I’m so sorry to hear this, Patti! Does your oven run hot?

I had the same issue as Michelle, my loaf was very dark after 15 minutes uncovered, and it was very difficult to remove from the well oiled loaf pan. This was my first time making sourdough bread. Suggestions?

I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed it so much, Michelle? Just double checking, you are baking it on the center rack correct? If so, is your oven maybe running a little bit hot? It shouldn’t be browning that quickly. 🙁

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.

Just made this the 2nd time. Love it, so good! But it is the perfect color after 10 minutes with the lid off, but not up to 206 degrees (about 180) but last time burnt on the outside. Lower temp after lid off??

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?

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

By: Sarah

Sarah — Fri, 01 Mar 2024 02:33:21 +0000

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??
