Mrs B wanted wanted to make sourdough bread. This is the method she selected from YouTube. In early 2019 she made the mother, when we left she bequeathed to her friend and Blobby is still alive. This guy is an excellent teacher. NB for the Brits don't use British commercial bread flour when using your mother. After WW2 the British Government brought in a law to stop children getting Rickets. Calcium and other vits/minerals were added to bread flour and margarine.Showing the additives on the packet was not required and still isn't I believe. This makes the mass produced bread using the Chorleywood process very dense with no random air holes. Mass Bakers in the UK add "improvers" to get that random holes. We used Waitrose Canadian High gluten(13%) flour.
Because of the holes in a trad made sourdough bread sandwiches can be leaky, if you want non leaky sourdough the second vid shows you how achieve that using a bread making machine.The crust and flavor are the same but fewer or no holes.
