I sadly lost my wife of 46 years to cancer last year. She used to make sourdough bread, the aroma of fresh sourdough bread baking is amazing. Watching you make this bread has brought back some good memories. God bless.
I sm so sorry for ur loss god bless you sir i am an orphan nothing but empty memories n its an awful feeling may god continue to bless you n enjoy the beautiful memories that you have big huge hug
if you want good rise, add vital wheat gluten to your whole wheat; AP & bread flours have the nicest rise but you can introduce more whole grain without sacrificing rise if you add some of the vital wheat gluten.
I’ve made this bread a few times now. IT IS SOOOO GOOD! It’s also fool proof. I’ve rushed it and done it all in a day…turned out great. I’ve forgotten about it and stretched it out to 3 days - still awesome. I have tried several recipes for whole-wheat sourdough and this one is BY FAR the best.
I love that you use mostly your own milled wheat flour. It has been hard for me to find sourdough videos that don’t use all-purpose flour as the main flour. And many use rye flour as well, but I prefer wheat flavor. So thanks! And I love spelt, too!
I could watch bread making all day! There is something so relaxing about it but I really love kneading the dough myself. I daydream while kneading LOL My moment of pleasure without feeling like I need to get busy LOL Thank you for sharing.
I am a Filipino. I started to love watching your watching your videos with your family. Thank you for this inspiration that helps me to do better in life. God bless.
My girlfriend has issues with things like breading on foods and white bread. I've just started making sourdough and tried to explain to her exactly what you've said. I got her hooked on raw milk which she also had an issue digesting. That seemed to solve her dairy issue as I'd imagine this would solve her bread digestion issues. I'm glad I'm not the only person to understand how flawed our grocery store food is
Love this. Please don't put yourself through extra steps to teach with a clean jar. It is nice to see genuine, real time, how you maintain your starter.
@@TheSeasonalHomestead I used to change out my jars and then got pink mold when I stored the starter in the fridge. I bought a tall sourdough jar that only gets used for starter. It came with a long spatula that made it easy to reach the bottom and is marked on the side.
Is there ANYTHING YOU CANT DO ? I’m anxious to go from quick bread to artisan breads …is there a video on your channel that shows how to MAKE A SOURDOUGH STARTER ? Everything you work with shows such love…thank you and stay blessed
I generally try to stay grain-free and low carb, but damn, baking bread (and baking for loved ones in general) is one of the purest, most wholesome things for me. Just ordered my first duch oven and will be attempting sourdough for sure. Thank you for this video!
I have to admit you are teaching me a thing or two. I am probably twice your age, but you seem very smart. I bought a scale, kind of like you have, a few months ago. I need to learn how to use it, because you made me just realize I wasn't doing it right! I am still in the dark of how to use it by zeroing it out before weighing something again, but I can learn. This is only the second video I have watched from you and I have already been inspired by you in this homesteading adventure. I am a gardener and I am also preserving food. I do not have a freeze dryer yet, only a dehydrator. You inspire me to keep going on preserving food any way we can. Thank you for being so smart! Now to make some sourdough bread.
I love watching your channel and learning from you! ❤️👏 I was wondering if you could you make a video of your yearly garden schedule? What crops you plant in each season, when you plant the seeds, when you pull them up, etc. I am so interested in how you plan your schedule! Thanks!
I'm new on her channel and being watching the garden tour from last year if you watch some of the it will give you and idea. I being learning a lot from it .
Thank you! I have a garden schedule I use here: www.theseasonalhomestead.com/when-to-plant-vegetables-in-zone-6/ It's specific to my growing zone but it can be adjusted forward or backward depending on when your last frost is. I do occasionally adjust it, but it's a good starting point. I also will try and mention this in future videos :)
Hello from Canada!! So flipping happy that you posted a video this morning! It made my day! Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial on sourdough. Been baking sourdough bread for a long time. You showed it so well! Will definitely try your recipe. Mild some fresh wheat flower after watching your video to try your sourdough bread recipe.can’t wait to try it!! I’ll let you know after I bake it! Your sooo inspiring! God bless!!
Finally an AMAZING loaf of sourdough with my freshly milled flour! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I have made it twice now (and even did the oven temperature wrong once) and the bread has turned out amazing. I’ve been trialling so many recipes for a couple months now and have so many failed (dense) loaves of bread but am very very happy with this one! My family loves it too 🎉
I'm so excited to try this! I've finally made sourdough baking a part of my weekly routine but I've been wanting to use more whole wheat flour. Your bread is gorgeous.
Thanks to this film I stared making my own bread. My kids like it a lot, so looks like it will stay with us for good. :-) The variations of this recipe are also very good. And what I love about it most, is how nourishing it is in comparison to the breads from supermarkets.
Thank you for this video. I love fresh baked bread and have been experimenting and perfecting methods for many years. The best thing I did was invest in Emile Henry baking pans. They are ceramic pans that retain the moisture so the bread bakes perfectly. I try many different grains and make my own flour as well. It looks daunting at first but once you learn a method it is very simple. Everyone should try to make their own bread. There is not a better smell coming from the kitchen. Thank You Becky!
I would love to see more about grinding your own wheat and where you get it from. Do you grow your own wheat yet? I really want to get away from enriched flours, but I feel like the only way is if I grow and grind it myself, and I’m not nearly close to being able to do that yet haha. Anyway, love your wholesome channel and your focus on family and healthy living. ;)
I highly recommend the Wondermill as well. As a large family with 8 kiddos, I use the wondermill every other day to bake our sandwich bread and for other flour use. Lots of baking goes on at our home. Ive had it for years. Still going strong, I dont know what I would do without it! I get our wheat berries from Azure Standard. Although, we have had a lot of items going out of stock recently. Its been hit or miss with what wheat berries are in stock.
Get a drumstick (the musical type) cut off the striking pearl and sand down the end. Use that to mix your starter and dough. Metal knives and utensils can crack the jar
I'm new here too all I have to say you are going to love it. She is so humble and just that one quality alone take a person for. But I would spoil it for you. Since you will find so many other good qualities about this family.
I just made my very first "successful" whole wheat sourdough bread with your recipe! It turned out fantastic! Thank you for your easy to follow recipe!!!
Started on a started yesterday evening, right after watching this video! I had a started 2 years ago and baked 2 breads with it, fairly succesful but with 3 young kids demanding full attention 24/7 forgot to feed it. I'm inspired to give it another go after watching this. Really liked the sandwich version too!
Looks beautiful, I read that artisan bread means the baker who baked it is an artist. Which perfectly describes you and those loaves. I too make bread with a "sour dough starter" I keep it in the fridge because I don't like the sour taste of starters keep on the counter top. So I tell people it's natural yeast. The way we were supposed to eat wheat. Before man made yeast in a lab so we could have bread faster. The yeast eats the gluten making it so we can digest it. Your instructions are so easy to follow thanks for this tutorial. I had to name my "pet" in the fridge so I wouldn't forget to feed him, lol.
Sounds like you have it down pretty good!! In case it was unclear in the video, after that first night on the counter, we do put our starter in the fridge. Totally agree with you, this is how they used to do it before industrialized bread became a thing. Thanks for watching!!
Thanks for this tutorial I feel more confident to try to make sourdough bread. I being watching other people tutorial for the last week, but Toda when I got the notification about your video I was so excited to watch and I was not disappointed at all . I was praying for good tutorial ,also after I being watching a lot of video from you I said to myself I hope she make a video about bread. Sorry about the long message but I love your channel and how you do everything and how your family is so helpful that I can go on on . Thanks a lot for sharing your videos. May the lord bless you guys.
You can add orange juice as a substitute for part of the water and that will add to the rise and also help with the bitterness that some whole wheats have.. the bread is gorgeous!! good for you!!
As a german guy i put in the last raising stadium a few spices to the dough esp. fennel, caraway seed, and anise. If you give it a try, start with a low amount of the spices, and then adjust to your personell taste. And i agree with your statment the much longer on rest the better it will get. When i make bread i use only rye flower which makes a realy intense taste.
my sourdough breads have gotten so much more satisfying since I have stopped "feeding" the starter, I only refresh it now after reading some baker's blogs. the difference is: you don't carry over all the old culture, you take a fresh glass, only 5-10 grams(!) of the starter, 50 grams of whole grain flour (of the same kind that the starter is made from, in my case rye, as my breads mainly consist of rye and spelt) and 50 grams of room temperature water. let that sit for 5-10 hours loosely covered, roughly until it has doubled in volume and transfer it into a new jar. now you have the ideal starter to bake a delicious bread from. ideally I do that once a week, but it will hold out longer. but the older it is, the less amount of old starter you want to transfer into the new culture, as it is aged and the enzymes have kind of slowed down. after refreshing, the starter should be full of big bubbles and smell sour, not sweet.
I am so glad you know that you don't have to throw it away. That's why I stooped years ago. I hated the waste. I'm still confused that EVERY SINGLE CHANNEL USES DIFFERENT GRAM WEIGHTS. Why. Does bread still come out ok ???
Thank you for this recipe! I would also love to see a video of the different kinds of flour you use in your cooking, and which ones work best for you in different recipes :)
Very good tutorial. I can do this process. I laughed after you mixed it all up. I thought you were picking raw dough off the spatula, but your hand was so small. Love the little helpers.
Thank you I'm always working on bettering my sourdough and I hardly ever see people doing them with whole wheats and having them have such a nice crumb and having them rise so high Also- love your slippers, I wear the same kind around the house!
Hey Bekki&family, you don't know how much you started to influence me! I started to watch 1-2 of your wonderful videos nearly everyday when taking a break as your videos are so relaxing and inspiring! So in addition to what I wrote below other videos let me add here that I made a healthy omlette with onions and tomato instead of going for the normal unhealthy treat and now I started my own sourdough starter - due to you inspiring me! Thankyou so much! Greetings from a German in Northeast India who badly misses good bread and who - like you used to - cannot digest wheat well. I am excited to bake once the starter is ready 🥖🥖🥖
I love the realness of your video. I've never made sourdough bread but an going to now. Do you have a video on a starter? I could not find one in your videos.
Been working on my sourdough for a coupe of years and still not satisfied with it. Will keep trying. Thanks for the recipe and tutorial. God Bless and stay safe.
Just followed your instructions and baked this morning - LOVED THE RESULTS! Thank you for providing this information. The bottom of my loaf that I baked in the Marquette Dutch oven was very hard. What did I do wrong? I did preheat the pot in the 450 degree oven and put a bit of Spelt flour in the bottom when I added the dough.
So happy to see you trying the recipe! For the hardness issue, perhaps adjusting the oven rack height, and maybe taking the bread a few minutes earlier. The bottom of our loaves are hard, but not so hard we can't cut thru it. Might just be the nature of dutch oven sourdough 🍞
I used your code after the white chili video and got a Dutch oven from them and I love it! So beautiful and such high quality. I didn't want to spend the money on a le creuset and the lodge Dutch oven has a curved bottom which I dislike for my glass cooktop. Thank you for sharing I had never heard of the company before.
@@TheSeasonalHomestead I need to order a second one I just bought one Las week this is before I find your channel I bought it from a company based in Germany I'm not quite sure about the quality so was wondering how is the quality of the enamel for que one you have. If you can show a quick video of the inside.
This is so beautiful to watch!!! I don’t know why I’m a bit scared to try making sourdough bread. I have a huge issue with food. Meaning disgusting… intestinal. I totally understand you when you talk about your health issues. Bread ( regular)is a hard thing for me to eat…… I need to look into the different flours……. I just use almond flour or tapioca flour or oat flour…… Thank you for sharing……. I have watched this video many times Just beautiful and relaxing to watch!!!
@@AmandaWoolsey I don't have a video on that yet. Sometimes we grind two gallons worth at a time for convenience of use. But other times we do it right before we use it. From what I've heard, it has the maximum amount of nutrients if you grind it right before use. We store the flour in the recycled bucket you saw in the video. All other grains we store in 5 gallon buckets with gamma seal lids. This video has our pantry and I show some of the storage. ua-cam.com/video/UfpuLMDAakY/v-deo.html Skip to about 4:14 into the video to see it.
Hello SH, thanks for your videos just seen the preparations for canning and your family is awesome love your video on how making started and making the breads is two of my wants to even try yet, for some reason I’m a little afraid of the process on canning, thanks and blessings
I’m so happy to have found you on UA-cam! We just bought some acreage and are looking to build on it. I love your house and we have the same size family. Is it a custom design? I’d love to hear a little more about some of your house design choices, if you’d be willing to share
Thank you Chelsea, and congrats on your acreage!! For our house, we found a design online that we liked, and made some modifications to better fit our needs. After a few versions from the architect, here we are!!
Yes and yes :) One of them is the induction range, the other one is the electric range. We really really like them. Order yours now, cause it took ours six months to get here, sheesh!
If I’m letting it rise in a basket, I flip it over when I put it in the preheated pan. In that case I do not cover it. For if it’s rising in a loaf pan and doesn’t get flipped over, I cover it.
I have heard that starters can last generations and some people pass them down. How long have you had your current starter? What’s the longest you’ve kept one? Love this video thanks!!!
My starter was given to me by a friend, who said she got it from her friend who teaches sourdough classes, who got it from a guy in NYC that said it was several hundred years old. I've never let it die since I've had it and it's been eight years.
How are you using your milled flour, you use hard white wheat and soft white wheat? We just invested into a mill in the kitchen and it's hard to figure out the hydration. Thanks! Hope you see this question. 🙏🙏
Lasts about a week before getting really dry and starting to mold. At our place, two loaves usually get's eaten in a day or two!! We bake a lot of bread :) We store it in a clear plastic bag in our bread drawer. Thanks for watching!
This was a great tutorial showing the ease of weighing using tare in addition to folding techniques. Like you I have difficulty digesting bread. I was able to get a starter from a friend, however, it isn't "sour" like I've had in the past and I notice I still have some digestion problems. Can you recommend a place to buy a legitimate sour dough starter? I am very inspired each time I watch one of your videos - actually have added another garden bed.
I use einkorn flour for my sourdough and it has helped my issues with gluten a lot. Do you find the hand-ground flour makes a difference? Do you use anything special, sourdough or anything, for your other baked goods such as pie crust? Thanks!
How much does your jar weigh? Is your jar a mason jar? You use equal amounts of flour and water so is there 150 grams of starter in the jar when you feed it?
So both the written and the video is for 2 loaves of bread? Or did you double it to make the 2 in the video but gave measurements for a single loaf? I'm new to this and don't want to make to much and waist it
What you should do when you have any digestive problems is eat a kg of yoghurt a day for ten days to restore the lining in your gut so the bacteria can regenerate any holes in that lining which may cause any skin problems or hormonal changes due to leaky gut.
I sadly lost my wife of 46 years to cancer last year. She used to make sourdough bread, the aroma of fresh sourdough bread baking is amazing. Watching you make this bread has brought back some good memories. God bless.
I am so so sorry for your loss. Sending a gentle hug to you.
Maybe take a sourdough bread making course in her honour?

@@athia37 yes it does. I have found that you need to let it proof overnight in the fridge to really get that sourdough flavour.

Thankyou so much! Greetings from a German in Northeast India who badly misses good bread and who - like you used to - cannot digest wheat well. I am excited to bake once the starter is ready 🥖🥖🥖
I love the realness of your video. I've never made sourdough bread but an going to now. Do you have a video on a starter? I could not find one in your videos.
Been working on my sourdough for a coupe of years and still not satisfied with it. Will keep trying. Thanks for the recipe and tutorial. God Bless and stay safe.
Thank you for this tutorial. I also mill our whole wheat and would like to start making sourdough.
You may never go back to "normal" bread after sourdough, so watch out!! :)
Am from Kenya I enjoy making sourdough ts delicious
Just followed your instructions and baked this morning - LOVED THE RESULTS! Thank you for providing this information. The bottom of my loaf that I baked in the Marquette Dutch oven was very hard. What did I do wrong? I did preheat the pot in the 450 degree oven and put a bit of Spelt flour in the bottom when I added the dough.
So happy to see you trying the recipe! For the hardness issue, perhaps adjusting the oven rack height, and maybe taking the bread a few minutes earlier. The bottom of our loaves are hard, but not so hard we can't cut thru it. Might just be the nature of dutch oven sourdough 🍞
I used your code after the white chili video and got a Dutch oven from them and I love it! So beautiful and such high quality. I didn't want to spend the money on a le creuset and the lodge Dutch oven has a curved bottom which I dislike for my glass cooktop. Thank you for sharing I had never heard of the company before.
Absolutely! So glad you like it! We love ours too. I’ve been using it so much this winter.
@@TheSeasonalHomestead I need to order a second one I just bought one Las week this is before I find your channel I bought it from a company based in Germany I'm not quite sure about the quality so was wondering how is the quality of the enamel for que one you have.
If you can show a quick video of the inside.
This is so beautiful to watch!!! I don’t know why I’m a bit scared to try making sourdough bread. I have a huge issue with food. Meaning disgusting… intestinal.
I totally understand you when you talk about your health issues.
Bread ( regular)is a hard thing for me to eat…… I need to look into the different flours……. I just use almond flour or tapioca flour or oat flour……
Thank you for sharing……. I have watched this video many times
Just beautiful and relaxing to watch!!!
Thank you!
Ngl I barely know how to cook, let alone make bread from scratch. Watching this vid was just chill, like watching a painter paint
Awesome!! Glad you enjoyed it, Timothy.
If you have an electric knife that should cut the sandwich bread easier for you. also start from the bottom to the top
Love this !!! I so want to make this !!!
Do you have a video on grinding your flour? Is it homegrown (which I know can be tricky) or Azure or similar?
Azure, cool. Do you have a video on bulk grinding/storage I guess would be the rest of my question
@@AmandaWoolsey I don't have a video on that yet. Sometimes we grind two gallons worth at a time for convenience of use. But other times we do it right before we use it. From what I've heard, it has the maximum amount of nutrients if you grind it right before use. We store the flour in the recycled bucket you saw in the video. All other grains we store in 5 gallon buckets with gamma seal lids. This video has our pantry and I show some of the storage. ua-cam.com/video/UfpuLMDAakY/v-deo.html Skip to about 4:14 into the video to see it.
@@TheSeasonalHomestead thanks for the detailed explanation! I hope to learn more about this whole process :)
Beautiful breads!
looks delicious
Hello SH, thanks for your videos just seen the preparations for canning and your family is awesome love your video on how making started and making the breads is two of my wants to even try yet, for some reason I’m a little afraid of the process on canning, thanks and blessings
Love this!!!!!!! Best tutorial ever!!!
❤️❤️❤️
I completely agree, Cam 👏❤️😁
Remember, good bread needs it´s time to raise and like she said not to warm, better in the cold
Becky, would you mind sharing about your bread knife? I looks very interesting and I haven't seen one like it before. Thank you!
Unrelated question: Do you recommend your food dehydrator? I think it's an Excalibur? (Please correct if incorrect).
I’m so happy to have found you on UA-cam! We just bought some acreage and are looking to build on it. I love your house and we have the same size family. Is it a custom design? I’d love to hear a little more about some of your house design choices, if you’d be willing to share
Thank you Chelsea, and congrats on your acreage!! For our house, we found a design online that we liked, and made some modifications to better fit our needs. After a few versions from the architect, here we are!!
Another great video! I just pulled 2 sourdough boules from the oven myself.
What is the make and model of those ranges in your kitchen? Love their looks and want to get one for our own home!
GE Cafe Black Matte with Brushed Bronze handles? Is this CES700P3MD1 or CHS900P3MD1?
Yes and yes :) One of them is the induction range, the other one is the electric range. We really really like them. Order yours now, cause it took ours six months to get here, sheesh!
thanks for that very straight forward and well made video. question...do you cover your dough during cold fermentation?
If I’m letting it rise in a basket, I flip it over when I put it in the preheated pan. In that case I do not cover it. For if it’s rising in a loaf pan and doesn’t get flipped over, I cover it.
I have heard that starters can last generations and some people pass them down. How long have you had your current starter? What’s the longest you’ve kept one? Love this video thanks!!!
My starter was given to me by a friend, who said she got it from her friend who teaches sourdough classes, who got it from a guy in NYC that said it was several hundred years old. I've never let it die since I've had it and it's been eight years.
@@TheSeasonalHomestead that’s amazing!!
@@TheSeasonalHomestead that’s really really awesome!
Beautiful!
Thank you!
How are you using your milled flour, you use hard white wheat and soft white wheat? We just invested into a mill in the kitchen and it's hard to figure out the hydration. Thanks! Hope you see this question. 🙏🙏
What kind of mill do you use to grind your flour?
Love it!going to have to try it also i love your shirts so simple and nice where do you get them from shop?
LOVE your videooos!!❤️
You’re so skilled
What if you bake the full loaf (instead of dividing like you did)? Will the time and temperature be the same? I tried and the bread got half baked…
Love all your content! Where is your stove from??
Thank you! Stoves are both GE Cafe in matte black. Matching set :) Much cheaper than any 60" professional stove!
Beautiful bread!!!🤩
Excellent tutorial! More please- kimchi for beginners tutorial?
If you use it, I would love a kamut/ khorasan wheat (freshly milled, not store bought ) sourdough tutorial! Either way, thank you for the content.
What do you keep your bread in that doesn't let it dry out too quickly? Thank you for sharing your life with us! :) God Bless You and your family.
Do you make your sandwich loaf with the dough exactly like that?
Great tutorial
Thank you! Cheers!
I gave up bread for a month and get great. Reintroduced it and felt terrible. I will give this a go - thanks.
Another great video from you.
Oooo ... need to see wheat grinding into flour. 🙂
Hi! Loved the video. Do you have any recommendations where to buy a starter? Also any recommendations for tools on making sourdough?
I love the recipe
Thank you 😊
How good is the bread for after making? How long does it last before molding. Is it best to leave it out or put away?
Lasts about a week before getting really dry and starting to mold. At our place, two loaves usually get's eaten in a day or two!! We bake a lot of bread :) We store it in a clear plastic bag in our bread drawer. Thanks for watching!
@@TheSeasonalHomestead Thank you for the response! very helpful. :D
This was a great tutorial showing the ease of weighing using tare in addition to folding techniques. Like you I have difficulty digesting bread. I was able to get a starter from a friend, however, it isn't "sour" like I've had in the past and I notice I still have some digestion problems. Can you recommend a place to buy a legitimate sour dough starter? I am very inspired each time I watch one of your videos - actually have added another garden bed.
Very small tip but 100g water = 100 ml water. Makes weighing out the water a lot easier.
I use einkorn flour for my sourdough and it has helped my issues with gluten a lot. Do you find the hand-ground flour makes a difference? Do you use anything special, sourdough or anything, for your other baked goods such as pie crust? Thanks!
How much does your jar weigh? Is your jar a mason jar? You use equal amounts of flour and water so is there 150 grams of starter in the jar when you feed it?
Becky unrelated to this video but where do you get your coveralls? I’m in need of a few pairs.
Coveralls are from Dovetail Workwear. Have two pairs now, cause they are so comfortable...and flattering too :)
@@TheSeasonalHomestead thank you for responding! I agree not only are they practical but they do look great!
So both the written and the video is for 2 loaves of bread? Or did you double it to make the 2 in the video but gave measurements for a single loaf? I'm new to this and don't want to make to much and waist it
What you should do when you have any digestive problems is eat a kg of yoghurt a day for ten days to restore the lining in your gut so the bacteria can regenerate any holes in that lining which may cause any skin problems or hormonal changes due to leaky gut.
But how do I make the starter to begin with! Please help I’ve been wanting to do this forever
How much water would you use if it was all hard white wheat? Not spelt.
