- After years of being hesitant to start sourdough we finally did it. What better time than during a terrible winter where we want to hide inside all day.
We fully understand there are many ways to do this! Here is our take with what works best for us. We also have our amazing yeast bread recipe that we certainly wont forget about. The more options the better in our minds.

You need to celebrate each loaf with a "tasting of the bread". Everyone gets a small piece, just out of the oven, and taste it plain, add some butter, try with local honey, use homemade jam and jellies, etc.
I like your method of sourdough. It's simple, not dealing with discard and feeding it everyday, this is why I've never started. To you 🎉 🙌 🎉
I just found your channel. I love all things Alaska and homesteading! What an amazing life you are creating with your little family! Very blessed!
Wish I could try a slice. Looks so good.
Would be good with home made butter and jam!
I have never made sourdough bread, but I do love it with real butter. Yours looks yummy.
Simplicity at its best - beautiful loaf of sourdough❤
You just have the right touch for Sourdough! Don’t change a thing! As long as your Starter makes bubbles after you feed it, that’s all you need. You’re a Sourdough Pro!
My dog is reacting with interest to the baby sounds in the background. So cool... With Aloha...

I have never tried sourdough because it looked to hard. But the way you did it seems ok. I might try your way
Sourdough makes a beautiful pizza base and sourdough rolls are delicious with a stew.
Either way your starter is looking like it’s going to last for a good long while 😊.
Your bread looks delicious!
As a beginner sourdough maker,l really enjoyed this video. I love how you made it less complicated. I am trying your recipe right now😊❤️
I just baked my first ever sourdough loaf the other day. I definitely hyped myself up about it for months overthinking it before my friend gave me some starter.
I’m in some Facebook sourdough groups that would freak out over your methods 😂 All that matters honestly is if it tastes good. There’s so much science to it and grading on “the perfect loaf” it really threw me off of it. It made me not want to get into it and then my friend gave me starter for my birthday and it basically forced me to try it. I actually do a really easy no discard method too and it’s that I keep it dormant and refrigerated and I only keep enough in the fridge to take out, feed and then leave me with the same amount to put back in the fridge. I watched a YT channel called GrantBakes and it was no BS and so easy to follow. I will say that I did the stretch and folds and then proofed it overnight in the fridge but it’s still pretty easy. It just takes pre planning more so than it does time. It’s not as easy as the loaves I bake with commercial yeast but I am discovering something new and hopefully going to have some fun with it!
As a busy teacher, I haven't started sourdough for the same reason, the daily maintenance! I may have to try now that I don't have to deal with daily discard. Thanks for sharing.
That bread starter will make a wonderful grilled cheese with tomato soup ❤❤❤
I have never made sour dough. Watching you I think I’ll give it a try. Thank you🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️
Looks delicious. Donuts are great.
Hello lorri yum yum can I come for tea this was so interesting I've never made sourdough bread as when growing up my parent's who came from the West of Ireland always made Irish soda bread 🍞 and we loved it but watching you make this ya know I'm gonna give this recipe a go thank you so much bless you and I could hear rowan in the background chatting away so sweet.take care ❤❤❤👍👋
Beautiful bread!
Yummy. I had a great starter at one time. Simple is always best with baking
Years ago I tried making my own starter from scratch and failed every time. Starting with an established starter made all the difference!
Looks great 👍Hi from Colorado Springs 😀
Looks good I tried to make some but it was hard as a rock! Most people say stretch and knead but yours turned out perfectly without doing it! Love your channel ❤ just found it ! Beautiful family
I love toasted ham and cheese sandwiches. Now i will have to make more bread. Your bread and grilled cheese look delicious. I'm 😂all for kids being able to care for their needs, at some point they will want to be on their own.
you can also freeze your starter until your ready.
Interesting, if you freeze it how long do you have to wait for it to warm up before you can mix a loaf of bread?
@@remotelifealaskalet us know what she says please
I haven't seen freezing it but the process of drying it seems really easy and then you can keep it in near powder form. I am going to try it in the hopes that if at some point I messaged mine up I can just go to the dry store. 😂
Looks delicious😋
Thank you for sharing how you make your bread. For some reason I thought there was more to it. I think I will give your way a try!!!! 👏 great job!!!!
This was our hope with this video!
We wanted to show how simple sourdough can be to start being most guides make it overly complicated.
Once you have the basics down it’s fun to experiment with additional steps or changes.
@ I just started a furlough from work so I told my husband this is the perfect time for me to figure this out that I can make it work with my work schedule. Now I have to make a starter. 😁 I am so excited!!!! Thank you again!!!
Nice job, I love sourdough bread. I think yours turned out great.
I made pizza crust and rolls once. They both came out good. I was surprised. I like your idea of making it softer by using the lid longer.❤
Looks delicious we all have our own way to do things that suits us. I'm thinking of doing a sourdough starter too buying bread in the supermarkets ain't cheap these days. Love watching your vlogs . Always a happy day watching them can't get enough of them. :)
Thanks Lori. I completed making my starter a week ago now and have since been trying out recipes. Tried this one of yours today and it's fab. I put mine in a small loaf tin and cooked it up in an instant pot. I don't have an oven. It turned out my best tasting loaf yet. I used white rye and wholemeal flours. Fabulous. I am also going to adopt your starter keeping method. Why faff eh? I will never win awards for the best "correct" looking loaf but I do not care. It's only my households opinion I need.
As long as you like it that is all that matters! I’m happy it worked out for you.
Can you post the recipe she showed on tablet I took a screenshot its to blurry to make out. Ty in advance.
250g water
150g starter

That’s a cool mixing bowl. Love it. One day I may do this.
You have beautiful neighbors that help you out with different things . I don’t make sour dough bread but I sure do love it & that’s a very nice loaf , great job. 👍
Looks great!
Very nice ..well done
That looks awesome Lori! I got some one time and killed it lol. I am wanting to try it again.
Been watching from the beginning, great channel!
Bread looks good, never made it ....😊😊😊😊
Sourdough evolution peaks when you start making NY Style Bagels. I eat my SD Bagels daily. Best is toasted sausage swiss cheese egg bagel. Bacon or sliced ham works too.
I love bagels and really hope to try making them in the future. I just need our house a little more put together before I task myself with a new project!
@@remotelifealaska Yeah, I get that. I've been making them for several years now. Still learning. 😁
Great Job Girl! Yum, where is the butter?
Great job Lori, you should do sourdough pancakes, so easy and takes like 5 mins to make, if you want a recipe let me know !!
We have tried pancakes before and for some reason we just don’t prefer the flavor. Waffles were great. I’ll give it a while and then we might try again.
@@remotelifealaska I add honey and cinnamon, for a nice flavor! anyways good job for trying sourdough in the first place ! whats your starter's name, they say to name him lol mine is Eddie!
We haven’t named the starter. We’ll have to think on that and see if we can come up with anything
Bread looks yummy 😊
Nice video enjoy your bread
Bread looked great!
Yours is the simplest way I've seen. Love it
Hello from Sydney, Australia. That bread looks really good. I believe that hollow sound means it’s light. I’m not much of a sourdough bread fan but that video was good. Makes you want to eat a slice with butter - yummy. I loved hearing Miss Rowan “talking” in the background, prompting mum. It won’t be long before she starts talking ❤. Have a good week. 🇦🇺 fan.
Thank You for sharing that with us!
Amazing, hostess!!!
I appreciate the way you explained the process. I've been watching a lot of videos lately and they use measuring cups with lines to go by, different ratios than you use, etc. Too complicated for me. I know I can follow your way. I'll be buying a starter and begin my own sourdough journey. Thank you, Lori!
I’m glad this helped you! I like to test the ‘rules’ and see just how necessary they all are. Most things can be simplified especially when you are just starting out.
Winter is a great time to work on new skills in the kitchen. The bread looks great!
Looks really good!
take it out of the freezer the night before then feed 😁i have had some in the freezer for a couple months now.
yummy
Will have to give that a try, looks good. Didn't know you came from WI. See your Rice Lake sweatshirt, we live in West Allis watching your adventure.
Cody and I both grew up in Rice Lake!
Looks good hope you do a video on the Herb bread the neigh makes. I will have to try this. I usually do the bread in the bread machine. but this looks easy enough. Thanks for sharing.
neighbor.
What kind of cookware is that. It's beautiful love the blue. Great job 👍
It is a cast iron Dutch oven. I believe this is a 6 quart - and I love the blue as well.
The footprints on the fridge.. 🥹❤
Delicious looking bread. 💖
❤❤❤❤❤❤👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You did a fantastic job. Looks delicious 😋
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👋
You must watch Ben Star. That's his 100% hydration, and he never feeds it, until he is running low
I have been feeling the same way about the sourdough 'wagon'. Really wanted to, but always felt like it would be a big commitment. I'm gonna do it this summer... thanks for the post! We have just subscribed and invite you to check out our journey too (we bought a 62 acre island on a lake in BC). Do you need to put the little clamps back on the lid each time you put it back in the fridge?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉😊
♥️🙏
👍☃️
I’ve never made sour dough this way before. I see you didn’t add any salt. Leaving the lid on isn’t going to change the crust only will keep it from browning. You can make all kinds of things with discard. You can also dehydrate your starter.your starter will last indefinitely you don’t need to feed it only when you want to use it. If you get a dark liquid on it it’s called the hooch. You can either stir it in or pour if off. The hooch will give it more of a sour taste. I think your oven needs to be hotter though
🇳🇴👍👍🥇
There are so many videos on YT showing how to do sourdough. You might want to watch some. The Dutch oven should be preheated with the oven. It should be hot before you put the bread in and if you put ice cubes between the parchment and Dutch oven then your sourdough will be softer. Also, you do need to score it with a blade before putting it in the oven. And finally you’re using too much flour buy separating out the sourdough like that. That might want to be watched if you’re watching your budget. Just trying to help. ❤ oh and if it doesn’t sit for over an hour after out of the oven then it could be gummy.
This is exactly why we created this video, and why we stayed away from sourdough so long. Everyone seems to make it overly complicated and daunting to start, but in reality you do not need to do any of your listed steps and can keep it very simple and still get great results.
@ as long as you enjoy it like that then that’s all that matters. I didn’t expect to get such a rude pushback when I was trying to be helpful
There was no rudeness. The video was showing how it doesn't have to be so complicated. Looks like it worked perfectly
It says in the title "Our simple method"
Maybe more people would try making it without all the extra steps like you suggested Christina🙃
