Writing a recipe post is pretty time-consuming, and I do plan on doing it. But in the meantime, if you want to start making sourdough, I’ve recorded a three-part video series that teaches you how to do just that.
It’s posted on TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook, so pick your poison! TikTok videos are the best for embedding on my website so that’s what I’ll drop here.
How to make sourdough bread! This is my sourdough bread recipe after many, many months of trial and error. When I first started, I used rye and whole wheat flour in all of my loaves but ended up transitioning over completely to bread flour as my family preferred it. The loaves are less dense and have less flavor, but it’s certainly more family-friendly. The only step here that I didn’t show is feeding my starter. I did that around 8am. I have videos on my account showing how to do that, but you basically pour out most of your starter into a discard jar that you keep in the fridge. Add maybe 1/2 cup of bread flour and just enough warm water to get to a thick pancake batter consistency. Within about 4 hours, your starter should be doubled in size and ready to bake. This is Part 1 of probably 3. Let me know if you have any questions! #sourdough#sourdougbread#sourdoughbreadrecipe#sourdoughtok
How to make sourdough bread! The bulk fermentation is finished (I did the float test in Part 1 to confirm that), and I’m doing the laminating, pre-shaping, and final shaping in this video. Once these things are finished and the shaped dough is in the banneton, it goes in the fridge overnight. The dough can stay in the fridge for several days – I find I like it best between 24-48 hours. But you can go sooner or later. Sourdough is so flexible! This is Part 2 of 3 – join me for the next video where I bake off the loaves and reveal the yummy crumb. #sourdoughbread#sourdough#sourdoughrecipe#shapingsourdough#sourdoughtok
How to make sourdough – the 3rd and final video! Here’s a look at the scoring, baking, and crumb reveal. I know I joke at the end that “that’s it” but it doesn’t feel like a ton of steps or work when you’re doing it. It’s tiny little moments of time and a whole lot of waiting. And the parts where you are doing something, I find it super enjoyable and relaxing. Give this a try and let me know how it goes! #sourdough#sourdoughbread#sourdoughrecipe
