YOUR FIRST SOURDOUGH (Sourdough Bread For Complete Beginners)

Don't forget to check the description for the recipe, recommended gear list, and link to my sourdough starter vid: https://youtu.be/ZHm1aKxAsIs LMK what you think!

I have been sourdough bread baking for 5 years and never have seen anyone make the process of this kind of bread making so clear and simple. Thanks

Behold the tale of my inaugural sourdough bread adventure! With the precision of a seasoned baker, I adhered to Brian’s sacred script, dot by dot. I unleashed my inner Van Gogh on the dough, etching a masterpiece of scoring art. Lo and behold, the oven birthed a stunner: a loaf boasting a crust as golden and crisp as autumn leaves, with an interior as chewy as a well-spun yarn. A drizzle of olive oil, and voilà! Culinary bliss. My taste buds sang, my family rejoiced, and somewhere, Brian nodded in approval. Hats off to the maestro of the sourdough symphony!

For anyone who's bread is too wet: My starter is only a month old, so fairly young. When making my leaven with my young starter the leaven would come out more wet. Because my leven had a lot of moister I cut back the recipe from 310 grams of water to 290 grams of water during the mix stage. This helped a lot. Before cutting back the water my bread was not holding on to any form during the fermentation stage, it was just a wet blob of dough even after the folding and strengthening stage. Now, my bread is holding its shape. Every attempt is better than the last. Thanks Brian!

I am currently making my very first sourdough bread, and I swear iv rewinded and watched the video so many times. Thank you for going step by step. Im currently letting it proof, so ya'll cross your fingers for me.

My dad LOVES your channel and in the last few months really got into bread. I wanted to connect with him, so I asked if when he fed his starter next I could have some to get my own going. Now were over here talking about bread. Made my first sourdough watching this video and I can't wait to call my dad to show him! Thank you for giving me something to connect to with him :)

Bro what I fell asleep watching Danny Gonzalez and woke up to a sour dough bread baking tutorial.

This video (advice) changed my relationship with my starter, Joy! I totally thought she was the reason I wasn't getting enough lift in my bread (before I watched this video I made 3 flour bricks in a row), but now I realize that it's all in developing the gluten structure and my bad all along. Thanks for restoring my relationship with Joy :)

Okay, y'all. This is my third time following this video. I made two little tweaks because mine wasn't coming out like his UNTIL I used less water and used bread flour. 290 grams of water was PERFECT. Before, my dough was beyond wet and not holding its shape. I was adding flour after the 2nd folds just so it wouldn't be so sticky, and scoring was just not happening. I am sooooo happy with how it turned out 🥹

Props for including metric measurements my friend, makes life a whole lot easier out here in the wilderness. ♥

I did it, and it was absolutely amazing. Took me 24 hrs, but was worth it. Didn't have a Dutch oven, so I used a terracotta pot with a lid, it worked perfectly fine. Thanks for all the tips.

Lol at lava rocks being the more simple/accessible version… but actually this video was super helpful as a sourdough newbie, thank you!

Took me 3 tries on 3 different channels......but today I made this work! . This is going to be my go to channel now.

You're a really good baker and cook, and seem a nice guy too. Surely this channel is going to blow soon once the YouTube algorithm starts recommending you to more people from channels that have shot up in last couple of years. Keep it up man.

It took me three tries (mostly because I was attempting to bake with a starter that wasn't mature enough, I guess), but when it worked... IT WORKED 😍. This is the bread I remember from my childhood that you sadly can't just get from a store anymore 😶. Thank you for that, Bri, amazing recipe and amazing taste!

Just ate the first loaf following this recipe - it turned out perfect. I suck at baking so huge koodos to Brian for such clear instructions 🎉

This is honestly the best one I’ve seen. Because everyone else that does everything in one day without letting the levain sit always comes out terrible.

just found your channel the other day and cannot believe how few subscribers you have-- the quality of your recipes and content is superb, and i'm sure you won't have few subscribers for long. can't wait to see where this channel goes!!!

This is my new favorite cooking/baking channel. Brian, you have a great personality and a wealth of knowledge. I always look forward to your next video. Thank you! Looking forward to trying this!

Made my first ever sourdough last weekend following this tutorial, and I must say it turned out brilliant. Thank you for all your help and advice 👍🏻 looking forward to baking more following your guidance 😃
