You won’t believe how easy it is to make Sourdough Bread at home. This beginner-friendly sourdough recipe does not require kneading and has straightforward and clear steps. Perfectly crusty on the outside and tender on the inside, you will love this chewy loaf bursting with rich, deep flavor. This is my favorite bread and making at at home is so fun!

Sourdough is one of my all time favorite breads. I love how bread in general takes little to no baking equipment or ingredients, but only technique, time and patience. Just started my sourdough starter today. Been buying my sourdough bread for so long, I can't wait to finally make it myself.
Question tho: I don't have a cast iron pot. Is there any alternative ways I can bake this?
I am the lazy sourdough bread maker. I have a recipe that I mix up, throw in the fridge overnight, never spending my day folding and fussing (tried that way)🙃, and in the morning letting it warm while I do other things, then butter a loaf pan + a mini loaf pan, plop in there with a bowl scrapper, let it sit 20 minutes, no scoring needed, and half hour later I have a delicious loaf of sourdough bread. 😋 Easy Peasy. 😉 😉
please upload a video how to make a sourdough started =) thank you
Hi John, just made my first Sour dough bread as per your instructions. Great success.
Just wondering what size Dutch oven pot do you use, I used a 2.5 ltr pot, should I be using a 4.ltr pot?
What should I use if I don't have that pot?
what's the difference between a hormone and an enzyme?
you can hear a hormone, but you can't hear an enzyme.
You can also leave the water out overnight and most of the chlorine will evaporate.
I’ve tried making sourdough starter about 8 times with different types of flour, but it never works. I’ll try this and hopefully your starter works 🥹
I just started my sourdough journey and I stumbled across your video and let me tell you. Flawless!! Tasty crispy chewy crust and such a delicious taste. You made this accessible to novices like me and your instructions are explained so well. And I remembered that trivet!! Tysm
Please! Sourdough starter video!
I saw a leaf…. But im a botanist
Did you really just eye it when putting your flower in??? Haha omg If i did that I'd somehow catch the house on fire or something. You got balls man.
Ok random but I’ve never made anything before and I’m curious what’s your favorite way to clean your counter tops? Putting the dough straight onto the counter makes me conscious of what type of cleaner I should be using.
I have to say that your explanation of how to make a good sourdough loaf of bread has been the easiest for me to understand the how and why one does all the steps….thank you SO much….love your kitchen as well👍
If you only put dove in fridge for 12 h or 1 h if raining outside first, fo you still need to cover it up with plastic wrap? My dove felt a bit lumpy … I followed yo the tip but I used wholemeal flower so hope it won't turn too dry or lumpy
Hi, John , looking forward to a detailed video about sour dough.
And thank you very much for your wonderful recipes.
Dear Preppy Kitchen; the sourdough starter blog description does NOT mention the exact amounts of flour and water!!!
Yes… Can you please make a video explaining how to make the starter?
In my experience tap water does not kill the sourdough starter, however for extra caution and just to be nice to my precious wild yeasts I let it stand overnight to evaporate the chlorine
Not only do I want your baking skills, I want your kitchen! I keep getting distracted by everything I want in the background 😂
Yes, full sour dough started tutorial PLEASE
Forgot to ask you where you got your cast iron dutch oven or where you recommend getting a decent one? Thank you.
Great video! Sourdough bread is one of my favorites. I love the way you teach because your calm, thoughtful and you take care to show us step by step instructions. Much appreciated.
Yes, please! Make a sourdough starter video. Please!!!
WOWBREADWOWYOUAREANINTERNETSENSATIONASFUCK
Can one do this with gluten free flour? I love bread so much but wheat makes me sick, sick, sick. 😫
I need to know how to make a sourer dough starter please!!
lol, jesus, got it. no chlorine. like omg… chlorine is so baaad… da dur…..
looks amazing. I'm going to make some now.
Yes, I need full steps on starter. Thank you.
I am trying this now follow for my result
Love it and thank you but too much time and work for a loaf of bread.
Bread came out crusty, chewy and amazingly complex…BUT the loaf is half the size of yours. Now I’m not a size queen, but what gives? Should I add a little yeast next time?
Great outcome! Unless you are prepping the starter in a bakery, the yeast in the starters come from the wheat flours used, not so much from the air. Whole wheat normally has a good amount of lactic acid bacteria, natural yeasts, and nutrient to support them. Also, the “sour” flavor in sourdough comes from the acidity created by lactic acid bacteria not the yeast. The byproduct of yeast metabolism is alcohol and CO2, not acid.
My dough came out way too sticky after the first 6hr proof. I think I may have over proofed my dough. Will try again. Any tip and tricks when your dough comes too sticky ?
Hi John. I'm 70 and never tried making SD bread and never intended to..i even sold my dutch oven whaaa!! i must admit i winged it a bit with my starter just throwing some bread flour and filtered water into a jar, not expecting things to work at all, i never even measured anything, but surprise surprise i now have a healthy bubbly SD starter. I thought uh oh now i have to really start making this bread and who do i turn to to teach me, well there's only one person an that is you my lovely. so as we speak my dough is in the process of the 6 hour rest and bubbles are forming and i'm happy with what i see. I will update tomorrow after completion although i'm now scratching my head as to what the heck i'm going to bake it in. Thanks for a great easy to follow video.
please do an in depth sour dough starter video! 🙂
PLEASE please please show us how to make really great sourdough starter to make San Francisco sourdough bread–the best!!!
Nice video, great explanations but way too many unnecessary steps. If good bakeries would need almost 18 hours to make sourdough bread they would go bankrupt. You can make good sourdough bread in less than 2-3 hours. This video is only for people who got nothing to do all day.
Wow! I bet it's delicious. I will gladly pay whatever price the bakery asks cause that's a lot of work! 😄
Is it okay for the first 6-12 hours that it rests for more than 12 hours?
مرحبا انا من المعجبين بالصفحه و اغلب الوصفات قمت بتطبيقها و رائعه واريد وصفه الخميره اكثر وضوح وشكرا لك وعلى جهودك
The look on your face when you realized you ruined your expensive Boos block. I felt your pain. I can't even afford a pricey cutting board. So sad.
Any words of wisdom for a bread that rises very well perfectly round dome and crunchy on the outside and nearly perfect crumb inside but the crust was always too thick! I had always been told that the bread did not rise enough (it could not have risen any further) or that a skin had developed but that didnt seem correct. I live in Florida could the humidity be a factor? I tried reducing the humidity in the home in summer and winter but my beautiful risen bread with crunchy crust was always way too thick like a 1/3" or more thick so you had to knaw on the outer portion of the bread.
Any pointers?
This makes me want to send flowers to the bakery just to say, "Thanks." That's A LOT of steps!!!
It looks delicious thank you
