I stumbled across this video and gave it a try. I’m a senior citizen, and I never made bread in my life except those breads that require baking powder and baking soda. Before baking, I topped the loaf with a seasoning from Trader Joe’s called “everything but the bagel.“ I baked two loaves, and both times they came out perfect. I almost never leave comments anywhere but I was so grateful for this video that I felt I had to write.

I've been making this bread for years and have a few tips. I pour the water into the bowl first, then add the flour/yeast mix. I use a Danish dough whisk to mix it all together and it comes together in seconds. I also place a silicone pad on the bottom of the heated pot before I place the dough into it. This prevents burning on the bottom. Also, if you don't have a cast iron Dutch oven, Walmart carries some that cost around $40 and they work perfectly. I have one LeCreuset and one from Walmart. They bake the bread equally well.

I make bread like this very often. You can actually leave it in the fridge for several days before baking it. The extra time proofing in the fridge makes it more flavourful. I don’t have a dutch oven so I heat up my pizza stone, place bread on it and put an inverted turkey roaster on top to trap the steam. Works like a charm.

I have tried to make bread a few times before and this is the first time I got it right. This is a great recipe for a beginner like me.

John, let me preface with saying that my wife does the vast majority of the cooking (brilliant meals that I've enjoyed for years.) I currently have some time off work, and got a wild itch to try something new. I decided to use your recipe and instructions, terrified of ruining the bread the entire time. What came out of the oven was truly mind-blowing. I put rosemary and whole roasted garlic cloves in the dough prior to baking, and it turned out simply phenomenal. Thank you so much for igniting a new journey for me. I (and my wife) truly appreciate you. Will be following another recipe of yours very soon.

[cookiejones]

Yes, yes sourdough recipe, please John! You explain step by step so clearly I would feel brave enough to attempt it 🙂🤞

i’ve made this loaf twice now. absolutely foolproof, delicious, and fun to make! if you’re wanting to start delving into bread making, this has been the perfect start for me (plus it boosts your confidence in the kitchen). if you try it, i promise you won’t be disappointed

I LOVE this recipe. I don’t buy bread anymore 😂 I don’t have a dutch oven so I kind of use a makeshift one using 2 dark cake pans. Works pretty well 🤷🏻‍♀️ Hahaha

I had to stop and give a review.. this was the best bread recipe I’ve ever tried. Everyone in my family said it was delicious and soft. Better than anything you could buy in a store or bakery.

I like to prep the night before. I'm recovering from some health problems so doing it in parts is easier on me. I love your channel. You're so friendly and open and it makes this old lady feel like a friend is sharing a recipe with me. I like that you keep it real. We all have minor mishaps in the kitchen and the fact that you show yours makes me fell less like a dolt. I'm sure I'm not the only one. You're appreciated and I'm learning new tips and tricks from you every day. Besides, my cooking has never been better thanks to your recipes.

I have made this bread so many times that I do not count anymore. It is so good and easy to make. I have made many loaves for potlucks for seniors and they all love the bread and can't get enough. In fact, I get many requests to make them a loaf of this bread. I am right now making 7 loaves to give to the 7 individual seniors and will be making some more. This bread is so easy to make that I can make 2 to 3 loaves a day. Excellent Excellent taste!!!! Excellent This is the bread that I make most because it is so easy and so fast to make. I do make all kinds of bread, including sourdough, but this is my number one bread recipe that I use the most. My friends keep requesting a loaf--I just cannot make enough of it.

[LatteBrown]

Sour dough, yes! From the sponge (starter), feeding, and making a loaf. Give the full low down. Thank you!

[tudorconducta]

You clever clever man. This is now my go-to bread recipe. Especially when time’s short. I do it almost daily. Last thing before bedtime, I just mix it up and pop it in the fridge. The next morning I bake it before I leave for work. It is an amazing bread and the recipe is foolproof. No sourdough for me, thanks! Life’s too short and we’ve all got busy work schedules to keep up with. Sourdough is lovely, but John’s bread here was just divine. I used to bake many other bread recipes that need your attention every hour or so. This is just perfect. Quick and just scrumptious!! Btw, I scaled it up a little bit, as the family is quite big and the loaf was a little small. I do it with 550g which gives us a size better suited to our family. So I do 550g flour, 8g salt, 440 ml of water and 9g of yeast (and a couple of teaspoons of sugar to wake up the yeast). It works amazingly.

Made your bread today. Let me tell ya, that over night rise in fridge is the taste I’ve been looking for. Oh my That long rise did the trick. Wonderful recipe. I let mine in fridge a full 24 hours. I made spaghetti and meatballs and everything got done together. Lunch was great. Thank you soooo much.

[victoriasimpson]

I haven’t made bread since senior school more than 50 years ago, but I’m tempted to have a go at this recipe.🙂. Love watching you and thank you for all your wonderful videos.

Dip that bread in a bowl of olive oil with Italian seasoning or garlic salt. Delicious. I also add Italian seasoning to it during the mixing process at the beginning .

[gerganamiller]

I tried this recipe today, and I made an amazing loaf of bread. Thank you so much. It was so easy. I let it rise for about 2 hours, and it turned out wonderful.😊

[mariamusilli]

Followed this recipe, and it turned out great! I used my kitchen aid mixer with a bread hook, and it made the dough quickly and perfectly. I used an enameled dutch oven, coated the inside with a thin layer of oil, and allowed it to preheat with the oven instead of putting it in after preheating to prevent it from cracking. The bread turned out wonderful. Thank you for this recipe!

I am the great grandson of a Swiss baker. I made this bread for my grandkids. Yum! when warm. Next day lightly toasted with butter and jam. Heavenly!!
