I stumbled across this video and gave it a try. I’m a senior citizen, and I never made bread in my life except those breads that require baking powder and baking soda. Before baking, I topped the loaf with a seasoning from Trader Joe’s called “everything but the bagel.“ I baked two loaves, and both times they came out perfect. I almost never leave comments anywhere but I was so grateful for this video that I felt I had to write.

​@walidali6090 You'll need less table salt, as the kosher salt is very large/corse.

I've been making this bread for years and have a few tips. I pour the water into the bowl first, then add the flour/yeast mix. I use a Danish dough whisk to mix it all together and it comes together in seconds. I also place a silicone pad on the bottom of the heated pot before I place the dough into it. This prevents burning on the bottom. Also, if you don't have a cast iron Dutch oven, Walmart carries some that cost around $40 and they work perfectly. I have one LeCreuset and one from Walmart. They bake the bread equally well.

@@dianacale5313 yes. John is right about using light enameled cast iron pots. They will become permanently discolored. I have honestly baked over a thousand loaves of this bread, mostly sharing it with friends and neighbors. My large oven holds two Dutch ovens at a time so I always bake two. Another tip is that this bread is really best eaten on the day it is baked. After that, it makes the best toast in the world.

John, let me preface with saying that my wife does the vast majority of the cooking (brilliant meals that I've enjoyed for years.) I currently have some time off work, and got a wild itch to try something new. I decided to use your recipe and instructions, terrified of ruining the bread the entire time. What came out of the oven was truly mind-blowing. I put rosemary and whole roasted garlic cloves in the dough prior to baking, and it turned out simply phenomenal. Thank you so much for igniting a new journey for me. I (and my wife) truly appreciate you. Will be following another recipe of yours very soon.

I have made this bread so many times that I do not count anymore. It is so good and easy to make. I have made many loaves for potlucks for seniors and they all love the bread and can't get enough. In fact, I get many requests to make them a loaf of this bread. I am right now making 7 loaves to give to the 7 individual seniors and will be making some more. This bread is so easy to make that I can make 2 to 3 loaves a day. Excellent recipe!!!!! Excellent taste!!!! Excellent texture!!!!!! This is the bread that I make most because it is so easy and so fast to make. I do make all kinds of bread, including sourdough, but this is my number one bread recipe that I use the most. My friends keep requesting a loaf--I just cannot make enough of it.

I had to stop and give a review.. this was the best bread recipe I’ve ever tried. Everyone in my family said it was delicious and soft. Better than anything you could buy in a store or bakery.

I make bread like this very often. You can actually leave it in the fridge for several days before baking it. The extra time proofing in the fridge makes it more flavourful. I don’t have a dutch oven so I heat up my pizza stone, place bread on it and put an inverted turkey roaster on top to trap the steam. Works like a charm.

I'd just like to add that if you are going to leave the dough to ferment in the fridge for more than 24 hours, you should decrease the yeast to 1 tsp or even 1/2 tsp. The reason is that even at that cool 40F (5C or so) the yeast will still be active and your dough WILL rise. If you were to leave the same amount of yeast as the recipe calls for, say for 72 hours (3 days) you'd have a Blob monster in your bowl! :D Just saying. This recipe is awesome, but folks should be aware what can happen if they forget to bake the dough the next day.

I’m here to relax and listen to John’s voice. It’s so calming and homey.

Dip that bread in a bowl of olive oil with Italian seasoning or garlic salt. Delicious. I also add Italian seasoning to it during the mixing process at the beginning .

You clever clever man. This is now my go-to bread recipe. Especially when time’s short. I do it almost daily. Last thing before bedtime, I just mix it up and pop it in the fridge. The next morning I bake it before I leave for work. It is an amazing bread and the recipe is foolproof. No sourdough for me, thanks! Life’s too short and we’ve all got busy work schedules to keep up with. Sourdough is lovely, but John’s bread here was just divine. I used to bake many other bread recipes that need your attention every hour or so. This is just perfect. Quick and just scrumptious!! Btw, I scaled it up a little bit, as the family is quite big and the loaf was a little small. I do it with 550g which gives us a size better suited to our family. So I do 550g flour, 8g salt, 440 ml of water and 9g of yeast (and a couple of teaspoons of sugar to wake up the yeast). It works amazingly.

I haven’t made bread since senior school more than 50 years ago, but I’m tempted to have a go at this recipe.🙂. Love watching you and thank you for all your wonderful videos.

@dreamlandjournal

Ай бұрын

@@diegoe1918 my recipe’s around 2/3 of John’s to make a smaller loaf, taking into account the size of my oven. I think the ratio of the different flours is somewhat forgiving, so it's possible to juggle around the amount, so long as the total flour weight remain roughly the same as below (~310g) - this may also affect the amount of water you use due to the flours' different water absorption capacity, you will need to slowly test it out while you mix the dough. anyway here's my current recipe: • 220 g white bread flour • 45g dark rye flour • 45g whole wheat flour • 7 g salt • 5 g instant yeast • 240g water (start with 215g first and add more as necessary when mixing) • 1 tsp honey • 2 tsp oil • 2 tsp of dried italian herb mix and 2 tsp parmesan cheese powder for flavours hope it helps!
