Warning for Australians!! Our tablespoon is 20 ml compared to 15ml tablespoon for America, UK and NZ. I tried this twice and it had an awful yeasty taste until I twigged and put way less yeast in and it finally worked 😊

This bread is delicious. I have made this recipe for years now. For a good sourdough flavor, allow the dough to sit in the fridge for at least 3 days. This brings out a delicious tang in the recipe & it cooks up perfectly. I use it for Baggetts, pizza dough, pigs in a blanket with our fresh farm brats, even individual rolls.. There are many ways to cook this. It is definitely a go to recipe....

Tried this bread this morning. Only mixed 1/4 of each ingredient. It had the texture of a sourdough loaf. Very tasty. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Be Blessed & Be Well.!!!

I finally made this 5-minute bread dough and WOW! I made it in a gallon ice cream bucket. It was puffing out of the top after an hour. I thumped the bucket on the counter to deflate it a bit so I could attach the lid, and into the fridge it went. The next afternoon I grabbed out about half of it, roughly shaped it into a loaf and baked it in a loaf pan. This was the most delicious, soft, and chewy bread I have ever made. My husband loved it. Next batch will be half whole wheat. If I can master this, I will never have to buy bread again!

This is great if you have the need for multiple loaves of break per week (and the fridge space to store the container). I do something similar about once a week, or every other week, but my recipe is about a third of this. Another difference is that I mix up my dough in the evening, let it sit on the counter, covered, overnight. Place the dutch oven in the oven and set the timer to come on about an hour before I want breakfast. I wake up, put the dough in the hot dutch oven, and by the time I finish making coffee and bacon and whatever else, I have hot bread to go with my breakfast.

Great video, my nan used to bake her own bread every week right up until she died at 93, she was a great old school cook and actually my grandad on my dad's side(her husband) was actually able to cook aswell which was quite unusual for men of his age. He was multi talented could turn his hand to ANYTHING having grown up in poverty in London as both sets of Grandparents did, early 1900s, they literally had to just survive back then and some of them didn't.. both before and after both wars.

Anyhow this reminds me of when I was a kid going around their house seeing her cutting the fresh bread.
I also saw her do something I've never seen anyone else do, she used to stand the loaf on its end, butter it and then slice the slice off the top.. I always found that funny as never seen anyone do that before or since. Guess it makes sense you have the stability of the loaf when you butter it and then just cut the slice so it doesn't tear the bread...
Anyhow cheers from London England just subscribed love the clear video and your presentation just great. 👍❤️💪😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🙏

I have made this twice...once as white just to learn the process (delicious) once as whole wheat ( amazingly delicious 😋) today I'm trying it as rye (😁 can't wait) Thanks for this recipe. It works just like you taught. I bake some rolls...put some in the fridge and have hot bread all week!!! I used the whole wheat dough as a pizza crust and had the best deep dish pizza!!! 😋 Thanks Carolyn

[GildaLee]

Great method. One note: warm water at the beginning should be 105F-110F.

[earthmamma]

We’ve been making sourdough for almost three years now… making your own bread is amazing. It tastes so much better than any store bought crap that’s made with an endless list of ingredients. My bread has flour, water, salt.

[terryivey]

I do no knead bread all the time :) This would be perfect, except for tiny fridge...no room. I use counter top, overnight method. I can see how much easier this is for families. Nothing better than fresh baked bread !

[CelticRootsFarm]

My wife thought it would be a great idea for us to switch to a Keto diet... here I am torturing myself watching your bread video. LOL

[hvp]

I made this recipe this last Sunday. I just made my second loaf from my batch made on Sunday and it's just as good as the first. I will defnitely be keeping this going on a weekly basis. It's a game changer for quick and easy bread making throughout the week.

[HomeandHearthHomestead]

This is similar to a French bouille. No kneading, simple, straight forward country style bread. Just love this approach. It's relaxing and stress free

[dennisniewiadomski]

There was a discrepancy between the amount of dough & the size of the container is all. She probably fits 7 loaves worth of dough in that container, but wanted to keep the video simple. I appreciate this woman! Peace. ; )

[brendakordik]

I made this today and it was superb! Used 4.5 cups all purpose flour and 2 cups whole wheat flour. Amazing texture and my teenage son and husband loved it slathered with butter. Thank you for such an easy recipe! Can't wait to bake a loaf for my in-laws.

[gdpope]

This is exactly like the recipe invented by Jeff Herztberg in his book “Bread in Five Minutes”. He has five excellent books based on the master recipe! Excellent bread by the way.

[carolmalignaggi]

OMG! I just made the first loaf and boy is it good. I don't know how to make bread but this recipe was soooo easy. I am so surprised at how good it tastes. I put some melted butter on top before baking. The crust is so beautifully crunchy. Thank you for teaching me how to make this bread!

[shaunjayes]

This has become my new binge watch channel.
I am amazed at how resourceful and multi-talented you are.
Your channel is full of brilliant ideas and you have such a clear and pleasant way of explaining everything.
It's brilliant.
Thank you so much for this.

[MrsLiz]

Wow, your family is so lucky to have you! I'm just at the beginning of this old school journey. Learning to can and using cast iron skillets for now! But I love learning all these wonderful skills!
