The softest sourdough sandwich bread (regular and fresh milled flour!)
Learn how I make my amazing, soft sourdough sandwich bread with both bread flour and freshly milled wheat. It’s simple, fluffy, and delicious!
I'll be sharing monthly recipes for my 52 weeks of sourdough baking challenge! This is a motivational challenge, set to inspire us all to make as many of our own bread products and we can/ want to.
**sticky dough generally equates to soft bread. It may be stickier than you’re expecting and that’s okay! You can add a tiny bit more flour, but not too much!
*you can also sub water for the milk, it just won’t be quite so soft!
January is sandwich bread!

Nice job, love seeing the younger generation carrying on with homemaking. Next time, showing a comparison of the 2 breads and their crumb would be great. Keep up the good work.
You are adorable and I love that you aren’t trying to be perfect. Realness is so underrated. Great job!!!
This was SO helpful to have it step by step!! I'm still struggling to love my Bosch, so I appreciate all the tips about working with it!

So glad I'm not the only one who feels the need to give the boule a little slappy slap before she goes down for a nap! Going to try the sandwich loaf this weekend, thanks for the recipe!

I have a bag that fresh foods delivered some of my frozen food in. It’s a brown paper bag but it’s lined with some sort of aluminum. So that was free. I take an amphibian warmer which cost me $10 on Amazon. It’s just a little mat that you plug in that heats and it’s just big enough for my bowl of dough. I stick it inside the brown paper bag plug it in stick my bowl in there and for $10 I’ve got a perfectly functioning dough rising environment.
Thank you so much for this great video. You explained it so well and simple so people like me with no experience can understand. I love the way you made your video, it's real, with no music or effects that overstimulate, I even allowed my kids to watched it with me. Thanks so much also for your tips about the different kinds of mixers and your encouraging words to do bread and not to worry a lot if something is not going as expected. Love hearing your kids on the background. That's real life for us moms, that's normal and I appreciated it because that encourages me more.

Really liked the comparison between fresh ground and commercial. I had a problem with one of my bread pans sticking and I fixed it by putting it in a 350 degree oven empty for about ten minutes. It seemed to reactivate the nonstick coating. No problems since
I use seedlings heating matts for my bread proofing. Game changer. Only $20-30

THIS IS IT!! ❤❤❤ I’ve made a ton of sourdough sandwich loaf recipes and now I can stop experimenting! This was amazing! I did 25% fresh milled and 75%bread flour. I’m going to up it next time and do 1/3 fresh milled and see how high I can go to get the most fresh mill but also the fluffy texture. Also I did knead this in my professional kitchen aid and it did good. I did have to take breaks when my machine got warm and I think I did 2 or 3 rounds of kneading, but I think the rest time between actually helped the dough build some gluten on its own. I also had my butter super duper soft so I took a spatula and spread it out on the dough then kneaded it in.

I think it depends on which kitchen aid you have. The lowest end one I can see being an issue. Mine is the slightly larger one with the drop-down bowl. It seems to work for 30min+ kneading. Though it does get warm.

One day I want a Bosch like yours or the Ankarsrum but I have had a kitchen aid professional one for over 20 years and it has done well, mixing all my breads etc (and i bake a lot) but maybe when it does give up then I can justify one of the above. I love your instructions and how you explain everything. I want to give your recipe a try 🥰

Yes, I honestly just completely forgot to grab the others. It works just fine with one, but it’s softer with more! This recipe is very forgiving and using more or less of the egg, sugar, or butter is all pretty much fine!

I have a Bosch but I’m not a big fan of it. Some dough always gets under the middle thing and I have to stop and scrape the sides a hundred times. Maybe I’m just using it wrong. Yours looks so much better then my mixing. Have done it by hand for the last month… 😂

My enquiry is about grain mills---I noticed that you have two brands....as I am in the market to purchase one, I am wondering which brand you prefer, the Mockmill or the the Komo mill and the reason(s) why the one over the other. I appreciate your help very much---thank-you! 😊😊

I’ve been making sourdough for about 8 months, but I’ve never made anything with home-milled flour. Do you use home-milled flour for your starter? If so, what differences do you see between using that versus commercially-bought flour?

I've just developed an allergy to dairy (So sad because I LOVE whole milk! !) and I've been experimenting with soy milk in recipes. It's worked in all of my cake recipes and the bread recipes I've tried, although I KNOW they're better with whole milk, is everything! Curious if you have any thoughts as to whether yours would work with non-dairy milk.

I have one too. And mine has been just fine. The old ones definitely were made better than the newish (like last 8 years?) ones but you still run the risk of burning out the motor especially in the smaller models. They just aren’t ideal for breads 🤍
Is there a reason for putting the butter in after the kneading rather than putting the butter in before the kneading? Does butter inhibit the gluten to build?
@southworth_sourdough
6 ай бұрын
Yes the butter can make it harder to build the dough strength! It also just helps it be extra fluffy!
What do you recommend if the dough is still sticky after incorporating all the butter? I was rushing but mine stuck to the counter 🥴

Hey, I love this recipe, so I would like to make it, but for now in a vegan version. I guess, vegan butter and plant based milk is ok, but do you think flaxseed egg is usable instead of the egg or should I just leave it out completely? Or do you have other suggestion? Thanks 🥰
