  • Fermentation Friday, much belated but here! Making Sourdough bread at home is much easier than it looks once you get it down. This is not one of those recipes. Long story short, you guys asked for my advanced version, so here it is. It's all about Technique.
    We won Saveurs Best Food Video and I am just so grateful, thank you guys again!

    Made it twice! First around was too hydrated for where I live (Thailand).
    So, here is my conditions:
    - Room Temp: 29 deg Celsius
    - Humidity: 41%-50% while making the dough.
    Adjustment I did for my second time:
    - Lavein ratio is 1:7:7 (10g Starter: 70g Flour: 70g Water). Fermented for 6 hours.
    - Cut the hydration to 76% (561g of water)
    - Oven temp: 250 deg C & 210 deg C (due to being at sea-level)
    It worked beautifully!!! The dough is a bit stiff, but super easy to work with. Very happy!!! Will continue to experience with adjustments!

    My third iteration turned out PERFECT! So, I believe I overproofed my sourdough on previous iterations. So, after some further research, you can 100% salvage it and have an amazing end product! After cold proofing, if it sticks to the banneton liner and is deflated, do a stretch and fold and make it a tight boul, then let it sit at room temp covered w a dry cloth whilst the oven preheats. At least, that's what I did and it rose beautifully! The taste is absolutely AMAZING. My boyfriend loooooves it! I wish I could share my pics!

Also the description helps a lot. Thank you Josh! ️

    Okay I didn’t make it myself, but these videos prompted me to go out of my way to a little bakery and pick up the first loaf of sourdough I’ve ever owned. First I ate a small slice just plain and thought, “yeah this is pretty good, I could just snack on the bread alone really”, but then I just toasted a slice in butter with just salt and let me tell ya, that shit cured my depression. If I grow into a sourdough addict I’m blaming you Joshua.

    Today I made my best sourdough to date. Slightly different percentages of bread and whole wheat flours, and 80% hydration. This time I followed your 'slap and fold' and shaping techniques, which were extremely well demonstrated, and I think it made all the difference. Particularly helpful was the shaping; the area with which I'd had the most problems thus far. Thanks for the great video. It helped me take my sourdough to the next level.

      This recipe is high hydration, so for a beginner is harder to make. I'd suggest starting with a 66 to 70% of water and try to increase it by 2% every next time you make bread (with the same flour). This way you will know how much water you can use in that specific flour. Also, make sure your starter is mature before using it

    Hey. Thanks for all the fermentation videos. You are brilliant.
    I have used this recipe twice. When I used your link to the sourdough recipe I noticed something. In the written recipe it says 740g water, but in step 2 of the process you say add 580g of water and set 100g aside. This equals 680g. Maybe it's a typo, just to inform you.
    Both times I have used the recipe from the video instead and it worked out very well. I found it to be a liitle bit too wet so I used a total of 710g water. I added 660g originally and reserved 50g for the further stages. Might help someone else. 😁
