This is your sweet spot Erin. My children loved watching this and so did I. Please do more homemaking videos. You have a lovely touch with these very needed skills.

Erin, I love how when you got married everyone was making fun of you and your cooking skills, and now you’re teaching your kids how to cook 🥹it makes me so happy and gives me hope for my cooking skills 😂I love you and your family so much! Thanks for being such a great representation of Christ in your marriage and the way you parent!! 🫶🏼❤️

Love how little feet come running to eat the fresh bread ❤

That sourdough does look delicious and beautiful! Yum! Thank you again, Erin and Chad! Love you guys! God Bless!

I'm not going to lie, I will never be making my own bread but I LOVED watching this video! I love seeing great moms training up their kids and spending time with them.

Holland is such a wonderful little character and a great help too.

It’s so awesome seeing Erin baking with her little girls❤

Two is a wonderful number of children, little Holland.

Oh my!! Your little helper is darling & delightful!💞😋

Your videos are refreshing. Genuine. Real. I don't feel like you're trying to impress. I feel like I'm in your home.

What a blessing to have your family on You Tube -

I bought a sourdough starter from our local farmers market in the summer and the only thing I've made is sourdough biscuits. I keep it in the fridge and feed it once a week. Making sourdough bread is intimidating, but watching this I am bound and determined to do it today. Thank you! ❤️

Erin you have come so far in the kitchen for sure. Thank you for sharing with all of us

Thanks for sharing your sourdough recipe. Your bread looks so delicious 😋. I don’t think I would have the patience to wait to eat it but I’m sure it’s worth the wait. 🥰

I love love love your channel but these cooking videos are my favorite. Would love to see more! ❤

I just adore you and your family on you tube ..sweet Spirit

LOVE when you do recipe videos!

Great video and your little helper is just precious ❤️❤️

The bread and rolls looked so delicious I love sourdough bread and would love to use the starter ill have to read up on it more because I'm alittle confused I think I'm just making it harder than it is! Your little helper is the cutest! Im just teaching my grandchildren how to make meatballs they love helping Gramma do that! I bought them all these little Italian aprons its so cute!! God Bless Ya'll 🙏 sure do love ya'll ❤....Camille 😘❤ 💥🙏💥🌻🧡🦊🧡🌾🍁🍂🍞

This is what I wanna do with my kids some day! Thank you for sharing this!

I’ve been milling and ordering from azure for about 5 or 6 years. My oldest daughter now makes all our bread. Would love to hear more about the way you do your starter. We also use starter that we made ourselves years ago when we first started. Very good and strong rise. But would love some fresh ideas! Loved watching y’all’s show! The highlight of our week was when bringing up bates would air.

Thank you for sharing this! I’m going to try this.

She is so adorable

Home videos are always the best ❤

So sweet to see and love and lord has blessed you and your family love to see more

Good video Erin. Your little helper is adorable.😀

That looks so delicious❤

My sourdough is soooo different... just starter, water, flour & salt. Rise, fold, rise fold, etc - bake. Your version looks more like a traditional loaf with sourdough - I think it's still worth a try. 🙂

I love your Holland’s reactions!!!! She is just precious! ❤

Thank you for explaining sourdough! I have been buying it at the store, but I think I'm ready to give it a try. I had no idea that you had to feed your starter. It's like having a pet! Might as well give it a name 😉. I have the same wheat grinder and I like it.

Did a great job and thanks for explaining it

Erin, that sourdough bread looks good! Really loved your absolutely adorable little helper and enjoyed your video!

I love when you do cooking shows!

Thank you for sharing!

It looks so good makes me want to learn to make it

Thank you for sharing, you have a cute little helper.

Thank you! Love your cooking videos! This looks absolutely delicious and I am excited to try your recipe! Your children are adorable and have wonderful attitudes!

This is so helpful! Bread, especially sourdough bread, is alway so intimidating for me. Can’t wait to give this a try!! ♥️

YUMMY!! Enjoy your family so much. God bless. ❤

Thanks for sharing, looks amazing- Blessings to you & family!

Thank you so much sharing this as I needed it for so long because I have candidiasis can't have yeast in a whole list of things so I am very thankful and I can have sourdough bread. I appreciate so much you doing it healthy by using fresh whole grain wheat! I have heard other people that use Azure standard! I'm going to try them! I'm so glad that you are doing these things and being a great blessing to your family! Unfortunately it seems like the world has lost respect for being a good wife and a good mother and how important that it is. It's refreshing to see you and Chad doing this and all your family. No greater work than being a wife and a mother! So glad you're cooking with your kids because that is important to! A great time to bond while learning at the same time!

Love you and chad. Erin you are precious. I love when you cook. This bread looks amazing. I wanna learn to cook bread and you make it look so easy. Be blessed. Love the Bates family. I hope you will do lots more cooking videos. I learn from you. See you on your next video.

This was such a helpful video! I can't wait to try this recipe! Also you made me very excited to bake with my newborn daughter when she gets older.

LOVE that cookbook and learning from Mrs. Glenda on the THM pages. Sourdough is so yummy!

I’ve made this recipe 2 times now and love it! The second time I chose to add more salt and it was even better!

I love my Nutra Mill grinder too! And I love making sourdough. I'll be trying your recipe!

Thanks so much for sharing. That bread looks delicious. Your children are precious. I can’t wait to try this recipe.

I’m going to try this recipe tomorrow I love sourdough bread 🙏TY

You are precious and your children are amazing!!! I want to try making this.

These look so delicious. Bread is my weakness. Your making me hungry. Love all your videos.

Wow, sourdough takes a lot of planning! I don't know if making it is for spontaneous people like me! Although it looks and sounds delicious!! ❤️❤️❤️

Erin you are so talented and lovely! Thank you for sharing this recipe step by step! I hope I can make mine as yummy as yours. These are the exact kind of videos I would love to see more of from you! I’m a new stay at home mama who is trying to learn to cook better and healthier meals for my family. You are a great role model and teacher!

Very informative! Thank you! I'll be coming back to this over and over!

Your video is very helpful! The bread looks delicious!

I was excited to watch this video and actually ordered the starter and cookbook. I tried making my own starter a couple of years ago and failed so this will help. We love sourdough!

I was going to give up on sourdough and then this popped up on my feed. Will try it Erin! Thanks!

Nothing like the smell of homemade bread in the oven. I have always wanted to try making sourdough. Very interesting and enjoyable Video. Great tips too. Your little helper was so adorable. She looks so much like her daddy ❤️

Erin I baked bread with your recipe and we love love it.thank you

Trying this recipe today!! I've been on the hunt for a good every day sourdough that is soft and super yummy and easy! I'm hopeful this is it!

I've been making honey oat wheat bread for years, it's yummy but really dense. I used to cook w/sourdough but I kept killing it. You've showed me some techniques I didn't know (like grinding the oats) that I'm going to try. Going to start my sourdough tomorrow! Thank you so much! God bless you all. PS - love your little store, it's got really nice items.

Erin I just love this video! Please do some more sourdough recipes!

Love Glenda Groff! HeR recipes are amazing!!!

Thank you so much Erin

My mom makes an amazing sourdough bread, rolls and pepperoni rolls that doesn't use a starter. Her sourdough bread is famous in our community. She has orders for it constantly. She found this recipe that doesn't use a starter years ago and it's amazing everytime she fixes it.

Sophia and I enjoy baking!

For the range of motion challenged, you can fudge the prep by using a bread machine to put the ingredients together, letting it mix, rise, punch down and then remove and shape as desired for loaves, rolls etc for final rise. Bake in desired pans. For the economically challenged you can grind your wheat with a coffee grinder IF you take that part slow, pulsing and stopping. Otherwise you'll toast the motor. I used wheat from our certified organic farm. It's so fulfilling to make your own bread! Grinding the grain is the cherry on top. I am drooling over that fabulous grinder tho!

I killed my sourdough this summer but am looking forward to getting it going again. I recently purchased a grinder as well and I think the recipe you’re using sounds lovely. Thank you so much for this video, I’m certain many hearts have been blessed as a result.

I'll bet it's delicious

This recipe looks really good! Thanks for sharing. Think I might ask Santa for the cookbook!😂

Erin thank you for showing how to make sourdough

My husband got me this mill for Christmas and some sprouted wheat. I’m still afraid to do try anything. I’ve tried sourdough started in the past and it’s not that easy. But I love this video and when I have all my ingredients I’m going to follow this video exactly. Thank you so much for all these tips.

Looks absolutely delicious! Y'all's children are beautiful! ❤️

Hi Erin, did I read the recipe right? You add 2 1/8 c twice? Or was that a typo? You are such a sweet example of baking with littles. I’m loving the promise cards and abc scripture cards! Thank you! As a wife and homeschooling mama of four little children, I look up to your example. Lord bless you!

You should make a bunch of loaves and sell them at a local farmers market. ❤ You such a wonderful wife and mom, God bless you!

Hi Erin...I just love your channel....it exudes love of family and God! I too am gluten sensitive and have been using sprouted wheat for my bread/english muffins. I'm not in a position to purchase a mill or even a power mixer, so can I get the same result using the sprouted wheat flour? And can I use a hand mixer? I just loved how your dough is just so soft and pliable! I've been wanting to try sourdough for some time now and you've made me want to try! Thank you again for all that you do. Your many God-given talents are such a joy and gift to all of us!

I liked copying down this recipe., thank you. It looked really good. I've been making plain sourdough bread, pizza dough, pancakes for a couple of years. I've made whole wheat bread the entire time my children were growing up. Tried a few sourdough ww recipes here and there, but never was thrilled with the outcome. So I'm excited about this recipe.

Love sourdough

Isn't sourdough the best?! I've been doing sourdough for years, but still picked up some tips from this video, thank you! We do sourdough pizza every Friday night. So fun!

That looks delicious thank you for sharing i lo e how you let your daughter help you

Love your channel! Just ran across it. Did you know the Kitchen Aid mixers have recalled the white aluminum paddles for lead poisoning. Yikes! I have them too and am calling Kitchen Aid for replacements tomorrow! Blessings!

I remember baking bread when I was little

We love this recipe too! I too only have the 5 qt artisan kitchen aid. However I have to hand knead at the end. I tried it in my bosch (bough it to make bread!) and I felt the same as you...it didn't mix it enough. The first time I made this in my Kitchenaid (halved since I know it couldn't handle the full recipe) it went over the top of the dough hook, all up into the spring where it clicks in and under the ring at the top. I was cleaning dough out of there for months. I have never taken it apart to see if it went inside too. I think it did because sometimes dry pieces were falling out. So please don't take the chance! Hand knead for that 9 minutes till you can upgrade.

How do you find time to do recipes like this? I only have one little one who is 17 mo and I can’t imagine finding time to make this! But, this was really fun to watch! You are very calming to watch. Thank you for sharing!

Im going to try it .i never baked bread til covid. When i was little my friends grandma always cooked with it so good..the only downside is when you bake bread store stuff is awful. ..i do rolls alot too and freeze them

Sure it yummy

I LOVE making fresh bread. Your assistant is very mature. ❤ 🎃 Mmmm ~ I just turned my smell-o-vision on. 🍞 🥖 I’m making this tomorrow. Thanks for all the little tips with this recipe. They will really help.

Thank you for sharing! I have wanted to learn your recipe! What type of wheat do you buy from azure for this recipe?

My favorite sour dough bread comes from san Francisco

So glad to see you move to Florida,God bless your family.What part of Florida u move ?We live in the Hollywood area it's so crowded ,we are thinking to move out of here, not decided yet but we like NC.or TN.God bless and enjoy FL.

the quality of your videos are so great! What do you use for a camera or what K etc do you use? Great recipe erin!

Loved the video Erin! One question, do you feed your starter with the wheat that you grind? I have always used unbleached bought at the store in mine but was wondering if it would work with flour ground straight from wheat.

This looks so good!!😋 Where do you find your starter? Sorry I'm new to sourdough 😬

Thank you for this video. Could you please specifically share what kind of wheat berries you use for this recipe? Also, when I order from azure everything only comes in paper packaging. What size/weight do you order to be delivered in the buckets? Thanks!

Erin, thanks for the utube! Great! Do you use the liquid or powder lecithin? Thank you. : )

How do you keep your sourdough with all the humidity? It was easy in Idaho but I haven't been successful since moving to the South - currently in Florida! Do you only keep it in the fridge until ready to use? How long do you leave it out for?

Erin I have tried and tried and haven’t made one good sourdough loaf, edible but not that good. I will definitely try this one after I get a few of these ingredients I haven’t tried before. I think the thing that confuses me the most about the process is that it seems to be almost an all day thing and I haven’t figured out how to time it all. I don’t want to be baking bread at night but it seems that’s when it all comes together. 😔

♥️

When you turn the kitchen aid on, what speed to do you use?

Erin is so wonderful

She reminds me so much of Carson
