My technique video below demonstrates Pre-Shape and Shape for 3 loaves of sourdough. I'll teach you how to build tension for that fantastic oven-spring. We'll work with 3 loaves of dough: 2 are my Beginner Tartine Sourdough Bread recipe, and the 3rd is an intermediate loaf using whole wheat and spelt.
I also show you how to check for "PROOFING", and preparing your bannetons for your overnight cold retard.
If you're new to sourdough - please check my Sourdough School pages, my beginner recipe video, and my other technique videos - all in the Sourdough Video Tutorials Tab. There I have how I worked the stretch and folds, and coil folds for the loaves we shape below.
And, finally! - if you'd like to see how I score and bake this - follow this link --> Technique: Learn To Score and Bake Sourdough. Demonstrating Three Loaves.

Hello Sara. Just wanted to say thank you for presenting so many comprehensive videos about making and working with sourdough. I have been making sourdough for only 6 months and trying out different methods and recipes. I find your videos have helped me to fine tune my methods; especially the shaping. And love the wrap! Definitely will keep that in the routine. Working with high hydration doughs can be frustrating at times, but the results are always tasty, so the effort is well worth it. Thanks once again.
