Your first sourdough loaf
Channel: An Amateur Bakes

First, don't panic, the first few segments I filmed in portrait orientation, but I very quickly switched to the much superior landscape orientation. Anyway...

This whole channel started with this... A friend got her first starter, and asked for help. Of course, even if it weren't a COVID-19 quarantine going in, I couldn't go to her, because I'm in Florida and she's in California. So I did the next best thing: I baked the recipe with her, and sent her videos with each step.

The recipe we chose is the "Easy Artisan Sourdough" recipe from the "An Oregon Cottage" website; all credit for the recipe to them. It's a fairly easy recipe and can be found at this link: https://anoregoncottage.com/easy-sourdough-artisan-bread/

This video that you're about to watch is cut and edited and condensed into about 12 minutes, but it represents about 6 hours of work (not including the time it took to create my own sourdough starter, of course). Please excuse my less-than-pristine kitchen and my one-handed phone filming; I wasn't expecting anyone to see this but my friend. However, my wife saw me doing this, and suggested I post to YouTube. Here you are, honey!

If you like what you see, go ahead do all that like and subscribe stuff. If you do, I'll be encouraged to do more, and I'll even clean the kitchen first :)

Thanks for watching, and enjoy!
