I’ve been making sourdough loaves for a couple of years, with varying rates of success, but have just tried your method out for the first time and the result was in another league - rise, crumb and crust all vastly better. Your videos are a joy to watch, too. Thank you!
Fantastic! I'm pleased you gave it a try my friend and it turned out well. My latest pie video recipe. Here is the ingredients list and full written method on the channels website, Mince pies profoodhomemade.com/minced-ground-beef-pies/
I bake sourdough every week and decided to try your recipe. Very simple and easy to understand. The dough seemed a little wet during the machine kneading so I sprinkled a little more flour in and kneaded about 25 minutes. (I live in Florida, so the atmosphere is quite different) after the 3 hour proofing the dough was still a little sticky but I was able to shape and stitch without any problems. When I took it out of the proofing basket to bake, it was perfect!! And the baked loaf was absolutely beautiful!! (I wish I could post a picture!) Since I use my bread for sandwiches, this less open crumb is perfect for sandwiches!! Thank you for this wonderful recipe!!
Pleased you liked the recipe David, but you shouldn't need to change the recipe, check out my 3 rules below, especially 2 and 3. 1. Stick to the recipe rigidly, the quantities and ingredients are very important and carefully worked out for successful results. 2. Use digital SCALES for all of the measurements including weighing the WATER, IN GRAMS, NOT FLUID OUNCES, don't convert to cups or measuring jugs, they are too inaccurate. try to use bottled water if possible. Tap water contains chlorine, and in certain areas it is higher than others, which will weaken or even kill the yeast. 3. Use proper bread flour with at least 12% protein, check the ingredients list on the side of the flour bag for the protein level, protein may show in grams per serving but just work it out, it needs to be 12g of protein per 100g of flour. Plain or all purpose flour has a lower protein count and is great for pastries, cakes, and biscuits, but is NOT strong enough for making bread. Thanks for watching my friend.

Thank you for the response. When I make bread I am very exacting. I use a digital scale in grams and always use bottled spring water. I measure all ingredients prior to making the recipe. I could have made a mistake and measured something wrong.
Thank you Chef. Appreciate all the little tips from how-to-roll-fold-and-tuck to reminding us that time is a guideline and actually looking at the dough is what really counts.

Hello John, first of all I want to say that my husband and I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and experience. I am new to sourdough. Today I baked my 5th loaf. It is the first time I have used your recipe and it turned out so well, by far the best! This will be my go-to recipe from now on! Next, I'm going to try my hand with your sourdough dinner rolls. Thank you again for all your wonderful videos!!😊
I smiled seeing your well organized empty fridge shelf as you put in your 2 bannetons to proof the dough overnight. My fridge is so crowded that it's always a scramble to find space for one loaf let alone two. It looks like a lovely recipe.

@@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade I do have a few question John, I follow your instructions exactly but I always end up with enough sourdough mixing for 2 loaves. I do one at a time but I put both in the fridge for the next day. They always turn out amazing and one time I even left one an extra day in the fridge because I was running out the door so I didn’t have time to bake both. It was perfect the following day which made me happy. Now my question is, can I use the sourdough starter mix for one loaf as the instructions say and perhaps use the rest to do one with a flour mix? Like for example a little bit of wheat or Rye? I love the all white flour one but I would love to make a different one since I’m making 2 at the same time. I did already watch your other sourdough video where you use wheat flour but on that recipe you make it the same day and unfortunately doesn’t work with my schedule. I prefer the make today bake tomorrow method. I hope I don’t sound complicated 😝
I've never cared for sourdough bread... but I think this is a recipe I would enjoy, and it looks gorgeous. I love how you never omit steps that beginners might not know to do. This makes it so easy to follow without making novice mistakes. Now I'm wondering how to adapt it to baking in a dutch oven over hot coals. I have a bread droid to do the hard work of kneading. :)

Hiya John, just an update on my first ever sourdough baking! I mentioned that I had to add another 4 heaped dessert spoons of flour to my mix as it was like cake batter! anyway I went through the process of getting into the oven! It had risen quite well , so I turned it over on to my home made table tennis bat, to dust of the excess flour, and all looked pretty good,but after a few seconds it started to collapse so I quickly got into the pre heated large bowl and placed it straight into the hot oven but it continued to collapse slowly and almost looked like a thick pizza base, lol. I had to cook for an extra 15 mins and then turned it over for another 10 mins to cook the bottom! It had a lovely crispy crust, was still a little doughy inside with a light grey sort of colour, but when it cooled my wife and I had a couple of slices each with lashings of butter and it wasn’t too bad! Room for improvement comes to mind! So I’m thinking what went wrong ? Should I have stirred the sourdough starter before using it? All my weights and rises were perfect! I’ve now ordered some Alison’s very strong flour 14 protein, and will try again this weekend! So any ideas John would be very helpful to a better Loaf this Sunday! Kind regards David.👍👍
Yes its best to stir up the sour dough starter. It sound like the dough overproofed and collapsed due to the air expanding too much and ruining the structure of the dough.

As ever john, you are the master of bread. I have a problem with digesting supermarket bread but no problem with this sourdough recipe. A BIG THANKS!!!
Looks beautiful. I got some artisan Sourdough bread from the local bakery a few weeks ago and it really was the best bread I ever tasted. It was Sourdough mixed with some white potato and rosemary... couldn't stop eating it. Gonna have to learn to make this myself. Thanks.
Made this again. Started this last night, bake off this morning. To hot to cut right now but it smells amazing. Thanks for a great & easy recipe. It’s a keeper.
I followed your instruction carefully but using 1/3 rye 2/3 white flour. Came out perfect and very tasty. Fermentation took about 5 hours though. I think I'll continue using this method over the traditional stretch & fold method. Thanks for your video!

We don't buy bread in our house. My husband is addicted to your sandwich loaf and makes it constantly, just over once a week. Unfortunately I can only eat sourdough due to intolerances. Yesterday my hubby sent me a link to your sourdough crumpets recipe so we will be trying that. I'm afraid I obtained my starter from another source and have been making their loaf for about 4 years, but now I really want to give this a try. I did try the soft dinner rolls made with sourdough, which were very light and fluffy, but did come out quite sour and nobody else would eat them!

I love the sound of lots of loaves cooling after they've been taken out of the oven. I was bowled over (no pun intended) the first time I heard it. The popping and crackling sounds were amazing.and the smell of fresh bread. There's nothing else quite like it. We had to make our own sourdough starter, but it always seemed a chore and took days. . So, now that I know you have it for sale, I will surely buy it to use. Thank you for showing so many lovely videos John.
Thanks for this video it's so clear & easy to follow. I have been wanting to try sourdough but many of the other recipes I've seen are all too complicated. Such a great channel 👏

Thanks so much for the recipe and video instructions. I have had a few sourdough failures, but I tried again this time with your beginner recipe. Started it yesterday and baked it this morning. Success! Lovely rise, crispy crust and great taste. So then I thought why not try the regular high hydration recipe you also have. It was so easy with just the folding and no kneading, I couldn’t resist. Such a soft dough though, and I had planned to bake it in a cloche instead of Dutch oven. It spread a bit when I put it on the cloche so I was thinking I might not have a well shaped loaf…..John, it came out amazing. Too hot to taste right now but wow it looks fantastic. Nice rise. You really are the best with your combo of recipes and clear instructions! Thanks so much again! Oh, and you know since my mum was from Great Britain, I love seeing some of the foods she made for us here in Canada, but left no recipes for! Thanks again! 🇨🇦
From Toronto Ontario Canada and l love your website it's awesome. Made the beef stew and dumplings it was excellent. I figured it would last me and my wife a week. Lasted two days absolutely awesome. I'm just starting my sour dough bread adventure , as l only have all purpose flour I added 4 grams of wheat gluten per 100 grams of flour and it's much easier to work with thanks. I am having a beer but enjoy your tea thanks again have a great day

That is beautiful bread. The term "sour" comes from the technique of using already fermented flour to start your batch. Your stater is the sourdough in your sourdough bread. It's the same from sourmash whiskey. You are using the ferment from a previous batch.
Glad to help Marco. Thanks for watching my friend. Here is the ingredients list and full written method on the channel's website, Easy Sourdough Loaf (for Beginners) profoodhomemade.com/easy-sourdough-loaf/
John thanks for the reply, I absolutely love following your channel, and have to admit that while I make a passable sour dough (that is still enjoyable to eat) I need a lot more experience in the dough handling. I get by however the sticking of the dough to the table surface seems to be an experience/folding/handling issue, since the dough looks the same but the final shaping is still less than perfect as compared to yours and the rise not as 'solid'. Been at it for two years now, still happy to continue trying though, and to make many many more loaves however there are only so many I can eat!!
Thank you very much David. Here is the ingredients list and full written method on the channels website, Easy Sourdough Loaf (for Beginners) profoodhomemade.com/easy-sourdough-loaf/
Hello John, I would like to thank you for your easy to follow step by step recipes. I have made a few of your bread and roll recipes and they always turn out great. Just a note to everyone reading this, my store was out of my usual flour so I bought another brand. After seeing this video I looked at my “bread flour”label and turns out it is 3g of protein per 30g serving. That’s only 10% protein. I guess I should read the labels before I buy now. Oh, and great voice! Very calming indeed.

Just baked off the bread this morning and it turned out quite nicely. As some other commenters have reported, the dough was stickier than it appeared in your video. I didn't add any extra flour to compensate but just went with it. ;)
That’s because of the flour properties. Flour with a high protein content is less sticky and an absolute pleasure to work with! I have recently used flour with 13.5 protein percentage and it was a revelation! On my regular flour with 12 percent protein I use a maximum of 60 percent hydration.
Another great recipe John. Your Sourdough Starter is fantastic. Mine is out of the fridge warming up a bit to be fed. Thanks for the shout out, pleased to help.

Hello John. I love all your videos. You are clear & precise. My favorite bread is an open crumb with a crispy outside. I have made ciabatta rolls, loaves, and baguettes. I question myself after every loaf prepared because of the time consumed with Ciabatta. So, I found this recipe and thought I had "The one." I really want a larger hole crumb, though. The outside of this recipe is ideal. What recipe name should I search for on your channel to find the closest to my desired bread? Sour dough, or any other artisan type of bread, would be appreciated. Thank you.

Looks wonderful. I made sour dough from scratch once. For me, living alone it was too expensive to keep the starter alive as I was wasting more than I could eat or even give away. That said, had I learned how to do this when my family was still young and living at home it would have saved money. Do you have any recipes (other than the bread), that use the part of the starter that you have to remove each week when you feed it? One thing I observed while tending my starter weekly was that my starter was much more vigorous when I used a whole wheat flour as compared to a regular white bread flour. It also had a better "sour" flavor. You're definitely correct, it is the best tasting bread you'll ever eat. Your video makes me want to have another go at it. I do miss a good sour dough.
@@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade Thank you John. Those look delicious. I've never tasted sour dough pancakes. Definitely want to try you recipe. Thanks again☺
I have made 3 of your other Crusty Sourdoughs - turned out great and tasty but challengingly wet dough. I need a recipe that does not need a fridge overnight as fridge space is limited while camping. Can I leave this one for 5-6 hours like the other more hydrated dough and then bake in dutch oven - as with other recipe. ps I used some stout beer for half the water - and had a lovely malt flavour. The crispy buns were also a winner. Thanks for great recipes.

Good day John, I have I have made quite a few of your yeast bread recipes which have had great results. Yesterday I made your sourdough recipe which turned out amazing. I was so pleased with myself as I have made quite a few sourdough recipes but always have failed as they look great on the outside, but very dense and gummy on the inside and was Rose to give up with my sourdough and throw it in the bin. But I came across your recipe and thought I would give yours, a try. It was very easy to follow and was very happy that I could mix with my electric mixer as I have osteo arthritis in both hands and find it very hard to mix the dough by hands. I would like to make a few more this week for my family, but I would like to add some extra flavour like sun-dried tomatoes, Rosemary, or olives. Would you please be able to advise me at what stage of the mixing am I able to add the additional flavours to the dough. I have also shared quite a few of your recipes with my friends as they find your recipes very easy to follow and we all have said you make a amazing teacher. Looking forward to hearing from you & thank you once again for making it so easy and simple to follow recipes. 🙏🏻🇦🇺
Here's a massive compliment : I suffer from insomnia and I always listen to your videos to fall asleep as your voice is really calm, it really helps! (I just have to re-watch your video in the morning to remember the recipe haha!) thank you!

I bake sourdough every week and decided to try your recipe. Very simple and easy to understand. The dough seemed a little wet during the machine kneading so I sprinkled a little more flour in and kneaded about 25 minutes. (I live in Florida, so the atmosphere is quite different) after the 3 hour proofing the dough was still a little sticky but I was able to shape and stitch without any problems. When I took it out of the proofing basket to bake, it was perfect!! And the baked loaf was absolutely beautiful!! (I wish I could post a picture!) Since I use my bread for sandwiches, this less open crumb is perfect for sandwiches!! Thank you for this wonderful recipe!!
Pleased you liked the recipe David, but you shouldn't need to change the recipe, check out my 3 rules below, especially 2 and 3.
1. Stick to the recipe rigidly, the quantities and ingredients are very important and carefully worked out for successful results.
2. Use digital SCALES for all of the measurements including weighing the WATER, IN GRAMS, NOT FLUID OUNCES, don't convert to cups or measuring jugs, they are too inaccurate. try to use bottled water if possible. Tap water contains chlorine, and in certain areas it is higher than others, which will weaken or even kill the yeast.
3. Use proper bread flour with at least 12% protein, check the ingredients list on the side of the flour bag for the protein level, protein may show in grams per serving but just work it out, it needs to be 12g of protein per 100g of flour. Plain or all purpose flour has a lower protein count and is great for pastries, cakes, and biscuits, but is NOT strong enough for making bread.

Thank you for the response. When I make bread I am very exacting. I use a digital scale in grams and always use bottled spring water. I measure all ingredients prior to making the recipe. I could have made a mistake and measured something wrong.
Thank you Chef. Appreciate all the little tips from how-to-roll-fold-and-tuck to reminding us that time is a guideline and actually looking at the dough is what really counts.

Hello John, first of all I want to say that my husband and I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and experience. I am new to sourdough. Today I baked my 5th loaf. It is the first time I have used your recipe and it turned out so well, by far the best! This will be my go-to recipe from now on! Next, I'm going to try my hand with your sourdough dinner rolls. Thank you again for all your wonderful videos!!😊
Fantastic! I'm pleased you gave them a try my friend and they turned out well.
I smiled seeing your well organized empty fridge shelf as you put in your 2 bannetons to proof the dough overnight. My fridge is so crowded that it's always a scramble to find space for one loaf let alone two. It looks like a lovely recipe.
Thanks for watching my friend. Here is the ingredients list and full written method on the channel's website, Easy Sourdough Loaf (for Beginners) profoodhomemade.com/easy-sourdough-loaf/
I’ve made this recipe at least 10 times if not more. It comes out perfect every time. Thank you 🙏🏼
Fantastic! I'm pleased you gave them a try my friend and they turned out well.
@@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade I do have a few question John, I follow your instructions exactly but I always end up with enough sourdough mixing for 2 loaves. I do one at a time but I put both in the fridge for the next day. They always turn out amazing and one time I even left one an extra day in the fridge because I was running out the door so I didn’t have time to bake both. It was perfect the following day which made me happy. Now my question is, can I use the sourdough starter mix for one loaf as the instructions say and perhaps use the rest to do one with a flour mix? Like for example a little bit of wheat or Rye? I love the all white flour one but I would love to make a different one since I’m making 2 at the same time. I did already watch your other sourdough video where you use wheat flour but on that recipe you make it the same day and unfortunately doesn’t work with my schedule. I prefer the make today bake tomorrow method. I hope I don’t sound complicated 😝
I've never cared for sourdough bread... but I think this is a recipe I would enjoy, and it looks gorgeous. I love how you never omit steps that beginners might not know to do. This makes it so easy to follow without making novice mistakes.
Now I'm wondering how to adapt it to baking in a dutch oven over hot coals. I have a bread droid to do the hard work of kneading. :)

Hiya John, just an update on my first ever sourdough baking! I mentioned that I had to add another 4 heaped dessert spoons of flour to my mix as it was like cake batter! anyway I went through the process of getting into the oven! It had risen quite well , so I turned it over on to my home made table tennis bat, to dust of the excess flour, and all looked pretty good,but after a few seconds it started to collapse so I quickly got into the pre heated large bowl and placed it straight into the hot oven but it continued to collapse slowly and almost looked like a thick pizza base, lol. I had to cook for an extra 15 mins and then turned it over for another 10 mins to cook the bottom! It had a lovely crispy crust, was still a little doughy inside with a light grey sort of colour, but when it cooled my wife and I had a couple of slices each with lashings of butter and it wasn’t too bad! Room for improvement comes to mind! So I’m thinking what went wrong ? Should I have stirred the sourdough starter before using it?
All my weights and rises were perfect! I’ve now ordered some Alison’s very strong flour 14 protein, and will try again this weekend! So any ideas John would be very helpful to a better Loaf this Sunday! Kind regards David.👍👍
Yes its best to stir up the sour dough starter. It sound like the dough overproofed and collapsed due to the air expanding too much and ruining the structure of the dough.
Thanks for that John, I’ll try hopefully this coming weekend and see how it goes! 👍👍
Hello John I've started with the sourdough wish I've many times tried, must try again now
Thank you so much for your recipe.
Hope you enjoy

As ever john, you are the master of bread. I have a problem with digesting supermarket bread but no problem with this sourdough recipe. A BIG THANKS!!!
Fantastic! I'm pleased you gave it a try my friend and it turned out well.
Looks beautiful. I got some artisan Sourdough bread from the local bakery a few weeks ago and it really was the best bread I ever tasted. It was Sourdough mixed with some white potato and rosemary... couldn't stop eating it. Gonna have to learn to make this myself. Thanks.
Sounds great!
Made this again. Started this last night, bake off this morning. To hot to cut right now but it smells amazing. Thanks for a great & easy recipe. It’s a keeper.
Fantastic! I'm pleased you gave it a try my friend and it turned out well.
I followed your instruction carefully but using 1/3 rye 2/3 white flour. Came out
perfect and very tasty. Fermentation took about 5 hours though. I think I'll
continue using this method over the traditional stretch & fold method. Thanks
for your video!

We don't buy bread in our house. My husband is addicted to your sandwich loaf and makes it constantly, just over once a week. Unfortunately I can only eat sourdough due to intolerances. Yesterday my hubby sent me a link to your sourdough crumpets recipe so we will be trying that. I'm afraid I obtained my starter from another source and have been making their loaf for about 4 years, but now I really want to give this a try. I did try the soft dinner rolls made with sourdough, which were very light and fluffy, but did come out quite sour and nobody else would eat them!
Fantastic Jacqueline! I'm pleased you gave them a try my friend and they turned out well.

I love the sound of lots of loaves cooling after they've been taken out of the oven. I was bowled over (no pun intended) the first time I heard it. The popping and crackling sounds were amazing.and the smell of fresh bread. There's nothing else quite like it. We had to make our own sourdough starter, but it always seemed a chore and took days. . So, now that I know you have it for sale, I will surely buy it to use. Thank you for showing so many lovely videos John.

Thanks so much for the recipe and video instructions. I have had a few sourdough failures, but I tried again this time with your beginner recipe. Started it yesterday and baked it this morning. Success! Lovely rise, crispy crust and great taste. So then I thought why not try the regular high hydration recipe you also have. It was so easy with just the folding and no kneading, I couldn’t resist. Such a soft dough though, and I had planned to bake it in a cloche instead of Dutch oven. It spread a bit when I put it on the cloche so I was thinking I might not have a well shaped loaf…..John, it came out amazing. Too hot to taste right now but wow it looks fantastic. Nice rise. You really are the best with your combo of recipes and clear instructions! Thanks so much again! Oh, and you know since my mum was from Great Britain, I love seeing some of the foods she made for us here in Canada, but left no recipes for! Thanks again! 🇨🇦

From Toronto Ontario Canada and l love your website it's awesome. Made the beef stew and dumplings it was excellent. I figured it would last me and my wife a week. Lasted two days absolutely awesome. I'm just starting my sour dough bread adventure , as l only have all purpose flour I added 4 grams of wheat gluten per 100 grams of flour and it's much easier to work with thanks.

That is beautiful bread. The term "sour" comes from the technique of using already fermented flour to start your batch. Your stater is the sourdough in your sourdough bread. It's the same from sourmash whiskey. You are using the ferment from a previous batch.
Thanks for the info!

John thanks for the reply, I absolutely love following your channel, and have to admit that while I make a passable sour dough (that is still enjoyable to eat) I need a lot more experience in the dough handling. I get by however the sticking of the dough to the table surface seems to be an experience/folding/handling issue, since the dough looks the same but the final shaping is still less than perfect as compared to yours and the rise not as 'solid'. Been at it for two years now, still happy to continue trying though, and to make many many more loaves however there are only so many I can eat!!
You make a very good job of explaining how to make your recipes, very enjoyable to watch, thank you. Good luck from Spain!!

Hello John, I would like to thank you for your easy to follow step by step recipes. I have made a few of your bread and roll recipes and they always turn out great. Just a note to everyone reading this, my store was out of my usual flour so I bought another brand. After seeing this video I looked at my “bread flour”label and turns out it is 3g of protein per 30g serving. That’s only 10% protein. I guess I should read the labels before I buy now.
Oh, and great voice! Very calming indeed.

Hi Sherri. here's a link to a previous Sourdough pancake video. ruclips.net/video/Z8HyRaBpqIY/видео.html
Just baked off the bread this morning and it turned out quite nicely. As some other commenters have reported, the dough was stickier than it appeared in your video. I didn't add any extra flour to compensate but just went with it. ;)
Fantastic! I'm pleased you gave it a try my friend and it turned out well.
That’s because of the flour properties. Flour with a high protein content is less sticky and an absolute pleasure to work with!
I have recently used flour with 13.5 protein percentage and it was a revelation!
On my regular flour with 12 percent protein I use a maximum of 60 percent hydration.

Okay John, I have been too intimidated to make sourdough, but since every other bread recipe of yours that I have tried has worked, I guess this will be my next one to have a go at!

Thank you, and thanks for watching my friend. Here is my latest video recipe. Air Fryer Crusty Loaf profoodhomemade.com/air-fryer-crusty-loaf/
Hello John. I love all your videos. You are clear & precise. My favorite bread is an open crumb with a crispy outside. I have made ciabatta rolls, loaves, and baguettes. I question myself after every loaf prepared because of the time consumed with Ciabatta.
So, I found this recipe and thought I had "The one." I really want a larger hole crumb, though. The outside of this recipe is ideal.
What recipe name should I search for on your channel to find the closest to my desired bread? Sour dough, or any other artisan type of bread, would be appreciated. Thank you.
Give this recipe a try my friend. profoodhomemade.com/sourdough-crusty-loaf/
@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade Thanks, John! I will try this recipe and let you know. Looks exactly like what I desire.
Going to be making mine soon John! And I can’t wait to taste this bread 👍

Got here as Fast As I could.
can't imagine how good this'd be if I had the Kitchen space for it x-x
Looks wonderful. I made sour dough from scratch once. For me, living alone it was too expensive to keep the starter alive as I was wasting more than I could eat or even give away. That said, had I learned how to do this when my family was still young and living at home it would have saved money.
Do you have any recipes (other than the bread), that use the part of the starter that you have to remove each week when you feed it?
One thing I observed while tending my starter weekly was that my starter was much more vigorous when I used a whole wheat flour as compared to a regular white bread flour. It also had a better "sour" flavor. You're definitely correct, it is the best tasting bread you'll ever eat. Your video makes me want to have another go at it. I do miss a good sour dough.
Yes here is a couple of recipes you could try. Pancakes & Crumpets ruclips.net/video/Z8HyRaBpqIY/видео.html ruclips.net/video/XVYvH_kwjCk/видео.html
@@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade Thank you John. Those look delicious. I've never tasted sour dough pancakes. Definitely want to try you recipe. Thanks again☺
I have made 3 of your other Crusty Sourdoughs - turned out great and tasty but challengingly wet dough. I need a recipe that does not need a fridge overnight as fridge space is limited while camping. Can I leave this one for 5-6 hours like the other more hydrated dough and then bake in dutch oven - as with other recipe. ps I used some stout beer for half the water - and had a lovely malt flavour. The crispy buns were also a winner. Thanks for great recipes.
Sounds delicious. Yes I would imagine that it would be fine. the reason for the fridge is to let it proof slowly. Thanks for watching my friend. Here is my latest bread video recipe. Loaf! super quick, From flour! to sandwich in less than 2 hours.

I’ve got to make this, though sometimes sourdough has a bitey taste to it.
I’ve done long fermentation bread and it has a mild sourdough taste to it which I enjoy.

That really looks fantastic. I actually prefer a low hydration sour dough. I usually make it for sandwiches and I'd rather it have some body to it. Still, any sour dough bread, warm from the oven and spread with some butter is a thing of beauty.
Absolutely. Thanks for watching my friend. Here is the ingredients list and full written method on the channels website, Easy Sourdough Loaf (for Beginners) profoodhomemade.com/easy-sourdough-loaf/
Good Morning John, This is GrahamDavid Hobbs from Malaysia and a very Big Fan of Sourdough Bread Baking
I shall definelty try out your Sourdough recipe from this video.
I am sure it will work for me here as My average Kitchen temp is 29+ C and humidity is always around 60%.
i will get back to you and let you know how it turns out
Fantastic Graham! I'm pleased you gave it a try my friend and I hope it turned out well. Here is the ingredients list and full written method on the channels website, Easy Sourdough Loaf (for Beginners) profoodhomemade.com/easy-sourdough-loaf/
Hi John, Linda in the Northern Territory Australia. Not doing so well with the sourdough but I’ll keep trying. Temperature here during the day is 33 c. I have just received my new stand mixer so am going to get your bread recipe book out and make a white loaf. Then I’ll try the sourdough again! Love your recipes and videos. Tomorrow nights dinner will be your cheese and onion pie! Hubby loves your corn beef recipes! Thank you so much!
Dear John, thank you for another very useful recipe. Question for you : If I don’t have bottled or filtered water, can I use recently boiled water from the kettle simply waiting for the temperature to drop to around 40 degrees ? Thank you again for the perfect and detailed way of relaying your recipes to us.
Yes you can Anthony, you can also pour out some tap water and leave to rest for a few hours, The chlorine gas will evaporate from the water. Thanks for watching my friend.

Hi John, another great video!
I've found myself missing a lot of your videos and I'm ashamed as your recipes are really good.
I've rung the little bell and hope RUclips works with me.
I'll be sure to binge watch all I've missed
Take care and stay well,

The best sour dough I ever had was made into sour dough pop-overs. Hollow muffins of sour dough bread that when broken apart hold gobs of melted butter or sour cream. 6 to a basket and me and my friend polished off four baskets of them together on top of the meal. no neeed for dessert they were so tastey.

Good day John, I have I have made quite a few of your yeast bread recipes which have had great results. Yesterday I made your sourdough recipe which turned out amazing. I was so pleased with myself as I have made quite a few sourdough recipes but always have failed as they look great on the outside, but very dense and gummy on the inside and was Rose to give up with my sourdough and throw it in the bin. But I came across your recipe and thought I would give yours, a try. It was very easy to follow and was very happy that I could mix with my electric mixer as I have osteo arthritis in both hands and find it very hard to mix the dough by hands. I would like to make a few more this week for my family, but I would like to add some extra flavour like sun-dried tomatoes, Rosemary, or olives. Would you please be able to advise me at what stage of the mixing am I able to add the additional flavours to the dough. I have also shared quite a few of your recipes with my friends as they find your recipes very easy to follow and we all have said you make a amazing teacher.
Looking forward to hearing from you & thank you once again for making it so easy and simple to follow recipes. 🙏🏻🇦🇺
Thanks Miriam, my suggestion would be to mix it all in at the beginning before the first knead.
