Success! Sourdough in the Bread Machine 

1 1/3 cups water, 2/3 cup starter, 2 1/2 teaspoons salt, splash of olive oil, 500 gms flour ❤

This lady is amazing. She doesn't waste time on things don't matter or confuse people. No crazy folding techniques, no chemistry 99% passing grade needed. I can't wait to try it this weekend. Great job.

You are an EXCELLENT teacher! I’ve been watching sourdough videos for a couple months and you answered so many questions I had that no one else had addressed so clearly. Like stirring the starter down before putting it in the recipe. No one has said that in all the many videos I’ve watched. Thank you so much 😊

I love sourdough, but I don’t have a bread maker so make it by hand. I normally do a 24 hour ferment. I put it in the fridge over night in the basket with shopping bag. There are so many ways to make sourdough and I love seeing all of them. Thanks so much Pam and Jim. 🇨🇦🌷

This has nothing to do with sourdough.’’ I didn’t know how to reach out to you to let you know how you have impacted my life! I was not canning correctly, I found you, don’t know how but you have taught me sooo much! ! I’m printing off your bread book now as well as the sister book and I’m crying because you have taught me how to feed my love ones if need be and everything else! Thank you so much and keep doing what you do. You have touched my life more then I can express in words… THANK YOU!

After many years of waiting, I have just bought a bread machine. I am filled with excitement to bake sourdough in it. ❤

You make everything look so easy - so organized and "put together"!

Bought and printed your new bread book yesterday and it looks wonderful. Thank you so much for all you do!!!

Wow, thank you for sharing your decades of experience with us on RU-vid.

That loaf of sourdough was picture perfect! I have a new starter that is almost ready to use and I'm looking forward to trying your recipe. Thank you for always walking us through each of your videos in an interesting and educational way!

How refreshing and informative your videos always are! Thank you so much!

Thank you again for some Wonderful information and teaching ! You are the only channel I watch every video that you do! I have learned so much and appreciate all the time you give us ! 🥰

Absolutely wonderful❤ An elegant and gorgeous lady baking a master piece bread❤

Wow! I am so thankful I found your videos. Thank you so much for teaching me .

Hi "Rose", I commented on your video where you reviewed your Bread Machine because I was so happy to see it! I bought the same bread machine but simply didn't have the time to get around to trying it out. But watching your video helped jumpstart me! However, the reason I bought the bread machine is because the woman in the kitchen store demonstrating it said you could use it to make sourdough. Yay!! I love sourdough, so I was sold! And now that you have demonstrated using your bread machine to make sourdough, I am so excited to to watch you do this experiment. Thanks so much for all you do!! As I mentioned in my other comment, I love how scientific you are!! Love, Mary

Wow, you make it look so easy. Thank you!!

Well done video. Very straightforward and the results speak for themselves.

I have been trying to make sourdough bread for a while now, probably about a dozen loaves, with mixed success. I keep trying different recipes and videos but I learned so many things in this one that I had never seen explained before. I have never used my bread machine for sourdough and I will try it right now but even if it fails, thank you for all the new things I have learned.

Thank you for another great video. And yes, the plates are great.

I just purchased, "Baking Bread for Survival & Enjoyment" and I am so excited to get started, baking bread. 😊❤

Best complete video ❤! Thank you 😊.

That bread looks delicious and as I would not be able to do any of it by hand, I would be very content with how I imagine this turns out from the machine. Thank you for doing all that you do and sharing which will certainly make our efforts more successful.

Such a pleasant video to watch and listen to. Straight to the facts and no dilly dallying. Love that. Thank you! New subscriber for sure!

Lovely bread! I'm excited to give it a try, you simplify the process and explain it throughout the way. I get it, thanks! 😘

Wow, thank you so much, I was gerting frustrated because there is so much information in RU-vid about soursough starter and bread recipe but your explication was the only that succed. I wish could send you a picture of mu bread. So grateful. Greets Michoacán, México.

Another great tutorial!!!!❤

That loaf looks wonderful. Everyone likes my yeast bread. So I dehydrated my starter and packed it away in case some wants some later. Thank you. God Bless and stay safe.

Thank you. Love your videos. You are the perfect teacher in giving detailed instructions. God bless you and your family. I would like to know how to do a starter.

You amazed me once again ! Not your knowledge & skills this time, but the fact that you played with flour while wearing a dark top !!! And, did not get any on your top! Amazing ! Also, appreciate the sharing of your expertise. I am still building up courage to begin a starter. Thank you. jjs

Thank you so much. You just helped me solve a couple issues with my manual process.

Wonderful video rose! I will be making mine next week!!

OMG so glad to hear from So glad I found you! I made my dough in my bread machine. You saved y KitchenAid It overheats doing the sourdough mixing. I want a Nutrimill but I have to save up for it.Thanks for sharing.

Making my first sourdough bread with my daughter. Currently, working on the starter. This video is a great start for us, thank you!!!

Great video! I will definitely try this method because I made sour dough bread a few times all by hand and it took forever.. this seems like it gives a great final result with way less work!

We were hoping to use bread machine for baking, not mixing as that only takes a few minutes. We do a long proof/ferment in refr overnight (really helps with scheduling) then bake. Hoping for more success with the Machine using my WW n Seeds recipe. Thanks for another great instructional vid. Retirement agrees with you, Dr Pam; you look gorgeous!

Thank you so much for all the work you do to bring us such wonderful information! The bread looks beautiful and so do you! 😊 I paid $7 for a similar, but smaller, loaf..not paying attention to the price until I got home..and I said never again..I need to make my own!

Thank you for this video - I have the same bread machine and have been looking for a simpler sourdough recipe that doesn't involve a cold fermentation! Going to try it this weekend!

Busy mom, in grad school, working full time. I used to make yeast bread by hand but i do not have time. I got a bread maker and now can make bread for myself and my family easily. I appreciate this as I am just starting sourdough. I know if I can get some help in from the bread machine I am more apt to do it! Thank you! The comments in the background from your husband is too cute!

Thanks! I have my first sour dough starter ready and no Dutch oven but have an old bread machine from my aunt I never used. The recipe I have will take 8 - 12 hours from mixing to slicing! Hoping for something quicker or I will do my second rise in fridge over night. I grind my own wheat berries and am using hard white for this. I use soft white for pancakes with half buckwheat. Just getting into growing, canning and bread making.

Thanks for your video. NIce to see you did not add any yeast at all just starter. Looks like a great loaf of bread as well.

I am so glad I saw this video, I am going to try the bread machine for my sourdough bread. It has been in my fridge for a while. It has been a very hot and humid summer, we have had trouble with ants and nates but it is starting to cool down now so I got it back out and fed them. I also started a friendship bread starter. I am getting ready for fall. Can't wait to start baking my breads again.

My Sourdough loaf looks just like yours! I'm so happy! I think I missed a step after the dough cycle. I removed the dough very gooey and put it in a bowl to rise. After it rose in the bowl I poured it into my pre-heated dutch oven (I think mine's larger than yours) so I put a thick cake pan in the bottom, lined it with a long sheet of parchment for easy removal. Voila, the top "bloomed" as you said. The crumb is beautiful. Thank you. We will be traveling to Oregon with a small travel trailer. Now I know I can bake bread with my Dutch Oven on the road (using coals of course). Thank you. Delicious bread.

beautiful teaching

Would love to see you do a video on dehydrating and rehydrating your starter to be able to store.

After watching another bread baker on youtube, I have purchased an electric knife for all my bread slicing ... it's a game-changer! Nice and even slices with little effort on my part. :) Your sourdough loaf is beautiful! I so enjoy watching your videos! :)

My goodness. I don't need to be tempted to head into the kitchen at 11:30 pm and start baking bread! LOL. Looks delicious!!

Tfs! I could almost smell the bread baking 😊

Another great video.

Your bread looks delicious and beautiful. Thank you for sharing.❤

I'm new to sourdough breads. Thank you so much. This is a great video!!

Absolutely fantastic 🎉

What a lovely loaf of bread! I’m going to try the flower today! (Although I do enjoy getting artistic with the Lam! 😂) Your sourdough tutorials have been helpful for me! Thank you.

It’s beautiful.

Such a beautiful bread 🤩🤩🤩

I worked very hard to make sourdough starter. Went thru a ton of flour. I was told if you get hootch it had gone bad and to toss it. Now I find out you can just pour it off. Grr- will start another batch as I had given up because I don’t like to waste that much flour.

WOW! What a great recipe. I tried it - fantastic. I use bread recipes from "Brilliant Bread Making in your Bread Machine", using a Sunbeam machine..... the sourdough recipe there is meh..... I love the use of the dutch oven and the concept of 'steaming' the bread while baking, before the final browning. I used starter only, no yeast.... it took 24 hours to rise!!!!! well worth the wait. The starter comes from the above mentioned book. From now on, I'll use the machine in the dough setting, rise and bake in the dutch oven. Thanks again! I'll definitely be checking out your other bread making videos.

I love the bread machine dough cycle. I use it all the time.

What a great video!

Turned out beautifully. I only use starter and I let mine sit overnight.

The bread machine has been a game changer for me! I will continue to use it

I will definitely use my bread machine in the summer time. But it's almost Thanksgiving, so I'll use my oven. I bought a cast iron loaf pan with a lid, on Amazon, so I can have normal sized slices for sandwiches. My first attempt failed, but I'm pretty sure that was me, not my pan... I have my second attempt in the refrigerator right now, hopefully developing flavour.

I love your new dishes. Very cheerful! I am a sourdough starter murderer! It always starves through neglect but you have encouraged me and commercially made s/d has tripled in price here in our part of Wales. My breads are all cooked in the Dutch oven. I did try a bread maker, but never liked the results.

Sourdough is generally moist enough you can freeze a loaf or boule, and eat on the other. Just be sure to thaw at room temp until it is thawed clear through before getting into it. You might loose a bit of crustiness....but beats starting at the beginning when you are on the trail, or vacationing and have a full day planned and you can't 'breadsit' every couple of hours....

Cute dishes!

During Covid i learned how to make Sourdough bread….(and Kefir !)……for the first time…….i was hoping you would not burn yourself when you placed the dough into that very hot Dutch oven……i put a piece of parchment on top of the banneton and invert it on the counter…..score the bread and then you can pick up the parchment with the bread on top and lower it into the hot Dutch oven…….i actually pull the sliding oven grate out , remove the lid, and place the bread dough into the pan……it is the best bread ever !!!!! Thanks for showing us your technique!…..

Very cute and I love costco

That looks scrumptious! But we never heard Jim’s verdict 😂

Thank you Pam, for your sourdough recipe to use in the breadmaker! After watching your video about the Cuisinart, I bought one too! I’ve made French bread in it, but wanted to do sourdough, just like you…taking it out of the bread maker & finishing it by hand & baking it in my cast iron Dutch oven. I know you said you’d be doing sourdough by hand from now on, & I might be too. But, I wanted to give it a try anyway. When I watched you making French bread in your breadmaker, you mentioned doing sourdough. So I’ve been waiting for your recipe so I could use it. (I certainly didn’t want to use the Cuisinart’s recipe!) So thank you again! And, Jim too! You’ve taught me so much & I love watching your videos, even though I can’t always see them when they’re first out. 😊

I'm terrible about feeding it myself. Picked up from the Elliot Homestead channel which she got from another website on doing a dry starter. It's like bread dough in consistency but you don't have to feed it but every 2 or 3 weeks. Also make with extra sugar for the yeast. Been doing that, seems to work pretty good.

Thank you. I have the very same machine and I am convinced you can do useful stuff with it. Their recipe book is a joke, though. There should be more videos like this. However, to be fair, you do everything outside the bread machine except the initiatl mixing.

Make sure to freeze dry some so you have it to start again once you forget it!

good video, this gal knows her stuff

Thank you very much

Yeeeessss. No extra yeast! It's a kind of cheating :) Your bread looks as a piece of art . I can imagine this delicious smell. Great work!

Love your backsplash. Just beautiful. My granite is so cold it is a heat sink. I place bread bowl on wooden cutting board or heavy folded towel. Much faster rise. Sourdough bread looks amazing.

I am super new to baking with sourdough. In this recipe what kind of flour did you use? It looks like either unbleached all purpose or bread flour…. Thank you for these videos, they’re incredibly helpful for beginners!!

Just found your channel and subscribed.

Thanks for testing out

Thanks for the tips and tricks. I know every home is different but about how long did you proof it for

Hoping you heal well from your dental appointments. And that starter….perfection!

Beautiful

Great video, how do you get a soft crust? Ty

i have chronic problems with my wrists and kneading bread isn't always possible for me. thank you so much for showing how to make a more traditional sourdough boule with help of the bread machine! i have the same machine and tried the recipe included in the recipe book and it was truely awful. your version utilizes the bread machine for the steps i need help with without sacrificing quality.

Walmart stores had something similar to those melamine dishes during summer😀

I don't want tangy just like regular dough. Thank you I am adding yeast I want it like reg bread. I got dough enhancer to add.

I think there is an error in the video. As I am in Europe I prefer using g, especially with something as hard to measure by volume as Starter. You said to add 500g of flour then on-screen the caption said 3 3/4cups or 540g. I Googled it to check and most people say that 500g is 4 cups so that is close enough but 540g would be way too much. EDIT: OK maybe I should have gone by the Caption as after the dough cycle it was so sticky that it was unworkable. I have added an extra 40g and started the dough cycle again.

Temperature of a starter also plays in the "tanginess" The warmer the air temp you have your sourdough in, often the "tangier" the starter is. You may notice that , when you purchase starters, the ones noted from hot weather countries tend to be "tangier".

I’m a home bread baker making yeast and sourdough breads. I make my sourdough by hand since it takes at least 4 hours to bulk ferment before shaping, the reason a bread machine can’t be used. Not sure if you added extra time after the dough cycle for fermenting, which is only 1 1/2 hours. I don’t see the recipe for this anywhere, even on your website.

I tried this yesterday and I wasn’t sure if the bread machine has only one knead cycle for the dough only setting. I left mine in there for 3. Maybe I should have taken out after one. It did come out pretty good but didn’t have all the air pockets!

Place the dough on parchment. Lift the parchment and place in the hot pan. No getting burned. Just make sure the parchment isn't sticking out from under the lid. I bake at 450 lid on 30 mins, then from 5 to 15minutes more until the level of brown has been reached.

Picture perfect loaf of sourdough bread! :-)

Hello: I have noticed the wood bread slicer you have. Do you like that one and where can I get one like that? Thanks, Jeff

Every time I watch your bread videosi want 2 make bread! But I have to wait till the kitchen remodel is done. Which hopefully will be n a month.

Where is the butter I’m ready to sample. My husband and mine best bread. Thank you so much

Do you have a video on how you season your cast iron?

That bread looks perfect & delicious. Would you please tell me what type of Dutch Oven is that? Is that Cast Iron?

I neglect my starter terribly and was so surprised to hear that you can actually kill it. I try to keep my jar if starter near the front of the refrigerator shelf where I can see it. I'd like to say I feed it regularly but lately, I've been feeding it when it crys (gets a layer of liquid on top). If it gets shoved to the back of the shelf, it gets forgotten. Another thing I do if I have a really robust discard, I'll smear some (really thinnly on a silicone pad or waxed or parchment paper) and let it dry. I place these dried shards of starter in a zippered bag into the freezer. Now I have a dried starter that I can rehydrate if I do actually kill mine. 💖🌞🌵😷

I do the same that you did and leave it over night for a long ferment and bake in oven next day 👍 it can be done

Could it not be final proofed overnight in the banneton basket, and still get the full sourdough flavor as the original way? That’s my plan today, going to start in later afternoon! Thanks for all you both do! 😊

I love this! I have the exact same bread machine. My question is are you taking the dough out after the second rise and skipping the 3rd rise that is part of the #8 cycle? Mine comes out pretty stiff but I have left the dough in for the entire cycle
