I'm a home baker that started this channel to simply share with one person who asked me to share my method on making sourdough (because she liked my oven spring). The response to that video has shocked me a little.
I have adapted some recipes and methods to suit me and my need for simplicity. In my videos I do not go into my history, talk endlessly, nor do I get into too much detail about the science of baking. There are already wonderfully detailed videos out there if that interests you. I am happy to make different types of videos if there continues to be a need for simplified explanations in baking. Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy!

How to make sourdough starter - step by step guide
Easiest and most effective (and economical) method to create a sourdough starter! I see so many people following starter recipes that are complex, expensive to maintain using multiple flours. It does NOT have to be difficult. I have created a step by step video tutorial where I create a starter (from scratch) right along with you. I even demonstrate the efficacy by making sourdough bread at the end! No need to keep an expensive rye starter, this one is very effective and more affordable because we are creating an all purpose flour starter.
When your starter is ready, try this easy and impressive sourdough bread method ua-cam.com/video/fMaFpO_CRiM/v-deo.html
That bread recipe is the one I use to make the bread that you will see at the end of this video. Thank you all for watching and I hope you find this video helpful! Happy baking everyone :)

I can’t seem to find any rice flour at any grocery stores..😢
@@jeannettecain7163 you can find it on Amazon or Bulk Barn
@ yes but they are all on strike. 🤦🏼♀️
@ well then try a specialty store. Or cornflour.
I,m looking for your boule shaping video ❤
@@susanlarose1751 Hi Susan! Just click on my name/bread icon and then click on view channel and then videos. You’ll see the others….including the boule shaping
I’m on day 7 and had to split my starter in two. I noticed after day 5 that the starter would develop a thin to thick crust. I wonder if it has to do with the environment. My house fluctuates between hot and cold because of the winter weather, and I’m having a tough time finding the right spot for the starter to thrive. I placed it in the oven with the light on, but I noticed there wasn’t much activity, so I moved it back to the counter. I’m struggling with this one and might have to scrap it and start over 😅
@@arttledsoulfindspeace No need to scrap it. Just keep it covered in the counter. There should not be a crust. What are you covering it with?
@@SarahLouReviews Okay! I've been covering it with an elastic cloth instead of a lid. Also, I forgot to mention that the water I use comes straight from the refrigerator; should it be at room temp? I've just been going for something other than my tap water. Thanks for your quick response! I watch that vid like 3 times a day lmao
@ Haha. Ok. Yes use some Saran Wrap or a lid like me. Put some filtered water out on the counter and let it stay at room temp. Sometimes when I take mine from the fridge I zap it in the microwave for about 20 seconds to warm it up a bit. You want it lukewarm or room temp. No need to put it in the oven. I did that video real-time. So what you see is exactly what happened to me. You using unbleached all purpose?
@@SarahLouReviews Oh okay good to know. I'll try the lukewarm water method. I've been using unbleached all purpose.
@ Perfect! Yes use Saran and follow the instructions exactly and it will work 😊👍🏻
Hi, thanks for making this video. Mine turned out gummy inside :( May I ask what kind of flour do you use ?
@@cindypajarillo8368 I use bread flour. Typically the reason you have gummy bread is it hasn’t proofed long enough. Let it sit on the counter until doubled
@ thank you ! I will try that for sure!
@@cindypajarillo8368 Keep me posted! Always better to accidentally overproof than to under proof. 😜
This is only my second time making sourdough. My first turned out pretty good, thanks to you! Hoping to improve from here.
I wonder if the bulk ferment is dependant on the tension created also??????🤔
I followed your video and just made my first loaf of sourdough bread and it is perfect. I'm very inexperienced at this too. Thanks!!!!!!!
@@gowest5145 I’m happy it helped 😊
What if I don't have a Dutch oven?
@@claypalmer9338 Put a cookie sheet on the bottom rack. Put your dough on another sheet and put in oven. Pour boiling water on bottom sheet and close the oven door. Then just lower temp to 450 after 20 min
if I have 8 hours of fermentation at 22 C between inoculation and fridge it gets really overproofed, I don't know how you can push it that long
@@ClaudioMartella I only have it in the fridge for a couple of hours. It usually takes 7 or 8 hours from the moment I mix everything. So if I start at 8 am, it is done with bulk ferment at 4 pm (ish) and then in the fridge for 2-4 hours. Comes out perfect 👌🏼
@@SarahLouReviews Right, that means 8hours of fermentation on the counter. If I try that, it comes overproofed :) Maybe I should reduce my starter
@ yes for sure. If your starter is super active, reducing to 50 g should help. Good luck!
My starter doesn't float? It smells sour and i fed it consistently for 10 days so not sure why it does not float? Any suggestions? What's wrong with it and how do i fix it so it floats?
@@janedoe3885 There are many things that can contribute to a starter that isn’t working. Eg. Water type, flour, not using a scale, etc. I have a starter video on this channel. It goes over every detail using an all purpose starter. Have a look at that and see if after watching it, you can see what the problem may be 👍🏻it also shows you how it looks, texture, timings, etc.
When you reduce heat from 500 to 450, did you leave lid off?
@@tanyafalin5191 the lid is removed 👍🏻
Found your site and have made two loafs. The second looks great with a good ear. My wheat needs work. I did leave it in the fridg over night. That you for sharing your recipe.
@@nikkicorrell2260 I’ll be posting one with whole wheat soon. Thanks for the comment!!
Question: do you keep the oven temperature at 500F after removing the lid?
@@kimlasavio No, I lower to 450. Make sure you put a cookie sheet on the bottom rack to prevent burning
Thank you much for this video, Sarah! I was wondering if I can use all purpose flour instead of bread flour. Please lmk, I am excited to try to make sourdough bread!
@@srisrijojo hi! Thank you 😊 if you live in Canada, yes you can. If you are in the US, I’ll need to know how much protein your all purpose flour has.
Can you tell me the temp of your dough please
@@mariajosegonzalez4333 I haven’t a clue. Sorry! I don’t measure the dough’s temperature
Sei bravissima! Sto imparando non parlo inglese e per me non è facile spero di farcela 👏👏👏🤗🇮🇹
@@silvanaflamminio6668 certo che puoi farlo! Se hai domande, fammelo sapere. userò google translate.
This has been a true lifesaver to me. If I want to make two loaves so I just double everything? Hopefully that’s not a dumb question but I wasn’t sure if doubling was the way to go. Thank you for the videos.
Thank you for this.😊
What did you do with the starter from the jar after you took some out please????
@@nicoletatsiolas537 I fed the remaining with flour and water. You can see in detail how I deal with a starter in another video in my channel. It’s the how to create a starter video. Describes every detail of maintaining and discarding and feeding etc
@ thank you 🙏
Hi Sarah! Your bread looks amazing and the instructions are straightforward and simple, which I love. I was wondering what size banneton and Dutch oven you used for this amount of dough? Thanks!
@@ozarkmountainhomegrown Thank you! 😊 I use a 10 inch banneton and my Dutch oven is 5 quart
@ thank you so much! 😊
@@ozarkmountainhomegrown You’re welcome!
è muito trabalho para fazer só pão
@@mariamelo7281 sim! Vale a pena. Também é divertido de fazer. 😊👍🏻
Why put in the fridge after shaping? Can you just leave on counter covered before baking?
@@joanneklug7665 This is called the cold fermentation step. It slows down the fermentation process and gives you more sourdough flavour. Also, it is easier to score 😊
This video helped me improve my gluten development hugely! Thanks!
@@alleaboylan7779 My pleasure! Glad you found it helped 😊
My pan only goes to 450 is it ok to do 450 vs 500? Do I need to Leave longer
@@TinaHenao Yep. 450 is fine. 20 min with lid on and 25 with lid off. 😊👍🏻
Omg thank you!!! Finally after months and months I finally got a good rise! Thank u for making this video ❤❤
@@TinaHenao I’m so happy for you 😊❤️ thanks for commenting!
What size is ur Dutch oven? Does it matter if the bread is 3/4 the size of the pan. Meaning the bottom of the boule doesn’t fill bottom?
@@TinaHenao Mine is a 5 quart size. And no it doesn’t matter. If you shaped it tightly it will go out and up. Make sure you score an across on the top of you are doing a boule. You’ll have better spring 👍🏻
@SarahLouReviews - also do you leave the lid off for the second bake or do you put it back on? And is the temp 500F for the whole bake? Thank you.
You are not shaping it twice? Preshape leave 20min and then final shape? Is what you do better?
@@kornelijamilosevic1687 No. I only do a preshape with a boule shape
@SarahLouReviews thanks. Is there a reason?
@ Yes, the boule shape needs to settle in and then be reshaped to tighten. Just a physics thing. The other shape is folded and rolled so it is easy to keep tight and hold its shape.
I’ve made 2 boules and 1 batard and they rose beautifully! However , the bottom was a wee bit scorched! Should I bake a little less or lower the temp?
@@feleciathiersch4674 Put one or two cookie sheets in the bottom rack. It won’t scorch again 😊👍🏻
@@SarahLouReviewsthanks - I’m baking a new boule this afternoon!
@@feleciathiersch4674 Good luck! Will be a big difference
What are your thoughts about like after you do your four stretch and folds and it's getting late can you just put your dough in the refrigerator and let it ferment in the refrigerator and then like 8 hours later take it out and then what do you do should you leave it out on the counter for a while since it was fermenting in the refrigerator I get confused with the fermenting and the proofing
@@jordanbrascia3483 I’ve done that before. But it takes longer the next day because it takes a while for the dough to come up to room temp. But it works. 😊👍🏻
I love the way your bread Rises so beautiful so round I know you said your starter is made with bread flour was the starter you used one to one to one it almost looks like you have yeast because your dough it gets so puffy even before you bake it it's so puffy and powdery it's so beautiful
@@jordanbrascia3483 Actually my starter is an Unbleached all purpose. I actually made a video and posted it on this channel where I make one from scratch. Same results. No added yeast 😊 promise!
Wow!! Just like so many others I just got my first oven spring following your directions! All my previous loaves have been dense little bricks. When I took the lid off after 20 minutes I could’ve cried of joy. It’s going to be hard to wait until it cools to see the final product! Thank you so much and God bless you ❤🙏
@@bmichellewg 😂 I understand that joy! I’m so happy for you. Enjoy your lovely bread ❤️
I’m on my third try right now. First two weren’t bad but I know I can do better. I’m following one recipe tonight and needed to watch a video with stretch and fold. But I didn’t put my salt in water, darn. I took my dough out of the bowl seems easier. I really hope I get it right this time, thank you for the tips.
@@gloriajeanliuzzo3162 Oh that’s a bummer about the salt! If I can give any piece of advice, it would be to make sure it is comically doubled before you shape it. Most people under ferment at the start. Also, shape it really tight 😊👍🏻 good luck
It Amazes me how long it took you to pour the water into that bowl. Wow!! Drip by Drip!!
@@gailcurl8663 🤷🏻♀️
I wrote all of the steps down after watching the video several times. I enjoy your easy style so much that I decided to do this. I am at the refrigerator stage. It is late 10:30 pm so two loaves will be in the refrigerator overnight. After about 10 attempts with other recipes, this recipe, with your help, is the first time I have had the joy of seeing bubbles in the dough! I didn’t pop them this time because I am too excited that I did it right finally. My only problem was that while shaping, the ends seemed just too dry to stitch up. I don’t think my dough is quite hydrated enough but the rest was quite sticky so why not the ends after I rolled the dough into a loaf to place into the bannaton? All the same, I am thrilled. Thank you so very much and I will try any recipe that you place on UA-cam.😊
@@Thai-Cooking Thank you for your lovely comment! I’m so happy it worked for you 😊 As for your shaping, I do have shaping videos on my channel that may help. I wish I could watch so I could help…but perhaps one of the shaping videos will solve the issue. Alternatively, perhaps shaping with little to no flour on the counter will help. Please let me know how it turns out ❤️
I’ve been watching videos for weeks and finally came across yours. Thanks so much for this video. I’ve started my loaf this morning.
How it turn out ?
It turned out great!!
Nicely done! I think it would have been easier if you used the shallow pan as the bottom and the tall pan as the lid. 😊
@@Qas22w Not for me 😊 too heavy to remove the huge base midway through the bake up and over the bread. . I find it earlier to remove the small lid.
🤷♀️ In watching various videos, it makes me curious how long the dough has been out of the fridge before going in to the oven. Does it get pulled out only once the Dutch oven is preheated and ready ?
@@Julie-kb3mo That is correct. When the dough goes in the oven it has only been out of the fridge about 5 minutes tops
@@SarahLouReviews 🩷
🥖 I'm going to try this ! I have a question ... Did you leaving the dough on the counter for the hour to hour and a half that your Dutch oven was heating ? Or should it stay refrigerated ?
@@Julie-kb3mo Stays in the fridge 👍🏻

Sto guardando tutti i tuoi video un pò alla volta sei molto brava!!! (spieghi benissimo) i miei pani non sono bellissimi come i tuoi spero di meglio un caro saluto dall'Italia 👏🤗🇮🇹
@@silvanaflamminio6668 Grazie! Consiglio: assicurati di rendere l'impasto molto compatto quando lo modelli. Inoltre, se il lievito madre è una novità per te, assicurati di lasciarlo raddoppiare prima di modellarlo. Spingi la fermentazione in massa più a lungo. ❤️ Spero che abbia avuto senso! lol
Beautiful loaf!!!! Thank you for such a great recipe and clear video!!! 💜

@@valworledge8460 Thank you 😊❤️
Surgical bouffant?
This video has been immensely helpful. I started my sourdough journey about a month ago, creating my own starter from scratch. Since everything was so new and intimidating, I started with a simple recipe. Both loaves turned out gummy (it could be due to my starter not being mature enough.) While the simple recipe helped me get started, I needed better technique and knowledge. I won't know the result until I bake my loaf tomorrow, but my dough is already looking better than before.
@@hebrews6915 I’m happy it is working for you! 😊👍🏻 you’ll only get better and better
I've now made four of your loaves. I love them but my Dutch oven is smaller than yours and the quantity used in your recipe means it isn't able to rise enough and have an ear like yours. So I've reduced the quantity slightly. This works. Could you please confirm the hydration % of your standard recipe so I can make sure the reduced quantity is the same. Thank you
Sorry for my late reply! Including starter, it is 73.5%
Good job!! What flour did you use?
Sorry for my delay in replying! I used Robin Hood bread flour and I use Great Valu best for bread flour
