No Knead Beginner Sourdough Bread
Video Overview & Insights
*P.S. There is a sample Bread schedule at the bottom of this description as well as links to my favorite items on Amazon* I've gotten tons of questions from you guys asking for a guide on my bread. This is a more simplified and less complicated (believe it or not) version. With that said, I know this is still something that seems pretty time consuming, but you have to remember that the majority of the time is completely inactive, so it's really not. It just requires a little patience. You know what though? That's what bread is all about. Bread is such a meditational process to me. You're not worrying about your job, you're not stressing about finances, you're just completely focused on one thing. The bread. Hope you guys at least give it the chance to try it!
Can I just close the zip part of the Ziploc bags or do I need to use a rubber band?

I did everything to a T (twice) and cant get my dough to look or feel like the preshaped balls. Just turns into a puddle. And when I bake it its still just a flat solid disk. Wasted so much time for nothing. No idea what I did wrong.

This is the most depressing video about motherhood I have ever seen. Having a baby is an amazing gift and it is a privilege and honor to be able to nurture and grow new life by God’s grace.

I always come back to this video when I’ve taken a break from looking after my starter or making sourdough bread. It reassures me that I’m doing the right thing. Each starter I’ve had has a name, this one is going to be Rocky. I’ll leave it to you to work out where that name comes from… (not the boxing film!). Thanks Josh 🍞🥖🥐🥨

My bread keeps coming out like a brick, I told my Dad I ferment for 15 hours in the fridge and he said I was crazy for thinking that would work. This time, I put it in the oven with the light on over night then put them in the fridge for the rest of the time. One turned into a brick, this next one looks fine. I did fold this last one a bit. I will use parchment paper on the next one.
Levain:
45g mature starter
When i transfer it to hot combo cooker it looses all its shape any tips?
45g unbleached all purpose flour
45 g stone ground whole wheat flour
I love making sourdough just looking to enhance what I have made, I’m on my 4th bread looking for it to rise more more and I really hate the way dough feels in the hand 😢😩
90g filtered water at room temperature
Dough:
This is my favorite recipes I’ve probably contributed about 1000 views because of how good it is
273g unbleached bread flour
500g unbleached all purpose flour
damn i did the starter then i realized i need like at least 5 hours a day to make this bread 😮💨, maybe this is for chefs or stay at home parents. time to toss the starter and just go to the store again for bread
175g stone ground whole wheat
660g filtered water @ 90-95 degrees F
I'll go out on a limb and guess: you could do half of what's shown here and will get exactly the same result. I don't think Joshua could even tell you, why you have to do half of this recipe
180g mature levain (just use all of your levain splinter that you made seperately)
18g fine sea salt
Just curious. Why all the hand work vs a dough hook on a stand mixer?
Sample Schedule (just to give you an idea:)
9am Start Levain
2:25 P.M. Begin Autolyse
3:00 P.M. Mix your dough, optionally use rhubaud method. Thank you to Trevor Jay Wilson who taught me that.
Very concise video. I only wish I didn't have to listen to the same 4 second music loop over and over for 13 minutes.
3:15 Bulk fermentation begins, peforming 2 folds spaced 15 minutes apart, and then one last fold spaced by 30 minuters after the 2nd fold. Totaling at 3 folds. Allow dough to rest for remainder of bulk fermentation.
7:00P.M. Preshape your loaves.
All the mixture stuck to the bowl, good thing it's mixed to the exact gram
7:25 P.M. Shape your loaves and place them in their proofing baskets. Place them in plastic bags to prevent drying out, and proof them overnight in the fridge for 14-15 hours.
(the next day)9:00 A.M. Preheat oven with your dutch ovens in their from cold, to get them super hot, for one hour.
Its my first time 😊
10:00 A.M. Optionally score, and bake your loaves.
Cool them on wire racks.
What should I do if I don't have a cast iron or a proper pot for baking?

Hey Joshua. Thank you so much for your video. I'm trying sourdough for the first time. I don't have bannoten baskets yet but am planning on buying. The link in your description seems to lead to a basket that is currently unavailable. Is there another link you could add to your description to a different basket that is available? Thanks again. you are awesome!!
@saradewhurst8865Approximately how much is the added starter in here?
@mariaaniciaventanilla7683Am I able to do this without the cold proof
@randys3421Damn so you need 2 full days 😭
@karinarodriguez3519The ending was straight up exotica!!😂
@dylanmcgough9202Hey, followed this as closely as I could and when i came to preshape, the dough was so wet I couldn't do anything with it, as soon as I touched anything it stuck and then tore. It looked nothing like his and I don't know what i did wrong! Any suggestions?
@llamallama6woww amazingggg, I 'll try it as soon as I buy an oven for me :d, "Is it possible to bake this sourdough using a basic, inexpensive oven?
@LyDoThi-x6lQuestion, can I use this recipe for a sandwich bread instead of a boule? Amazing video by the way thank you!
@alirezayousefi3054New baker here.
What is the volume of the Dutch oven you use???
You call this a beginner bread! I have been making breads with a recipe a 100 times easier than this!
@dr.o.6150I miss "keep it light dont worry about it" Josh.
@TheTrueThomayoCan you please do a cheddar jalapeño sourdough 😢
@Superman-uh3clIf some one baker every weekend. Can I leave the starter in the fridge and bring it out a day before feed it and use it?
@snmgotogetherthe5384I wondering, is there a difference in the breads, other than the technique, with this beginner recipe and your advanced recipe?
@susandelhaise4355Was it sour tho?
@logdizzaYou're BAD ASS Joshua!!!!
@hohoroto42Hiii I’m not sure if anyone can help me. I’d like to make this bread but I only have a small 4qt Dutch oven. I was planning on cutting the recipe in half to make small loaves but does anyone have any idea how much I should decrease baking time? Half it as well or how can I physically know when it’s ready?
@lupitajimenez4665If you do feed twice a day, do you discard twice a day?
@pamelanguyen9660This has become my go-to recipe as I always get good results. That said, I'm curious as to how this is a 'beginner' recipe. Besdes being a lower hydration, what other elements differ from a more advanced approach?
@manundertheseaRookie sourdough baker here! I’ve tried it three times, but each time the dough is sooooo watery that it flops like lotion. When I preshape, it stretches out so much that it’s almost flat. What am I doing wrong here😢😢
@cassidykim85This is not a super beginner sourdough recipe. If this is your first time, ensure you have a very robust starter and have a fermentation station if you are to follow this recipe. I tried his sourdough starter recipe to make my starter which did turn out to be active but she was not active enough to bulk ferment my dough for this recipe.
My first attempt at this recipe was unsucessful as I did not want to go out to buy a fermentation station so I used the oven with a light on instead.
ALTERNATIVE: I found a very easy recipe that uses a starter right from the fridge. It honestly only required 10 min of work but did cold ferment for 24 hours on my counter using 2 visual methods (plastic bag or small vial) to ensure it had doubled in size before forming and rise before baking. Ben Starr gives an hour long video to describe the process in great detail. 10 min of that video shows you a step by step on the super easy beginner sourdough recipe that yields a decent loaf. However, he does bold that his recipe does not involve folding the dough a bunch of times because his goal is a decent loaf with no big aesthetic grandeur holes in it.
Ok
This is the best Sour dough I have ever seen! Thank you for the lesson!! 😊 Just can’t get my starter going, on my third attempt 😭🤣
Hey guys, I need your help, my dough came out too thick. How I can fix it? Thank you.
😊
Thank you! I made your starter and have doubled and put in the fridge.
Finally have time to bake my first sourdough. My question, when I take it out of the fridge, do I need to feed again? feeding ration?
Or ok to use the starter right away?
