Hi Sune - a small criticism of the vid from a huge fan. For Dutch oven baking, most people, especially beginners, won't have the costly Challenger breadpan but a regular cast iron pot with tall sides and a shallow lid. You can't shoot a loaf off a peel into such a pot. You need to lower the loaf into the pre-heated pot, so you have to turn it out onto a silicone bread-sling or a piece of suitably cut baking paper, then pick it up by the sling or paper and lower it in. To avoid moving the very hot pot out of the oven and in again, best just open the oven and slide out the shelf holding the pot far enough to take off the lid and lower the loaf in, then put the lid back and close the oven. Thanks for teaching me most of my sourdough baking chops!
@Foodgeek Жыл бұрын
My first pot was a Lodge Combo Cooker. The only right choice for a beginning baker in my opinion. Lowering dough into a doughing hot pot is super dangerous and bound to fail at some point. But fair point. This is what you get from making stuff all by your lonesome 😊
@christianhviid2167 Жыл бұрын
Imo taking the pot out is far easier than putting the dough inside while its in the oven. Just 2 oven mitts and you take it out, take the lid off and put it in. Score, put back into the oven and done
@jamesepace Жыл бұрын
I bake on the lid of my Dutch oven (that is, the whole Dutch oven is upside down) so I don’t have to get the loaf into the deep part. I think a peel would work into that, but I don’t have a peel so I’m not sure.
@Foodgeek Жыл бұрын

@jvallas Жыл бұрын
@@jamesepaceI think that's the same idea as the Lodge Combo Cooker Sune mentioned. It has a frying pan type shape and a pot shape, and they fit together like a Dutch oven. But you use the flat frying pan as the bottom, the big pot as the top (like your lid). With this, you can use a peel if you're so inclined, & there's a lot less chance for injury. I have one (among other things). Works well. For fun, I've even put the dough on a pre-heated pizza/bread stone, then a large Pyrex clear bowl as the top. Not recommending it - some Pyrex is oven safe, some is not. But it's great for getting a time-lapse photo of the baking bread 😃.
@luckyloncar89493 ай бұрын
Like most here, I do not have a Challenger nor Lodge Combi-Cooker. But I just use parchment paper (version 1.0 recipe style). I place each loaf on a sheet of parchment and lower it into the Le Crueset Dutch oven. Then it is really easy to lift out by holding the corners of the parchment paper.

Another observation I took away from your videos on making sourdough..... It does not have to be a complicated process. I've Incorporated so many of your techniques into my sourdough process that it has become straightforward and fairly simple to create a nice sourdough loaf. The stretch and folds in the bowl were an epiffany to me. It really reduced the overall effort. Of note, one thing I have done after putting the dough ball into the basket is to place a moistened a paper towel over the bottom of the dough ball and then put it in the refrigerator. It helps keep the dough ball tight and prevents a thick skin from forming on the area's exposed to the refrigerator air. Thanks again

The biggest benefit of the moistened paper towel is keeping the dough ball tight, thereby maintaining the surface tension. When I remove the paper towel before baking, I will missed it with a water spray bottle so it comes off easily.

Hi Sune, awesome video. I've made many loafs following your recipe. I have two questions: 1) Do you clean/wash your linnen couche? If so, how? 2) So, covering in a plastic bag before placing in the fridge does not do much (as done in previous master recipe)? Or what was the purpose?
@Foodgeek9 ай бұрын
1) I wash them when they get gunky. I put them in the washing machine at 30C/86F (kinda like the proofer), and I let them airdry 2) The point is that you don't need to use time or resources for covering when it makes no difference in the final bread. I will say that because the dough dries out it makes it easier to get the dough into the oven.

I think this happens when the flaps of the sling are sort of left hanging over the outside of the DO. Should I pop the flaps into the DO and let the lid settle in as it would without the sling ? 2. When one speaks of over or under proofing what exactly are we talking about? Is it the time the dough is in bulk-ferment or when it is proofing in the refrigerator or both combined?

It just looks like the same method to me. I have found out that what ever you do you still end up with a good loaf in the end. I think it is in the baking where it's more likely to go wrong. My first loaf turned out under baked. I thought it sounded hollow but it wasn't enough. I now have a system 😊 I can bake 4 loaves at once using baking 2 baking stones and the open steam method. This is for 2 reasons, first i don't always want to bake so i always have some in the freezer, second it's more economical. Through experimenting I have found that I get a great loaf with lots of oven spring by baking at 190 C for 20 minutes plus about 25 minutes depending on size. Along with preheating, the oven is on for over an hour so with the high energy costs it makes sense 😊

While waiting for Sune's response, my 2¢ is that nearly every recipe I see for sourdough says for flavor and texture and gluten, fridge is best.

@Foodgeek Жыл бұрын
It can. The reason I don't include it in the recipe is that it complicates things substantially. By the time you've baked the first loaf, the second one might be over proofed. When you keep it in the fridge, you remove that variable. You can bake 1, 8, or 20 loaves and they're all perfect :) The fridge is on anyway, so how much is saved? I know that having to cool the doughs would probably raise power consumption a bit, but I guess it depends on how many kilograms of dough and at what temperature they start :)

Hello Sune. I've been baking sourdough for some time with great results. I initiated a new starter and I'm getting something weird happening. It's been cold in this area lately and I'm not sure if that's what the issue is but I have not experienced it before. I am getting a white powdery substance on top of the starter. And I'm starting to think it's mold. I had to go out of town and put my starter in the refrigerator and came back to the powdery substance on top again. Is this something I should not be concerned about or is it mold which obviously I do not want in my sourdough?

That flour will work fine for bread. You may need to adjust hydration a bit. I use King Arthur all-purpose flour, which has 11.7% protein content, and my favorite hydration level to use when NOT adding whole grain, is around 67% hydration. My bread turns out amazing!

It will depend on the specific flour, but I don't see why not. I did an experiment about if you could make good sourdough bread with all-purpose flour, and you absolutely can: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bLuAl7GGx9GcgZs.html

Hi Sune great video. It is basically the same way I make my sourdough bread. Two question : Do you really need to preheat the oven and do you need to bake so long? I start with cold oven and bake for 35 minutes at 210C with air circulation on, using a shallow Pyrex glass plate and adding 200ml of water to the bottom of my oven for steam. The results are quite good. Does preheating makes a big difference?
@Foodgeek Жыл бұрын
You can actually put the bread in the cold oven and dutch oven and add about 20 minutes to your baking time (so about 45 minutes for the first bread).

I had a question. How do you go about making your hydration targets for sourdough bread? Like if I wanted to do 300g flour with 20% inoculation but 80% hydration, are you calculating the hydration percentage to include the flour and water in the starter? If so, is there a faster method you use than doing a bunch of algebra or linear algebra?
@Babjengi Жыл бұрын
I guess also if we use baker's percentage on the salt, your recipe has 2% based on the weight of the non-starter flour only. If I was making a dough using only commercial yeast, that would make sense since the flour we use to calculate is the same as the flour in total, but maybe the reason you like 3% is because it's normally not accounting for the flour in the starter?

Hey Sune, been using your recipie for about a year and my loaves are yummier than my local bakeries! Quick question: I've always followed your 2 loaf instruction, but considering it takes me about 4 days to consume my first loaf, my second loaf always suffers. If I bake both on one day, it is stale when I'm ready for it. If I keep it in the fridge and bake it 4 days later, it won't rise and have as open a crumb as the first loaf during the bake. I'm wondering if you have any suggestions? Is the freezer ever a good option?

If I don't eat my loaves on the same day, I slice and freeze it. Thaw slices in the toaster 😊

Sune, do you notice any increase in dough volume after the cold retard or does the shaped dough pretty much retain its shape and size?
@Foodgeek Жыл бұрын
Very minimal growth. As the dough is cooling down it will still rise. That's the reason it's 25% when proofing warm, and 100% when proofing cold :)

Took me a while, having read this question and the reply over and over, to understand the purpose of the 25/50/100% rise depending on the bulk fermentation temp. Now I get it! So there is still some rising that occurs after shaping when the loaf goes into the banneton (and then the fridge) and its temp is dropping in the fridge? Interesting. This recipe is truly masterful. It has replaced the NYT Sourdough guide I've relied on in the past. So impressive! Thank you for all of these tedious experiments and the sharing of your brilliant results, Sune! I haven't purchased a loaf of bread in months and I have so much fun making this incredible bread!

Great, but, adding a seed oil spray? 😐
@SuperDavidEF Жыл бұрын
You would have to be VERY sensitive to "seed oil spray" for this to be a problem. He only uses maybe as much as 5 grams for a double batch of dough, and most of that will stay in the container. Even if he got as high as one gram per loaf, you would only get a fraction of that per slice. If you're that sensitive to seed oils, you have bigger problems than can be addressed here. However, the good news is that you don't have to use seed oil spray. There are sprays that use olive oil, for instance, or you can manually oil the bowl with whatever oil, butter, or grease that you have on hand. And actually, you don't have to use any oil at all. I spritz a little water in the bowl that I bulk ferment in. Since the gluten in the dough is already well developed by bulk fermentation time, it doesn't really stick to the bowl. Bottom line is that you have options, and for most of us, seed oil spray is a good option. If it isn't a good one for you, then do whatever works in your kitchen.

To help release the dough easily from the bulking container. It's probably a fraction of a gram, and I doubt a lot of it makes it into the dough. Nobody says you have to follow my suggestions, I'm just a guy on the Internet :)

Hi Sune, I consider myself a disciple of your sourdough bread methods and lessons. But I have to say, the advertisement content of your recipes has gotten completely out of hand! I looked up your "Master Recipe, Ver. 2" today. I wanted to print a fresh copy (It's my "go-to" recipe.) I counted no less that 12 advertisements by the time I got to the legitimate PRINT button. Come on, man! WAY TOO MUCH!
