      How to use the sourdough? What is the famular?

  • @Tamramsy
    @Tamramsy 2 роки тому +1216

    Just a tip for new sourdough owners. The first 4-5 days of activity is called a "false start" where the bacteria you don't want is the dominant colony. After a while it dies off as the pH of the starter drops and the yeast fungus takes over making the starter usable. You really don't want to use the starter for bread before the 1 week mark.

    • @Tamramsy
      @Tamramsy 2 роки тому +90

      Also the float test is not 100% accurate. You'll get a positive result if there's enough bubble but the starter is not at its "peak." The peak being the time you want to actually use it. You can tell it's at the peak when the dome it gets from rising starts to flatten out.

      @thdoggo1 2 роки тому +65

      @@rosalina_gonzales2000 you didn’t ask me but on the chance OP didn’t see your comment or get a chance to respond: No, you can keep it in the fridge the entire time unless you plan to use it within the next 8-10 hours. The refrigeration just slows down the natural process, it doesn’t stop it. Why you only need to feed once a week in the fridge, as opposed to daily on the countertop once you have a colony of good bacteria and yeast. Take it out of fridge, feed it, and let it sit on counter until ready to use. If you aren’t ready to use it yet, just feed it and stick it back in fridge. Ideal temps (for me at least) to warm it up has been around 20c and it will double in size. For others who may need it: I used APF to start mine, but had better luck when I used APF in a 50/50 ratio with organic whole wheat, the whole wheat being the one that has a higher % of natural yeast that wasn’t processed out and really helped it take off. I used Great Value whole wheat. Also, if you have a shelf near a heater in your home that will work perfectly for getting it to temp. I have one about 4 feet above my wall heater that I can use. It’s the warmest spot in my house, and my starter always doubles in size within hours when it is kept there. Good luck darlin and have fun! I hope this helped! 🤗💖

      It's the other way around. People just used to make unrisen flatbreads. Then at some point somebody left it around long enough so there was some rise.
      So the question is who had the guts to eat it after the smell changed and it started bubbling?

    1) How much starter do you use when baking bread? Is there a ratio depending on how many cups/grams of flour you use?
    2) Should the starter be at room temperature when you're planning to use it?

I tried to make a starter a month ago, I fed it for a week and everything was fine, but then I had the same issue as you had, one day I didn't get the bubbles, not even the next day, I was really upset about it, and threw the starter away. But now I know exactly what to do!! Thank you so much Marrissa and Katie.

    I made a starter following your instructions yesterday at 5pm and today at 4pm there's already a lot of bubbles and the height of it increased double. So I fed it again and now after 4 hours the height increases again. But no bubbles. I guess Spain is so warm that the starter really enjoys it 😌 I'm afraid that it will grow out of my jar before tomorrow afternoon which is the time i tend to feed it.

    It is an old method that our grandparents used to knead bread in, and in Morocco we currently use it a lot because it is healthy and gives beneficial bacteria to the body especially for those who have stomach and irritable bowel problems. You should use the whole flour with distilled water or water from the mud suit and add with the flour some of the dates that will speed up the fermentation, if You want to use it for baking bread that is healthy, but requires a long time during the fermentation process, unlike chemical yeast.

    I never make any bread yet, but my grandmother( we are from Europe) did every week making rye bead. The starter that she was using was a piece of dough left inside an oak barrel after cleaning. That starter always stays inside the barrel, covered by flour in the attic till next time.

    The process from your video is going much better than another video I attempted that had much larger quantities and was just becoming a huge mess every time. I did have to tweak the measurements slightly otherwise the mixture was too thick but that could be due to altitude. Fingers crossed, we are on day five right now and looking good!

    So my question is at the end, when she says if you’re not going to be baking for a while, you can just feed your starter weekly, what steps does that include? Is that taking the two tbsp. Of starter and doing the whole process again on flour, water and the two tbsp.?
