Brød and Taylor proofer 👌🏼 Guarantees a lively starter when I decide. Stops me being a slave to the starter … avoids the it’s nearly bedtime but it’s active so I must bake!

I love my Dutch Ovens Gor baking breads,I have all sizes,I feel what ever floats your boat

We use very similar tools. But three things additionally that I recommend is a dough whisk, a silicon bread liner instead of parchment paper, and this nifty device that I keep in my flour container that allows me to easily shake sifted flour on top evenly! All are inexpensive and make my life so much simpler

I love my dough whisk!

So helpful! I love all of your recipes and it’s so helpful as a new sourdough baker to have these tips and tricks. Fingers crossed for an oval banneton for Christmas!

Small spatula for dishing out the leaven. Plastic dough scraper. I like an inexpensive set of grade 5 plastic chemistry beakers for mixing up the leaven in. If you break your glass starter jar just one time you'll know why. If you already have an old bread machine they make a great little mixer.

I also use a 'bowl' scraper - flexible curved plastic: excellent aid to hand bowl mixing. Have also use a Danish dough whisk - helps with large bowls of flour mixing in of wet ingredients. Thanks for the links!

Nice! I have used both as well. A Danish dough whisk is so nice. Maybe I’ll get one again.

Thanks for the great channel. For less expensive parchment paper, we've been using air fryer liners. Keep the great content coming. Chow for now.

Thanks Grant👍🏻

Great video! In addition to many of the tools you mentioned, I always use a metal dredge shaker (like an extra large salt shaker, the kind you might see in pizza shops for garlic powder and oregano) for rice flour, which I sprinkle inside my banneton baskets to keep the dough from sticking.

Great idea!

I bought a heavy Dutch oven for baking SDough bread, but found an oval enamel roasting pan at a thrift store, and like it even better! It’s much lighter in weight, heats fast & works well in my oven, which only heats to 425. I do use a footprint of parchment paper on bottom, plus the parchment paper that the loaf gets baked in. And the small enamel roasting pans sell for under $20 on you know where. 😊

I use one, too. I love it. It cools down so quickly. I found one at a flea market for 6 bucks.

Hi. I have been wanting to try this roasting pan. Do you preheat the pan like you would with the Dutch oven?

Hvala!!!!!! Mnogo sam naučila gledajući vaš kanal. Hvala što nesebično delite vaše znanje.

Thank you!

Great video…thank you. I also use the Danish dough hook for mixing, a small plastic scraper for getting the last bits of flour from the bowl, and the extra large shaker with rice flour for dusting banneton baskets…..

Thanks for sharing! I’ll need to use one of these shakers.

Can you make a sourdough scone video? Love your videos! Thanks for all the sourdough videos.

Thanks for all the videos, they've been very helpful. It would be nice if you had an affiliate link to your favorite bread knife.

Good video, thanks. And nobody was made to feel like they need a $1,000 imported mixer. Do you use a Danish dough whisk in your bread-making? Thanks.

I don’t own one anymore, but a Danish dough whisk has been mentioned a few times in the comments!

If you have had an increase in viewership lately, I'm the guilty one. I've been getting good folks to view your expert instructions, Thanks for helping all of us,

YOU are the reason! Thanks! I really appreciate you sharing the videos around. Glad to be of help.

A timer is useful. I know there are apps you can download but I like to keep it simple. Have a magnetic one on the fridge that doesn't require batteries. I use it all the time. The only downside is it makes a horrible sound.

What size USA loaf pan would be best for the average sourdough loaf? They have 1, 1.25 and 1.5 available. I am new to sourdough baking but my instinct tells me maybe one of the larger capacity pans?

For all of my loaves I’ve use the smaller one that I linked to. Seems to work well for me.

I've tried almost every lame available and settled on a barber straight razor.

I make my sourdough in loaf pans. Loaf pans are cheaper, lighter and easier to use.

Do you place the loaf pan in some sort of Dutch oven or cover it with something?

@paulachristie7807

​@bumblebee5051 yes I put another loaf pan upside down on top making a "poor man's Dutch oven". It's not necessary though, I've baked them without it

Combo cooker > challenger. The Challenger just isn't versatile enough. The awkward size fits nowhere. A combo cooker can do it all

My sourdough bread recipe makes a loaf that fits perfectly.

The razor blade and holder (a lame") is not a "lam." It is French, and pronounced "Lam-ay." There is a trend to pronounce it "lam," but it has been pronounced "lam-ay" for-freakin-ever. To do otherwise is like pronouncing bread as "brad," or sourdough as "sour-dighter." Google has a pronunciation function.

Google Translate and some French people have told me before that it’s actually pronounced “lehm.” Just double checked on google translate’s pronunciation function to confirm this. I will continue to pronounce it “lam” though unless I’m speaking French 🇫🇷 which, as a linguaphile and former Spanish teacher, I would love to more of one day.

Sorry, you would be incorrect. It is not lam-ay, which is a fabric, but rather it’s pronounced lahm, a baking tool. As you not so politely put it “for-freakin-ever”. How about simply enjoying Grant’s baking videos?
