Here's how I made my sourdough starter from scratch in just 6 days: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/idegaKaC07SXaJ8.htmlsi=Att3N48ARRuOFUtQ

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 KZfaq. 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.

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.

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

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!!!

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!
