Today I want to walk you through all of the nuances of your sourdough starter to help you better understand the different approaches. We will be covering how to feed your starter, what flour to use when feeding, starter ratios, using your starter in a bread dough, what a leaven is and how to create one, how to change the timing of your feedings and how to speed up or slow down your starter cycle.

Excellent video! When I was a kid, we added sugar to our starter. It seems to get it very active & gives it a great scent and flavor. I wonder if you could comment on adding sugar to starter? I'm not seeing this on KZfaq, but I recall it from childhood and added it to my current starter with great success.

I have a mature starter. I started with 1/4 cup organic unbleached flour, 1/4 cup water. When I discard, I discard half then add the same ratio of 1-1-1. I want to make your sourdough recipe for beginners but it calls for 25grams of mature starter. Do I not discard anything before I use the starter for bread? Id I discarded then I wouldn’t have the 25grams I needed. Also, is it okay I use all unbleached ap flour? Can I make rice flour from rice? I have white jasmine short grain and sushi white. Thank you

I just got my starter that I had kept un-fed in my fridge for about 4-5 months, I didn’t know if it was still alive but decided to try feeding, so I fed it every 24 hours in room temp at a 1-1-1 ratio and within 3-4 days it was rising to more than double it’s original height and peaking at around 3.5 hours after feeding. Day # 1 it didn’t rise at all Day # 2 it rose a little but just barely Day # 3 it rose about double, peaking at the 12 hour point And then day # 4 it rose over double in 3.5 hours. The reason you want to feed every 24 hours in the first days when reviving a VERY DORMANT/un-fed hungry starter is because the yeast bacteria need time to develop and build up again, if you feed too often you discard a lot of yeast bacteria that would have been beneficial to reviving your starter, I learned from experience. I hope this helps someone who wants to know if their starter is salvageable and how to build it very quickly from that state, 😊

Ben Starr teaches, leaving the starter in the fridge for up to several months. He uses how much for his recipe and then feeds it and puts it back in the fridge. He never discards. He bakes enough that he keeps a Tupperware tub of starter in his fridge.

Because they are not professionals. Just home bakers that share what works for them. Still I have learnt bits and pieces from everyone. I think if you want o start baking sourdough (or anything else) you should watch as many and varied as you can to find what works for you. The No Discard Sourdough Starter Betty mentioned from Bake with Jack was the final success for me in the starter department. However I still got valuable information from this video and I agree with this channels viewers, that Bettys presentations are comprehensive without making you lose interest. Learnt a few more tips too.

Summary: 1) Ratios don't matter (not really) 2) fresh starter without yeast added, takes a week to develop 3) use 1:1 ratio (wheat+water) to get started (add warm water and leave starter to sit covered, but NOT SEALED at room temperature) 4) watch for rise in the jar, dome on top means, still rising and VERY active 5) feed 1:1 ratio wheat and water, but total weight of both can be equal to or half of the starter weight (being added to) MAKE SURE TO SKIM OF THE DOUGH ONLY AND DISCARD THE "HOOCH" THE LIQUID THAT IS MOSTLY ALCOHOL (also indicates a hungry starter) 6) after AT LEAST 5 days, starter may be ready for use, feed and watch for dome, just prior to max rise is good for mild tasting bread, flattened dome=strong flavor bread 7) feed the starter prior to baking (or for storage in the fridge)

@1407salam 3 жыл бұрын

Finally someone teaches us how flexible the process is. You are the best. If I decide to increase the amount of food I give to my starter midway, do I have to do this more than once over a few days? Or is it enough to do so only once and bake with the starter the next day? My starter is brand new, has been fed for about 8 days in room temperature, and ready to use. I’d like to do this to lower its level of acidity. It smells too acidic.

Thanks for all your explanation. I'm a person who needs to know the "why" behind it or I just do my own thing. I've had a starter and made 5ish loaves and tried a few other things and was getting frustrated by not understanding the "necessary" discard. I love speeding cuz while yes there is time involved, it's spread out and there are options and it's very forgiving. My first loaf I mashed up different recipes and techniques and let it ferment on counter for 5 hours and it turned out beautifully. And my ADHD self works very well with ok check on this, now leave it alone for a few hours, opposite, better stretch and fold, ok leave it alone. Somehow it just clicks with my brain. I've also collected my discards in a glass bowl and had started in a jar out and then fed that and used it up. Finally pulled out the last of the bowl discards and fed it for tomorrow. I like having the back up in case I forget. I've learned to shrink wrap my counter starter cuz I had some dry up with just a towel on it.

Long video, but a good amount of detail and explanation.. I'm brand new to baking and sourdough. Read that as mostly clueless. So many youtube channels, so many differing opinions and recommendations. It's maddening.

Thanks! You really helped me get a better idea about what’s actually going on with the starter and how to make up a baking schedule that fits my life.

Thank you sooo much! As a person new to sourdough bread making, I found your video very informative! I definitely will watch some of your other videos you dropped links into in your comments! You were very clear and easy to understand. You laid things out simply for the newbies. You also presented yourself so well!

Thank you for your video. I've been watching a lot of videos just trying to get an understanding of sour dough and how i should start and feed, bake, sleep ect the starter. I'm at a greater understanding, thanks to you. Appreciate it

This is the best video! My neighbour has given me some starter and instructions but watching this has made it all so much easier to understand, you are a legend!!

Thank you! This is just the video I needed to help me understand all I need to know about keeping an active healthy starter going as I experiment with my SD loaf baking. I also plan to share this video with anyone I give my starter to so they can have a better chance of success with their SD baking:)

Just discovered your channel earlier this week - I love how your explained all this. It answered a lot of questions I had despite having read lots of bread baking books.

Just wanted to say thank you for making this video!! So helpful. I found so many videos explaining how to make starter, but couldn’t find any really explaining it in further detail. This was great! Just what I was looking for :)

So clear. I went through a few other video’s and felt discouraged and confused. But this was so informative and logically presented. Thank you!

Thank you!!!! I've been trying to figure out why my biscuits weren't rising like before. I had switched up my feeding schedule. Now it all makes sense.

You have informed us like nobody ever after. Thank you! Your work is amazing ❤

Perfect video for me. Now that I have a perfect starter, I didn't know when to add in my dough. I was doing it right after feeding it. I didn't get any rise in my dough for hours and hours and sometimes threw the whole thing away. I'm still learning. Thank you. Subscribing now.

Wow. This was the masterclass I needed. I’ve tried making a starter in the past and it worked but did not understand all the details and timing and what to look out for so I never successfully made bread. Thank you so much for sharing. I feel confident in trying it again.
