Too bad about the loud "foreground" music. It spoiled the video, and I could not finish watching.

Sorry guys the background music was a little to foreground for me. Yes I know it was one of Dr Will's compositions, however it was too distracting for me. Either lower the volume, after all it is background music or give Madeline a lapel mic (they are really inexpensive) - All the best..

I love your recipe yet you're supposed to soak your clay pot to keep it from cracking. That's my understanding yet as far as your recipe I absolutely loved it great job.

I would have enjoyed the bread making, but can’t really understand the vocal because the background music is too distracting…

I just love these videos! Thank you both for creating them. The Römertopf is beautiful and the bread dough and finished product both look gorgeous. I love Madeleine's intuition, skill and creativity! 🙂 I love hearing Will's commentary as well while he is filming. What a great couple! You two have created the best, vegan, peaceful, abundant life that I would like to emulate. I admire you both so much! ❤💚

I bake my 1 pound, round sourdough bread loaves in 8" stainless steel, dog water bowls from Dollar Tree that don't need to be preheated and cost $2.50 for 2. One is for resting, proofing and cooking and one for a cover. Plus they won't break if dropped.

You never showed if you soaked the pot in water before and I thought you were supposed to put it in a cold oven

I really wanted to watch and listen to your video. I tried a couple of times but I couldn't understand what you were saying due to the piano music in the background drowning out your voice. I would love to see this video again without background music. Thank you for sharing

Sorry to say this but I was distracted from your good information by the too loud background music.

That’s a nice big loaf. I am a home bread baker and I have a smaller Romertopf baker, and it’s great. You put that in a hot oven, I don’t? Afraid of thermal shock, so I preheat. So your bread isn’t a true sourdough but with yeast added, is called a hybrid. They are nice loaves and give some perk.

You remind me of my mom’s cooking… a bit of this, a bit more or less of this…and it always came out delicious! Love your method of mixing instant yeast and levain. Thiank you for sharing with us.

Thank you Madeline!

Love the light of your house

Beautiful!

Great recipe thank you!!

Fresh homebaked bread is so good. Thank you for the video!

Perfect solution with dough hook, but the key difference and advantage of Roemmertopf is that the lid and, if not glazed, the base, are presoaked in water for 20 minutes or so with Roemmertopf placed into cold oven. That gives the dough the steamed rise. More steamed than, let's say, in the cast iron pot.

👏looks great! Love the clay pot!

Lovely lady. Good info. Interesting to see you do not pre-heat the Römertopf.

My Romertopf says to soak the clay pot for 15-20 minutes and start in a cold oven
