Please ignore the complaints about you "peddling products." I understand that the sour house is not sponsoring this video, but we don't pay you for your content, and you deserve some compensation for your time, effort and knowledge. Even if you were being paid, I don't see a problem with "peddling products" if you really do stand behind them.
Thank you so much 😊 ~ Anja
Seriously if ppl are criticising you for ‘peddling products’ then they either need to get a hobby or a life. What harm is there in promoting something if you genuinely believe in it?? I find your videos refreshing & very informative & I have no problem at all if you do promote anything that you have come across & it’s helpful. Thank you for taking the time to create these lovely videos, personally I’m very grateful for your help.
Thank you Anja for the refresher. Sorry to hear someone felt it necessary to criticize you. You are a genuine person and I appreciate your insight.
Thank you so much!
I've found that when my starter is happy, she smells like wine. I absolutely LOVE your channel. I come back to your sourdough recipes again and again for reference.
Your comment really made my day! Thank you so much 💛!
This comment is so helpful. First timer here. Thanks for the extra input!
Please disregard the negative ones out there. We all know you are a woman of integrity and we all love your channel!
Thank you so much 😊 ~ Anja
I started my sourdough journey in January. I used the method that I saw in your videos. ❤ It! I don't discard and now making bread weekly.
Great to hear!!
I emailed you a picture of my 6-day-old sourdough starter and you said it looked ready, give it a try. I did and I just want you to know that the next morning it had risen nicely. Thank you for this video, your tips help a lot. I think I'll go get a loaf going 😊
Nice! I am so glad to hear that! Happy sourdoughing and baking 👩🍳 ~ Anja
I love your relaxed way of presentation. You have me thinking, “I can do this - it’s not complicated.”
Thank you so much for the encouragement ❤
Yes! Sourdough isn't complicated at all! Hope you'll watch some of my other videos for more encouragement 😍 ~ Anja
Agreed, she doesn't scare us away! ❤
Agree
I appreciate the help you are giving us for free. I don’t understand someone criticizing you. If you are advertising or selling something so what. You deserve some compensation for all the work you put in to this and to help us learn your technique. Thankyou so much for all I have learned from you. Please don’t let others hurt your feelings over their jealousy because you are doing well. Please keep on teaching us.❤
Thank you so much for your kind comment 💛 ~ Anja
When I listed to my starter, I just hear the ocean ;)
❤what a wonderful gadget. Good for you my dear. Don’t pay any attention to those negative nuts. You go girl. If you want to make money. Make money! Why not? I hope you make lots of money 💰.
Absolutely. Not every loaf is the same and that's the joy and fun of baking. Sourdough is the healthiest bread you can eat, so it's ok to figure it out as you go.! Tip: Cleaning up after is easier and faster if you clean up with cold water first. Then you can super clean with your soap and hot water.
That's right! Thank you for your clean-up tip and your nice comment 😊 ~ Anja
I don’t think my sourdough starter has ever looked like yours! Something to aspire towards. I appreciated this episode with extra close looks at a ripe sourdough, so we know what to look for. The word for pleasantly sour, might be “Tangy!” 😊
Too bad about the negative comments on the Goldie. I for one really appreciate knowing what kind of things you use in your kitchen and I have bought a kitchen scale and I’m planning on getting a dough whisk, the biscuit cutters, and some rye flour from some of your suggestions. I like to know what the experienced people are using! So thank you for your suggestions!
I am so glad you're enjoying my videos and equipment tips! They are really meant to just be helpful and people can decide what they would like to buy. Thank you for your nice comment 😊 ~ Anja
Yes, tangy!
@@wende.with.an.e Or tart! 😀
Love your videos and who cares if you are marketing a product you like. You should be able to share products you like and make a little money because you took the time to use and test the product not to mention the hours you take making videos to help others. Also really enjoyed your book reviews.
Thank you so much for your sweet comment 💛 ~ Anja
You can peddle a product you believe in. Im glad you found that as ive heard you say numerous times your kitchen is cool. Thankyou for all your recipes and help with sourdough. Ive added my starter to cookies and breads,everything has been delicious 😊
That sounds great! Thank you for sharing 😊 ~ Anja
First time here. I bought myself one for Christmas and LOOOVE IT. Works great
Great to hear!
Thank you for sharing! ❤
I love your videos. They are so helpful! I also love hearing about new “gadgets” because I am always interested in new ways of doing things. Thank you!!
You are so welcome!
Good morning Anna - excellent video, especially for beginners and those that may be struggling. I'd like to vouch the hollow bottom sound of the jar is more reliable than the float test For example if someone has 100% wholegrain rye starter, you can easily see all the bubbles and the rise in volume. Both indicate lots of air to rise bread. You're the only I learned that from AND I wish I learned your method to start a new sourdough starter.
Thank you sharing the haters comment so your viewers can give you a little dose of encouragement. Its clear you're not the person they tried to pin on you and you do share if sponsored. Sadly there's a lot of unhappy people (or bots?) that only feel better when attacking others.
Another solid video - well done 😊
Darn auto- correct - Anja. Didn't mean to misspell your name.
Aww ... thank you so much for your sweet comment! It means a lot to me! And I am so glad to hear you've got the sourdough down. Keep it up 😊 ~ Anja
@@lisarazzilier-lavoie5750 💛💛💛
Thanks so much for your video! It was so helpful🤍😊😊
Anja, this was so helpful! Thank you!
You're so welcome!
Your videos are so helpful. So sorry someone criticized you. It was undeserved.
Thank you so much 😊 ~ Anja
Thanks! I appreciate your product/gadget mentions. Often good tools make a job easier & more successful. Your starter warmer looks fantastic. Could have used that many times in the past 10 years, especially in my cooler winter-y months. But...using your suggestion of making a rye flour starter, I no longer have any problem in getting refrigerated starter more active & ready for baking. The rye even forms bubbles in the jar in the frige, by cold fermenting. I have a qt jar for fridge. & a 2 qt jar for on the counter to ad starter, rye flour & water to overnight on counter, with cloth lid. It's always ready the next morning. Wow! Game changer! Thanks!
You are so welcome! I'm so happy to hear this 😊 ~ Anja
Anya, usted es la mejor persona que ha explicado paso por paso como hacer el sourdought, olvide a las personas que solo piensan en molestar, enfoque su atención en quienes hemos aprendido con su método, me encanta como explica todo, la felicito me gusta su canal y, mucho siga adelante con mucho éxito
Thank you so much for your sweet comment 💛 ~ Anja
You are so good!! I love your videos.
Thank you so much!! Glad you liked them.
Love your videos Anja. Starting mine today.
Thank you so much. Have fun!
Thanks again👍🏻
You are so welcome 😊 ~ Anja
Thank you Anja... I'm trying make my sourdough starter that've learnt from your video.
Have fun!
Thanks!
Thank you so much!!! I so appreciate your support 💛 ~ Anja
Simpatica donna, Thank You.
Thank you so much 😊 ~ Anja
I love watching your channel and especially with anything about sourdough. I was interested in the Sour House the last time I saw you use it so this time I used your link and got one too. I’m sure it will just make my life a little easier. Thank you for showing it on your video.
Nice! I have been liking it more than I thought I would. Happy sourdoughing 😊 ~ Anja
I agree. If you can make money I wish you the best. I loved this video. I’ve seen that gadget before and I have thought about getting one.
I have to admit that I like it better than I thought I would ...
I was curious about the negative reviews so I looked at your Goldie review video. I only found one negative comment, by someone who mentioned a similar product (Sourdough Home) by Brod and Taylor. I'm glad I did, because the Brod and Taylor device supposedly maintains temperature by heating OR cooling as required. And the cooling is not done with a frozen hockey puck, but by the machine itself. To me, the Brod and Taylor device is clearly a superior product, and it's cheaper than the Goldie. No contest. But the critical comment also included these words: "A typical review by a youtuber who was supplied a product to keep or return. Don’t be fooled." That makes an assumption, as it turns out an incorrect one, and as such it is a lie, plain and simple. You politely set the record straight; good on you. You should consider reviewing the Sourdough Home, if you haven't already done so.
I started my starter 7 days ago with rye flour, water, a little apple cider, and 2 probiotic pills (I would have used homemade yogurt, but didn’t have any). It is now rising double after every feeding thanks to your videos! Thank you for such encouraging lessons!
Yay! That makes me so happy to hear!! Happy sourdoughing 😊 ~ Anja
You had me at the fact you don't find it critical or important for it to double! Your little gadget gave me a great idea, so thank you. My husband gave be a lovely large temperature adjustable yogurt maker for Christmas and the pint/quart jars will fit in it. I had not thought of this use before. Our house is around 68 this time of year. Love your videos!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I spent 26 months in Germany and there was one bakery that had the best bread. I thought the bread was a pumpernickel but now I wonder if it was a sourdough bread. The loaf was dense and heavy with small holes in it. The loaf was round and had the most pleasant aroma. Couldn’t get enough of it. Returning stateside I’ve never been able to find a bread that even remotely resembles that German bread.
That sounds great! Germany has a least 80 different types of bread so hard to tell which one it was. Keep looking at recipes and fotos until you find the one ~ Anja
Excellent informative video. I have been taking your advice and experimenting with successful delicious sourdough bread by adding yeast when baking until I get the right feel for my new starter. I preserve my starter in the frig as well as to not have to fiddle and feed everyday and that works great. You make the starter super thick and then sprinkle dry flour on top, secure the lid and you are good to go for a month or more before using again. Adding yeast when you are a beginner keeps you from wasting time and ingredients. I still get the wonderful taste and healthier benefit. Thank you OGH!
Sounds like you got it down! Good for you! Keep it up, happy sourdoughing and thank you so much for your nice comment 😊 ~ Anja
I just found your channel so thank you. You saved my day at 64 and retired. I’m trying to live off the land it’s going OK anyways I’m in no fuss no muss between gardening and sewing and everything else but I just wanted to apologize for people that make negative comments because that’s not right so thank you for sharing what you do share and please don’t get discouraged because there’s a lot of us that do appreciate it so thank you I would like to know your thoughts in cooking in a smaller oven like a little oyster oven Grace chefmen uoven
Thank you so much for your sweet comment 💛 ~ Anja
Some folks have NOTHING better to do with there INTITALED self but make noise! Thank you for helping us learn about how to master making starter! God bless.🎉😊
Thank you! I am so glad you're enjoying my videos 💛!
@@OurGabledHome Amen, yes I am! God bless.
I am a gadget girl! I had 3 episodes of mold in my new starter this year. Phoenix in the summer is too hot for anything. So I bought the plate for the cooling pad portion. No more mold! I could mature my starter at the right temps for a change. Love your channel!
That's awesome and I am glad you're loving it! Thank you so much for your sweet comment 💛 ~ Anja
Where can I purchase the gadget spoken here? My home is cool at night fall/winter. Thank you.
Omg people need a life. A lot of people not saying u do what that person all the time. A couple of days a go I stop watching some one was pushing thing on his utube way to much. I have never seen u doing this. U r a great teacher
Aww ... thank you so much for your kind comment 💛 ~ Anja
Yes, ditto, my thoughts exactly. What you did was share something that is helpful to making someone's life more healthy. So what if you profit off something. All the commercial bread company's don't mined doing tons of commercials and taking your money. I haven't ever seen any videos that you push products on people at all. Thanks for the video and the knowledge about the Goldie
If my starter is young, but active, how much other yeast could be added? Thank you for this. I look forward to more from you.
Thank you so much for your comment. Due to the overwhelming number of comments I get, I can no longer answer them all.

Thank you. My SD has been working for 3 weeks now. Some jars are bubbly, some are more smooth. I did the drop test… all fell to the bottom. The jars sound hollow when I tap the bottom. I’m a bit nervous about sampling the starter… lol. I made 2 jars with buttermilk and the other 4 from my niece’s starter and she makes fabulous bread. I think I’ll let my starter keep working for a few more weeks, per your instruction. I started with King Aurthur’s white, unbleached and moved to KA whole wheat. Recently, I fed them with Bob’s Red Mill Rye and some caraway seeds which helped bump up the action immensely. My question is: I’m not sure which flour to continue with.
Thank you, Anna. 💖
The float test is not the ultimate proof that your SD is ready and active ua-cam.com/video/rxOIM9YKNWw/v-deo.html You can use any flour you like for your starter, though!
Hi Anna, Thankyou so much for your video. I have not started mine yet. I need sourdough bread as I’m ‘Fodmap’ and don’t digest breads well. I didn’t realise it takes that long to make either in weeks? Love the Goldie but too expensive for me in Australia. And you are not pushy at all.
Aww ... thank you! And just know that I have successfully been making sourdough starters for some 40 years without a Goldie - so you can do it, too👍 ~ Anja
I checked the dome warmer. Would LOVE to have one. $$$. Too expensive for me. What is your thought about fermenting mats?
Honestly…. Don’t listen to critics. I can see why you love to use that unit. I treasure your videos!!! 💗💗💗
I don't have a fermenting mat but they sound fine to me as long as they work for you! Thank you so much for your sweet comment 😊 ~ Anja
Electric heating pad(at lower setting) with a cover will do the trick as well for the starter to grow when room temperature is lower in the coming days.
Great idea! Thank you for sharing!
I am on day 6 of my sourdough starter and I can't wait for it to be ready. Thank you for another great video :)
That's so awesome! Glad to hear you enjoyed this video and thank you so much for your nice comment 😊 ~ Anja
I love that little gadget! Where did you get it, please?
The link for the Goldie is in the description.
It's the Sourhouse Goldie. Be sure to use my 10% discount if you are interested: go.referralcandy.com/share/QJCGR6F Happy sourdoughing 😊 ~ Anja
If you use a rye freshly ground to start your starter, do you have to bake with the rye flour to make your sourdough bread or can you use your ancient flours
And I’m loving your work
Thank you so much! You might like to check out all my best articles on sourdough methods and how-tos: ourgabledhome.com/my-sourdough-recipes/sourdough-resources/😊 ~ Anja
I’m still trying to get my second try at starter to bubble and grow. We keep our house cool, we choose not to spend 129 on Goldie, not there although i think it’s cool and could be the solution for our cooler home. Waiting for a kombucha wrap hoping that will work
Yes, I am just showing the Goldie so that people can decide if it's for them or not. I never had anything like this in the 40-something years I have been making sourdough starters 🤷♀ ~ Anja
How did the wrap work? I've found the warmest spot in my kitchen us next to the refrigerator.
There's also another sourdough keeper by Brod&Taylor called Sourdough Home. I've been considering that and had never heard of Goldie. It has a broad temp range so I thought maybe I could use it for other things such as yogurt. From website: Degree-by-degree temperature control from 5-50°C (41-122°F) makes it possible to adjust the feeding schedule of your starter from hours to days, or even once a week. Just throwing this out there...I am in no way affiliated with the company.
Yes! Thank you so much for sharing the Brod&Taylor 👍 ~ Anja
mein Starter ist heute, am zweiten Tag!!! mit deiner Buttermilch Kümmelmethode bereits fertig. Ich bin Anfänger, aber er hat sich verdoppelt hat jede Menge Blasen, riecht super, schwimmt oben auf....jetzt bin ich verwirrt weil du ja gemeint hast dass er erst nach 6 Wochen so richtig Triebkraft hat. Soll ich ihn jetzt noch stehen lassen oder kann ich ihn schon verwenden? Vielen Dank, auch für deine tollen Videos. LG aus Österreich
Super! Du kannst evtl ein paar Krümel Hefe dazugeben für mehr Triebkraft. Viel Spaß beim ~ Anja
You mentioned 5 to 6 weeks for a good starter. So I’ve been doing mine for 9 days and it’s not even riseing yet, I can keep doing this feeding process till it’s strong enough?
Yes, that is what most people recommend ~ Anja
W sourdough lady
I'm noticing that I pull from my starter to make bread when I believe it's at peak rise (5 hrs), flat top, stopped rising but then it starts rising again after I pull from it. What gives?

Who ever had something to complain about... shame to them...I like if I can get someone's opinion on a product if I can...
Thank you!
Does it smell like yeast
After you have looked at your sourdough starter, you can also smell it. A ripe starter should have:
- a pleasantly sour smell
- tangy aroma
- no unpleasant odor
😊 ~ Anja
My gosh..I love this woman! Wonder if she wants to adopt a Sister..or maybe another sister 😂
Thank you so much for your sweet comment 💛 ~ Anja
I made a new starter this past Wednesday, I stirred it everyday & today it has 2 spots of mold. I dumped it out.
I have made it before & this didn’t happen. 🤔

@@OurGabledHome thank you. I will make a new starter soon. I didn’t have this problem last year. Thank you for all of your tips & especially sharing how not to have to discard. ☺️
My starter never rises, whatever I do 😢
