After 9 hours in the kitchen making various things with my sourdough starter and discard I finally realized I was working harder not smarter and ordered a stand mixer online to be delivered this week. Life is about to get way more fun just as garden season pulls my attention outside. Thank you! 😊
This will help a lot of people! You helped me not take baking bread so "seriously", and gave me the confidence to experiment, and trust the process. So many recipes say "kneed for 5-10 minutes"... and before I would follow that advice, until I realized I just needed to treat each dough individually and trust my feel of the dough. They turn out beautiful and tasty, and there's no stress :)
In my oven it took 39 minutes on the 4th shelf down and I used a half sheet pan on the very bottom rack as a deflector pan. My Dad taught me to do that if I don’t want the bottom of baked goods to brown too much and it works well. I would suggest using a thermometer like I did to see when it gets to 190 degrees and then writing that down as everyone’s oven cooks differently.
Same!! Man that brioche dough is beautiful!! I have made sandwich buns with that recipe and garlic parmesan knots too. So versatile but so delicious and easy to make!!
I made this bread Sunday and we both love it! I had just bought some hard white wheat flour - to see if we'd like it - and that's all I had in the house, so I used it. I am so impressed with how fluffy, moist and soft this bread is.
I have learned to make a one loaf version of no-knead sourdough sandwich bread. Which after the initial mixing, and one brief lift and pull 1 hour later, requires no other work but an 8 hour, overnight, fermentation (rise) in a covered glass bowl. Then, I butter a loaf pan, and literally, pour/scrape my dough into the pan and cover for a half an hour or so until it rises to the top of the pan. Then, I flip a second loaf pan, upside down, and place it on top of the loaf pan with the dough in it, and then clamp that second pan in place with large paper clips. By doing this I have created 'a poor man's dutch oven'. Then I bake the loaf in a pre-heated oven at 450 degrees Fahrenheit, for 1 hour. I then remove from the oven and pan, and cool the loaf on a cooling rack for two hours. I use: 3 cups of bread flour, 1 cup of sprouted rye or organic rye flour, 20 ounces (or less) of water, 2 tbsp. of olive oil, 2 tbsp. of honey, 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt and 1 cup of bubbly sourdough starter to make my dough which I mix in my Cuisinart Stand Mixer. This recipe, makes a loaf which is consistently well risen, structurally sound, with great crumb and is absolutely delicious. A loaf which does not ever require that I touch the dough. When I do, my aforementioned lift and pull, one hour after the initial mixing of the dough, I use a Danish dough whisk. Worth a try.
My mom had a from scratch bakery. She had made their families bread since she was 10. She always said you can't make bread with the same recipe every time because everything is different the kitchen temp the flour hydration gluten content.. So you are completely right it is an art. A delicious art! Thanks for sharing i want to bake some bread because of you.
I’ve had starter in my fridge for 1-1/2 months a little intimidated and no time to fool with it. I’ve been waiting 2 yrs to make sourdough, will tomorrow is the day it goes into the oven I’m so excited . The starter was given to me and is over 60 yrs old. My kitchen smells heavenly, your a no nonsense cook and I love that I know now I don’t have to be perfect at it I just have to try😊
I had a learning experience. My sourdough sandwich bread went all soupy after too long of a rise overnight in a warm oven for 11 hr. I need to just let it be at room temperature ... but anyway I remembered you fried your flop in one of your videos. Thanks for sharing that because I didn't have to stress when it happened to me. And I made them into pancakes. Here's basically what I did... Rescue Sourdough Pancakes 1 batch of soupy sourdough bread (Would have made 2 loaves) Just threw these in so these are estimates. 1 or more cups milk 1/4 cup sugar or 1/8 c. honey 1 to 2 tsp Vanilla Extract 1 tablespoon baking powder 2 eggs 1 tablespoon cinnamon ground Mix well into the center of batter with a spoon and then mix all together and add more milk to thin if necessary. Pour/plop onto a greased hot 350°F griddle, using the ladle to tease the batter into a circle. Cook until top is bubbly and mostly dry looking around edges, flip and cook until center will raise again after being pressed into. (If made with all white flour it will be only slightly tan on cooked sides. Serve like regular pancakes and freeze extra for later. Turned out delicious! 😊
I made this recipe this week. My daughter asked for "square bread " LOVED IT ! Gave one loaf to my daughters teacher. I definetly had to hold myself back from eating too much.
Thank you for showing us the over ferment and explaining how much kneading is needed! It's so appreciated, it helps me to not get discouraged if it goes wrong.
I've watched so many of your videos and have tried other people's recipes for bread making and sourdough starter in general and I always come back to your methods. They just work so much better for me and I love your take on not taking it so "seriously" because that's been my motto for just about everything else in life. All this to say, thank you, Lisa for making breadmaking fun and not seem like a chore.
Yes! You are the only reason I attempted sourdough! I'd been wanting to for so long but everyone made it seem so difficult. I love your laid back approach to it! It helped me so much!!🤗
I’m so glad you make videos like this! Including the “mistakes” that really aren’t mistakes at all, because like you said it is always is full of sustenance! Bread making can be so confusing but if you stay with it you find that it doesn’t have to be that tricky. I’ve definitely learned the hard way over the years that you can achieve beautiful loaves without anything except for your hands and the ingredients! No scales, measuring cups or even a Dutch oven is required!
Lisa, I LOVE how you simplify things. I dont think I would have started making sourdough if I hadnt found your blog. My grandchildren just love love love the english muffins I make with your simplified recipe. Keep 'em coming!!
I made this recipe for the first time this past weekend and it turned out amazing!! I have been baking sourdough for about 4.5 years now, but this was my first time making “sandwich style” bread. It was even easier than the usual loaf I make. The whole family loved it and I am definitely going to be making this on a regular basis. I even put it in the fridge for a few hours because I was out of the house when it needed to bake and it was still perfect.
Yeah I make my dough at night and leave it out on the counter for about an hour and then stick it the fridge overnight and in the morning it’s ready to shape and rise in the loaf pan and this takes time depending on the temp outside too so be patient mine took 6 hours but then turned out into a beautiful loaf of baked bread 😊
Your honesty about sourdough and seeing what you do with the discard over a week made me feel confident and now I've been baking with your recipes the past 2 months! My family loves it all.
I’m mixing/kneading my dough RIGHT NOW! I’m so excited about this. The loaves I’ve baked so far have called for only starter, salt, flour, and water. And it’s DELICIOUS. However, my husband wants a more “store bought bread” texture for his sandwiches I pick for his lunch everyday. I’m VERY hopeful this is *THE RECIPE* I cut the recipe in half and used bread flour. I had to add an extra cup of bread flour…bringing it to 5 cups. The dough is coming together nicely. I’m so excited!!
You are AWESOME!!! I took what you explained and halved my two loaf batch (we are empty nesters this week) and because of your fantastic explanations and examples I was able to figure out how to keep the 2nd rise slow enough to go overnight as I started late in the day (covered it with aluminum foil in the fridge - worried it would dry out - it didn’t) then took it out to rise for a few hours during the morning. It came out perfectly! Love your videos! Best to you and the family! Anne
Love your MO. I took the sourdough plunge a month ago, and I'm loving it so far. I've learned a lot from your videos already. I have time to research, so I've kinda watched everyone. I definitely enjoy your videos. I don't know if you realize, with user statistics, but I suspect you've got millions of people using your recipes. I've been cooking and baking in general for 30 years, so while new to sourdough, I have an idea of what's what in the kitchen. I also do computers. Professionally. So, browsing the internet, the way I do, I've encountered many, many people using your recipes! Good job keep up the great work. (We're talking unassociated forums, I'm not kidding. Millions of people use your recipes from what I've seen).
I love the way you explain and show how to make sourdough! I’ve watched sooooo many videos on the process of making the starter and bread and was just overwhelmed. This I can do!
Your honesty is inspiring and to salvage the over ferment is great advice ! My starter is ready and your style of bread making fits me to a tea ! Building my bravery to set about making sourdough........ Thank You 😊
I love this extra time you took to explain the dough to us. I watch your videos all the time and so often I see your doughs and think "ugh, my doughs never look like that! Whhhhyyyyy?" And this was perfect. Thank you!
I have half a dozen bread-baking cookbooks that I have read and re-read but you have shown me that it isn't that complicated to get really good sourdough bread. I was totally blown away by your simple pizza crust! It is fabulous! Thank you for what you do and share. You keep it real and that's something I really value.
You do a good job of elucidating the various things that can be done with this dough to keep the food choices both healthy and interesting for a family.
Because of your channel, I started my first bread starter. I've been making homemade bread for a couple years now, but I'm excited to try using sourdough as my "yeast". Thanks for all your videos!
Hi Lisa, I made the whole wheat sourdough sandwich bread this morning and just took it out of the oven. Looks good but my oven must run hot. The temp was 205 and believe bread when done should be 190. Guess I better do less time on next loaf. 😳 Can’t wait to try it.
Yes! You are just the one for me to learn from! I’ve been super intimidated to make sourdough bread. I’ve kept a starter fed for almost a year but haven’t made bread (just pancakes, banana bread, etc.). You’ve shown me that I can do this! Thank you! I love your channel.
This is so helpful…the appeal to your content is you make things so very approachable and as a mom of many, I greatly appreciate that. Thank you Lisa for your efforts
Lisa, you are so right! You were so encouraging in me beginning my sourdough journey and I did about a year ago. You made it so accessible and for me, very type A person who always needed rules to follow. After consistently watching your videos, I felt sourdough was so doable and flexible! You were right, just the person I needed! Watching how you use your starter in a week, how we should feed to attain the texture rather than needing to weigh, and being able to be flexible, find out timing, and work into our schedule. Thank you for your wisdom and encouragement in this all!!
I made your sourdough sandwich bread this morning, it came out perfect!! We love it, I shared your video with a friend who's trying sourdough for the first time, you explain the process so much easier then most people, thank you!
Thank you for being realistic and showing what to do in any situation! It's much more helpful than just an idealistic 'everything goes right' sourdough recipe.
Thanks to you I bake sourdough daily for my family of 5 and it has become such a joy. This is my family’s favorite sandwich bread for lunches etc, and then we usually have a loaf or two of the artisan in the fridge ready to pop in the oven for supper. I basically alternate which dough I make every day or two so I always have dough in the fridge ready to bake. This dough makes wonderful rolls as well (delicious with some honey butter).
I'm so glad you showed us the over proofed dough! I have been struggling with my sourdough lately and now it all makes sense why! I've been letting it go too long and my kitchen has s/w facing windows so it does get pretty warm in the afternoon/evening. I mean I always still bake them and they turn out great. But after the first ferment, they are so difficult to pull together, and I end up adding a lot of extra flour just to be able to get it in the basket.
Same here! And I’m in California too! I wish I knew exactly when the ferment was finished so I don’t keep overdoing it. Most recipes I’ve been following lately say to let the dough double, but when I do that it’s overdone I think and a sloppy mess.
Good morning, 😃 I wrote last week that I’m 72 and I had started my second batch of starter. The first batch I gave up on way too early. The second I gave several days, not many bubbles. Then I read “try a different flour”. I ordered some rye and received it two days ago. My large jar was still soaking to get the rest of the crud off it. So I thought, I’ll just use my pint canning jar figuring it wouldn’t do much just overnight. Lol 😂 Imagine my surprise when I came down to start my coffee and found a very large blob of brown goop on my counter. Lol after twice trying it before with unbleached all purpose. My son who lives with me said “whatever is left in the jar is alive so just feed it today “. Thank goodness for my son. I was just going to toss it all and start over. The point of my rambling is don’t give up, success is just around the corner. Hugs and thank you very much for your great channel.
That sounds like something my 35 year old son (who lives with us) would say to me!! 😂 Congrats on getting the rye to get your starter going. I had a couple of failed attempts myself until I got the rye flour as well. Total. Game. Changer!!
Argument for using a kitchen scale: you don't have to use a bunch of different measuring cups/spoons, you can just dump everything thing in the bowl on the scale and just zero the scale between each ingredient. It's the laziest way to measure stuff 😂
Plus, if you find a combination of flours or a preferred recipe you can repeat it, for example, I like to add 120 g mashed potatoes and 200 g buttermilk to the water
Today, I started my first sourdough starter. I stumbled across your channel a week or two ago, and I have been inspired to try something new. I'm not even a big bread eater, but something about this intrigues me. I hope to make this recipe when my starter is mature. I hope it comes out good.
This video is definitely one to save, thank you so much for all the knowledge and troubleshooting shown...we learn so much from seeing all this happen and learn how to fix or what to look for..thank you soo much. No wonder many people with lots of followers say they learned from you
I made this bread today and it turned out great! I baked the loaves in long oblong pans and love how they turned out. Thanks for the recipe Lisa. Watched your segment yesterday on the School of Traditional Skills..very interesting and informative.
Thank you so much! I kept trying to make the typical sourdough bread less crusty and softer and didnt have much success, then tried a few sandwich loaf recipes -- yours is the best and easiest!
what you did with overfermented dough is a dish called langash in my country and you then put garlic water over it. it is very delicious but a bit heavy on the stomach
Thank you so much for this content! I am early in my journey of all natural, homemade nutrition and your channel is giving me great ideas and courage to dive in!
You’re amazing. Thank you for this! Exactly what I was looking for after making the big boules that are great but take all day and make ginormous slices of bread. These loaves are SO GOOD!!! And so easy!!! Thank you, thank you!
I love how honest you are, while making videos we all can learn so much watching you being so transparent. You are documenting reall life cooking and. It’s so inspiring to others. I no longer feel intimidated by making sourdough bread. Thank you.
Just made this recipe for the first time! Thank you, Lisa for sharing the recipe and thoroughly explaining the process. It's now a new favorite. Work up the courage to try the sourdough brioche next week.🤞🏻
I commented before that my sourdough discard bread turned out very dense. I made it again using measurements and it’s perfect! Our new sandwich bread. Thank you!
Finally made this tonight! I about burned up my stand mixer's motor (it got VERY hot) so I kneaded but hand for a while to let the motor cool. Eventually I had to just call it quits. The dough didn't seem to come together to a window pane test or smooth finish, but it was time to take baby to bed so it's long proofing now 🤞🏼 I hope it turns out and that the kids like it!
I just did the same thing!! I kept smelling something burning… I kept looking around and finally was like I know I didn’t turn the stove on yet.. lol……..it was my mixer.. it was hot!! I had to finish by hand as well! 😂😂
This is what concerns me. We have actually burned out the motor before. I can't afford an industrial mixer at the time so I may just have to learn how to do the stretch and fold too!
Thanks for your wonderful teaching and smile. I downloaded your e book but I don't see this recipe, please tell me where I can add it to the rest. God Bless from Louisiana.
YES!!!! I have made this bread like 3 or 4 times and it just turns out soooo dense (it has had a hard time rising during the 2nd rise). I think I need to knead it longer in the mixer. Thank you for this video, very helpful!!
You read my mind. I made this for the first time last night. Wishing there was a video along with the pictures. Visual learner. Great recipe and delicious bread!!
Just used this yesterday and today to make my first two sourdough loaves... and they came out quite well!!! I’m so excited! I can make bread for my husbands lunches now so he doesn’t have to buy it!!!
I mad e an awesome discovery. Right after you knead the dough you can immediately make a flat bread in a skillet!! The butter and salt in the dough makes a delicious and perfect flat bread!!! I made a couple, now I’m gonna wait 12 hours and make my bread. Thank you!
What is the best way to freeze the extra loaf? Thank you for your quick response to my previous questions so often bloggers aren’t good about that. You are appreciated.
You can wrap in parchment and foil if it is sealed really well, or just put in a ziplock freezer bag...either way, make sure the bread is completely cool first.
Thank you for this video… it helped me so much! You did an excellent job explaining & showing what the dough should look & feel like. I strive for simple & you nailed it!
Love the broken handle measuring scoop 😂😂. I had one of those for about 4 years and JUST finally purchased a new stainless steel set that is SOLID. Fellow mom of 7 here 😂
Got mine rising overnight. So excited, thank you in advance for all the tips here. I only recently learned about the window test and it's importance for gluten development and how the bread turns out. So few people talk/teach about this. Would you maybe emphasize it a little more on the website recipe... the importance of watching the video to actually see what it means, looks like, feels like? Lol, thanks for being humble and showing the fail and save! It's actually really encouraging!
Wow. This was the most delicious bread I have ever made!!! I started it this morning and ate it this evening. Thank you so much for making sourdough so fun and easy. Everyone else makes it so hard and tedious. So thankful for your channel and honesty.
I've been making sandwich bread for a while but never with sourdough starter. I'm REALLY new to the world of sourdough & am excited about the journey. I can't wait to make this!
Those loaves look delicious! I noticed you have lighter aluminum pans. If you get darker pans they will allow your bread to brown more evenly on the bottom. The aluminum reflects some of the heat away from the pan so the loaf won’t brown evenly and your loaf will be very light on the bottom compared to the top.
I have a sourdough starter and now i am excited to make a sandwich bread with it, thank you so much. Also, most normal size coffee cups are good as a 1 cup measure. Just test yours against your measuring cup
If you use that tablespoon for the oil before scooping the honey, the honey will slide right off. Thanks for all you great content!
Great idea.
That’s what I do too.
That's exactly how I do that with my honey and maple syrup. Works like a charm
Doesn't the spoon from oil then get into the honey jar?- John's wife
Well thank you! Spent 49 years NOT knowing this! 😂
Just like we're sitting at your bench while you teach us - so natural 🤍
After 9 hours in the kitchen making various things with my sourdough starter and discard I finally realized I was working harder not smarter and ordered a stand mixer online to be delivered this week. Life is about to get way more fun just as garden season pulls my attention outside. Thank you! 😊
Have fun with all the baking!
I'm in the same boat, I'm ordering it next month. I bake bread too often to be hand kneading
You need a bread machine as well! It saves so much time!!!
@@racheltonner2509 I was recently given a bread machine and am not impressed. The mixing part comes detached working it’s way into the loaf.
This will help a lot of people! You helped me not take baking bread so "seriously", and gave me the confidence to experiment, and trust the process. So many recipes say "kneed for 5-10 minutes"... and before I would follow that advice, until I realized I just needed to treat each dough individually and trust my feel of the dough.

Same!! Man that brioche dough is beautiful!! I have made sandwich buns with that recipe and garlic parmesan knots too. So versatile but so delicious and easy to make!!
I make this sandwich bread allllll the time!! Turns out awesome with fresh ground spelt and just 1c of all-purpose flour. Favorite recipe!
thanks for sharing that!
This recipe is amazing! Def watch your bulk fermentation time, mine only took 4 hours. Best sourdough sandwich loaf I’ve tried!

I’ve been waiting 2 yrs to make sourdough, will tomorrow is the day it goes
into the oven I’m so excited .
The starter was given to me and is over 60 yrs old.

Rescue Sourdough Pancakes
1 batch of soupy sourdough bread

1 or more cups milk
1/4 cup sugar or 1/8 c. honey
1 to 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 eggs
1 tablespoon cinnamon ground
Mix well into the center of batter with a spoon and then mix all together and add more milk to thin if necessary.
Pour/plop onto a greased hot 350°F griddle, using the ladle to tease the batter into a circle.

I used this recipe last for a fresh loaf this morning..my kids are obsessed with it and keep asking me to make more….it’s delicious

I just put my mixer in the garage so I can make this bread at 10:30 and not wake up the family 😂, so excited!

I've been cooking and baking in general for 30 years, so while new to sourdough, I have an idea of what's what in the kitchen.
I also do computers. Professionally.
So, browsing the internet, the way I do, I've encountered many, many people using your recipes!
Good job keep up the great work.
(We're talking unassociated forums, I'm not kidding. Millions of people use your recipes from what I've seen).
I love that your not using a scale and you measure in cups (not grams)!
I love the way you explain and show how to make sourdough! I’ve watched sooooo many videos on the process of making the starter and bread and was just overwhelmed. This I can do!
Glad it was helpful!
Your honesty is inspiring and to salvage the over ferment is great advice ! My starter is ready and your style of bread making fits me to a tea ! Building my bravery to set about making sourdough........ Thank You 😊

You’re awesome. I’m glad it over fermented. You made fried bread. OMGoodness, where have been all my life. Lol.
I pretty much do the same recipe in my bread machine. Turns out great everytime, super easy and my family loves it for sandwiches.
Lisa, I love that you've made sourdough simple! It's opened a whole new world for me and my family to enjoy sourdough options. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
You do a good job of elucidating the various things that can be done with this dough to keep the food choices both healthy and interesting for a family.
I am so excited to begin my sourdough journey! I cook like how you bake, and I love being relaxed about it. So thanks!!
Hope you enjoy!
Because of your channel, I started my first bread starter.
I've been making homemade bread for a couple years now, but I'm excited to try using sourdough as my "yeast".
Thanks for all your videos!
Hi Lisa, I made the whole wheat sourdough sandwich bread this morning and just took it out of the oven. Looks good but my oven must run hot. The temp was 205 and believe bread when done should be 190. Guess I better do less time on next loaf. 😳
Can’t wait to try it.
I love your cooking style, you’re the perfect teacher for someone like me!
Yes! You are just the one for me to learn from! I’ve been super intimidated to make sourdough bread. I’ve kept a starter fed for almost a year but haven’t made bread (just pancakes, banana bread, etc.). You’ve shown me that I can do this! Thank you! I love your channel.
Definitely try it!
How's it going!? Did ya make a loaf yet!!?
This is so helpful…the appeal to your content is you make things so very approachable and as a mom of many, I greatly appreciate that. Thank you Lisa for your efforts
Lisa, you are so right! You were so encouraging in me beginning my sourdough journey and I did about a year ago. You made it so accessible and for me, very type A person who always needed rules to follow. After consistently watching your videos, I felt sourdough was so doable and flexible! You were right, just the person I needed! Watching how you use your starter in a week, how we should feed to attain the texture rather than needing to weigh, and being able to be flexible, find out timing, and work into our schedule. Thank you for your wisdom and encouragement in this all!!
I made your sourdough sandwich bread this morning, it came out perfect!! We love it, I shared your video with a friend who's trying sourdough for the first time, you explain the process so much easier then most people, thank you!
Thank you for being realistic and showing what to do in any situation! It's much more helpful than just an idealistic 'everything goes right' sourdough recipe.
This was perfect. I was looking for a sourdough sandwich recipe and here it is. Was delicious,sliced beautifully. Thank you for another great recipe.
Glad you liked it!!
Thanks to you I bake sourdough daily for my family of 5 and it has become such a joy. This is my family’s favorite sandwich bread for lunches etc, and then we usually have a loaf or two of the artisan in the fridge ready to pop in the oven for supper. I basically alternate which dough I make every day or two so I always have dough in the fridge ready to bake. This dough makes wonderful rolls as well (delicious with some honey butter).
Wonderful!
I'm so glad you showed us the over proofed dough! I have been struggling with my sourdough lately and now it all makes sense why! I've been letting it go too long and my kitchen has s/w facing windows so it does get pretty warm in the afternoon/evening. I mean I always still bake them and they turn out great. But after the first ferment, they are so difficult to pull together, and I end up adding a lot of extra flour just to be able to get it in the basket.
Same here! And I’m in California too! I wish I knew exactly when the ferment was finished so I don’t keep overdoing it. Most recipes I’ve been following lately say to let the dough double, but when I do that it’s overdone I think and a sloppy mess.
Good morning, 😃 I wrote last week that I’m 72 and I had started my second batch of starter. The first batch I gave up on way too early. The second I gave several days, not many bubbles. Then I read “try a different flour”. I ordered some rye and received it two days ago. My large jar was still soaking to get the rest of the crud off it. So I thought, I’ll just use my pint canning jar figuring it wouldn’t do much just overnight. Lol 😂 Imagine my surprise when I came down to start my coffee and found a very large blob of brown goop on my counter. Lol after twice trying it before with unbleached all purpose.
My son who lives with me said “whatever is left in the jar is alive so just feed it today “. Thank goodness for my son. I was just going to toss it all and start over. The point of my rambling is don’t give up, success is just around the corner. Hugs and thank you very much for your great channel.
Thank you so much for sharing!

That sounds like something my 35 year old son (who lives with us) would say to me!! 😂
Congrats on getting the rye to get your starter going. I had a couple of failed attempts myself until I got the rye flour as well. Total. Game. Changer!!
Me too- rye really activates my starter. That’s great advice in general.
Argument for using a kitchen scale: you don't have to use a bunch of different measuring cups/spoons, you can just dump everything thing in the bowl on the scale and just zero the scale between each ingredient. It's the laziest way to measure stuff 😂
Never thought of it that way! Ty! Less dishes. You just converted me. 😂🎉
My favorite thing
Plus, if you find a combination of flours or a preferred recipe you can repeat it, for example, I like to add 120 g mashed potatoes and 200 g buttermilk to the water
Absolutely the best SD sandwich bread I’ve made! My family and friends appreciate you so much!
So glad!
Today, I started my first sourdough starter. I stumbled across your channel a week or two ago, and I have been inspired to try something new. I'm not even a big bread eater, but something about this intrigues me. I hope to make this recipe when my starter is mature. I hope it comes out good.
This video is definitely one to save, thank you so much for all the knowledge and troubleshooting shown...we learn so much from seeing all this happen and learn how to fix or what to look for..thank you soo much. No wonder many people with lots of followers say they learned from you
Your bread recipe is amazing cut recipe to make only 1loaf even my husband enjoyed thank you so much
I think in going to love this now that my starter is established.thanku!
I just used your recipe today and the bread turned out delicious! Thank you for providing great sourdough recipes.
Great to hear!
We love that you share how to make bread easily without all the complicated steps! 😍👍
Wow...I finally feel confident enough to do this. Thank you!
You can do it!
I made this bread today and it turned out great! I baked the loaves in long oblong pans and love how they turned out. Thanks for the recipe Lisa. Watched your segment yesterday on the School of Traditional Skills..very interesting and informative.
Thank you so much! I kept trying to make the typical sourdough bread less crusty and softer and didnt have much success, then tried a few sandwich loaf recipes -- yours is the best and easiest!
Wonderful!
what you did with overfermented dough is a dish called langash in my country and you then put garlic water over it. it is very delicious but a bit heavy on the stomach
Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for this content! I am early in my journey of all natural, homemade nutrition and your channel is giving me great ideas and courage to dive in!
You’re amazing. Thank you for this! Exactly what I was looking for after making the big boules that are great but take all day and make ginormous slices of bread. These loaves are SO GOOD!!! And so easy!!! Thank you, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I love how honest you are, while making videos we all can learn so much watching you being so transparent. You are documenting reall life cooking and. It’s so inspiring to others. I no longer feel intimidated by making sourdough bread. Thank you.
I'm so glad!
Just made this recipe for the first time! Thank you, Lisa for sharing the recipe and thoroughly explaining the process. It's now a new favorite. Work up the courage to try the sourdough brioche next week.🤞🏻
Hope you enjoy
I've made this bread and my family loves it! So easy to make! Tastes amazing.
Love how you repurposed the over fermented bread!
I commented before that my sourdough discard bread turned out very dense. I made it again using measurements and it’s perfect! Our new sandwich bread. Thank you!
Wonderful!
I make this recipe religiously, well for our family size it’s every 2 weeks, thanks for the recipe ❤
My pleasure 😊
Finally made this tonight! I about burned up my stand mixer's motor (it got VERY hot) so I kneaded but hand for a while to let the motor cool. Eventually I had to just call it quits. The dough didn't seem to come together to a window pane test or smooth finish, but it was time to take baby to bed so it's long proofing now 🤞🏼 I hope it turns out and that the kids like it!
This happened to me too before! Well fought!
I figured out that a bit of stretch and fold after bedtime can improve it. Even if it's off schedule.
I just did the same thing!! I kept smelling something burning… I kept looking around and finally was like I know I didn’t turn the stove on yet.. lol……..it was my mixer.. it was hot!! I had to finish by hand as well! 😂😂
😂
This is what concerns me. We have actually burned out the motor before. I can't afford an industrial mixer at the time so I may just have to learn how to do the stretch and fold too!
Thanks for your wonderful teaching and smile. I downloaded your e book but I don't see this recipe, please tell me where I can add it to the rest. God Bless from Louisiana.

@farmhouseonboone. Can I put in my Brad and Taylor proofed overnight and if so what temp? Want to make tonight.
YES!!!! I have made this bread like 3 or 4 times and it just turns out soooo dense (it has had a hard time rising during the 2nd rise). I think I need to knead it longer in the mixer. Thank you for this video, very helpful!!
I’m having the same issue it isn’t rising like hers and the bread is very dense
Haven’t tasted mine yet but it didn’t rise well on second rise.
You read my mind. I made this for the first time last night. Wishing there was a video along with the pictures. Visual learner. Great recipe and delicious bread!!
This is actually a video...just click the play button.
This is perfect timing!! I always love how practical your recipes are
Your breads always look so good! You're an excellent cook and baker!
Ok Lisa I’m doing this right now !! I’m excited and nervous!!! Thank you for a great video!!
You got this!
Just used this yesterday and today to make my first two sourdough loaves... and they came out quite well!!! I’m so excited! I can make bread for my husbands lunches now so he doesn’t have to buy it!!!
Yay!!!
Ugh i just made bread and i learned that i didn't mix it long enough!!! Thank you so much for your knowledge! I will do better next time!
I mad e an awesome discovery. Right after you knead the dough you can immediately make a flat bread in a skillet!! The butter and salt in the dough makes a delicious and perfect flat bread!!! I made a couple, now I’m gonna wait 12 hours and make my bread. Thank you!
Great tip!
What is the best way to freeze the extra loaf? Thank you for your quick response to my previous questions so often bloggers aren’t good about that. You are appreciated.
You can wrap in parchment and foil if it is sealed really well, or just put in a ziplock freezer bag...either way, make sure the bread is completely cool first.
dang, i need to buy a bread attachment for my mixer!! 🤯
i’ve used many of your recipes online and always love them!
Thank you for sharing the flub and how use used it in a viable way!
You are so welcome!
I was watching Proof bakery video on sandwich bread and he was saying to wait until you develop the gluten some before adding the butter
Thank you for this video… it helped me so much! You did an excellent job explaining & showing what the dough should look & feel like. I strive for simple & you nailed it!
Love the broken handle measuring scoop 😂😂. I had one of those for about 4 years and JUST finally purchased a new stainless steel set that is SOLID. Fellow mom of 7 here 😂
Hi thanks for all your amazing videos! How do you store the bread once cooked to make it last longer?
www.farmhouseonboone.com/how-to-store-sourdough-bread/
Got mine rising overnight. So excited, thank you in advance for all the tips here. I only recently learned about the window test and it's importance for gluten development and how the bread turns out. So few people talk/teach about this.
Would you maybe emphasize it a little more on the website recipe... the importance of watching the video to actually see what it means, looks like, feels like?
Lol, thanks for being humble and showing the fail and save! It's actually really encouraging!
This bread is mind blowing I’m amazed I will never eat store bought again! Thanks so much 😘
Love to hear that! I agree.
Thanks for sharing with us. You are a blessing
Excited to try this recipe. Started making a new starter a few days ago. Love how you salvaged the dough.
All the yes!!!!! This is what I need!!!
Wow. This was the most delicious bread I have ever made!!! I started it this morning and ate it this evening.
Thank you so much for making sourdough so fun and easy. Everyone else makes it so hard and tedious. So thankful for your channel and honesty.
I've been making sandwich bread for a while but never with sourdough starter. I'm REALLY new to the world of sourdough & am excited about the journey. I can't wait to make this!
Those loaves look delicious! I noticed you have lighter aluminum pans. If you get darker pans they will allow your bread to brown more evenly on the bottom. The aluminum reflects some of the heat away from the pan so the loaf won’t brown evenly and your loaf will be very light on the bottom compared to the top.
Thank you for sharing your bread recipe ❤🍞
of course...I have many more on my blog FarmhouseonBoone.com
@@FarmhouseonBoone Thank you so much!
I have a sourdough starter and now i am excited to make a sandwich bread with it, thank you so much. Also, most normal size coffee cups are good as a 1 cup measure. Just test yours against your measuring cup
Wow you make it look so easy
Delicious result and so easy to follow your instructions ! Thank you 😊
Hi Lisa! I am becoming addicted to your channel and your sister’s. ☺️
I am definitely making this tomorrow!
