    Just wanted to say that this is a beginner recipe! There are many things I left out for those of you wanting to take it to the next level, like making a levain. I never do this and still get great sourdough!

    I've been making sourdough bread for a few years and I thought that was an excellent explanation for beginners Immy. The thing about sourdough is you really do have to have a routine over a few days to produce the loaf. It isn't a one day job like a yeasted dough. But the advantage of sourdough bread is that the extra time making it means it's fermented, so it's much tastier than yeasted breads, which makes it much better for both taste/texture and for our microbiome. For those who are intimidated by the starter, you can get them sent to you online for very little cost ($5-$10) and once you've got one it's yours forever. My starter is seven years old. Otherwise, it's just getting used to the idea of bread being a few minutes over two or three days (it depends on how you manage your starter, but it's always at least 48 hours) and weighing your flour and the several other ingredients as you did Immy. And, I really like these 'can do' videos. You make things seem attainable as a way of life ☆

    I find the science behind sourdough to be fascinating. The fact that it helps feed the beneficial bacteria in our gut microbiome is amazing!! Just knowing that sourdough bread lowers one’s glycemic index due to the fermentation of the starter/rising agent makes me love it all that much more. Can I also just say that eating a freshly baked bagel is like a warm edible hug… and, Immy, your bagels looked very huggy!! Yes, I love this type of video and I would look forward to more content just like this. The secret to living a long and healthy life is right there in our kitchen so I always welcome new ideas for scratch cooking. TYSM for all the great sourdough tips and the inspo!! Ⓜary💕🥯

    I am not an expert, but to me, it looks like items made by a qualified baker. Well done! By the way, according to Paul Hollywood, the slapping dough method is good for yeast bread only. With sourdough you should be gentle, otherwise, you will lose the beautiful air holes in your bread.

    I've been curious about your sourdough method for so long, so this video has been delightful! I've been making a loaf every 1-2 weeks for about 2 years, but have only started really interrogating my technique in the last few months. It's amazing how tiny adjustments can have such an outsized impact.
    The two biggest improvements I've seen in my own bread have been from 1) autolysis, and 2) adding steam to the oven. My dutch oven isn't built well for breadmaking, so instead I add a bit of boiling water in a tin just before I pop the bread in on a cookie tray. I remove it at the 20 minute mark and then bake for another 15 minutes. Works like a charm!

      They Rye helps give it a sour flavor, and proofing overnight in the fridge also does, too. I found 50/50 Rye and AP flour is a good mix to feed (found out in an article about how different flours fed effect the final loaf.

    wow wow WOW. You have very nice shaping on the bread (putting tension into the dough)!!!
    I have some objections for the things you said about the starter (from a advanced home baker prospective) but they are minor. The way you are feeding I was doing for couple of years. Because there was not really that many articles and videos about it pre-pandemic. Or maybe they were but I was happy with my loaves and taste was, and still is, 90% of what I require in my breads.
    *GREAT VIDEO* from Beginner POV and I might give bagels a go. They are not common in Czechia. The one bagel sandwich I had I really like :-D

    • @utsukushiiseishin

      How do you feed your starter now?

    • @HallaDita
      @HallaDita 6 місяців тому

      Hello@@utsukushiiseishin
      In between baking I keep only small amount of starter in fridge (about 60g - 2 table spoons). I discard the top part (there is usually some dry skin), feed the rest 50:50. 10g starter + 40g water + 40g flour. When that roughly doubles I check if the top is domed or sinking. When it starts to sink I take about 20g and feed it again (to get the amount I need to bake with). This is the starter in top form after taking out of fridge.
      "Discarded" starter can be used in many ways. I really like sourdough pancakes or when I don't have time to do them I feed it to our chicken. They love it.
      In my view discarding a part of starter is necessary as the deflated mass doesn't carry many active yeast and bacteria. Therefore keeping only small amount in between 2 bakes is totally enough. The pro-baker told us on course to do 2 feeding cycles between before making the amount of starter required in the bread recipe. But who has time for that? 😀
      Always using a clean jar is a must. Its the easiest way to prevent unwanted stuff to grow along your starter resting.
      If something is unclear, please ask again. It is not that complicated as it may look from my crappy writing 😅bye, Dita 🇨🇿

      @@HallaDita thank you for sharing your experience, Dita! Everything you wrote makes sense to me but I'm not sure what you meant about always using a clean jar. Do you transfer the starter to another clean jar to feed it? Or am I missing something? Hello from 🇺🇸
      This year will be my first attempt at making sourdough. Everything I've researched makes it seem like the starter becomes a new member of the family 😆 Using the discard seems very economical and I would love to make other fermented goods like pancakes 🥞 😋

      You need a lid to create steam! People recommend Dutch ovens because they help create a lot of steam which helps with the rise and oven spring. If you don’t have one try baking on a oven tray and putting 6 or so ice cubes in when you put the oven in. This will help create steam!
