How to Make Sourdough Bread | Easy Beginner Recipe 

It can definitely be a challenge when you’re first starting out! I’m still learning after years of making sourdough. I’m so glad this video was helpful for you! 😊

Well, the first one turned out great. I finally got a proper oven spring and a decent ear. It could have been better. I didn't preheat the dutch oven because I don't like a hard crust but I did add four small ice cubes. The crumb was delicious - soft, airy, slightly chewy. I made a grilled cheese. I just put a second loaf in the fridge. I used 347 grams of water this time. The dough was still so easy to work with. I cannot thank you enough for your recipe. This time I got a bigger rise and a more bubbly dough. These months of learning to shape from various content creators are finally paying off. I learned a lot from Claire Saffitz and Chef John but this recipe and method has been the one. I'm going to see how high a hydration I can use to see what happens. I have been doing my stretch and folds outside of the bowl as per Chef John, but the dough is so easy to work with, it's not an issue

Yes, I think that should work. Just be sure not to over mix. 😊

@@SourdoughandSuch Thanks, I'll watch for just a few rotations then. Cheers!

Thank you! 😊

Sourdough is a wetter dough, but it all works out to be a delicious loaf of bread. You just have to get used to working with it.
