Thank you for making this video sir. I'm from Australia & was given a Römertopf clay baker as a wedding present 41 years ago. Had no idea how to use it, as there was no internet back then of course. You have done such a great job of explaining how to do this sough dough bread. I just hope I can find where to buy the starter, but I'm sure I'll find it somewhere on the internet. I can't wait to try this! It looks AMAZING 😊
You're so kind to reply the way you did. You can make your own starter simply by mixing flour and water. I have a video on my channel demonstrating how to make your own starter. Welcome to the sourdough addiction.
Delicious!!
Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for watching my videos.
That’s a ton of stirring. Looks like it’ll b quite chewy.
Very delicious, and the crumb was as soft as angel food cake. Thanks for watching my videos.
Will you please try the trivet without the pizza stone? I don't have a pizza stone and my hubby will get pretty mad if I buy another kitchen item so soon
I will try! Thanks for watching my videos.
Just found your video, nice job but it would have been much easier to follow and understand if you would have nariated as you were doing things, You fed your starter but you didn't give the weight of the starter, does it matter? I could follow it since you weren't saying anything. If I wanted to leard how to do this not watch some guy mix ingrediants and listen to music. C for effort
Thanks for watching my videos. The weight of the starter doesn't really matter. I use whatever is called for in a recipe. I have a jar of starter, but don't pay much attention to 'how much' is in the jar. My 2-loaf recipe calls for 200 gr of starter, so I feed my jar of very little starter, 100 gr of flour and 100 gr of water. Once the starter doubles in volume, I remove 200 gr for my 2-loa recipe.
I know this is off topic, but I don't know where to ask this. Sorry in advance! Have you ever done the sourdough with inclusions of Cheddar & Jalapeno? Do you have a demo of that?
There is a sourdough video I did with inclusions on my UA-cam channel. The inclusions are cinnamon and raisins, but is applicable to any inclusions. Thanks for watching my videos.
Thank you! So helpful!
Glad it was helpful, and thanks for watching my videos.
I just watched your video about baking bread in the Romertopf clay baker and I subscribed almost immediately. I own an unglazed Romertopf from Breadtopia (just like yours) except for the glaze. I'm NOT a new sourdough baker - just new to this method. You helped me so much. Thank you and I'm really excited about your demos, videos and tips for baking in the Romertopf!! 🍞👍
Glad you like my videos. Happy baking.
Greetings from the UK! Great recipe. I was introduced to the Romertopf by my wife who is German. Now I have 2 so I can bake 2 loaves at the same time with 1 kilo of dough. I don’t normally take mine out of the clay pots at the end to brown them all round but will try that today. Also I only soak the top half of the pot (the unglazed part). Is it really necessary to soak the other half as well? Might need a bigger kitchen sink/kitchen! Thank you again
Thanks for your comment. I live in the US now, but spent a couple of years around Bristol, many years ago. Probably not necessary to soak the bottom if it is glazed, but if not glazed I would oak the bottom.
Thank you. I’ve been taking the loaves out of the pots after the first hour of baking as per your recipe then giving it another 12 or 15 mins - has revolutionised the crusts - thank you.
I just made this and the bread turned out awesome! Thank you for an easy to follow recipe and great video!
Thanks for your kind words, and thanks for watching my videos.
@@rontressler647 You are most welcome! By the way, have you ever frozen this bread dough to bake at a later time? If so, any thoughts/suggestions to share?
Good to know Ron. Where would I find a trivit like yours?
I've had several trivet's for several years, and don't remember where I got them from. The Bosch Kitchen Center has lots of kitchen items, as does Walmart, etc. Thanks for watching my videos.
I’m going to try this soon!
You will love it. This fall at camp, I made it each week for 7 straight weeks, (new group each week) and everybody raved about it.
Ron, I am learning a lot from you. I am a beginner sour dough baker. I am going to change my feedings to the flour combo you use. One question. Do you need to let the flour mixture come to room temperature before adding it to the starter?
I keep my flour mixture in the freezer, and use it straight from the freezer to the mixing quart jar. Welcome to the sourdough addiction.
The mother doesn't need to be at room temp to feed? I also watched another video...need tips on use and care of banneton....for my first use of mine, my dough was a bit sticky i guess, even with flour,cit stuck to the banneton
I like your low tech style and simplicity.
Thanks for your kind words, and thanks for watching my videos.
Thank you! Your video has been the only one that made sense to me, i finally got it thanks to u.
Thank you. I’ve learned a lot. Now I understand the steam vs Dutch oven. Do I buy the “shower cap” from the drugstore or a restaurant/cooking store for food grade…
I think any shower cap will do. Thanks for watching my videos.
Hello Again! Ron, just out of curiousity what temp do you set your Brod-Taylor proofing box for your starter? I cannot seem to get my starter as thick as yours appears to be! Your Craisinn loaf is autolyseing as we speak!! My favorite bread!
82' F is the temperature I most often use in my Brod Taylor. Thanks for watching my videos.
I to have enjoyed this method thanks for the tutorial.
You’re welcome 😊, and thanks for watching my videos.
your bread looks amazing , Thank you, What do you mean by "REDUCED BREAD PAN RECIPE" and what is the size of your loaf pans, Please,
Loaf pans are 5' x 9", at the top edge. They are cast iron, and made by Camp Chef. My normal recipe is 900 g bread flour, 600 g water, 200 g sourdough starter, 20 g salt. The 'reduced' recipe reduces the ingredients by 10% to more easily fit in the bread pans. Thanks for watching my videos.
I cut the paper, I find that the paper will prevent proper browning.
Thanks for responding. My bread still browns using parchment paper.
Thanks!
Thank you for watching my videos.
I bought 2 Lodge bread pans. How do I clean it before first use?
Treat like any other cast iron. For the first time only, I usually give it a mild soap and warm water scrubbing, then completely dry, then rub in light oil film, then use.
I am so glad I found this video. I’m new to the sourdough life. I don’t have a Dutch oven not this type of clay baker, but I do have a Pampered Chef deep covered stoneware and It has been hard to find information about baking in this particular clay pot. My first loaf had a very hard bottom crust 😩. For my second loaf, I followed the baking instructions from your video and it worked perfectly! Now I’m just waiting on the dish and oven to get back to cold so I can start again with my second loaf…I think I’ll stick to a single recipe until I get myself another cooking utensil.
Welcome to the sourdough addiction, and thank you for watching my videos.
What that red thing with wings you use to lift the loaves into the Dutch oven?
It's a bread sling, and there are many variations of it. It sure makes it easy to lift the bread in and out of the dutch oven. Thank you for watching my videos.
Hi Ron, I really enjoyed watching your video's. Easy to understand, and informative. I am still trying to get a starter that won't die. Thanks
Thanks for your kind words. Watch my video on my channel, BABY STARTER, where I demonstrate making a new starter beginning with pineapple juice. I've 'met' so many nice people through my videos. I hope to soon starter making weekly videos again.
I’ve had a clay pot for years that I never used for making bread. I’ve been using my Dutch oven. Can’t wait to use my clay pot. Do I need to soak it in water? What happens if I don’t soak it?
I've always soaked mine, but I imagine you can bake without soaking. Be careful, as the pot is clay and can become brittle with intense heat. Thanks for watching my videos.
I love the seeds and will add this to my next loaf. FYI.. its best to use glass to store water because the plastic leaches harmful ingredients. And non-organic flour has glyphosate.
Thanks for the info! And thanks for watching my videos.
I bake my sourdough in a Romertopf as well BUT I don't use any parchment. Bread just falls out of the baker when turned over. I do soak then spray the baker with cooking spray and then put the dough in it.
Thanks for your comment, and thanks for watching my videos.
I made your recipe for the 2nd time today, it worked again! I turned your 2 loaf recipe into 4 sandwich loaves and they came out perfectly. On two of them I catered to my wife's preference and used 40% whole wheat (I'll try more next time). To be honest, before I tried your recipe a couple of weeks ago I was on the verge of throwing my starter into the compost bin and going back to yeast bread. Thank you!
Thanks for watching my videos. On my UA-cam channel, I have a video demonstrating sourdough bread with 50% whole wheat flour.
Your video gave me the courage to try my clay baker that I got at a second hand store. I followed your instructions and my bread came out beautifully. I am new to sourdough bread making, about 2 months, and this is the first I’ve not used whole wheat flour (which I prefer). Do you have any recommendations for making a whole wheat sourdough in the clay baker? Thanks so much for this post. I so appreciate learning from your experience.
On my UA-cam channel, I demonstrate 50% whole wheat flour. It was the best tasting sourdough bread I've ever baked.
I have recently embarked on this sourdough bread journey, and this is my third set of slings. I like these by far the best. The area for the dough is the largest. The sling is wider, and the handles are open, which is so much easier to use. This accessory simplifies the transfer of dough into and out of a hot Dutch oven. It deserves to be recommended: bom.so/0XWl8z
I love it 🥰🥰🥰
Thank your Ron, you answered all my questions.
You're welcome, and thanks for watching my videos.
Great video, did you soak the clay pot lid before baking in it?
I did not soak the clay pot in this video. I have another video showing that I did soak a Romertopf clay pot.
I have two Romertopf that I use all the time. I bake in a Breville countertop oven and they fit in the oven just right. Thanks for your video. BTW... in the late 60's I used my Romertopf as a planter...very popular back then 😂
Thanks for sharing. And thanks for watching my videos.
😂
Thanks so much for the video!!!!
You're welcome, and thanks for watching my videos.
Many thanks. Your demonstration is very informative and easy to follow. Can we add and combine the seeds right after the last coil fold then follow the rest of the steps aiming not to deflate the dough after being shaped and left for couple of hours for proofing before transferring it to cold proofing?
You could add inclusions any time after all folding. Thanks for watching my videos.
I got a clay roaster and I start with cold bread in a cold oven. I bake @450 for 1 hr and it’s perfect.
Thanks for the info, and thanks for watching my videos.
Hi Ron , rhanks for all You do. I Have learned so much here. I have made your sourdough bread like 10 times. As I mix the 4 ingredients, I end up with more lumps than You and end up with a denser mix. Same as I do the coil and fold, my dough is denser. It could be the flour. Should I increase the hydration at 650g for ex and try instead of 600g? Tha ks for your time!
Increasing the water may help some. However, I eliminate the lumps during the first stretch and fold after mixing. During the first s&f, I take extra time to keep feeling the dough, looking for any unhydrated flour. Sometimes I'll use a water spray bottle to add some moisture directly. Thanks for watching my videos.
@@rontressler647 I do exactly that to be sure that no lump.remains. I will hydrate more and use a spray bottle.Thanks again and U r welcome!!
Hello Ron Tressler I just came across your sourdough bread baking using a Romeropf. Can you tell me if if it’s the same as using a Terracotta Apple Baker and if you have used one thank you have a great day 🌻
I've never used a Terracotta Apple Baker, but I would imagine it would be the same. The Terracotta Apple Baker appears to be of similar contraction as the Romertopf. Thanks for watching my videos.
@@rontressler647 Thank you keep baking have a great day 🌻
Thank you, Mr. Tressier. I own a clay baker and was thinking of using to bake bread. I watched a few videos on the subject and your method gives me a lot confidence to try it. Thank you for a clear and concise demonstration.
You are very welcome, and thank you for watching my videos.
I know this video is from 2021but where do U buy 25lb flour bags for that price?
I buy 25 lb bags of flour from Costco. And yes, the prices have gone up nearly double during the last few years. Thanks for watching my videos.
@@rontressler647 thanks Ron!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge ! 👍👍😇😇
My pleasure! And thank you for watching my videos.
TO USE the cloche properly, it should be heated up to baking temp before putting in the raw dough.
Thanks for your suggestion.
I had no idea you can put bread in a cold oven 😮 I’m not new to sourdough bread baking but this is the first time I hear about baking in a cold oven.
On my channel, I demonstrate many different methods of baking sourdough bread. Thanks for watching.
Me either! Apparently, you cannot put the clay baker in a preheated oven. The rapid temperature change would cause the clay to crack or break. That’s what I read from the manufacturer.
Nothing confusing there. Very well explained!
Thank you, and thanks for watching my videos.
Thank you for making this video, love it!!
I confess, I'm addicted to sourdough bread. Thank you for watching my videos.
Where can I buy the Banneton covers your used in this video
They are plastic shower caps. I bought mine from youtuber John Kirkwood. Years ago, I purchased then from his online store.
profoodhomemade.com/shop/
Excellent thank you!!
You're welcome, and thank you for watching my videos.
Why would there be any difference between the the 2 starters, since you took the original starter, divided it in half and added the same amount of flour and water to each. They should be exactly the same?
You are correct, and there is no difference in the starters. As my sourdough journey has evolved over the years, I no longer remove starter from the mother starter to create new starter. Today, I only add flour and water to my existing jar of starter, regardless of how much left over starter is in the jar. Thanks for watching my videos.
Thanks Ron for this video, I feel more confident in starting my sour dough journey. I just have a couple questions 1. Can you explain the pineapple juice? All sour dough videos I have watched you are the 1st that has used this, I definitely tring, just wanted to know the different benefits of it 2. Can you explain the stretch and folds and twisting folds in more detail. No one's ever went into great detail, and your process looks like something I can do
Here's one of many posts about the benefit of using pineapple juice when creating a sourdough starter; 'By making a starter we are growing 'wild yeast', and adding pineapple juice at the early stages reduced the pH thus creating an optimal environment for the yeast to thrive.'
In UA-cam.com, do a search for 'stretch and fold or coil fold' and you'll find a video a did demonstrating both. Thanks for witchingly videos.
