I’ve been making sourdough bread for 15 years. There was nothing as clear as your presentation available to amateurs for the first ten of those years. Your process is clear and fully developed. It works. I had to discover much of what you present here by personal trial and much failure.
I’m just starting my starter, and I’m wondering, I’m going to be making a lot of sourdough bread, do I need a breadmaker ? I don’t have a mixer nor have I ever made or used any of these; do you think a breadmaker helps with kneading ? Or use a mixer ? Thanks ! ; )
You often don't knead sourdough, only yeasted dough. Instead, after mixing everything, you'll do occasional stretch and folds, maybe 3 sets every 30m into bulk formation. (With yeasted bread, you'll mix everything and then knead for ~8min, then leave it alone for the rest of bulk formation.) Before getting into sourdough I would recommend mastering yeasted dough, and watch lots of videos. I started with a channel called the Chain Baker on UA-cam -- he breaks every step down and makes bread baking so much easier to understand
I was new to sourdough and almost gave up because I couldn’t find a recipe that worked. Then I found this video and I made the best bread. Thank you so much for the clear instructions, it was soooo helpful for a newbie like me. I’m hooked now.
Hi I’m sorry to bother you but I did I’ll you do but my in the last step to put it in the basket is sticky it’s very hard to make the shape can you please tell me what can I do fix that thank you
What a perfect, pleasant and professional video presentation. No useless talk, clear, precise, direct instruction. I have a little patience for those videos were there is constant chatter and the host is trying to be a star. Thank you so much.
"CLEAR NON-RAMBLING INSTRUCTIONS" that's what caught my attention 1st, then you did it and so wonderfully, clear step by step. Any beginner would confidently go forward and make sourdough bread following your guidance. Thank you and I look forward to your other videos.
I have a starter from my Mom that I have been wanting to make into bread. Everytime I watch a sourdough bread tutorial, i just get more confused. I found your video, and it's like the clouds parted, and everything is clear! I'm waiting for my starter to peak on the counter so I can start your process. Thank you for a clear, step-by-step tutorial. I actually think I can make a successful loaf now! ❤️
I searched high and low for an instructive tutorial to learn the tricks of creating a beautiful sandwich loaf and came across your video last week. Yesterday, I followed your video step-by-step, often pausing to review using your recipe and the 2 loaves turned out beautifully! Thank you so much and I look forward to trying your other recipes. 🙏
I just finished my sourdough bread using the steps in this video and it was the best sourdough bread I have made thus far. I am a newbie to sourdough and I am so very proud of myself - thanks to your clear, concise, efficient teaching!! Thank you!!
Thank you so much for this video. I am a novice sourdough baker and I have made a couple of sourdough bread the last couple of weeks. They came out nice, but my technique has been all over the place from watching too many UA-cam videos! Yours is the video I have been searching for, and I’m going to go by your technique when I bake next weekend. You are so clear in the way you teach, everything makes perfect sense. I like the way you film your handling of the dough. Some videos are edited so that the dough very quickly looks smooth and perfect, which makes us viewers feel like we’re doing something wrong when WE try it. I know how time-consuming videos are to make and I really appreciate this, thanks so much !
My husband triedmaking sourdough for the first time this month. He has zero baking experience. He watched some videos and read up a bit and decided to go with your videos. He was successful the FIRST time and is really enjoying himself. It is THE BEST sourdough I have EVER tasted. Thank you for these thoughtful videos!
Thank you for such a clear step by step how to for making this sourdough bread. Your instructions give me a much better understanding of the internal processes that take place between the microorganisms, the handling and the resting phases.
I wish I found you from the beginning! I had to weed through so many things and so many confusing techniques. Yours is the best. Love everything about this!
Made my first loaf with my starter and your instructions and it turned out beautifully. I’m blown away. I did not expect to have success on my first try ❤
I'm working on my first starter... ever.... I so want this to turn out. I just got done mastering a simple recipe using store yeast but wanted to know how to make bread if the supply chain breaks down further and we can't buy yeast or if hyperinflation hits and they charge $50.00 for it!
Thank you... I am not new to sourdough but guessing I got lucky the first time I made a strong starter.. I had let my starter go when I moved and didn't think much of it at the time... I have all but all given up trying to make a new starter for the past three year coming to the conclusion my house was just haunted (LOL). I came across your trouble shooting your starter series and came to the conclusion that i was just experiencing an off ph balance issue. I thought again my starter had died doing nothing, but kept at it with 3 more days of discards and feeding with the 1:1:1 FEEDING SCHEDULE. It took 12 days to finally get a steady rise and follow.. The rubber band technique is genius. Just made my first loaf in this house after 4 years... I appreciate your video.
Another beautiful video. Making sourdough bread makes me very happy and even though my husband and I rarely indulge, our neighbors and family are happy recipients of my bakes. Removing that lid and seeing the “oven spring” makes me smile every time. You are a gifted instructor and the illustrative shots are spot on. Thank you.
Thank you! U are so calm & precise. It’s easy to follow & you explain in detail. I’m happy I found your channel. I’m a beginner making sourdough. I was ready to give up, but I see I’m improving and I can’t stop now Thank you
Not only are the recipes good, but you are concise and to the point without any fluff or drama. I’m never led astray by your video posters & I always get what I expect. (Zero click bait)… And I so appreciate your calm voice and positive attitude. Don’t take this the wrong way, but if there was a one hour video, I could watch to go to sleep by. Thank you for your shared time and effort. You are a great teach.
This is a true masterclass! Today is going to be the very first time I have made sourdough bread and your incredible thoroughness presented in a very kind and detailed way has reduced my anxiety about making mistakes quite a bit. So thank you! Fingers crossed, here I go
Sourdough newbie here. Thank you for your clear & crisp video instructional. I was about ready to give up before I even began because of all the minutiae contained in other videos. First off, your presentation style is so calming that it knocked out about 95% of my anxiety about the preparation phases. The other 5% evaporated as I began the process starting and stopping this video along the way. Thank you again! Update... Alert the media... After carefully following each step, I succeeded in making my inaugural fermented sourdough boule this morning! Now I need to keep my husband away from it or it will be g-o-n-e soon.
Beautiful! I used to make all of our bread w a "no knead" recipe, which was always delicious, but not nearly as pretty as yours. And I could never figure out how to practically use my proofing basket. I abandoned our starter when we became "empty nesters". You've inspired me to go back to it, even if I end up giving away the bread often...❤ Thank you!
I stumbled across your video. The moment I heard your voice I liked and hit subscribe. You have the most soothing voice and the feeling in the video is as well. I will definitely dive deep into your videos now and hope you upload often. Thank you and God bless ❤
Very clear instruction . Before this i tried to bake sourdough bread but fail. But following your step by step instructions, I succeed baking one. Now baking sourdough bread is my weekly routine. Thank you so much.
This is the best tutorial I've ever seen for beginners like me. I followed from start to finish and my sourdough bread was a hit with my family and friends! Thank you!
You just made this so uncomplicated! . New to sourdough making so I’ve watch so many videos that seem so complicated and then I found you!….Blissful thank you
Прекрасен хляб! Много благодаря за подробно обяснено видео.Получих страхотен резултат след няколко несполучливи опита. Още веднъж ви благодаря за точната рецепта и .😊🎉😊
Folks, if this is your beginning journey to becoming a sourdough bread maker this is BY FAR THE BEST INSTRUCTION on how to do it. Believe me when I say that. I have watched many, many others. After watching this twice and trying Adrienne's method I will look no more for another method. This is the first method I have seen that combines the slap & fold and the stretch & fold techniques. It makes all the difference to producing a wonderful, workable dough.
This is awesome! I tried to make sourdough years ago, with poor success, until I encountered a video showing a specific technique of how and when to handle the dough during the rise. But you are the first presenter I've ever seen to explain how, when, why, and show crystal clear examples of all the stages. Top tier presentation. Absolutely top tier.
Thank you Adrianna :) I just purchased a Dutch oven, a banneton basket, and a dough scraper. Bread making is labor intensive but now I will have the tools to make a beginner's loaf on a regular basis more simplified. I have an old scale from my Jenny Craig days, which was not built for heavy ingredients. Tomorrow I will make fermented salsa. You are right. This is a lot of fun. Enjoying what you do is a labor of love and I love bread :) I now look forward to what your new video has to share. You're just too sweet to have been a corporate suit. I'd never had believed it if you hadn't said so. You are homegrown and I love it :)
UPDATED REVIEW AFTER BAKING THE BREAD many thanks again for such precise instructions I made the bread yesterday throughout the morning and put it in the fridge until early today when it was baked It was difficult to wait to cut it but I managed 1,5 hrs of cooling time ( probably needed a tiny longer to be fully cooled inside) It was beyond delicious and worth the time it took. I followed the video and the written recipe alongside. The brad had beautiful even air pockets and when biting into it felt bubbly almost like a crumpet. Again very worth the time. Now that I have done it once it will feel easily to do the steps without so much double checking Hi! A million thanks! I did two with another recipe from a gut healing book and although it was fine the results I felt I needed more specific instructions, your was just what I needed Often things like baking are being seem as an art yet with enough practice and guidance I believe we can all learn new things Again a million thanks ❤❤❤
Well done video, Adrienna. I followed all your steps and was rewarded with an excellent loaf of sourdough bread. Thanks for sharing your recipe and baking techniques with everyone!
Let me start by saying so thankful I found this video, I have used your sourdough recipe twice now, first time made 1 Loaf the second time I challenged myself and made 2 and they came out perfect!!! Your video was so easy to follow and you didn’t make it complicated which I love. Love your content… 🥰
I’ve been trying to make a successful loaf for a long time. Your method is the first one that enabled me to make a beautiful sourdough. Thank you so much ❤
One of the BEST Starter Videos explaining the SOURDOUGH Process that I have seen on UA-cam. Definitely a Favorite here. Great Detailed Explanation. Th Ankh You
This video finally did it for me. Calling out the steps that have more flexibility…really helped. Trying to time the proofing was a waste of effort. With that off my plate I spent a little more time on handling it properly throughout the day. 🎉
Excellent video. I also have been baking sourdough bread for a few years but picked up so many tips from your video. You are an excellent teacher. I love your thorough instructions and close detail of preparing your loaves. Well done.
I found you recently and I must say that your videos are excellent! Very detailed, step by step for beginners like me and at the same time, on point with no nonsense rambling! Thank you
Just finished loaf number 2 from your sourdough starter thru baking. After many failed attempts from directions from “others” I have been successful! Thank you so much for your clear directions and demonstrations.
Thanks for the easy understanding video this is my first attempt at making sourdough bread. I have my bread in the oven . Patiently waiting to try it thank you and God bless. I didn’t do my scoring deep enough
Thank you so much for your recipe and video. I made my first ever sourdough loaf following your instructions and it turned out beautifully on my first attempt.
Although my first attempt to make this recipe was not as good as it could have been (my starter was weak). The flavor was exceptional. I learned so much watching your videos and feel I can actually achieve success. Thank you for making the directions clear and concise. It took my starter over 2 weeks to get going really good, I almost gave up. I am using freshly milled rye for the starter and will use freshly milled white hard wheat to make the next loaf. So happy your channel was recommended to me. Shalom.
I’ve been researching to buy sourdough starter, and all the comments say that only the San Francisco starter using white flour works great, with many negative comments on GF and whole wheat starter….etc. But, I did notice that people would buy the San Fran one and eventually use Rye or whole wheat; this interests me because I’m not a fan of eating white flour, even though her video of that bread looks absolutely delicious; I’m wondering about the health benefits of eating white flour sourdough bread……. I’m intrigued that a bread can be fermented, and I’m very curious to know how the Rye, Spelt and wheat turn out once the white flour starter settles, and also I bought organic coconut flour which I would LOVE to figure out how to use in sourdough; wonderful video !! ; )
Just wanted to say thank you for this fool proof recipe/technique. New to making sourdough and have struggled with inconsistent results. Since watching this and following your advice I’ve been getting fantastic results!!!
I very rarely leave comments on anything, but I was all too inclined just to reach out and say "thank you" for your sourdough starter & sourdough bread videos. I'm new to cultivating wild yeast and sourdough's and have been scouring the internet all week for how-to's/tips/tricks with mixed results, and I am so grateful I came across your videos; they're so well done! You give JUST the right amount of technical information with perfect instructional techniques & bonus info. Thank you again! 😊
Thank you so much. I created a starter three weeks ago. Found out that Rye is the magic for starter. Today I followed your instruction for my first loaf. We bake tomorrow. Hoping it’s a success.
First loaf following your instruction was perfect. I will say that a Rye starter is the way to go for a strong starter. And temperature for the starter to grow is really important. I baked at 9400 elevation in Colorado and made zero adjustment to your instructions. Thank you
I have made my first dough following ur instruction. Beautiful i would say, my bread has turned out very nice . thanks a lot for such clear instruction. While i am commenting ur words are 'this a best place ' exactly . 💯 best place for starters . ❤
Thank you! ❣Your information, technique, and presentation are so helpful. I now understand what I did wrong to create liquid Silly Putty instead of sourdough dough.
Been making sourdough for quite a while, saw this video and thought I’d give it a try. Oh my goodness! Clear and soooo helpful. My loaves were out of this world!! Thank you so much. My family can’t stop talking about how fantastic and beautiful the bread is!!!!❤😅 Wish I could send pictures
This is my go-to for technique. I have tried a few other methods, however, this one consistently come out very good. I so enjoy your presentation style! Thank you!
Your video helped me remedy a problem I was causing unknowingly. Thank you for how well you break it down and cover what ifs and don't do's. Grateful 🙏
I am very new to sourdough bread making. I've spent the last month, carefully babying my starter and discards. I've read dozens of recipes and watched videos. BUT, your video was absolutely the most comprehensive, clear, and to the point. I made my first loaf yesterday, while watching your video. Kept replaying parts to be careful with the slap and fold, stretch and fold, etc. I put it in my oven on proof; I was sure I had messed it up because it seemed to take forever to rise. But after 6 hours, it had doubled . One thing I learned is that 6 hours was perhaps 30 min too long for the bulk rise. I prepped it, and put in fridge and baked it off this morning - it was so good!!!! Thank you for making such a great step by step video. I am excited to bake more.
Just pulled my BEAUTIFUL loaf out of the oven!! Can’t wait to taste it. I’ve used sourdough for years, I’ve made loaves before but this looks amazing! Thank you!
I love the way you explained to us your bread recipe. I m sure its the best ever. I will give it a try instantly. Thank you for sharing with us. God bless you with your endeavours
Fairly new to making sourdough (just a couple months now) and so far, I have had the best results following this instructional video. Very informative and clear instructions with amazing results. I don't know if it is because of the slap and fold or the overnight proof but after making a loaf yesterday and a boule this evening, even I was impressed with my results! Thank you very much for your help. It is nice to finally have success with my end results.
I’ve been making sourdough bread for 15 years. There was nothing as clear as your presentation available to amateurs for the first ten of those years. Your process is clear and fully developed. It works. I had to discover much of what you present here by personal trial and much failure.

If you use this method, no bread maker is necessary. Just your hands for a little bit. You only stretch & fold a few times. @@blessisrael6455
Hi, no you don't! You can make up to a dozen loaves a day by hand, without a mixer or bread maker
You often don't knead sourdough, only yeasted dough. Instead, after mixing everything, you'll do occasional stretch and folds, maybe 3 sets every 30m into bulk formation. (With yeasted bread, you'll mix everything and then knead for ~8min, then leave it alone for the rest of bulk formation.)

Hi I’m sorry to bother you but I did I’ll you do but my in the last step to put it in the basket is sticky it’s very hard to make the shape can you please tell me what can I do fix that thank you
@@raquelmobile5085 Add a tad more flour (a little sprinkle at a time) until it is able to retain shape.
Thank you so much you a nice lady ❤
Anh ideas why the dough becomes more moist, soft and sticky after each rolling and folding step?
This is, hands down, the best tutorial on sourdough bread! Thank you!
I love how thorough, calm and precise you are - thank you
😊
Just wow, it's like attending a class with so much details from a well trained patient teacher which is rare.
What a perfect, pleasant and professional video presentation. No useless talk, clear, precise, direct instruction. I have a little patience for those videos were there is constant chatter and the host is trying to be a star. Thank you so much.
"CLEAR NON-RAMBLING INSTRUCTIONS" that's what caught my attention 1st, then you did it and so wonderfully, clear step by step. Any beginner would confidently go forward and make sourdough bread following your guidance. Thank you and I look forward to your other videos.
I subscribed this week and let me tell you, that was the best and clearest sourdough bread demonstration I ever saw. Well done.
couldn't agree more!
I have been making sourdough for the past 5 years and this is the best how-to I have seen. Really great job, thank you.
I have a starter from my Mom that I have been wanting to make into bread. Everytime I watch a sourdough bread tutorial, i just get more confused.

UPDATED REVIEW AFTER BAKING THE BREAD
many thanks again for such precise instructions
I made the bread yesterday throughout the morning and put it in the fridge until early today when it was baked
It was difficult to wait to cut it but I managed 1,5 hrs of cooling time ( probably needed a tiny longer to be fully cooled inside) It was beyond delicious and worth the time it took. I followed the video and the written recipe alongside. The brad had beautiful even air pockets and when biting into it felt bubbly almost like a crumpet. Again very worth the time. Now that I have done it once it will feel easily to do the steps without so much double checking
Hi!
A million thanks!
I did two with another recipe from a gut healing book and although it was fine the results I felt I needed more specific instructions, your was just what I needed
Often things like baking are being seem as an art yet with enough practice and guidance I believe we can all learn new things
Again a million thanks ❤❤❤
Such a great video! Thank you for explaining it so thoroughly and making it not so intimidating!
You seem teach gently. Thank you, I think I’ll try baking my first loaf this weekend.
Beautiful instructions. Thank you.
Would love to see a whole wheat/spelt sourdough tutorial. Enjoying your videos!
same! just came back to here to see if she posted anything around that :)
Well done video, Adrienna. I followed all your steps and was rewarded with an excellent loaf of sourdough bread. Thanks for sharing your recipe and baking techniques with everyone!

WONDERFUL!
I love this video. I only have a 3 quart cast iron dutch oven, but the lid had enough room and my loaf came out gorgeous!
One of the BEST Starter Videos explaining the SOURDOUGH Process that I have seen on UA-cam.
Definitely a Favorite here.
Great Detailed Explanation.

Best step by step process for sourdough for beginners there is out there! So thankful I came across this video.
Just finished loaf number 2 from your sourdough starter thru baking. After many failed attempts from directions from “others” I have been successful! Thank you so much for your clear directions and demonstrations.
Thanks for the easy understanding video this is my first attempt at making sourdough bread. I have my bread in the oven . Patiently waiting to try it thank you and God bless. I didn’t do my scoring deep enough
My first attempt at sourdough and it’s a success, followed all the steps and the bread turned out to be perfect. Thank you for clear instructions
Great job!
The best, easiest and clearest instructions I've found!
I followed your instructions and my first sourdough boule was a success! Thank you!
Wonderful!🤩
Thank you so much for your recipe and video. I made my first ever sourdough loaf following your instructions and it turned out beautifully on my first attempt.
Amazing! Congrats!
WOW, I have watched TONS of SD breading making/Baking Videos & I MUST be honest…YOURS is the BEST! Easy & very thorough instructions! LOVE it!
Although my first attempt to make this recipe was not as good as it could have been (my starter was weak). The flavor was exceptional. I learned so much watching your videos and feel I can actually achieve success. Thank you for making the directions clear and concise. It took my starter over 2 weeks to get going really good, I almost gave up. I am using freshly milled rye for the starter and will use freshly milled white hard wheat to make the next loaf. So happy your channel was recommended to me. Shalom.
I'm so glad you didn't give up!
I’ve been researching to buy sourdough starter, and all the comments say that only the San Francisco starter using white flour works great, with many negative comments on GF and whole wheat starter….etc.
But, I did notice that people would buy the San Fran one and eventually use Rye or whole wheat; this interests me because I’m not a fan of eating white flour, even though her video of that bread looks absolutely delicious; I’m wondering about the health benefits of eating white flour sourdough bread……. I’m intrigued that a bread can be fermented, and I’m very curious to know how the Rye, Spelt and wheat turn out once the white flour starter settles, and also I bought organic coconut flour which I would LOVE to figure out how to use in sourdough; wonderful video !! ; )
Thanks you giving clear presentation and explanation
The best bread baking class!!!
Just wanted to say thank you for this fool proof recipe/technique. New to making sourdough and have struggled with inconsistent results. Since watching this and following your advice I’ve been getting fantastic results!!!
Wonderful to hear!
I very rarely leave comments on anything, but I was all too inclined just to reach out and say "thank you" for your sourdough starter & sourdough bread videos. I'm new to cultivating wild yeast and sourdough's and have been scouring the internet all week for how-to's/tips/tricks with mixed results, and I am so grateful I came across your videos; they're so well done! You give JUST the right amount of technical information with perfect instructional techniques & bonus info. Thank you again! 😊
I'm so glad they are helping, it's my pleasure!
This is the most informative and easiest instructions I’ve ever watched! Can’t wait to watch more of your videos this weekend!
Thank you so much. I created a starter three weeks ago. Found out that Rye is the magic for starter. Today I followed your instruction for my first loaf. We bake tomorrow. Hoping it’s a success.
First loaf following your instruction was perfect. I will say that a Rye starter is the way to go for a strong starter. And temperature for the starter to grow is really important. I baked at 9400 elevation in Colorado and made zero adjustment to your instructions. Thank you
That is great to hear!
This is my favorite instructional video. I can't wait to try it!
I am new to making sourdough starters and bread but your steps made it so much easier. I have made the best bread ever!
That is wonderful to hear!
Made my first sourdough using your video, and voila success! Great boule, great ear. magnifique! Can't wait to continue my sourdough journey. Thanks!
Wonderful!
I have made my first dough following ur instruction. Beautiful i would say, my bread has turned out very nice . thanks a lot for such clear instruction. While i am commenting ur words are 'this a best place ' exactly . 💯 best place for starters . ❤
Thank you! ❣Your information, technique, and presentation are so helpful. I now understand what I did wrong to create liquid Silly Putty instead of sourdough dough.
Thank you so much for your presentation. I’m new at baking sourdough, but I feel confident that I can do this!
Been making sourdough for quite a while, saw this video and thought I’d give it a try.
Oh my goodness! Clear and soooo helpful. My loaves were out of this world!! Thank you so much. My family can’t stop talking about how fantastic and beautiful the bread is!!!!❤😅
Wish I could send pictures
That is wonderful! Yes, I'd love to see a photo! You can send one to cleanfoodliving@yahoo.com
My starter is finally ready to use and this video will be so helpful for my first loaf. Thank you.
This is my go-to for technique. I have tried a few other methods, however, this one consistently come out very good. I so enjoy your presentation style! Thank you!
Your video helped me remedy a problem I was causing unknowingly. Thank you for how well you break it down and cover what ifs and don't do's. Grateful 🙏
I am very new to sourdough bread making. I've spent the last month, carefully babying my starter and discards. I've read dozens of recipes and watched videos. BUT, your video was absolutely the most comprehensive, clear, and to the point. I made my first loaf yesterday, while watching your video. Kept replaying parts to be careful with the slap and fold, stretch and fold, etc. I put it in my oven on proof; I was sure I had messed it up because it seemed to take forever to rise. But after 6 hours, it had doubled . One thing I learned is that 6 hours was perhaps 30 min too long for the bulk rise. I prepped it, and put in fridge and baked it off this morning - it was so good!!!! Thank you for making such a great step by step video. I am excited to bake more.
Thanks for sharing your baking journey!
Wow, didn't realize all the folding, shaping that is required. Can't wait to try it
Clear and precise directions.... Well done❤
Newbie here, and this recipe is perfect! Clear & concise instructions, and makes for some really tasty bread! Thank you so much!!

Your presentation and explanation is impeccable. So clear and well presented. Thanks for the work you put in to get this to us.
Much appreciated!
Fairly new to making sourdough (just a couple months now) and so far, I have had the best results following this instructional video. Very informative and clear instructions with amazing results. I don't know if it is because of the slap and fold or the overnight proof but after making a loaf yesterday and a boule this evening, even I was impressed with my results! Thank you very much for your help. It is nice to finally have success with my end results.
That's wonderful!!
