Well in my decades of making bread,grinding my own grains and harvesting my own wild yeasts(it lives on every grain) I learned to create my own starter,without buying it.If you want a more diverse starter is several kinds of flour..and as far as sour dough bread starter, did you know you can store it dried and crusty for years and just reconstitute it with water when you need it? .no need to throw away or bake quantities of breads and muffins just to use what is discarded, etc.. just dry it ,crumble it up and store in a jar...I love your videos, you are very smart and knowledgeable..and explain things very clearly..

Cover the bowl of starter with cheese cloth, allow it to dry completely to a crusty mess, then break it up and put it in canning jars, or empty glass jars.Reconstitute when needed

How do I go about reconstituting dried starter? My mom sent me some in the mail and I finally have some time to think about getting it going.

@MagdaFoldi 2 жыл бұрын

@@AuntNutmeg The way I make my dry sourdough starter is I spread a thin layer on parchment paper and let it air dry. It comes off really easy and then I just crumble it into small flakes and keep it in air tight container in the fridge. To reconstitute I use a one to one ratio of flakes and warm water, so to a quarter cup flakes I add a quarter cup warm water and stir. When it is all dissolved I feed equal amounts of water and flour. The dry sourdough lasts indefinitely, so if you don*t bake often, it is the best way to store your sourdough so you do not have to keep feeding and discarding. I would like to add something I learned along the way. Just a few days ago I took out a jar of starter from the fridge that I have not fed in about a year. It had a lot of light brown liquid on top which is called hooch. I poured it off added two tbsp all purpose flour and water and left it on my counter. It had more hooch come to the top. I poured it off and fed it again, and one more time it had a little more hooch, poured that off and fed again. Left it on the counter overnight and fed it in the morning. It is beautifully active and smells wonderful. Many people don*t want to do starters, they are worried if the go for vacation it will die on them. It is very hard to kill sourdough. If it is not infected by some mold spores, it can be reactivated after months and months of no feeding. The yeast will go dormant, that*s all. This new idea that you have to feed it so often is crazy. I am not saying leave it alone for a year, but even if you bake once a month you can just take it out ofthe fridge and feed it the day before. Hope this helps 😊

I love the idea of the knobby bread. I have been making bread for about 40 years. I only made sourdough occasionally until I decided I didn't have to follow the directions of the "experts" who said it could only be made one way and with only one type of flour. Like Stacy I found my way. I keep my sourdough on the counter and feed it every day but only about a tablespoon of water and flour each time. If it gets a little loose I add more flour and if too dry I add more water. By baking day I have what I need to make bread and I use all the starter except for a couple of tablespoons, and then the process starts over. I don't knead, just do some gentle folding once the dough looks pliable. Sometimes the dough is ready for baking in 24 hours and sometimes 48. It just depends on the weather.

There is a guy called ChainBaker that has some excellent vids from start to finish. PS: If anyone is reading this, and you don't have starter...you can make do with a VERY small amount of regular yeast (super small), with a very long amylase and cold ferment in the fridge...and get something that is pretty close. Looks beautiful, tastes fantastic, and keeps really well on the counter. As easy as this, and an actual good result. Disappointed in this video because I started out thinking it was going to be really good, and then it went so far off track it falls into the category of a time waster!

Rye is wonderful, but is very different from wheat. It has less gluten, and the gluten is less resilient than wheat gluten. So once the dough is risen, get it in the oven right away! If you over-proof wheat dough, you can punch it down & let it rise again. Rye is only good for one rising!

Reading the Bible it seems to say that the leaven must be put OFF YOUR PROPERTY -- so we have found a place that is not on our property but where it is safe to put the starter. (For fresh starter all you need to do is cover it WELL in flour and close the lid.) One year I got permission from a neighbor to put it under her front bushes. That was okay, but weird -- and didn't want to ask her again. Another year we put in on the property that is actually our neighbor's property between our houses and behind a large tree, inside a paper bag. That year something had opened all of it -- probably thinking it was drugs or something, who knows?! But now we realize that the back edge of our backyard is actually an easement owned by the city, and we'll be putting it there from now on I think.

Stacy, thank you so much for this idea! I made three loaves successfully, using your method and the stainless pans. My measurements of water and flour were different of course. My timing for the bulk fermentation was different also. It’s amazing how different things are depending on what our starter is like, type of flour, flour milling, home temp, humidity. It is all about learning to read your starter and the dough. I never understood knitting fisherman sweaters either, until I learned how to read my knitting. Just going by the pattern will not get you to the correct finished project. I purchase spelt berries and einkorn berries, then make the flour in my Blendtec. I live in WI and it’s been in the 40’s to 50’s temps outside. So the house has been at around 68-70 F. I just watched the video a few times, then wrote it down.

There were 11 children in our Family. Mother made a huge pot of soup (Usually seasoned bean soup with meat) every Saturday and baked 20 or 30 loaves of bread. Some of us loved to take a large bread heal, hollow it, butter it, put it in a bowl, add the loose bread pieces in the hollow, and pour in the soup. Wonderful memories.....

Sour dough is my favorite.

Yum! Baked tonight and had my first tangy 'sour' bread 🍞. Thanks so much for giving us a recipe for the rule breakers!!!!

Having watched a bunch of videos on sourdough, I’ve discovered that there are many different ways of making it. Yours was the only one that explained why sourdough is healthier than the regular yeast bread! Thanks for that info! Also, this one was the most “out of the box” method I’ve seen! I like the three section part and how you can break them off! That’s cool! I just tried making it for the first time, I spent the whole week making starter from scratch, the whole 9 yards... lucky for me, all my stress and research paid off and even though my scoring didn’t work out too well, and there was a little too much flour on the dough, it came out very good, a solid 8 out of 10! Even so, I’m very tempted to try you “No Fuss, no muss” method!
