    Finally someone who shows a good sourdough tutorial wich is very EASY to repeat! Bravo!
    So many tutorials on UA-cam about sourdough make it a VERY complicated thing with lots of "do" and "don't"!
    Dear viewer, don't be afraid to try to make your own sourdough starter! Eat real and healthy bread!
    It is NOT complicated and sooo much better then all these industrial "bread" imitations with lots of unnatural adds in it!
    Thank you Kitty for the humor, the energie, the big smile in your videos!

    In case you want to skip the vid and just get the starter recipe, here it is!
    1tbsp apple skin (grated)
    2tbsp bread flour
    2tbsp warm water
    Mix in a jar, pop lid ontop and leave for 4 days then feed with another 2tbsp water and 2tbsp flour. Use the next day or pop it in the fridge! Watch end of vid to listen to me babble about starter maintenance 😉💗

    Thank you for providing English pastries. They are delicious and appetizing, and it is clear that you love the profession of baking, even though it is a profession that requires a lot of patience and sacrifice. I, in turn, was a baker and know everything that this profession requires of hard work so that the customer can be patient in queuing until his turn comes.

      The reference to communist countries is very realistic and I find it quite funny today! A bit more than 35 years ago we really waited in loooong lines to get what we needed! (Eastern Germany before 1989) Was less funny at these times...

    I'm ten years your senior and you're definitely inspiring me to try to open my own bakery one day. I hope to learn how to make all those tasty treats one day!

    I was at the library recently and I checked out your book 'Breadsong' and oh my goodness! when I saw this video I was like "Oh wow! She has a UA-cam channel??" Immediate subscribe haha! I'm a sourdough beginner, so I've been getting into reading books and blogs about baking with sourdough. This has inspired me to keep going with my starter and not give up on it yet! Thank you for your cheery presence and passion with us!
