*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!

Bread Lame (for scoring):
Rice Flour:
Levain:
45g mature starter
45g unbleached all purpose flour
45 g stone ground whole wheat flour
90g filtered water at room temperature

273g unbleached bread flour
500g unbleached all purpose flour

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.
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.
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.
10:00 A.M. Optionally score, and bake your loaves.
Cool them on wire racks.

Yikes.. I've already got my starter so there's no going hack now. It just seems like so much!!
I’m excited to try your recipe! Thanks. Also, would love a video on Challah!
Just starting this process! On day two! I have watched this video 5 times already! Thanks for making it!
Thank you!!! 💚
Can't believe I actually pulled this off! I made a lot of mistakes the first time around and I was worried it was gonna be a sad burnt blob, but it actually came out really killer! Making loaf #2 now following proper protocols (and making it rosemary gralic bread, so a lottle twist. Just through that stuff in along w the salt) and it looks ✨sexy ✨
No doubt there will be many more lovely loaves to come thanks to this video 💚
I hope that this one works out for me. It’s been a few weeks of trial and error for me. This is my second time using this recipe. I used it last week but didn’t follow it to a T because i wasn’t home when I should have started proofing it. Today, I finally was and I can just see the difference. It felt so different when I was shaping them to proof. Both in the fridge now. Praying they turn out!
Proofing. My oven has a proof setting. It's apx 90 -100 degrees. I know in the video you put your proofer to 78 degrees. How long should I proof the leaving and the dough for at the temp my oven proofs at. Thank you.
I absolutely 💯 enjoy your channel.
Sourdough bread has been around for hundreds of years. I'm willing to bet it's been made successfully without a scale, thermometer or banneton. Oh, and I bought your book. Love it.
I thought that correcting yourself in the voice over was really funny instead of rerecording it. haha Thanks for the video, trying this out today. My oven has an LED light that doesn't create any heat.
Trying this tonight after a few failed loaves (different recipe)… it’s already working soo much better! So excited for the turnout, wish me luck! 😅
is my oven really heated when I leave just turn the light on, or do you mean after it was heated and I turn it off with just the light on? If it is the first case, thats quite the life hack
Thank you for posting this without giant clickbait "I can't believe it face" thumbnail.
Wow, this was a great tutorial. You made this look really, really enjoyable. I can’t wait to make my first loaf. When I do, it will be my first loaf of bread ever, and I’m 61. Thanks for this great in the video it’s really been super helpful! Bake on, little dude!💜
Thank you
I love how he said ✨beginner’s✨ like as if
Thanks for an amazing video! My second load is in the oven right now. Do you have a link to your awesome circular cooling rack?
Don’t forget to lower the temp when you take the lid off! I took my loaf out a little early cause the crust was looking nice, and the inside was a bit doughy. Realized I forgot to lower the temp. 🙂 Second loaf will be better.
I love your content, but I have to stop listening because the music is too loud and just so repetitive
How do I know how much starter to use in my recipe?
How should you approach the baking differently, if I do not posses a cast iron pot?
Here in San Diego, ca., we have hard water and it sucks for baking!
Josh, I have a question. You say that during the bulk formation we need to do the stretch and fold right?. Does that mean I need to take the dough out of my warm spot during the 3 -4 hours to do the three repetitions of the 3 stretches? I'm just confused as to whether I waith for the bulk formation to complete and then do the stretch and fold or do it while bulk formation
I have made this recipe three times now and every time it has come out amazing! Thank you for making this video and sharing with all of us. I am wondering if I want to omit the wheat flour would I use the same amount of bread flour in place of that and water? thanks
Hi Joshua
I had an accident so couldn’t start fermentation until 2230 in the late evening. I wonder if I could leave the dough in the fridge and start fermentation the next morning? If so is there anything extra I need to do in the morning?
is the scaling of 30% ap flour, 15% bread flour, 5% whole wheat, 40% water and 10% sourdough starter accurate enough to do the follow up?
I love how your beginning recipe requires random ingredients and equipment that no one has.
I don't know if I'm just too stupid for baking fancy sourdough or what, but unlike basically everyone else here this was more or less a catastrophic failure for me. Followed the recipe exactly with a very vigorous starter, but the dough stuck like a mother fucker to my unfloured countertop and made shaping it completely, messily impossible.
I twisted the recipe so much! Using so much guess work cause I didn’t have half of the stuff. And I’m about to put the dough in the oven in five minutes!
(For some understanding of how much I change the recipe, I used powdered sugar instead of rice flour cause that’s all I had)
This is the simple version?!? I started expecting this to be some kind of Tim & Eric gag where each step slowly gets more surreal and unsettling than the last.
What’s the beginning song to this video?
I’m so grateful you made this video because after making the starter I was like what now? How do I put this in bred? How to!!?? So thank you!! <3
Joshua what are all brand names of the flour you use. Please share 🙏🏻
I'll just buy a loaf at the store for $1.
What’s the difference between whole grain flour and wholewheat flour anybody know?
I just spent a week making the starter, and the last two days making this bread. Oh, my goodness, it is AMAZING! The bread turned out a bit denser, without the big bubbles, but I like it better that way. The butter doesn't drip through onto your fingers and clothes. 🙂 But the flavor is just as good as the top two bakeries in Northern California: Acme Bread in Berkeley, and Grateful Bread here in Sacramento. Thank you for getting me through this process, Josh!
Do exactly what he says and you’ll have amazing bread! I’ve made this twice, and I’m on the third one now. It’s so good
