  • This new and improved sourdough bread recipe and technique took over a year to develop, but it was more than worth the time and effort, since I think this is the best tasting sourdough I’ve ever had. This sourdough features a lovely open crumb encased by a crisp, gorgeous crust. This video maybe my longest ever, but I wanted you to see all the steps in real time. Enjoy!
    While the recipe and ingredient amounts are different, I want to give a special thank you to Maurizio Leo from The Perfect Loaf, since I used a lot of his techniques in this production. If you’ve not seen his sourdough demos, I highly recommend you check them out!

    Hi Chef John! Finally! 😂. I like your steps. The tri-folds are nice. I learned from King Arthur baking school, a different method. I’m definitely going to try this method. It has more folds and I also like the wheat flour because it adds more flavor. The ice cube trick is a keeper. If I learn anything from this, add ice cubes! Your video tutorial is perfect. Nice job. Yes. It always takes two days. It’s worth it. We love you too! ❤

    This is an amazing & thorough method to get excellent results. However if you are new to sourdough, please don’t get overwhelmed by all the steps! There are many things you can cut out & still get an excellent loaf ❤ I add starter straight from the fridge to the dough, let it rest for 30 mins, do just one set of ‘flop & turns’ then cover & bulk ferment overnight. Next morning I do one more set of flop & turns, shape & put the dough onto baking paper in a large bowl & cover. Let it rise for a few more hours until almost doubled & jiggly, score & bake in a preheated cast iron pot! Much easier but still excellent crumb structure :)

    Chef John, I very much enjoyed this video (as I do all your content). I had been obsessed with sour dough bread making prior to the pandemic, and thought I had a pretty good system with consistent results. This method looks much easier to master to me. Sadly, also during the pandemic, I made the choice to cut carbs and sugar out of my diet and actually lost 70 lbs in five months. I now watch these bread making videos as a reminder of tastier days. Keep up the great work! I'll continue to eat vicariously through you.
