Welcome to the video on making sourdough bread.

Show the unfed hungry sourdough starter, indicating it has risen and then fallen back down.

Use a scale to measure 165 g of sourdough starter into a bowl.

Zero out the scale and add 400 g of cool to room temperature water.

Use a Danish dough whisk to mix the starter and water together.

Zero out the scale again and add 650 g of flour to the mixture.

Add 15 g of Redmond's real ancient fine sea salt to the bowl.

Mix all ingredients together with the Danish dough whisk for 3 to 5 minutes until well combined, noting that the dough will look thick but will become wetter as it mixes.

Cover the bowl with a wet tea towel and let it bulk ferment on the countertop for about 3 hours.

After 3 hours, check the dough's texture and shape it into a ball by pulling the dough from one side of the bowl to the other.

Transfer the dough onto parchment paper and place it into a smaller bowl to help it keep its shape while resting.

Cover the dough with a wet tea towel and let it rest on the counter for about 1 hour.

After 1 hour, sprinkle flour on the dough and prepare to score it.

Allow the creator's daughter to score the dough creatively using a bread lame, explaining the importance of scoring for gas release and oven spring.

Place the scored dough into a cold Dutch oven without preheating it.

Put the Dutch oven into a cold oven and set the temperature to 450°F, starting a timer for 1 hour.

After 1 hour, reduce the oven temperature to 425°F and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
