Perfect Sourdough: How Kneading Makes a Difference. 4 mixing methods give different results!

Published 2024-06-20
Have you ever wondered how important kneading is in the art of making bread? I certainly have, and after five years of baking sourdough bread, I've developed my own simplified method that consistently yields great results. While there are many methods that produce amazing bread, they often involve complex, time-consuming processes that demand a lot of attention.

In my experiments, I used the same recipe for each loaf, always with white spelt wheat flour and consistent time intervals. The only variation was in the autolyse kneading technique, while keeping the resting time constant.

I hope this video will be useful and help improve your sourdough baking skills.

250 ml (1 cup) of water (room temperature)

400 g (3.2 cups) of flour
7 g (1 tsp) of salt
Baking Instructions

Thank you very much for watching! 🤗

    Я давно для себя выбрала 4- вид.Из одного рецепта выходит разный по вкусовым качествам хлебушек,это 3 вида выпекания : батонами на лотке,в казане под крышкой,и- подовый.По какому вкусу заскучаю - тот вид и готовлю.Сейчас я пеку батоны по тому же рецепту,но на тыкве с добавлением измельченными в кофемолке семенами тыквы.Так же,как и вы,не вижу смысла заморачиваться.В замесе бросаю всё,вымешиваю деревяной ложкой недолго,само отходит от стенок,далее - на столе методом складывания,припорашивая мукой,всё " на глаз ",затем 4 раза по 30 минут расстойки расстягиваю,складываю.Благодарю!!!Вы- молодчина!

    Thank you very much for showing us your experiment, very interesting!! I am a person who finds it difficult to stand up and down so I stretch and fold bread on my lap! I start by putting all ingredients in a large lightweight plastic bowl, mix well to incorporate all flour put a shower cap over and take it to my chair, I have small table next to me I place the bowl on it, I have a jug of water now when an hour has gone by I give it 4 stretch and folds on my lap place back on table 30 mins later I give it another 4 stretch and folds , I give it 4 stretches in all if I want the bread on that day I keep an eye on it and put my oven on 230 temp I take back to the worktop and flour the surface place dough onto the flour a stretch out gently and fold tightly then place in muffin large Pyrex casserole which has already been lined with parchment paper I stitch it tightly then put he lid on I go back about 2 hours later and then cut with scissors and place In oven with lid on. Cook in usual way, it comes out great!! I have a chair in the kitchen I use I always have a timer in case I forget. I know this is a long chat I just it helps some one out there like me, I like to watch T V while I am waiting ha! Ha ! I make ordinary bread this way also.❤
