I love bread, so much so that I could marry it. Once I have a slice I will eat the whole loaf. It makes me fat and I can’t control myself so I have to give it up. I watch these videos like a crazy woman stalking her ex on social media. I miss it so much 😭😭😭.
I've seen every single sourdough video currently on KZread. Allll of them. This is by far the best and the only one I watch every time I want to bake a loaf. No filler, no fluff. Just direct, to the point and crystal clear. Every important detail worth mentioning is in here any detail not worth mentioning is not. Thank you for providing the best sourdough video on the web.

Ditto to the lady who says she has watched every sourdough video. I agree 100%. Over the too thrilled to have found Grant Bakes videos. I stopped baking sour dough bread for two years and needed a refresh. Easy peasy and very delicious. Thankyou Grant. @@GrantBakes

Totally agree. Even the starter method works so well. I thought it wouldn't and here I am seeing my starter double in size with just 25g of starter. It's unbelievable

Totally agree…..TOTALLY! 👍🏼
I'm new to making sourdough, so I'm watching a LOT of videos and bought a sourdough book at Barnes & Noble. What really surprises me is the vast difference in recipes, techniques, resting time, and baking time for a simple sourdough bread. I had assumed there was a standard method everyone uses, but that is not the case. Different types of flour, different protein percentages, different amounts of water and flour, very different resting and baking times, etc. It makes it hard to learn what is the correct way, when all the videos say their way is the correct way. I do like this video, easy to understand and follow.
This was the most coherent and simplest video I’ve seen. Covers all the basics without unnecessary waffle 😊

I just made my own starter, my first two loaves were dense. I found this video and my loaves came out beautiful, fluffy and delicious. Even my friends who have been making sour dough bread for years couldn’t believe how amazing my bread looked. ❤❤❤
I followed your instructions from a previous video with great results. Followed these instructions with even better results! PICTURE PERFECT!
I love how to keep starter small! Thanks for sharing all the significant details!
Lovely! Simple and what a great result ! Thank you Grant!
Everybody learning about sourdough needs to come to your channel. Your methods are simple and loaves are delicious. Thank you!

@@bluebearh3 I understand. I've had to turn off some bread baking videos because they just talked too much. For bread baking in general, there are five that I really like. For sourdough specifically, I'd have to say one of my favorites is Foodgeek. He does have some content that isn't entirely about bread, as he does other foods occasionally. But his channel is primarily a sourdough bread channel.

You covered absolutely every important detail. Great job
Thank you for posting this update! I’ve been following your fool proof recipe for over a year now!
Baked my first loaf with your starter guide together with this masterclass. Unlike others videos, very straight forward guide and amazing outcome!
Love your simple explanations from beginning to end ❤
I finally got the perfect loaf after many recipes thanks to you. I got a great crunch on the outside and a good airy inside.
Made this today and it turned out exactly as described. Thank you!
I love your no nonsense method. 👏🏼🤗 thank you!!
Best video and description I have seen. I tried this recipe and it works anytime.
This was the best and simplest explanation! Thank you
Finally, my sourdough bread came out perfect like yours. I've followed so many videos with disappointing result but yours was the best! I thank you!😊
Thanks for a great tutorial without all the other chit chat that others do. Clear and concise and straight to the point. Awesome. Look forward to my first loaf this week as I’m still in the process of getting dehydrated starter bread making ready. Brilliant video. ❤
Thank you so much for this video. I haven’t been able to make the perfect loaf before this video. I followed it to a T and my results were equally as beautiful as yours! Happy New Year!
So glad I found your account gives out recipes and measurements, not long and easy to follow instructions and gets to the point. Doesn’t add unnecessary steps and unnecessary talk about how sourdough is so therapeutic and saved their life.
This is a fantastic recipe. I baked my loaf this morning and it turned out just beautiful! So easy! I can actually say I love making sourdough bread now. Thank you Grant!
This video is so clear and informative. I’m totally new to sourdough. This video makes me feel that I can do it.
O M G. I have watched so many and it always seems so complicated but yours is so easy. I am making bread with a friend this weekend. I cannot thank you enough - your bread looks amazing!
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate how well you explain things and common questions. I was trying to figure out if I should cover the dough before refrigeration and you thought to address it. THANK YOU for sharing your experience for the rest of us!
Wow, I like this. I have used more than a dozen different recipes, and while they are all similar, I’m gonna take these steps. And thank you for providing a quick tutorial without all the unnecessary time watching completion of every second. Great job!
After trawling through many many videos on KZread, this was the easiest and the best. Thank you!
thank you - you have answered so many of my questions! Great video!
Made this bread today. Turned out Great !! Best loaf I've made so far in my sourdough journey. 😊 TY
Thank you Grant😊 love the video with nice explanation in making the sourdough. I will make this bread
Thanks for these minor adjustments. I have made many loaves in the past but your recipe and method are by far the best and I achieve a wonderful rise. Thanks.
I just made this as my first sourdough loaf and it turned out perfect!!
this is a very concise and coherent tutorial! Bravo!
That's a lovely loaf right there! Nice work & thanks for sharing your recipe & tips.
Grant , thank you for great recipe ! How many times I baked - never had a problem!!!! Bravo 👏
Another excellent easy to understand video!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!💜💙 I have watched at least 16 other channels trying to find an easy foolproof recipe/method. Most were confusing and long and drawn out and just yapping talking heads. Yours is my top pick. Clear, easy, and filming matched what you were talking about. Your loaf was so beautiful I tried and AMAZINGLY MY LOAF CAME OUT BEAUTIFULLY too! 🩵💚I can't thank you enough!💛🧡 PS I subscribed of course and will be a dedicated fan forever! ❤🩷
Thank you for sharing this video! I am still learning and will try your technique
Thank you so much Grant for a wonderful recipe! My first sourdough bake was an absolute success. The key to a good rise is the tap on the bowl after every stretch and fold 😆
You’ve made doing sourdough so much earlier and uncomplicated for me. I’ve made 4 loafs using your technique and recipe and they all come out fantastic. As well the length of the videos are perfect, in 12 minutes you explain perfectly. Thank you.
Just started my starter 🤷🏼♀️ wish me luck , yours is the easiest tutorial i have watched thankyou.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Just baked a beautiful loaf of sourdough with your help after 4 months of failed attempts from other recipes 😊
This is the best sourdough bread making video/recipe. The bread came out great. Your written recipe as well as this video is very precise and to the point. Thank you very much!
thank you so much. This so sooo easy to follow unlike all the other videos i saw!
You have made my new journey with sourdough so easy!!! Thank you thank you 🙏🏼
I followed this technique and my sourdough finally turned out perfect! Thanks!!
Thank you! You came to my rescue twice this week. The end result was the best results I've ever had with sourdough bread. I've made our regular bread for about 50 years but the sourdough process wasn't working for me until I watched your videos. So easy to follow and succeed with. The proof was that I made it again right away to more rave reviews at my house. Again thank yo from Barb C.
BEST you tube on sour dough!! Thank you!! You make it so easy…………
Omg !!! I have been into sourdough just for 2 weeks only, tried making sourdough 5 times with different recipes and methods I learnt from youtube, the 5th one I made with your recipe and method, my sourdough is a perfection for a beginner like me. It turned out so beautiful and I couldn't ask for more. My husband had it for lunch and he loved it. I am so so happy. I purchased your No-nonsense sourdough ebook and am so excited to start the journey. Thank you so so much
OMG I’ve been trying to bake sourdough bread for weeks, I followed so many others and they all turned as flops. Found you and I made a really nice loaf. Thank you so much 😊 you are the best🎉congratulations!
This looks so easy. I’m working on building a starter now. 😊
Thank you for making this video, a beginner to sourdough and was easy to follow along !!
So glad I found you I was getting nervous about this sourdough journey you made me at ease
Great recipe. Took my first loaf out of the oven this morning. This is the first time I've been able to bake a perfect loaf of bread.
Can’t wait to try this 👏🏼 Thank you ❤️
I bought his ebook and this book game changer,so simple and good
Just made this a few days ago and was very happy with this recipe. Thank you.
Made my first loaf today using this video , came out perfect !! Thanks !
Thanks for sharing this.I tried your Sourdough Pullman loaf bread . It is fool proof perfect recipe. Comes out perfect each time tried with different flour combinations thanks
I’ve been making sourdough for a long time. This is the best recipe and method out there. I’ve made this 5x now. I added an additional stretch & fold and my bulk ferment added time was 4 hours. Amazing spring in my loaf, excellent crust & crumb. Thx 🙏
Very pleased with results.
This was the best sourdough I have made, came out nice and crusty and the crumb is perfect, tastes wonderful, it also lasted in a bread bag for over 5 days! Thanks so much for sharing....
Grant, I have attempted wild-fermented sourdough bread for years, but my two worst issues have been maintaining an active starter and timing. Especially timing. Your method is so simple and straightforward. I followed your directions exactly as you presented them… and I ended up with the most perfect artisan loaf I have ever made. Thank you!!!

Hey man...I've been following this video religiously for the last month or so and have made the BEST sourdough bread that I've ever made. Thanks for this...I'll be following it for a very, very, very long time. Cheers!
Thank you! using the recipe and instructions I succeeded to bake my first sourdough bread!
Fantastic bake. Very creative and dialed in. What you've shown here is a hybrid of what I've seen from two other bakers. I stopped baking sourdough and it has been about a year. This video leaves me feeling inspired to pick it up again.
Gotta be the cleanest full make and bake SD video out there. Efficacy. Good stuff
I almost threw in the towel in regards to baking sourdough! You make it so easy to follow along! Thank you for your easy to understand instructions and video! You have a new follower for life!
great tips and clear steps, thank you
I've been watching videos trying to get this Sourdough thing right, and your video has been the most beginner friendly by far, you covered every step of the way perfectly without going off topic. So I followed your steps exactly and now I have a beautiful Sourdough loaf that looks and tastes wonderful. Thank you so much. Bravo 👏👏👏
This was so simplified and easy😅 subscribed! I've watch so many and just made my first loaf I over did it on the bulk ferment but it's all good here goes round two
Great tutorial here, Grant!
Appreciate your experience, going to try your tip, leave out of fridge for hour after final shaping, makes sense, get that head start rise, thanks!
Thanks! Until this video, my bread was just ok. Now it is the biggest most beautiful loaf ever! This is definitely your best sourdough video. The multiple 1st round stretch and folds made a world of difference and I like also the changing of the bowls and adding a little oil. I also noticed a pan under your dutch oven which has been great for not burning the bottom of my sourdough loaf. Thank you again! You are amazing!😁
This video is the very best I've seen anywhere, straight to the point and no flannel. Just made my first decent sourdough loaf of bread, not quite as high as yours but reasonable, maybe proofed a bit too long before putting in the fridge overnight, still got the ear though. Many thanks. Will be watching many more of your video's. Keep up the very good work.
I followed you recipe except the baking part because i don’t have dutch oven. It turns out a success. You are right this yield a bread with small bubbles insidd but I love it because then I have no problem of my jam dripping🙌🏻🙌🏻
I just want to say thank you so much. I have been struggling for the past 3 months. My recipe, hydration has alway been the same as yours. Always make a dense loaf with minimal oven spring. Yesterday I watched your video and used your technique of final folding and forming. I have just pulled a loaf out that has big spring and a beautiful size ear. Thank you so much. So grateful 🇦🇺
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Hi Grant! thank you for your video. I picked yours for my first loaf because it was the simplest to follow but I watched a couple others before I started. I did 5 stretch and folds and covered my bread during the bench rest but otherwise followed your steps the rest of the way. My dough was much more sticky and harder to handle than yours appeared and that is why I added a couple more stretch and folds. Glad I did because the finished product was great! Thanks for helping me make my first loaf of sourdough bread with your simple video! I am enjoying it right now with a hot bowl of fresh chicken & dumpling soup! Wish I could post a pic for you! Sugar Geek is the other channel that I loved, her video helped me to not freak out when my bread was much stickier than yours!
Thank you so much for this recipe. I made my first sourdough bread this morning. September 15th 2023. Thanks for simplifying the process. I didn't use any special tools, it turned out good in my opinion. I wish I could post a picture.
I made mine today and its fantastic! Thank you! I tried two other recipes and both didn't work then i lost interest. I came across your videos and you motivated me again. Prepared a new starter then made the bread and it turned out great on the first try!
Thank you for this. I’ve been reading a book about making starter and sourdough that was gifted to me. It piqued my interest, but has explained so little and added a lot of extra steps. Perhaps they’re helpful, but I couldn’t tell you why. I can tell you about the author’s daily routines and family life though. Nice, but unhelpful. I appreciate that you include all of the required information. You’re clear, concise and you explain every step and why you’re performing each step. You also did it in about 10 minutes. Brilliant.
I've tried out at least 8 variations and this method, by far produced the absolute best crumb and crust! Thank you so much for sharing your secrets with us!
I can only agree with everyone here. Hi from Germany btw. I watched so many videos and read books about sour dough. Your video is the first one that looks less complicated and voila,it worked 🎉. Thank you!
I keep saying 'wow... look at that'. I am in awe! Thanks for this.
❤❤best recipe ever! Thank you!!
Excellent video, friend. Thank you for sharing
Grant, Not sure how the algorithms lead me to you but glad I’m here! I’d only done three loaves on my prior to seeing this episode. What a beautiful and different looking loaf the 4th one produced. I wish I could add a photo I’m that proud. Enjoying your vlogs!! 🍞❤ Thanks 😃
Thank you so much! You are the best. I've just bake the perfect sourdough bread.
Finally a sourdough recipe that made a perfect loaf. Open crumb, gorgeous oven spring and beyond delicious. Thank you, Grant, for the wonderful recipe and very helpful tutorial!❤❤❤
Wow’ this recipe gives me hope that I can finally make my own bread. Looks so pretty.
