Very quiet easy soft spoken voice. No music easy to understand ....GREAT!!!!
Thank you.
I second that. The royalty free music people use is intolerable. I've unsubscribed because it's unwatchable.
I am a journeyman baker. This is the BEST instruction upon this subject I have viewed. Pastor Greg
Thank you. Also check out my website. thesourdoughjourney.com/faq-starter-creation/
What is a journeyman ?
@@thesourdoughjourney I love your sense of humor. Thanks for sharing your knowledge of SoDo starter....I always assumed it was more complicated and had to buy the live stuff like for yogurts. God Bless
@@thesourdoughjourney My question is, how would you know you get different yeasts from different flours...where do you see that difference in the "end product", the taste, etc. P.S., I'm from New England, Taxachussets to be exact, I'm telling now, Do Not buy anything from these demoncrat states unless you know exactly where, why, how.....everything is a lie...unless you get things from local, small farmers & businesses
@@thesourdoughjourney Your funny, what did you do, make 4 starters 4 days in a row? Because, I noticed when you checked your starter everyday, you had on the same shirt, the exact measuring cup on counter behind the book, and the blue cover to your flour mixture....just saying. It's cool, either way. Peace
Just got home from a trip to visit family in Columbus OH. I was watching this video with my daughter and chuckled when you did not want to be potentially disabused about the origins of the Cairnspring Mills flour as you wanted it to be from California. Well, hold on to your hat and get ready to be disabused. This wonderful flour hails from my state of Washington and from Skagit Valley which is only about 20 minutes from my home. I am ordering my supply for a strong started and will pick it up this Saturday at the mill. Also don’t worry about it not being ‘California Cool enuf’. It’s way more cool as it’s from the Pacific Northwest where we have Sasquatch, salmon and entry to the Inside Passage to Alaska and the gold-diggers.
Ooh. You are in the artisan bread basket. You will have great success. Good luck!
I'm also from Skagit County and buy 40# of Carinspring flour at a time! GO PNW!
@@sheilarogers2829 which “flavor” do you purchase? I saw that the Skagit Coop has Cairnspring flours plus others in their bulk sections.
Lol..I'm sitting here listening to him on the tablet and bigfoot on the tv I don't know who is scaring me the worst..lol
@Catherine Roberts - I bought sequioa
and glacier peak bread flour.
Love all of your videos. great detail but not boring. great sense of humor too!!
Thanks! 🙏
This is the best video on the subject that I have watched so far. I am making my first starter and was panicking until I found your rendition. Thanks.
Thanks. Good luck.
I feel the same way, was scared to do anything wrong, and he helped
I followed the instructions step-by-step and had no problems. Wonderful smelling sourdough starter. Worked great
That’s great! Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it.
I have killed my Sunday 8day starter,u used a starter recipe from another girl on ytube.. only mine bubbled over the jar last night,it won't stop.. and what I have to do next..{beginner I'm} she gives not the directly instructions, and my banneton kit has not arrived at me, and the rogge volkoren meel was ook op,dus heb ik gevoed met tarwebloem ,en discard and feed with speltmeel volkoren also.. 😆😬, I don't know that is killing.. I understand it directly, when your car is diesel fuel,you don't put gasoline ,or other fuel into it,because you have not the diesel by hand... I'm learning..
now I see your videos ,you explain it step by step,and talks very slow and easy to understanding for me from the Netherlands Europe .. {some talks to fast to loud and so nervous movie to follow ..,I skipped,makes the starter also crazy..😁.. now take 2. begin all new..and only listen to your channel,and follow the leader..thank you..😊
I have my grandmothers starter from 1910. She made bread 3 times a week. She died in 1970 and she taught me all of the ins and out of her bread! They grew wheat on the farm and I still have about 200 pounds of wheat left. I have 5 gallon buckets full of their wheat. Non GMO! I still grind my own wheat. This is a great video. I have never started a sd starter!
You are lucky!
That’s so crazy! Your starter is over 100 years old!!!!
@@nilu1121 it has been a journey constantly trying to use all that I keep breeding. I have freeze dried some and gave it as gifts at Christmas. I promised my grandmother I would keep it going. I had bits and their wives don’t make bread!
@@thesourdoughjourney I purchased the Tartine Bread book. Wow, I am so happy. Wonderful recipes in it for all kinds of bread. So glad you mentioned it!
@@karenleavitt7241 May I be added to your Christmas gift list? I've never tried making SD Starter but this video has encouraged me to do so.
You are so funny! I love your dry humor. Thank you for being so calm and explaining everything perfectly! I’ll go back to this video often I’m sure. Thank you so much! 😊
Thanks. Also check out this video. ua-cam.com/video/sFO532C3EAM/v-deo.html
I can't believe I've lived in Strongsville, for 58 years, and was not even aware that the Sourdough Baking Institute of Cleveland, Ohio was right in my backyard! SHOCKER! Loved the explanations and video. Good job, Tom.
Thanks!
Your videos are phenomenal. Really appreciate them. So many ppl give a tiny bit of info the lead you to "buy my ebook" just to learn how to make bread. You are quite literally helping ppl feed themselves and their children healthy bread, and encourging us that we can do it too! Allowing us something to be excited and proud. You are the professor we all needed in our youth. Im glad to be here. Thank you in all honestly thank you. I've done 2 weeks of searching for info like this, since I started my journey.
Thank you for the feedback. Also check out my website. Thesourdoughjourney.com
Hi Tom, I love your videos and I love your wit. I always learn something every time I watch your videos. Please don't stop making them cause we all love to learn and we all are struggling to "master" sourdough.
Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate it. I am working on a whole series of new videos coming out over the next few months. Thanks again!
I want to say one of THE best videos on Sauerteig and very well produced. So much knowledge and explanations. I also like the way you assure new "starters" no pun intended in this Bread making hobby, thank you.
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback.
Ok, Tom. Your very detailed guidelines won me over, so, I decided you’re the guy to walk me through this process… Day one is in the books! Wish me luck 😊
Thank you! Also check out my website for more info. thesourdoughjourney.com/faq-starter-creation/
Tom, thank you, this was THE best starter video ever!!!! Great work. 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you!
What a fantastic and detailed resource! Answered some questions I've had after working in two bakeries for over a decade. Thank you!
Thank you!
Watched your '50 Ways' video and realized I had committed multiple acts of startercide. So, armed with the confidence that video gave me (I had been doing fairly well after all) and the knowledge from this one my new little friend, Herbert the Impervious, is a healthy week old and will start earning his keep next weekend. Thank you for so much information delivered in such a digestable manner. I had pretty much given up.
Excellent. Thanks, and good luck.
Thank you for telling all this about sourdough starter. There are so many different recipes and videos on it, but I did not find one explaining it as clear as you do here!
Thank you!
Thank you so much. I love your systematic scientific and yet simple demonstration and explanation. Most other presenters have missing links and guess work which only confuses. I will highly recommend your videos.
Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate it. Also check out my new website at thesourdoughjourney.com
I loved the step by step. All of the suggestions and helpful comments. I took it all in. I'm looking forward to trying this and SHARING it!!!
Thank you!
This is the best video about Starter out there. So in detail explained, with science and technology behind it. Thank You!
Thank you!
Tom, Thank you very much for your detailed explanation! I am a very beginner and I have exactly the same book! So now, when you put numbers and made a video everything became so clear and simple! Great explanation, deep, intelligent and interesting understanding! Now I am really ready to start baking my own bread 🍞👍👏👏👏
Thank you! All of my videos follow the Tartine Country Bread recipe. The videos are a great companion resource to the book.
I've watched tons videos on this, yours is by far the most comprehensive. Thank you!
Thank you! Also check out my website at thesourdoughjourney.com
Amazing video! Very thorough! I now understand the importance of the type of flour and how different flours contain different strains. Probably why mine never turned out. Will try now with this great info. 🙏
Thank you. I'm glad you found it helpful. Yes, the vast majority of the initial yeast population comes from the bag of flour. Try different brands, or even blending a few different flours in the initial flour mix.
I learned so much as a begining sour dough bread maker. This was awesome!

This is an excellent sore of understanding the working of a sour dough starter! Thanks for taking the time to present it!
Thank you!
Your video is one of the best ones. This is my 4th time starting a starter. I am on day 5, after the 6 hours and no rise little bubbles but not thick. Yesterday put in on top of the fridge and nothing this morning. I know put in a wrap around heater set at 76 degrees. Anything else I can do, or just wait. I even bought King Arthur Bread Flour and Wheat Flour since my other ones were not King Arthur. Thank you

Just found your channel. I’m retired and a beginning baker. Love your presentation. Easy to follow and understand. Thanks.. looking forward to making bread.
Really is one of the best teaching UA-cam videos I’ve ever watched.
Thank you. Also check out my website. thesourdoughjourney.com
This was super enjoyable, and informative. I like how you take the time to explain the other things going on in that jar. I honestly hadn't heard that explained before. Kind of makes me feel like I will screw it up if I'm not able to get started with ideal ingredients and equipment, but at least I have it on good authority that you know what you're doing. :) Thank you~!
Thank you. More tips and tools here. thesourdoughjourney.com/faq-starter-creation/
Thanks so much for explaining this in easy to understand terms and with enough detail to make me feel more confident. I just started over on my starter today so I’m hoping to be successful with your guidance. Appreciate you.
Thanks. Good luck!
Complete. Excellent. The best video about the starter ever. Thanks!♥️🇫🇷
Thank you for the feedback. Also check out my website at thesourdoughjourney.com/faq-starter-creation/
Absolutely brilliant. For the first time I feel I understand how to create a starter. Thank you so much!!
Thanks for the feedback! Good luck.
I live your videos and I’m on day 7 of my starter and it has already been doubling in size for 2 days!! You’re a genius.
Thanks. 🙏
Thank you for this because you were actually way more informative and I learned so much more from you than I did watching some of the other videos that people have posted along with a professional chefs! I truly appreciate how detailed you are. Thank you so much looking forward to seeing more of your videos from Boston Massachusetts.
Thanks. Also check out my website. thesourdoughjourney.com
Thank you! You have helped me so much! I understand so much better how to make and feed a starter. I followed you and have a new starter in my pantry covered with a towel. I'll follow you to day 2 and on! Thank you! 🤗
Thank you. Good luck! Also check out my website for more info and FAQs. thesourdoughjourney.com/faq-starter-creation/
Loving your video. History, importance of this culture vs the yeast we buy, then the starter. Wonderful work. Thanks.

Thank you! Also check out my website for more info on this topic. thesourdoughjourney.com/faq-starter-creation/
Only a very organized mind with all the needed knowledge could make such a video. Quite simply the best info on this subject and all you need to know. I am addicted to your website also.
Thank you so much. I appreciate the feedback. I have some great new content coming out over the next few months. Stay tuned!
Hey Tom, watched your Art & Alchemy videos yesterday, they’re brilliant - thank you so much for them.
Thank you. I appreciate the feedback. That series is my best work to date.
Love that you talk about everything and you talk slowly, you don't rush us through the video. I've seen so many videos about sourdough starter but this one makes me feel relaxed . Thank you
Thank you!
Out of all the endless vidoes I've watched, yours is the best, simple, clear instructions and has given me the confidence I need to get started, thanks!

Terrific - I miss German bread so want to start baking my own - your video not only answered my questions it answered questions I didn't know I needed to ask THANKS!
Thanks ! Good luck. Lots of additional info here too. thesourdoughjourney.com/faq-starter-creation/
German bread is the best bread I've ever tasted.
This is amazing and so in-depth, thank you! I have been experimenting with different starters, and I've found that my 100% rye starter needs more warmth while my 100% whole wheat starter will double in a cool room in less than 4 hours (!) and even triple in a warmer environment. So I am transitioning that one to using 50% regular bread flour and 50% whole wheat in the hopes of slowing it down a little so I don't have to feed it quite so much when I'm not baking.
Thank you for the feedback. I prefer the 50/50 mix also. Good luck!
Outstanding video. There is SO much info out there on sourdough it can be overwhelming. You really broke it down and made it simple. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Best explanation ever of sourdough starter. Thank you!
Thank you!
They should play this video in schools so the kids have a skill they can use. Awesome video.
Thanks. My videos are not for everyone.
This helped me a lot! First video I have come across that explains the feedeing strategy in detail, and how to identify a "hungry" and "starving" starter. I always thought I had to feed it once a day from day one, but letting it wait for an extra day or to in the beginning makes sense, and so far my fresh starter looks a lot more promising than previous attempts. Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback. Good luck. More info here too. thesourdoughjourney.com/faq-starter-creation/
This is the best video I have search about sourdough starter. So educational and I learned a lot! I have started my sourdough starter a few years ago. Now my starter started to be moldy, so I decided to start all over. And I bumped into this video. Very impressive! I will follow your instructions for my new starter. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you. I appreciate the feedback. Also check out my website thesourdoughjourney.com
This is by far the BEST explanation video about sourdough starter. And I ve watched lots and lots of videos. Thank you so much for the very detailed well put video.
Thank you!
this is absolutely the best video on sourdough starters; very clear, concise and presented at a rate where the listener could
easily process the information. thank you!
Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate it.
This video is awesome & now I think I can live through creating a sourdough starter. Thank you for all your work to help us understand this frustrating endeavor. 👏👏
Thanks!
Yes, frustrating. MINE DID NOT TURN OUT! Bummer..!
Love how thoroughly you explained the science...very helpful!
Thank you!
This is the best video i watched for sourdough starter , thank u for your time that u gave for making such a very important video for beginner like me 🙏🏻
Thank you. Also check out my website for more details. thesourdoughjourney.com/faq-starter-creation/
so glad to see you back..hope all is going well
Thank you. All is well. I have some good, new topics lined up for the coming months.
I'm so happy to have found you!! This is my first sourdough journey and I feel like you have given me the tools I need to be successful! Practice and theory (the how and the why) is so very helpful. If I understand why i'm doing something then it improves my ability to be successful doing it. You have a gift! Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with us in a calm, practical manner. Now off to watch more of your videos
Thank you!
Thanks for the 'prequel'! I'm 3 days into creating my starter, and I want to learn Exactly what this business of starter-making is all about. I think I came to the right place. Thank You!
Thanks. Good luck! Also check out my website for lots more info.
Best Video on developing a sourdough starter I've ever seen. Thank you very much!
Thank you! Good luck.
I really enjoyed watching this video, just the right balance between pace of delivery of information, science, it has given me the confidence to give this a try. Thank you!
Thanks!

Thank you so much for this video. I've been following Chad's very vague instructions and felt like my starter wasn't quite right. I'm not getting a lot of bubbles and it's taking a long time to double in size after 10 days. After watching your video it's definitely off and I think I need to start over. After watching this video I feel like I actually know what I'm doing. Thank you!
Thank you and good luck! You probably don’t need to start over. If it is bubbling, it is alive. Just pick up the instructions for day 2 or 3 and go from there.
Great that you explain the science behind a starter.
Thanks!
Exquisite detail and explanation of the whole process, so very confidence-building for the beginner.
Thanks!
Excellent and informative lesson in making a starter. Thank you
Thank you.
I almost gave up, then I came across this video. After 3 sourdough starter fails, I finally have a Sourdough starter that is thriving! I am on day 16 and will be making my first Sourdough Bread next week and it will be from the Tarine book. I have watched several of your videos and I printed off your Tartine Country Loaf worksheet. Thank you so much for your hard work and in depth videos. I am hoping that it doesn't take me 6 loaves before I figure it out. Yes that is how many loaves it took for me to get a basic yeasted loaf of white bread. I'm a slower learner lol
Thank your. Check out my “Sourdough Brothers” video. That is a great one for beginners at Tartine.
I’m wondering how is your baking going? Do you get good results? I think it took be about a year until I started getting good results every time.
Tom, I was so overwhelmed with all the do and don’t of started. Watching your videos has given me hope, and I will only,listen to you and I also bought the book tartine Bread.
Thanks!
Thank you Tom! 3 pages of notes, laughing along the way and onward to a new starter. :)
Good luck. Let me know how it goes.

Best overall video!! Thank you so much for answering all questions of who, what, when, where, how, and why for new beginners like myself. After listening to many other videos I still felt lost. You make it so easy to understand. You’re a treasure.
Thank you!
I definitely buy off more than I could chew with this video. Wow, I was looking for a quick recipe, and I got the entire oral history and science behind a starter. I loved every minute.
Thank you. I've helped many beginners, and the recipe is the easy part. Good luck! Also check out my website for more info on this topic. thesourdoughjourney.com/
Deep breath seriously wanted to jump off a cliff listening to this.
You should see my longer videos. 😊
@@thesourdoughjourney hon not everyone wants a big long drawn out thing . Maybe some do. When I'm on a quest I'd like the info of the recipe that's it. Sorry if I was too harsh. Bkessings.
@@michellelippincott6097 You might like my website better. Short, and to the point. Much of the same content as the videos, but in FAQ format. thesourdoughjourney.com/encyclopedia/

Thank you. Good luck!
Hi there! I just want to thank you for this video. I tried, and failed, many times to make a starter. This video really help me so much and I'm so grateful. I live in South Africa and the weather now is still very hot. But even with that, I'm getting the hang of creating a starter with your help. I'm still in the beginning stage, but I will send you a photo of my 1st loaf. Thank you again.
Thank you for the feedback. Good luck!
After banging my head against the wall for last 2 weeks I gound your video. Best video and instruction by far. Very easy to understand. Well done. I feel very confident I will be able to successfully make a starter. Thank You!
Glad it helped!
Great video. I’ve been making pizza and bagel doughs for about three years. I just recently got interested in sourdough starter and I’m new to it. I want to try it in place of commercial yeast. For instance a “sourdough biga or poolish”.
My question is: when your starter developed strength and became hungry, you upped the feeding volume to 2 parts. What are the drawbacks to over feeding?
My first born starter is now 7 days old and it’s just starting to get an appetite.
Awesome video! I’ve been wanting to make a starter, and you explained this complex process in a very comprehensible manner!
Thanks. Lots of additional content here. thesourdoughjourney.com/faq-starter-creation/
Excellent information, now I'm able to understand how this works! Thanks very much!
Thanks!

Very clear and understandable. Thank you.
Thanks.
Thank you so much. I was about to give up and your details and the science education has truly helped me understand !!! This was very informative and humorous too😊
Thank you!
Hi Tom, Thank you very for this video. I have a better understanding of it now .. I was not confident & afraid but now willing & ready to get started with it .. THANKS HEAPS .. again
Thank you for the feedback. Good luck!
Awesome, didn't realise I was starving my starter. Very informative!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for this video! I had been trying and failing with my previous starters for about 2 months. I watched your video and followed it to the “T”. I took daily notes and just like you warned days 3-5, my starter went quiet. Here is where I usually gave up. But because of your in-depth instructions I persevered , kept feeding and discarding on schedule and on day five the starter begin to grow. Now, it has been a full two-weeks and my starter is “Growing” strong! I am trying to get the growth spurt to be within 4-5 hours of feeding. It usually takes 6-7 hours for this. I monitor and keep the temp around 81°-85°. I just want to make sure the starter will be strong enough to make a loaf rise. So far your methods haven’t failed me. I don’t make many comments on videos but I had to give you a shout out for this great video. Thanks again and have a blessed day!
Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate it. If you’ve been going for 2 weeks it’s time to bake. The 4-5 vs 6-7 hours is not a big difference in starter time. Every starter is unique. If it’s consistently rising after feeding, it’s time to try it out on a loaf! I recommend my Sourdough Brothers video, or my original 5-part series for beginners for the first loaf. Assuming you are following the Tartine method.
Would you mind sending me the link?
Oops…no need. I found it and will check it out.
You do a good job explaining the whole process. I learned a lot and see that your process is different than ours at BGBAH. But now I understand some of the confusion. I like your simple no nonsense approach, Ted.
Thanks.
The camping analogy made me chuckle out loud...cute AND helpful!
Thanks!
Very educational. So far I haven't made a successful starter but I'll keep trying in sha Allah.
Good luck. Also check out my new website for more info. thesourdoughjourney.com/faq-starter-creation/
Excellent video. I’ve always used bottled water in my starter and it’s done well. Tap water would be much more convenient though so I just looked on my water authority’s web site and it looks like they use simple chlorine. I may experiment with letting the tap water sit for a couple of days to see if that gets rid of enough chlorine so I can use it in my starter.
Household filters (e.g., Brita), and boiling will also remove chlorine. I’d give it a try.
🤣🤣love that camping analogy!!! Great video. I am new at this, so these instructions are so helpful.thank you for taking time and giving clear directions.
Thank you. I appreciate the feedback. Also check out my new website at thesourdoughjourney.com/faq-starter-creation/
Thank you! I believe I’ve finally found an explanation of how to care for a starter!
Thanks. Good luck!
my old starter was just smelling too toxic so I started new using your direction. It worked really well and now after 2 weeks I have a much stronger starter with all the different smell that you describe. My mother always tell me to not be afraid to start over. I keep my starter in side a styrofoam box with a seedling heating mat set to 76 degree. So no matter what temperature my house is, the temperature is constant for my starter. thank you for your videos can't wait to start making sourdough bread. cheers
I’m happy it worked out for you. Thanks for the feedback and good luck!
Great idea!!
Just found your channel while researching sourdough. I've been grinding my own wheat and spelt and making bread for many years. I have fermented veggies. But I'm just starting this sourdough journey. I live in the South now, but I grew up in Cleveland, so I just had to sub! BTW, great presentation! I will be watching it over and over.
Thank you! Also check out my new website at thesourdoughjourney.com
Just watch your video. Great. Living in Washington close to SKAGIT valley will order my flower from there. After that will start my journey. Will watch all your video time permitting. Merry Christmas and happy new year. Hans from MONROE. WA.

Brilliant video. This has really helped overcome my sourdough failures.
Thanks!
Great information Tom, no need for me to look at any other videos from other bakers.
The very detailed instructions are just what i needed. I've learned more from you in 30 minutes than I've learned in a month looking at others.
Thank you!
I like your dry humour
Thanks!
Excellent video! Very informative...Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.❤️
Thank you!
I tried four times to get a starter working. Thanks to this video, I finally succeeded. Love the info on your channel!
Thank you!
Super helpful - thanks so much! Got a bit worried days 6-10 - experimented a bit with extra feeds but ultimately now on day 14, doing 1:2:2 and I'm hoping tomorrow i can make my first loaf for 2021!! (Did a lot of sourdough baking in our first lockdown prior to giving birth in 2020 here in Melbourne!). Has helped a lot :)
Great. I’m happy it worked out for you. Thanks for the feedback!
From France, I thank you Tom from Cleveland Ohio for this wonderful and detailed video!! I especially love the campers analogy :)
