Oh WOW! I made this yesterday and it is the first real success I have had with sourdough. It tuned out just like yours. Thank you for a great easy recipe.

I made this and we loved it! Thanks for always giving such great tutorials!

[Countrycharm]

Wonderful! Thank you! I'm new to sourdough. In fact, over the past few weeks, I have grown my first starter named Rose.🌹 My husband loves French bread, so this may be our first recipe! 😋 I'm happy that I finally understood all the steps! 😆

This recipe looks easy and yummy! Let’s see how lucky I get with this one. So far I haven’t been lucky with sourdough recipes. Well…..I’m new in this area 😂 Thank you for sharing Grant ❤

Are all stretch and folds 12 times in each or just the first one.
I love your recipes.

Grant thank you for all of your videos/classes on making sourdough breads. I love and appreciate your quick detailed information. You focus on the recipe and don't go on and on about other things that have nothing to do with the recipe.❤
My family and friends all say I'm now a professional sourdough baker.😊 I have been using your recipes for about 4 years.
I was wondering if I could freeze the dough? Maybe when you seperate the dough in two put it into the freezer, wrapped in seranwrap, and when you are ready to use it let it thaw and rest until it has doubled in size and then continue the remaining steps?
Please let me know if this would work or if you have a different method.
Thank you for ALL you excellent detailed videos!

So yummy, I've made it a few times already. The dough I made today was really sticky. I don't know what happened. I ended up baking it in a loaf pan and it came out really good. 😊
I baked it at the same temperature for 40 to 45 minutes. I placed a foil tent over the loaf for the first 20 minutes of baking and then I took it off and added a pie pan with hot water to add steam.

Just a little practical trick: add the oil first, then use the same vessel for the honey. The honey will slide right out. You're welcome.😁

Just made it really good thank you I'm a fan

Fun video! Would also recommend maybe covering w/ damp rag for fermentation stage.

[doraharrison]

thank you for printed recipe and video...bread looks delicious, will have to try it I live on the coast of Ms. and this will be better and cheaper than buying it !!!!

Is it possible to move the ready made dough to the refrigerator for next day baking?

[ValleyMermaid]

How do you make it MORE sour? I love Walmart's Bakery sourdough loaf bread. I am trying to find a similar recipe. I want a soft crust and sour. Do you have any suggestions?

[monicablevens]

Can I put the dough in the fridge after bf and shaping and bring out next day for the final proof and bake?
Thank you for your recipe and in advance for replying to my question

[LaksintyaHaneswari]

Kak maaf, kalau pakai sweet stiff starter, takarannya sama seperti kalau pakai starter biasa ? Di 100-150 ?

[lusineroy]

If I wanted to do a cold fermentation, at what point would I do that ?

[JohnNY]

Could I substitute buttermilk for milk?
