  1. I remember my first sourdough bread. 😂😂😂 it was rock. You could kill somebody with it. You could break the knife trying to cut it. 😂😂😂

  2. i just followed this to make my second ever sourdough bread and it turned out SO GOOD! Claire has so many tip and tricks and explains everything so well. Now I am hooked and will bake again in a couple of days 😀

  3. If you bake bread a couple times a week. What is an ideal amount of water and flour you should feed Your starter (maintenance)?

  4. Cute the way Americans get excited about something that's been around several millennia. Americans are finally awakening to the fact that their existence is sh!t. European bread instead of wonder 'bread', Australian coffee instead of filter sludge, there may be hope for them yet. Next stop, owning spices that are aren't premixed by someone else.

  5. I incorporated a lot of what she said into my King Arthur’s instructions. Best loaf I’ve ever made!🎉

  6. Am.Test Kitchen says to bake to 210 degrees internal temp… and it is good, but exterior isn't very brown. So if baking until very brown, what would the internal temperature be? What is max. internal temperature one can go before ruining the bread?

  7. I have to give sourdough another try these days… Id love to be able to bake bread like that

  8. Always nice to cut a loaf open and see that 'glassy' texture on the gas holes. You know the gluten is well developed. Nice job Claire, bet that was delicious.
