My over does not go to 450? What do I do?

I've made your bread two (or maybe three) times, watched the video countless times, and just now saw that apparently I wasn't supposed to double the starter when i made two loaves. BUT my bread has come out beautifully anyway, and I love making this super simple bread. I love the basically hands-off process. It's a big favorite for the baker AND the consumers! 😂❤🍞

just made this for my first ever sourdough loaf. unreal how fool-proof and how absolutely delicious. I put a sheet pan underneath as you show here to prevent burning on the base as well. truly could not be happier with the outcome

I made this. So easy and good. I’ve tried several sourdough recipes which required several folds & stretches which came out really tasty. But my husband says this is the best. ❤ Thank you.

Put together last night, baked this morning in loaf pan. DELICIOUS! I put sesame seeds on top before baking.

I just tried this recipe yesterday and it worked really well! It was my first time making sourdough and it worked! I made the loaf shape and it was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside! Thank you! I made my dough 100% whole wheat following the ingredients list for your whole wheat loaf.

You are by far the most inspiring guy on the sourdough curcuit. I love your videos and so does my starter! I have been using my starter for a few years but your recipes make me use it all the time! Thanks for your very clear videos!

I made bread but it is not baking from the bottom or underground the bread. I from Israel. I glad to answer Tanks

Wau, it is delicious bread, very tasty and fluffy... Thanks for sharing your knowledge👍

Thank you, Grant. Great recipe. Will try

Made this yesterday but when I started at 7AM I soon realized my schedule was off so I plowed ahead. When the dough doubled about 5 hours later, ( it's warm where Iive), I divided and shaped the loaves then place them into my bread pans. Once they doubled, into the fridge they went. I baked them as usual this morning and they turned out perfectly. BTW, I had about a cup of whey from making yogurt cheese so that was in there too.

I'm still in the learning stage with sourdough bread; however, this recipe gave me a great loaf as well as wonderful taste. Plus, it was so easy.

Definitely going to give it a try, Thanks Grant👍🏻

Baked my first sourdough loaf ever with this recipe in the loaf pan and it was great. Thanks much.

This worked so well for me. The last *excellent* sourdough I made before using your recipe/technique was the very laborious one that Clair Saffitz did on the NYT Cooking channel. For the minimal effort of this one, I'll choose it every time! I did this with AP flour and it took a bit longer for the rise, but it worked a treat.

Another great video, many thanks. Love this! This is my kind of bread; will try it out asap.

Hi Grant ! Thanks for all this great info. What size Dutch Oven do you use and is the Dutch Oven on the lower rack or in the middle of oven?

Maximum results for minimum effort...that can't be ignored :-) Grant, I never saw you use HARD WHITE wheat flour in your recipes - actually very few people seem to use it and I don't know why. For health reasons, I try to stay close to 100% whole wheat and I understand that the bitter aftertaste is not to everyone's liking. White wheat however does not have this pronounced taste even in 100% loafs. You inspired me to experiment and I developed my own recipe containing 1/3 white flour and 2/3 hard white wheat flour and the resulting bread tastes wonderful. Maybe you would enjoy experimenting with this and I am sure all your subscribers would like the results. Thanks for continuing to share your experience.

So I have a deep covered baker that is ceramic - feels like a halfway point between a loaf pan and the Dutch oven. I didn’t preheat it at all but I was excited to use it and now I’m wondering if you’ve ever used something like that. I think I tossed my metal bread loaf pan a year ago and replaced it with a ceramic one bc my pumpkin bread would come out easier 🙈 Should edit to also say we have a Dutch oven and I have made one loaf following this video just last week after being gifted some starter. Turned out delicious!

Thank you ❤

Hi Grant - Tried out the load option. It came out perfect with little effort. Thanks!! If I want to make this with whole wheat flour would you be able to tell me what proportion of whole wheat and all purpose flour would work?

Yes, I did and it came out fantastic

I made your bread in a pan. I used 50g starter which had just risen. After bulk ferment it looked good. I just plopped it into a non stick bread pan. With wet hands gently touched it to even it out. I added sesame seeds on top. Let it sit for 11/2 hr. Not much rise. 450 oven with ice cubes for 40 mins cause it was getting pretty dark. The crust was so hard could not squeeze it!! Did not rise anymore than when I put it in the oven. My house is very cool - 18.5C. Should I have added more starter, proofed it longer or what to get more rise and softer crumb? Thanks!BTW my flour was fresh and my starter floated!

Do you have any instructions on baking bread in a Convection Oven?

Made 2 the other day..1 in loaf 1 in Dutch..both were so delicious but very dense. Didn’t mind that for the Dutch oven one but want to use the loaf for sandwich..how would I make it NOT so dense and ty!

Hi, how do we make sure that the sourdough bread stays fresh and soft for 3-4 days?

What temp should the dough proof in? The overnight rise was ok but the proofing is really slow. Current room temp about 19c

When making it in a loaf pan, can I by pass the ice cubes for steam, so my crust is softer?

That sound interesting! Im always looking for other sourdough recipes,... But no cold proofing in the fridge after bulk fermentation? You covered your dough with a towel and there where dry patches on the dough after BF. Wouldn't that show in your bread crumb? I know how important room temp and water temp (and fridge temp)plays a role in bulk fermentation. What was your water temp ? Same as room temp (70 F/21.5 Celcius)? Really would like to give it a try but kinda hesitant cause of the missing important aspects 😬

I love this bread, it's SO easy. Mine comes out very tasty and with a decent texture but the loaf version is always rather flat on top...I assume it has something to do with the fact that I am adding spelt flour to the mix. Do you have any tips for those of use who don't want all white bread?

I followed your recipe, and this morning the dough was nice and raised. The problem is that it was very very wet. It spread so much that I ended up having to pour it into a loaf pan. I'm waiting for the second rise now. I've made plenty of no knead artisan loaves and none of them were anywhere near as wet and loose. I hope it turns out. You made it look so easy.

Hi Grant, Have tried it and sort of works, taste is great! However, when I want to fold it on a piece of parchment paper after the 1st rise, the dough remains extremely sticky and keeps on sticking to the parchment paper, making the folding hard. How come in your video it's not that sticky and easy to fold? Not sure where I went wrong. Kind regards

Can it be made with “00” flour instead of bread flour?

Can i use all purpose flour?

I have tried to get your starter dough recipe from your previous KZread videos and have been unsuccessful. Can you provide a recipe for your sourdough please. Thank you.

Does the recipe require Bread Flour or will an all purpose or Whole Wheat work?

Does it have to be bread flour? What about organic unbleached all purpose flour?

All of my sourdough loaves have been fluffy (not dense) but chewy and almost wet. Custard-y is a term I could use. There are no artisan sourdough bakers in my area, so I have none to compare. Should sourdough bread be more moist than grocery store or general bakery's bread? I have always used high-protein bread flour (at least 12% protein), 65-75% hydration, and 15-20% zippy active starter (which is a combo of 80/20 AP and rye flours). I generally fermentolyze and refrigerate finished dough 12-24 hours after 3-4 sets of stretch and folds. Crumb is well distributed and balanced with different size holes. Everything sounds right, but I still question whether it should be so moist ... almost like it's under-baked, but I make sure the loaf is 208-210 F internal temp.

I would do the bread pan option if you're going to bake without a Dutch oven. Parchment paper will probably stick to the dough. Or, if you want to bake the round loaf, you could bake it on a pizza stone and throw a handful of ice cubes in the oven to add steam. Either way should work. Good luck!

Use your starter when it's still rising to the top and not quite at its peak (should be less acidic that way). And then cut the dough fermentation time shorter, maybe 8-9 hours instead of 10-12.
