Sourdough Bread Recipe | Byron Talbott

Hey, what's up guys welcome back to my channel today. I have a very cool recipe for you guys But before I dive into it, I want to briefly talk with you a little bit more about Squarespace now last week I gave you sort of a rough outline of what Squarespace is all about They're basically a company that helps people who want to build websites who don't have the resources or the financial budget To be able to build a website. I'm definitely one of those people I'm gonna be building a website through Squarespace So I want to share with you some of the cool features that I find really handy and necessary They have 24-7 tech support, which I want to be using all the time eight bucks a month Which is really good on my wallet and all of the material you put on your website is scalable down to a portable device Which is great because I carry my phone around everywhere so I can check on my site wherever I am But the feature I want to talk about today is called the menu block So it's really geared towards those businesses who utilize a menu So it's really gonna be pertaining to food businesses But like I said, it's really geared towards any business that uses a menu So the menu block helps you update and manage your business's menu. It's automatically formatted. You don't have to tweak the text So basically half the work is done for you And if you're like any restaurant that I know about you want to update your menu every two months Or when seasons change or when the trends change so this can make business and life a whole lot easier Alright, so now under the recipe now when I was touring through Squarespace, they have a featured site called breads by bread shop It's just a really cool artisanal bread shop And I was inspired to make some sourdough through their site. They have some really cool rustic Really crusty sourdough breads. It just looked really delicious. So I want to show you guys how I make my sourdough bread Hope you guys enjoy this recipe and let's get in the kitchen making some sourdough All right. So the first thing up is making some sourdough starter So in a bowl, you're gonna add bread flour dry active yeast some sugar and some warm water Then you're gonna mix this until it's completely smooth After that, you're gonna cover it with some plastic wrap and put it in a warm area in your kitchen for it to ferment For about six to eight hours All right, so it's been about seven hours and the yeast is really active You can tell because the mixture is sort of bubbly and sort of coming alive So now I'm gonna add some more flour mix it around then turn it on to a lightly floured surface and start turning this Sort of globby mess into a ball of dough Just knead it for about five minutes on a lightly floured surface Once you're done kneading it and it turns into a nice smooth ball You're gonna put it back into another bowl Lightly dusted with some cornmeal and you're gonna let that proof in a warm area For about an hour and a half or until the dough doubles in size All right, so once the dough is done proofing and it's doubled in size lightly dust some parchment paper with some cornmeal Flour your hands just a little bit and then turn the dough out onto the parchment paper Score the top of it so it can vent some of the steam as it cooks And it's gonna bake at 425 degrees for about 20 minutes All right, so it's been about 20 minutes and the crust on the bread is just beautifully dark and golden brown Take it out of the oven and let it cool down for about 30 minutes before you eat it Well, I am so happy the way this turned out this is just a good-looking piece of bread The crust is just nice and golden brown has a nice a few dark spots on there Just really good caramelized color going on here. I'm just really excited to taste this. So let me just dig in got my bread knife It's gonna cut the edge. The edge is always my favorite right away. You can smell this really sour Almost sweet smell just this pungent savory aroma. It's just delicious. Mmm smells great Really really good If you just toast this up a little bit of melted butter some scrambled eggs That is like my ideal breakfast. Mmm.
