I had my doubts about my sourdough journey. 3 years in and i thought let me give theses guts a go. I tried my first loaf and thought ok, then my second and thought finally I got it. Then I invested in the sourdough dutch oven and tonight I put it to the test. I put my sourdough sandwhich loaf and I was amazed with the result. I have finally found a non over complicated method and to you I say thankyou. I'm yet to cut into the loaf as its just out of the oven.
I love this Dutch oven, it’s a game changer!
Since using the You Knead Sourdough recipe, my bread has been consistently great. I used to bake in a heavy 5‑quart Dutch oven, but with my new oven it was too bulky and ended up burning the bottom of my sourdough. After switching to the Slim Cast Iron Dutch Oven, every loaf has come out spot on — even bake, great crust, no scorching.
The Danish Dough Whisk has been fantastic. I normally use my KitchenAid, but the whisk brings the dough together quicker and helps it absorb moisture more evenly.
The banneton is smaller than my old oval one, but the dough proofs beautifully and holds its shape really well. My wife reckons the sourdough now tastes just like it’s come straight from a bakery.
Great quality gear that genuinely improved my sourdough routine.
This is very small. Sent back for a refund that i never recieved back. Even after contacting then. Don't waste your money. Its too much to throw down the drain.
