The 4 BEST SOURDOUGH PROOFING Methods Compared
This is how You master sourdough proofing by utilising those 4 best methods. All of the methods are evaluated individually and then compared side by side. This way you will get more oven spring and that mouthwatering ear every time.
We will be covering the proofing stage in depth, having a look at the shaping process first since it acts as a foundation for your following proofing stage. Then we will be having a look at 4 different proofing techniques, reviewing the pros and cons of each of them.
The recipe for the dough:
– 400 grams of bread flour (15% protein), you can mix wheat gluten to get there if you have less protein.
– 100 grams of ground whole wheat flour
– 100 grams of rye starter (20%)
– 350 grams of water (70%) – if you have less protein (12%), I recommend to try 65% water. With 15% protein you can easily go as high as 85% hydration, however, this is my simple same day recipe.
– 10 grams of salt
Instructions:
1. Mix flour and water and let that sit for 2 hours
2. Mix in your sourdough starter at peak performance plus your salt
3. Incorporate everything for around 3 minutes
4. Let that mixture sit 15 minutes
5. Bench knead the dough for 3 minutes
6. Extract a small probe to check bulk fermentation progress. Mark that probe. When it doubled in size, proceed. Make sure the probe stays close to your main dough. Check for more timings.
7. When you see your dough flattened out, apply a coil fold. Try to apply the last coil fold around 1 hour before your dough is ready to be shaped. The less you coil fold, the more open your crumb.
8. Shape your dough directly out of the container
9. Proof your dough like mentioned in this video
10. Bake your dough directly

Moin and Gluten Tag. Just wanted to share a couple of other videos that I recommend you to have a look at.
The full process of baking sourdough, A-Z – my masterclass can be found here: https://youtu.be/NMglhwp2lNs
In general, fermentation is king. Depending on your schedule I would suggest to use one of the methods that I show in this video. This is going to make your bread better. If you have questions feel free to reach out at any time. Cheers!
I can't believe the bread in the reveal is the bread you cut! Did you not cook it for longer afterwards?? It's so much browner 🙂
As an American who just moved to Germany and is trying to make bread for the first time… this is exactly what I needed. Thank you 🙌🏻 The flour situation has been so confusing but I finally have a handle on it now
this explains my last bread 😂👌🏻
Have you ever done a comparison between baking on stone and using steel? I am wondering which is more efficient?
this is super super useful. I always only look at how big it grew, guess they are over fermentated and so was flat. Will use my magic finger nx time! 🤪
Sooo helpful! Thank you! 🥖
Why not try saying "Gluten Tag" 🙂
Seems like it shouldn’t be this complicated….
You did it, one more awesome video. Thank you !!!
I loved the comment about Dutch oven open in moment😍
great pointers. as usual, leave it to the Germans to engineer bread to perfection. I never made bread or baked prior to 2020. With no where to go, I started making bread watching videos. This one helped a lot, I was not getting a good rise or air pockets. This is great stuff. Thanks!
Epic result….
Too much talking…
Hi! Firstly, your channel is a bible for my sourdough baking and you rock! Secondly, Don’t you feel the freezer technique created two layers of very contrast dough stiffnesses? The loaf still has amazing oven spring, but I cant see the “yield” part of the ear. Also, year after the video, what technique do you mostly use now when baking wheat sourdough?
Hello German:) i have seen that you use hand kneading approach frequently. Based on that, i have a doubt: could the optimum growth percentage be affected by the quality of the gluten network (window pane achieved in the knead) somehow? I mean, dough knead with stand mixer is supposed to have a more developed gluten network. then could the optimum loaf be in the range of 100% growth (or more) or the optimum growth % remains the same? I have noted that stand mixer knead doughs are less elastic (like a spring with greater k, for the geeks hahaha) than hand knead ones and this also reflects on a more chewy crumb. I'd like to know if you have any experience on that… Thanks. I'm enjoying withyour videos from Brazil.
Hello again. I don't see anyone talking about the additional proofing time that occurs in the refrigerator before the dough reaches that target "below 40 degrees". I would like to be able to figure out how long it takes my dough to reach that temp. Do you include that time in your proofing formula? I am starting to look at it as maybe 2 to 3 hours before the yeast slows down enough to lessen their affect on the dough. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.
Your bread looks amazing. Thanks for sharing.
I know you are not a WWII spy because you did ze German 4 and not ze English 4.
Guten Tag 🙂 Thank you for your videos, can't believe I'm binge-watching bread videos! Could I please ask if you could do a video specifically about the use of spelt flour? It's a flour that even many good bakers are not familiar with and cannot give much advice about substituting/adjusting in ingredients, adjustment of kneading techniques and time, etc. Also a search on Google does not return much systematic information about spelt flour in baking, if at all.
If a video is not possible, even some tips would be very much appreciated!
the greatest to ever do it
I’m at this stage now and having a hard time getting it right. Dough looks great and fluffy once I put it in the shaping bowl but when I put it in the ref to proof for about 12 hrs, the dough looses it’s fluffyness and becomes a bit flat. Will try room temp next time
