My wife and I are newcomers to sourdough bread making. Just getting started. We used the starter and recipe of a friend for our first couple of loaves and enjoyed everything about the bread and the experience of making it.

Then in just the past couple of days we came across your site and recipe and gave it a try. We loved the taste, texture and quality of your bread. Your directions are clear and detailed. Your video also very helpful, especially for “newcomers” to this experience.
thank you for the clear, concise recipe and for the great taste and texture your recipe produces.

I hope you love it, Anne! I have not tried making it straight from the refrigerator so I can’t say for sure how it will work. Let me know how it goes if you do try it. 🙂

I love this recipe, thank you so much for sharing!

I will be putting a loaf in the oven this morning. I read that you can get a better rise going straight from the fridge to the hot oven (no rest at room temp.) But I am afraid to risk my bread lol. Have you tried this?

Thank you again for a wonderful recipe!

10/10 recipe! Thank you so much. I appreciate the photos too. Thank you for converting to cups, tablespoons, and teaspoons too! I normally don’t like sourdough and only learned to bake it for my partner. This recipe was so delicious!

Newbie here…. Thanks for the wonderful directions! I filled along as I was doing the recipe. So great to have the visual 🙂
I ended up making 4 loaves this weekend…. No discarding here lol. But now I think I will just make one loaf a week…. Unless I’m making one to gift somebody

Hi Monica! Personally I would probably do it right at the end before I do the final fold. 🙂

Hi there! Another first timer here. When making mini loaves at what point would we separate the dough for each loaf?

Congratulations on your first loaf, Rebecca! I’m so happy it was such a success! Thank you for the kind words and for trying my recipe, I really appreciate it! ❤︎

My goodness! I can’t believe how perfect this recipe worked out. My first ever sourdough loaf, and it turned out perfect and beautiful! I am still in shock.
I was so intimidated to make my first loaf, but the instructions here were broken down and explained so well that even a newbie like myself can make a sourdough loaf. Thank you so much for this recipe! My new go to!

I’m so glad you’ve been enjoying it so much, Sarah! I do not grease the top pan. 🙂

So an update. I did a bit of research and reduced the time by 25% on the two baking times. I used a pampered chef mini loaf stone but only made three loaves. And I did a foil tent for the first baking segment. It was absolutely perfect! Thanks for the great recipe.

In reply to Shamera.

Hi Shamera! This could work in mini loaf pans, just note the bake time will be different than the 9 x 5 pan that I bake mine in. 🙂

In reply to Amber.

Hi Amber! I think you would have to increase the recipe by 50%. I’m not sure what the bake time would be though.

I LOVE your recipes!!!! I am so excited to try this one. my only question is, I have 2 XL bread pans. they measure 13 x 5. what changes do I need to make with larger pans?

Thank you for this recipe! Like you, prefer the loaf shape for sandwich making. So pleased that the bread turned out great. Will definitely keep this recipe!!

Hello. I am making this recipe for the second time today. Can I make it in mini loaf pans vs one 9×13?

Love this recipe! I’ve been using it for months with tin foil as a tent. I finally got another bread pan, do you grease the pan you use as a lid??

In reply to Mary.

Hi Mary! I have never used a flour with bran in it so I can’t say for sure if you’d need to change anything. 🙁

I’ve been using this recipe for months and have excellent results each time. I switched bread flours though and using Azure brand. Was wondering if proportions change since this has some bran? The bread came out well and is soft even though dough seemed more compact when folding. However, it caused some reflux and I’m wondering if adding more starter will help?

In reply to Lindsay.

Hi Lindsay! I’ve done a lot of testing and this is how I get the best results and flavor. There’s not very much salt so it’s not going to harm the process.

In reply to Stacy.

Hi Stacy! I don’t have a recipe for it yet. I think you’d probably want to stir in cinnamon, and potentially a little bit of sugar when mixing. I would fold the raisins in while you are doing the stretch and fold process. 🙂

Hi, I enjoyed this recipe the first time and I’m making it again. Can you please share why you use salt during autolyse? My understanding is that you typically add salt after autolyse. Either way it’s good, and I’m a new-ish sourdough baker.
