I've been on the sourdough experimental path for around 2 months. 2 months of failure. It's hard to fail over and over again. I haven't even made a "good" starter! I gave up. I was actually crying, and my husband found this video, he asked me to please not give up. THANK YOU!!! This recipe works! Even with my "sub par" starter! You've gained one more subscriber!

[ericanorton]

I hope you read your comments. I spent a long time and many tears attempting to make sourdough bread. Then I found this video. I've been baking a loaf of bread every week, my husband and all my neighbors LOVE IT! THANK YOU!!! I've shared this video so many times I lost count. ❤

[idowebwork]

Yes, please do a video on the complete process of doing a starter. Would definitely love to watch that.

[conniebreck]

You totally need your own TV Show. I love watching you. It doesn't matter what you are doing I just enjoy listening to you.

John, I made this bread, step by step, using the long process and all I can say is WOW! Best bread ever! My family has now demanded next week I bake 2 loafs. One loaf just is not enough! Best sourdough bread recipe ever. Thank you!

[molliejonte]

Yes! Please do a video explaining, step by step, how you make the starter. You always explain things so well. You are a great teacher!

[kerrywsmyth]

Thank you for making this. I have learned a few things. First - there is no way I am ever making sourdough bread. But more importantly, I will forever have a new respect and appreciation for what went into making this stuff every time I buy it at the market.

Thank you John Kanell! I have never made sourdough bread before and now I've made five loaves so far using your recipe and each one turned out exactly the way you showed! I am noticing that it is important to have a starter that is "hungry" for the best sour flavor. I live in a small canyon community, we share cooked and canned items, and your bread is a huge hit. 🤩

This sourdough recipe is amazing! Used a different recipe for my first loaf and it was not up to my standards so I tried this recipe and took all the long steps & I’m blown away with how great it turned out!! Thank you for teaching this process ❤

[wendymarie]

I love sourdough bread!! I believe Sourdough makes the absolute best grilled cheese sandwiches! And homemade croutons! This looks amazing, John!!

[dlcdlc]

For me, I don't know if it gets much better than that first slice into fresh made bread. The sound, the smell... it's just happiness for the senses!
Thank you for this recipe John, I can't wait to try it!

Personally, I use apple juice to hydrate my starter instead of water. The sugar helps feed the yeast, and gives the bread a nice appley, tangy flavor that I enjoy.

I made my first sourdough earlier this week, and it was more than horrible. This video is a lifesaver! John, you're so down to earth, it's a pleasure to watch you, and learn from you!
This recipe is all you need, trust me. I feel so much better about myself now, that I just needed a good recipe to join the sourdough club 😅
Also, if you don't have a dutch oven, for me it worked to simply bake the bread in a cake form (or anything will do just use baking sheets). For the first 20 minutes I had a glass bowl of water in the oven to steam the bread, and I also had an oven sheet above the breas (just to cover the light). After 20 minutes removed those both, and got amazing results. Thank you so much John!

Oh my heavens! I have been making bread for so many years and this was the best recipe and instructions I have ever seen. I am so obsessed with making bread now. I’ve made five loaves since I found your video three days ago thank you so much

[sarahgigs]

I don’t know why I didn’t just come to your video first! I watched other videos and there were lots of failed attempts and lots of tears! I finally came to your channel and you explain it perfectly!! I do everything step-by-step and really bring it down to a beginner level. You are simply the best. ❤

[reneehughes]

I did it. Your recipe is easy to follow. I've been trying to make this bread for two weeks and failed until I followed your directions. I've been baking for 50yrs but never made sourdough before. Both loaves came out perfect. This is the first time I got far enough to put the dough in the oven and success. I didn't have this much trouble making my starter. The only thing I did different was I used my pizza stone and covered it with my turkey roaster because I don't own a Dutch oven. I misted the stone and oven with water. I got a nice crust with chewy bread. Thank you for making the video. I'm a happy old lady.

I, like so many others, started backing sourdough bread during CVD, but I still love watching people make it. Your video was perfect. I love that you told people about the option of baking same day or refrigerating the dough overnight. You covered every bit people need to know, verses having to gather bits and pieces from so many different videos. This video is a keeper - thank you,

[colonelquakers]

John, you are a master teacher! Ive been trying to make sourdough for years and I finally was successful using your recipe! thank you so much for making this available for free!

[aprilcolgan]

I just started my sourdough journey and I stumbled across your video and let me tell you. Flawless!! Tasty crispy chewy crust and such a delicious taste. You made this accessible to novices like me and your instructions are explained so well. And I remembered that trivet!! Tysm
