I love bread, so much so that I could marry it. Once I have a slice I will eat the whole loaf. It makes me fat and I can’t control myself so I have to give it up. I watch these videos like a crazy woman stalking her ex on social media. I miss it so much 😭😭😭.
I've seen every single sourdough video currently on CZcams. Allll of them. This is by far the best and the only one I watch every time I want to bake a loaf. No filler, no fluff. Just direct, to the point and crystal clear. Every important detail worth mentioning is in here any detail not worth mentioning is not. Thank you for providing the best sourdough video on the web.
Thank you!
Ditto to the lady who says she has watched every sourdough video. I agree 100%. Over the too thrilled to have found Grant Bakes videos. I stopped baking sour dough bread for two years and needed a refresh. Easy peasy and very delicious. Thankyou Grant. @@GrantBakes
Totally agree. Even the starter method works so well. I thought it wouldn't and here I am seeing my starter double in size with just 25g of starter. It's unbelievable
@@peggyspeer5253 who you callin lady?? 😂
Totally agree…..TOTALLY! 👍🏼
I just made my own starter, my first two loaves were dense. I found this video and my loaves came out beautiful, fluffy and delicious. Even my friends who have been making sour dough bread for years couldn’t believe how amazing my bread looked. ❤❤❤
I'm new to making sourdough, so I'm watching a LOT of videos and bought a sourdough book at Barnes & Noble. What really surprises me is the vast difference in recipes, techniques, resting time, and baking time for a simple sourdough bread. I had assumed there was a standard method everyone uses, but that is not the case. Different types of flour, different protein percentages, different amounts of water and flour, very different resting and baking times, etc. It makes it hard to learn what is the correct way, when all the videos say their way is the correct way. I do like this video, easy to understand and follow.
This was the most coherent and simplest video I’ve seen. Covers all the basics without unnecessary waffle 😊
Sourdough waffle are delicious
Amen!
Too much jibber jabber in other videos.
@@lukestevenson7358 They use cleaner towels though.

Grant, I have attempted wild-fermented sourdough bread for years, but my two worst issues have been maintaining an active starter and timing. Especially timing. Your method is so simple and straightforward. I followed your directions exactly as you presented them… and I ended up with the most perfect artisan loaf I have ever made. Thank you!!!
I just started baking SD and haven't got it right yet! This guy looks worth a try.
Everybody learning about sourdough needs to come to your channel. Your methods are simple and loaves are delicious. Thank you!
So glad I found your account gives out recipes and measurements, not long and easy to follow instructions and gets to the point. Doesn’t add unnecessary steps and unnecessary talk about how sourdough is so therapeutic and saved their life.
Omg !!! I have been into sourdough just for 2 weeks only, tried making sourdough 5 times with different recipes and methods I learnt from youtube, the 5th one I made with your recipe and method, my sourdough is a perfection for a beginner like me. It turned out so beautiful and I couldn't ask for more. My husband had it for lunch and he loved it. I am so so happy. I purchased your No-nonsense sourdough ebook and am so excited to start the journey. Thank you so so much
Thanks for a great tutorial without all the other chit chat that others do. Clear and concise and straight to the point. Awesome. Look forward to my first loaf this week as I’m still in the process of getting dehydrated starter bread making ready. Brilliant video. ❤
Thanks for these minor adjustments. I have made many loaves in the past but your recipe and method are by far the best and I achieve a wonderful rise. Thanks.
Finally, my sourdough bread came out perfect like yours. I've followed so many videos with disappointing result but yours was the best! I thank you!😊
I finally got the perfect loaf after many recipes thanks to you. I got a great crunch on the outside and a good airy inside.
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate how well you explain things and common questions. I was trying to figure out if I should cover the dough before refrigeration and you thought to address it. THANK YOU for sharing your experience for the rest of us!
Thank you! You came to my rescue twice this week. The end result was the best results I've ever had with sourdough bread. I've made our regular bread for about 50 years but the sourdough process wasn't working for me until I watched your videos. So easy to follow and succeed with. The proof was that I made it again right away to more rave reviews at my house. Again thank yo from Barb C.
I love how to keep starter small!
Thanks for sharing all the significant details!
I want to thank you Grant. Taking your time and giving us this knowledge. It means a lot.
Wow, I like this. I have used more than a dozen different recipes, and while they are all similar, I’m gonna take these steps. And thank you for providing a quick tutorial without all the unnecessary time watching completion of every second. Great job!
Made this bread today. Turned out Great !! Best loaf I've made so far in my sourdough journey. 😊 TY
Thank you so much for this video. I haven’t been able to make the perfect loaf before this video. I followed it to a T and my results were equally as beautiful as yours! Happy New Year!
Thank you so much Grant for a wonderful recipe! My first sourdough bake was an absolute success.
The key to a good rise is the tap on the bowl after every stretch and fold 😆
This video is so clear and informative. I’m totally new to sourdough. This video makes me feel that I can do it.
Baked my first loaf with your starter guide together with this masterclass. Unlike others videos, very straight forward guide and amazing outcome!
This is a fantastic recipe. I baked my loaf this morning and it turned out just beautiful! So easy! I can actually say I love making sourdough bread now.
Thank you Grant!
You’ve made doing sourdough so much earlier and uncomplicated for me. I’ve made 4 loafs using your technique and recipe and they all come out fantastic. As well the length of the videos are perfect, in 12 minutes you explain perfectly. Thank you.
OMG I’ve been trying to bake sourdough bread for weeks, I followed so many others and they all turned as flops. Found you and I made a really nice loaf. Thank you so much 😊 you are the best🎉congratulations!
This is the best sourdough bread making video/recipe. The bread came out great. Your written recipe as well as this video is very precise and to the point. Thank you very much!
I've been watching videos trying to get this Sourdough thing right, and your video has been the most beginner friendly by far, you covered every step of the way perfectly without going off topic.
So I followed your steps exactly and now I have a beautiful Sourdough loaf that looks and tastes wonderful. Thank you so much. Bravo
👏👏👏
Hey man...I've been following this video religiously for the last month or so and have made the BEST sourdough bread that I've ever made. Thanks for this...I'll be following it for a very, very, very long time. Cheers!
I just want to say thank you so much. I have been struggling for the past 3 months. My recipe, hydration has alway been the same as yours. Always make a dense loaf with minimal oven spring. Yesterday I watched your video and used your technique of final folding and forming. I have just pulled a loaf out that has big spring and a beautiful size ear. Thank you so much. So grateful 🇦🇺
Thank you, thank you, thank you!💜💙 I have watched at least 16 other channels trying to find an easy foolproof recipe/method. Most were confusing and long and drawn out and just yapping talking heads. Yours is my top pick. Clear, easy, and filming matched what you were talking about. Your loaf was so beautiful I tried and AMAZINGLY MY LOAF CAME OUT BEAUTIFULLY too! 🩵💚I can't thank you enough!💛🧡 PS I subscribed of course and will be a dedicated fan forever! ❤🩷
Your the only worth watching here on yt when it comes to sourdough
Nah. Grant is good, but there are definitely others worth watching.
@@SuperDavidEF name some, I find that 99% talk so much useless crap making 20-30 min vids that a regular hobby baker don't wanna waste time on. Grant goes straight to the point, no bs, just step by step and not having a biography of the man who invented flour
@@bluebearh3 I understand. I've had to turn off some bread baking videos because they just talked too much. For bread baking in general, there are five that I really like. For sourdough specifically, I'd have to say one of my favorites is Foodgeek. He does have some content that isn't entirely about bread, as he does other foods occasionally. But his channel is primarily a sourdough bread channel.
……definitely and Baker Bettie
No sound?
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Just baked a beautiful loaf of sourdough with your help after 4 months of failed attempts from other recipes 😊
I followed your instructions from a previous video with great results. Followed these instructions with even better results! PICTURE PERFECT!
Thank you so much for this recipe. I made my first sourdough bread this morning. September 15th 2023. Thanks for simplifying the process.
I didn't use any special tools, it turned out good in my opinion. I wish I could post a picture.
This video is the very best I've seen anywhere, straight to the point and no flannel. Just made my first decent sourdough loaf of bread, not quite as high as yours but reasonable, maybe proofed a bit too long before putting in the fridge overnight, still got the ear though. Many thanks. Will be watching many more of your video's. Keep up the very good work.
Thanks! Until this video, my bread was just ok. Now it is the biggest most beautiful loaf ever! This is definitely your best sourdough video. The multiple 1st round stretch and folds made a world of difference and I like also the changing of the bowls and adding a little oil. I also noticed a pan under your dutch oven which has been great for not burning the bottom of my sourdough loaf. Thank you again! You are amazing!😁
I followed you recipe except the baking part because i don’t have dutch oven. It turns out a success. You are right this yield a bread with small bubbles insidd but I love it because then I have no problem of my jam dripping🙌🏻🙌🏻
This was the best sourdough I have made, came out nice and crusty and the crumb is perfect, tastes wonderful, it also lasted in a bread bag for over 5 days! Thanks so much for sharing....
Thank you for posting this update! I’ve been following your fool proof recipe for over a year now!
Great recipe. Took my first loaf out of the oven this morning. This is the first time I've been able to bake a perfect loaf of bread.
Thanks for sharing this.I tried your Sourdough Pullman loaf bread . It is fool proof perfect recipe. Comes out perfect each time tried with different flour combinations thanks
I made mine today and its fantastic! Thank you! I tried two other recipes and both didn't work then i lost interest. I came across your videos and you motivated me again. Prepared a new starter then made the bread and it turned out great on the first try!
I've tried out at least 8 variations and this method, by far produced the absolute best crumb and crust! Thank you so much for sharing your secrets with us!
O M G. I have watched so many and it always seems so complicated but yours is so easy. I am making bread with a friend this weekend. I cannot thank you enough - your bread looks amazing!
I can only agree with everyone here. Hi from Germany btw. I watched so many videos and read books about sour dough. Your video is the first one that looks less complicated and voila,it worked 🎉. Thank you!
Fantastic bake. Very creative and dialed in. What you've shown here is a hybrid of what I've seen from two other bakers. I stopped baking sourdough and it has been about a year. This video leaves me feeling inspired to pick it up again.
You covered absolutely every important detail. Great job
Thank you for this. I’ve been reading a book about making starter and sourdough that was gifted to me. It piqued my interest, but has explained so little and added a lot of extra steps. Perhaps they’re helpful, but I couldn’t tell you why. I can tell you about the author’s daily routines and family life though. Nice, but unhelpful.
I appreciate that you include all of the required information. You’re clear, concise and you explain every step and why you’re performing each step. You also did it in about 10 minutes. Brilliant.
Hi Grant! thank you for your video. I picked yours for my first loaf because it was the simplest to follow but I watched a couple others before I started. I did 5 stretch and folds and covered my bread during the bench rest but otherwise followed your steps the rest of the way. My dough was much more sticky and harder to handle than yours appeared and that is why I added a couple more stretch and folds. Glad I did because the finished product was great! Thanks for helping me make my first loaf of sourdough bread with your simple video! I am enjoying it right now with a hot bowl of fresh chicken & dumpling soup! Wish I could post a pic for you! Sugar Geek is the other channel that I loved, her video helped me to not freak out when my bread was much stickier than yours!
Love your simple explanations from beginning to end ❤
Best video and description I have seen. I tried this recipe and it works anytime.
This video made me a successful sourdough baker! So ready to understand and no fluff that took up an hour of my day hoping someone would get to the point.
I was successful in the first few phases by faithfully using my digital scale and the 3 stretch and folds. Then things got wonky. I had to refrigerate the dough for 6 hrs . I took it out of the fridge and into my pantry where it doubled in size. Time to preshape...i think...begining to lose track 😏Very sticky , appreciated tips you had on handling with dampened hands. I was tempted to add flour but resisted. Unable to proceed, back to fridge for about 48 hrs. I refused to give up.
It grew a very tough skin. I cut it with a sharp knife in a cross pattern and threw it in a 450° oven on my pizza pan with a bread pan full of boiling water.
Used a spray bottle to spray crust and I interior of oven throughout the cooking time of 40 minutes.
Dark brown very chewy peasant crust, spongy Delicious interior.
My triumph!
I’ve been making sourdough for a long time. This is the best recipe and method out there. I’ve made this 5x now. I added an additional stretch & fold and my bulk ferment added time was 4 hours. Amazing spring in my loaf, excellent crust & crumb. Thx 🙏
Lovely! Simple and what a great result ! Thank you Grant!
I just made this as my first sourdough loaf and it turned out perfect!!
I made your Good Sourdough Bread Master Class with 400 grams of bread flour and 50 grams whole wheat flour because I wanted it to be a little more nutritious. I followed the rest of the recipe and instructions in your recipe to a T. It turned out fantastic, wonderful spring, perfect crumb and scrumptious taste. Thank you for your easy follow video. You are the best!

I'm new to the world of bread making of any kind, and I just started my very first sourdough starter 24 hours ago. I'm a sucker for anything bread, but sourdough holds a special place in my stomach and heart ❤
I've been really nervous to go down this new path and bake my first loaf of bread once my starter is ready, but your video looks so incredibly easy and rewarding.
Can't wait to try it!
I love the shaping right at the end of the stretch and fold. That would be another one besides the initial and final shaping. I cannot wait to try it out.
Just started my starter 🤷🏼♀️ wish me luck , yours is the easiest tutorial i have watched thankyou.
I’ve made this bread 4 times now! Each time it came out perfect. I’ve tried so many sourdough recipes from CZcamsrs over the past few years and all of them were long jibber jabber lectures and confusing with poor results, flat, gummy bricks of dough that hurt your jaw after one slice. I got so discouraged and gave up making it for a few years…until I found your video. Step by step, easy to follow, concise, great video quality. Thank you for sharing a simple easy how to sourdough video. It is my go to recipe when I share with relatives and friends for dinners. They loved it! Next…I am going to try your soft sourdough sandwich recipe. BTW, I am “commercial bread” sober now.😂 Thanks to your easy to follow sourdough recipe videos❤
I love your no nonsense method. 👏🏼🤗 thank you!!
Made this today and it turned out exactly as described. Thank you!
Glad I found your channel. Today I successfully baked my 1st Sourdough Bread. Thank you for the great tips!
Great job! I'm so glad for your success.
Appreciate your experience, going to try your tip, leave out of fridge for hour after final shaping, makes sense, get that head start rise, thanks!
I followed this technique and my sourdough finally turned out perfect! Thanks!!
Your presentation is excellent and your voice is reassuring. I start my final shaping in 10 minutes and all has gone well so far. Thank you
You’ve got this!
After trawling through many many videos on CZcams, this was the easiest and the best. Thank you!
Just made this a few days ago and was very happy with this recipe. Thank you.
I am now on proofing time just waiting one hour then stick it in the fridge ❤ i’m a beginner and find your tutorial so easy to follow glad i found your channel
Enjoy! Thanks for the comment.
I've been turning out loaves using various methods and recipes, and this one gave me a huge belly, with an ear and geat rise. I used 400 gr bread flour and 50 whole wheat so added 2 spoonfuls of extra water to compensate for the thirsty whole wheat. Got a windowpane pass after 3 S&Fs. It was slow to rise but finally got about 75% rise and put in frig till the next day. Giant belly, great oven spring, gorgeous picture perfect ear. I don't normally use bread flour but AP King arthur. That extra protein must give it some oomph! Thank you for sharing!
Grant , thank you for great recipe ! How many times I baked - never had a problem!!!! Bravo 👏
I almost threw in the towel in regards to baking sourdough! You make it so easy to follow along! Thank you for your easy to understand instructions and video! You have a new follower for life!
This is the best sourdough video out there. I’ve watched so many videos, but my first 2 attempts at sourdough were not successful. Finally 3rd attempt I followed your video and it came out perfect! Can’t thank you enough :)
Thank you so much for this recipe! I baked a sourdough bread this morning following your recipe and it is amazing! Crust was not chewy and hard. It has this beautiful crackling sound and incredible slightly charred taste. I tried different recipes, but yours is the most simple and easiest to follow. But I have a few things that works for me:
1) spray some water on the scored dough - when I do this my crust is not chewy and hard but light and crisp
2) put a tray on the lower level of your oven so the bottom of the bread does not burn
3) i think this recipe gives me the stickiest dough compared to other recipes, given I live in a humid place. I was starting to think I did something wrong, but trust the process! 🥰
Just pulled mine out of the oven and first impressions are looking like it's my best loaf yet! It was easy to handle, easy to shape, and didn't over-proof like a lot of my other attempts (for some reason!). Great recipe my dude! Thanks
Love this review! Thanks for the comment.
I had to revivify a very old starter and by fourth feeding it was ready. This is my best result so far but not yet the great ear of yours! I'm encouraged Thanks for the inspiration!
My first loaf using your new approach was the best I have ever made and the second, coming out of oven now, looks even better! Thanks! Pre-diabetes has me eating no refined carbos, but the aroma and appearance of the loaves is wonderful and people who share the bread completely love it!! Win-Win!
This was so simplified and easy😅 subscribed! I've watch so many and just made my first loaf I over did it on the bulk ferment but it's all good here goes round two
You've inspired me to bust out my starter, named Charlie, and actually use him for sourdough artisan bread! You made this VERY easy to follow along. I'm going to keep your vid in my favorites and use it every time I make this. Until it's habit. Thank you😊
thank you - you have answered so many of my questions! Great video!
I would like to thank you for the most amazing recipe. I don't have access to fancy bread flour and cast iron bread oven, still this recipe turns amazing and very forgiving, I wish I could show you my results.
Finally a sourdough recipe that made a perfect loaf. Open crumb, gorgeous oven spring and beyond delicious. Thank you, Grant, for the wonderful recipe and very helpful tutorial!❤❤❤
You have made my new journey with sourdough so easy!!! Thank you thank you 🙏🏼

Seriously, you have provided the best instruction to making awesome bread. I can't believe how beautiful this loaf is. Looks like yours. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much 😃
I’ve been really struggling with my sourdough, loaves came out gummy and dough didn’t keep its shape. Tried your recipe and my first successful loaf came out of the oven. Made more since and it works every time. Thanks, will try more of your recipes now
It works!!! My last 6 loaves have failed, but this method worked!! 🎉
Thank you!
