Thank you for taking the mystery out of Sourdough bread! I've read & re-read articles about starters, they seem to want you to use vast amounts of flour (like entire bags each day), this looks simple, easy & something I can handle! I love to know that a professional's oven mitts look just like mine!! I hope you will continue making these videos, they are great.
My now young adult son recently began making bread, with inconsistent results. I'm a very good cook, but a horrible baker! I just watched this video and sent it to my son. Waiting on the best sourdough bread yet. Thanks Paul!
Can't thank you enough for your easy instructions on how to make a sour dough starter! After years of trying, your recipe was a total success!! Thanks so much Paul!!
Quick question, after the initial 100g flour 100mil water , once it’s started and you remove half the starter then add more flour and water, do you add an additional 100g flour and 100mils water or 50g and 50mils
I love how you prepared the sourdough bread, I saw something new that I did not know, you put the flour with water beforehand, you left for a while, then you added the other ingredients. I also like your not very large but easy to use kitchen, they are all at hand, and within the range of the camera.. Brilliant. ❤️👏🌺🌺🌹🥰
When I first started looking through google for sourdough ideas it took me a week to realise that the mix wasn't actually making the bread itself it was an additive. It then took me another 2 years to interpret what 'starter' and 'feed it' meant. Thank you Paul for straightening this issue out!
Thanks to you and your instructions, I can now make the most perfect sourdough items! I've kept my starter going for over a month, which is great for me, considering I've never had much luck before!
I have made my sourdough starter back in 2018 and still have it. The only difference is that before i put it in the fridge i caver it with flour as to prevent it from make that brown film on top..
Thank you, Paul. It’s a great tutorial. I passed it on to my daughter who is interested in learning. I don’t suppose you can make it with a gluten-free flour that would suit me.
Hello Paul from Brazil. I would like you to know that you inspired me to get started making in artisan sourdough bread and other sourdough delights. Thank you very much.
Wow, Paul, you are my hero! Thank you for this video and explaining the method so clearly! I shall be giving this a go as soon as possible. Thank you x x x
Thank you Paul I trust you ,and I am making all bread types ,can I use left over starter to make any thing else if I made over what I needed. Thank you for the lesson .
Glad I found this video. I’ve followed your directions from your Bake book, but wasn’t sure what you meant when you described ‘begin to stretch the outside edge into the middle.’ Watching this tutorial helped and saved me from making a huge mess of what looks like a promising starter.
Thank you so much for this start to finish recipe and tutorial. I've been wanting to learn how to bake this. It all seemed so daunting. UNTIL NOW.!!!!!❤😂
An interesting video. It just goes to show that there are many ways of making sourdough bread and this one is quite different from others I have seen. I will try it and see how it works out.
I've been using a method from the Brick House Bakery which involves a lot less mixing but does involve stretching the dough over a few hours. It also seems to work really well but I'm very keen to learn other methods. Your videos are fool proof and work every time. Thank you! @libbysloaves
Hello from Norway 🌞 I’m wondering about the flour. My bread flour has 12 % protein. When I mad your starter it was to wet, so I had to add more flour in the starter (so it had the same texture as yours. Otherwise it was wet and not cohesive as the one you made) I guess I need to add a bit more flour than water as I go forward to get an active starter. I guess that when I’ll make my bread, the same thing will happen with my dough? A more wet dough. And not that easy to bake a nice bread? The problem is that I don’t know how much more flour I need to get a good sourdough bread. I don’t want to keep feeding the crows and seagulls around the house with sourdough disasters 😁 Best regards from the Lofoten Islands, up north in Norway Merete Raanes
This is the first sourdough recipe I've seen that did not involve a proper shaping. Usually after the first rise (bulk fermentation) the dough is shaped tightly into either a batard or boule, then left to rise a 2nd time. This version is basically just bulk fermented, left in its somewhat natural shape and then baked.
@@paulhollywood8642 I am from USA, and have been a fan for at least 10 years. Really look forward to bake off each year..I am 73 male, married. My sourdough starter is aprox 42 years old. Baking bread is kind of like therapy to me. I enjoy the whole process and especially love how much my grand children love it.
@@stephenfulton9345 thanks so much for your reply back to me i want to thank you so much for your comment i saw on my youtube page i will so much glad!
I am making this recipe right now! I must say it was VERY confusing how your video is completely different than the written instructions you include in the link. I opted to try the video version. I have 30 minutes left in the baking. It looks amazing! I am puzzled by why the 2 instructions don't match?
Hi Shannon, I also noticed this variation - the video instructions seem easier than the written ones. How did you get on using the video instructions - did your sourdough turn out okay ?? I am hoping to have a go making the bread but not sure which method to use 🙂
Making bread has changed my life and I'm from Liverpool so that's difficult. Well maybe. The sourdough is just amazing. Can I ask #PauHollywood what Dutch Oven/ Casserole are you using?
THANK YOU, SO MUCH, MR. HOLLYWOOD !🌷😃🌷! YOU HAVE INSPIRED ME SO MUCH TO MAKE BREAD AND THE ALL NATURAL WAY. MY AUNT BARBARA USED TO MAKE A LOT OF THINGS, APPLE PIES, QUICHE, ETC. AND INCLUDING BREAD !! SHE DID IT ALL BY HAND, BUT AS SHE GOT OLDER, IT DID GET A LITTLE EXHAUSTING FOR HER AND SHE EVENTUALLY TURNED TO A BREAD MACHINE WHICH DID IT ALL .... (SHE IS NO LONGER WITH US, BUT I HAVE TO ASK MY COUSIN FOR SOME OF HER RECIPES) ... .... THE MIXING, KNEADING, AND RISING AND BAKING .... WOULD YOU RECOMMEND THIS METHOD AND YOUR RECIPE FOR THE SOUR DOUGH BREAD, USING YOUR OWN NATURAL YEAST, TO SOMEHOW CONVERT THIS RECIPE FOR A BREAD MACHINE ? ... IF SO, WHAT CHANGES WOULD YOU MAKE. I KNOW THE PURPOSE OF THIS IS TO DO EVERYTHING " BY HAND ", BUT MY AUNT STILL WANTED FRESH BREAD AND THE MACHINE MADE IT EASIER FOR HER.😌😋🌷💗🌹🙏🏻
Paaaul, where are your car videos on youtube??? Pleease man.. I watched the full series on Netflix, and it was amazing! I'm begging you to make more of these please! Thanks from Brazil 🇧🇷
Great instructions - but how do you handle mixing if you don’t have a heavy duty mixer on hand? Do you just hand knead for a while until it looks like yours looks?
Love Paul Hollywood! I tried making my first loaf today from these videos. Unfortunately it didn’t rise, how long until the starter is good to be used? Mine had bubbles forming the second day so I fed it daily for about 5 days then used it to make a loaf (which ended up being about 1 inch thick lol)
Once your starter is doubling in size in under a day, it's ready to use. Keep it in a container that's small enough that you can estimate the height. Use a rubber band around the container to measure the post-feeding volume.
A different take on sourdough, a bit like the soughdough in 3 steps video which does work. To address some of the questions in the comments. You can hand mix it and it is usually done that way, just let it stand for 1 hour before stretching, soughdough starter is sealed, usually uses Rye flour, you dont need to feed it just start with a smaller amount and it will last a month. Just make enough for your next loaf. Most approaches will shape the bread and then have a second rise. it will work without a lid, straight on a tray or a baking tin. the lid and pot are used to retain moisture but its not necessary. Happy baking!
I do have one question - we make a lot of sourdough in San Francisco-why do you use metal utensils? We are also told to use wood as the metal can interfere .
I thought, 2 quid you tight bugger. But then I realised I gave nothing! If this tutorial produces good bread for me I might out do you and give £2.50 🎉
I don't speak English, but I understand you absolutely! I understand everything, you explain perfectly! Thanks a lot!!! With love from Latvia. 😘😘😘 PS. What is the temperature in Celsius in the oven?
Can I add buttermilk instead of water to my flour for the 🍞 loaf. And also can I add it to the starter. I have a great starter that been fridged for 5 months. I will make a new loaf and keep you posted on my outcome. The first time I made it it didn’t rise enough but the sour taste was intense. It was dense but great tasting
First, thank you so much for this video. Bread is fascinating! But have couple questions. Why bake in a pot with lid? I assume to keep shape but does it have to be baked that way or can you use just a tray? Second, if you don't have mixer, can you knead this type of bread by hand. Labor intensive but I don't have a mixer ...yet. Thanks again 🍞❤️
Because the dough creates steam that gives the lift and helps the loaf to develop a crusty outer. If you didn't use a Dutch oven you would need to use a method that creates steam like using lava rocks or something
Ive just tried this recipe. Firstly, the starter turned out well having tried 2 other recipes which didnt, The dough rose well but the success ended there. Tipped the dough out of the bowl and a lot of the dough was stuck to the base . I had oiled it lightly as ibstructed but had to scrape the stuck portion out as I would have had half a loaf. The 50 minutes/hour baking time proved to be too long. No further rise in the oven, it looks like a thick pancake And the baking paper is very firmly stuck to the base of the loaf. Ive baked lots of bread, but first time for sourdough but this was an epic fail,
I make no-knead bread every week--is it possible to make it with this yeast starter, please? I have to use 425 grams of flour and usually I would use 1/2 teaspoon of dry active yeast. Does anyone know how much of this starter I would need to use? I do not have a stand mixer and use simple tools. Many thanks and Happy New Year!
I have been doing this for over 25 years.. mine is little more liquid. I keep it in the fridge 10 days before I fresh it again and use some to make bread ....
The written instructions under video one don’t specify that you have to mix the dough for five minutes before adding the starter. It just says to throw everything in together. Does that make a big difference? Then the written instructions in the first video also say you need to let the dough rest for another four hours before baking but in the third video, he says to let it rest for 30 mins to 1 hour. So which is it?
Someone baked me a white sourdough recently and it was so sticky and chewy that I could barely cut it with a good breadknife. It also left a glue-like substance on the knife. She says that's how it's supposed to be and that it was me being used to a shop bought yeast based sourdough loaf and that my breadknife is not good enough. That can't be right, surely?
The ingredients in the notes say 500 mL of flour, which seems like an odd measurement choice for flour. When trying to use that amount, i end up with a batter-like consistency and have to add much more to get it to a dough. Is it supposed to be 500 g by chance?
I love him--Even with the softer body and that unfortunate (in my opinion) beard (I think the goatee suited him much better), he's still VERY sexy. THOSE EYES...🥰 I read that a lot of people say he's very cocky and seems to think he's God's gift to women. Call me old-fashioned, but if that's true, I say he's EARNED that right. ~LOL~ It's part of his charm, you know? I've never had luck growing sourdough starter before and had pretty much given up trying (although I HAVE been using Poolishes), but I mixed up some of his starter just now, purely out of curiosity. People, learn from my mistake because I accidentally put in a teeny bit too much water and had to add a bunch of extra flour to get it as dry as Paul's. I just ended up with WAY more than he did. One more thing and then I'll shut up: Can somebody please explain to me the point of holes in bread? Why exactly is that a good thing? I don't get it.
I totally trust Paul Hollywood on bread. 💯
You make it look so easy, but looks delicious. 😋 😊
I love watching this man baking. Seeing an expert do his thing is highly engaging

I have tried this recipe twice now and it has worked really well. Thank you.
Marvelous.... going to start my starter tomorrow and give this a bash, it looks fantastic, thanks Paul
Thanks .we keep one piece of dough in a container as yeast for our next bakery 2or3 days later the taste of this bread is different and good
“Any old bag that’s been lying around the house…” 😂😂😂. Love it
But it’s not any old bag is it - it’s an Ocado bag ❤

Does anyone know what bread mixer is being used?
If you get an Ankarsrum mixer you won’t have to hold it down while it kneads.
Someone baked me a white sourdough recently and it was so sticky and chewy that I could barely cut it with a good breadknife. It also left a glue-like substance on the knife. She says that's how it's supposed to be and that it was me being used to a shop bought yeast based sourdough loaf and that my breadknife is not good enough. That can't be right, surely?
I'm used to seeing Paul do these in the Pies and Puds kitchen, so there a was little bit more of a claustrophobic feeling to this video.
The ingredients in the notes say 500 mL of flour, which seems like an odd measurement choice for flour. When trying to use that amount, i end up with a batter-like consistency and have to add much more to get it to a dough. Is it supposed to be 500 g by chance?
Ooh, it’s been updated. 450g. And the other quantities have been tweaked as well. Interesting 😊
