41 steps sounds easy. Lol

June this was a great step by step, I always learn something new or different when I watch someone else make bread ... wonderful loaf

Well done explaining every step of the process. I too have a love affair with bread...Excellent video.

Thanks for the recipe Delish and June! This is about one of the best sourdough recipes I've found on RU-vid, because you guys literally explain the "why" behind every step, and don't just tell people "this is what you do." It's so much more common sense. Much appreciated!

Have watched many bread making video's. This is the only one that the bread was fab first time, slow, relaxed,no hard kneading,wow sourdough bread. Thank you June.

Eh there: I've always loved bread and of course ended up numerous times attempting to make my own. There were times it ended up tasting good and close to perfect in taste and consistency. There were also times when it tasted good but was really only good as door stopper. Fortunately I still even in old age have excellent teeth. Of course I have looked at the internet for inspiration and/or guidance and there certainly is good stuff out there. I have so far not used your little video to guide me through the process but I will do that. Meanwhile I would like to tell you that your bread making video in my opinion beats every instruction type of video I have ever watched ( like how to catch walleyes, how to repair a chain saw, how to replace your weed wacker carburetor etc.) Your video is great and totally refreshing entertainment. Thanks

I love that she’s obsessed with bread because same here, I think bread is the best thing ever made in the whole world 🥖❤️

I love watching June as much as my fav chefs at the Bon Appétit test kitchen. Her humor would fit right in!

You are great to watch on camera, after watching 20 sourdough videos for tips this was my favorite. Well done.

"Only after you SELF-DESTRUCT can you be born again!" WOW! That sounds deep... spiritually.

June should start posting on her channel I’m sure everyone her would watch her!❤️

Question: When you remove the bread from the refrigerator in the morning do you let it come to room temp...or go right to the dutch oven?

I named my starter Bob... so. It is nice to be able to say "ok I just have to feed Bob"

I scored " 六月，我爱你！ 嫁给我！" into my sourdough loaf. While it was unreadable after baking, I firmly believe it's still worthy of a collective "Awwwwwwe, that gesture was soooooo sweet" from those who understand simple Chinese or have access to a good online translation site.

Thank you looks very nice and yummy

Guys your starter will really probably take about 5 - 7 days. Do what June says where you take out half then re-add what you originally put in. I recommend a larger container for your first time instead of a mason jar. After the first 50/50 mix, wait at least 2 days then feed it every 12 hours until you can visibly see the bubbles and rise. Also this seems like a lot but it’s really not. Just a lot of waiting and it’s worth it for fresh bread. If you want to flavor the bread do it on the first bowl mix. Herbs or dry seasoning make for some interesting and tasty loaves. good luck!!

EXCELLENT instructor! And you have good people skills also.

If you had said 42 steps I would not have watched !

The best sour dough starter and bread recipe ever. Love the way you explain it so well and in detail. Thanks much, ill try it soon.

How about ur starter name is mrs yeast

I never knew it takes so much time and effort to make sourdough bread! OMG!! I love how you can appreciate the lives of yeast. You are incredibly funny and cute!

The plastic shower caps that you can get in hotels are also ideal bowl covers for yeast dough.

Thank you, June! My first time to make a starter and first time to make a sourdough loaf. I followed your recipe, pretty much to a tee, and it turned out “Delish!”

June is a cool ass human. Way to pave the way on comedy based philosophical baking/cooking lessons. I'll be looking for more! Thanks for inspiring me to start my baking/cooking journey. Thanks to the camera/editing gal too 👍

I did it!!! I did it!!!!!!!!!

It's so depressing to see that June is not in Delish anymore. What happened? Please tell us. We want her back. 😭❤

You should name the starter "Frankenstein's monster." Because IT'S ALIVE!

I don't have it often but I do love sourdough. Excellent demo...very fun to follow. 👍 Starter names? Junior is too obvious for reasons but if June is a Queen fan, I'd go with Bready Mercury. 😀

The "41 steps..." title is a little frighting, but the video explains it too well and is as entertaining as possible. Amazing video!

Loved this video, I’ve seen a few on sourdough and it looks incredibly intimidating. My daughter gave me a starter. Few days ago. So I am totally totally new to this. Baked a lot of bread over the years but no sourdough. Question when do you use the sourdough from your starter to bake, like at what point after you feed it can you use it. Love your quirky humour ❤️

Pet name for starter: Fido spelled Fidough.

“41 easy steps” This has to be satire

You actually add a lot of joy to watching you prepare sourdough!! What joy!!❤️

Can't do it in the desert. Makes me so sad

ohhh girl ! when you said the process takes time, my hungry self didn't think it would be days >.

My mouth is watering.....now I have to go to the bakery, cuz I’m not waiting 2 days to have bread lol

Darn...I made one big mistake. I converted 400 grams of flour to U.S. Cups and came up with a tad over 3 cups. You mentioned 80% hydration so based on 3 cups of flour that equals 2.4 cups of water; however I didn't convert grams of water to cups...which equals only approx 1.44 cups....so I fought my sticky dough to the bitter end. It did come out very good anyway..with lots of aeration. Love the video and the great tips...very helpful. AND...i didn't download or copy your recipe, until now, which gives the conversions to cups.

Oh! And the name of my starter is Needy (kneady) 😏

flour water salt and patient 🎀🎀 3 days on making sourdough..

tiny regrets big tears is a big mood

New to making sourdough - this is the first tutorial where the preshape/shaping stage didn't make me want to jump off a high bridge. Thanks! Enjoyed beating the dough up a bit as well.

Oh my god this is the best step-by-step video explaining on how to bake the perfect sourdough bread perfectly! I love how June is very thorough in explaining bits and bits of every lil thing and i cannot wait to bake my very own, first sourdough bread ever!

Excellent job. ..u broke down the process beautifully. ..and u seem like a real character. ..subscribed!

June is giving *the most* Juno feelings

This is one of the most informative and entertaining sourdough videos on RU-vid. And I have watched many tutorials by professional chefs/bread makers. None of them were as entertaining as June ❤️

Mine call Sally ( liquid ), another call Gaby ( my stiff starter / pm )😝😝😝😝

Turning your proofed dough first onto a piece of parchment paper, score the dough on the counter, then use the parchment to carefully transfer the dough can simultaneously prevent sticking and prevent burning your hands while trying to score the bread inside the dangerously hot Dutch oven!

Thanks, June, Your movements are fluid and true to your craft. As an oaf, I was still able to sort of keep up with you. On my third sourdough round and I have picked up a lot from this video. Mostly that you reinforced my fart rule around relationship-building:)

You're a great teacher. I just found your channel and love your teaching skills

OMG you are hilarious. Thank you for this amazing tutorial!

Can this method of folding the dough and letting the gluten develop over time be used for bread that uses active dry yeast?

You can get kerry gold in America? It's irish. ..one of my favourites too 😆

that bread is beautiful!!!

Where has June been all my life, I just found out about this channel and love it!!!!

June, I got tired just watching you make this loaf of bread! It was definitely a labor of love! I have never made bread besides in the bread machine and that does most of the work.

41 easy steps 😬 *goes to Panera and buys a sour dough loaf*

Makes me feel Bored, It takes almost forever But it really paid of the waiting I love how detailed u make the process... Bravo june👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 More please🤗

June is the reason why I've started watching Delish. She's so entertaining to watch!
