    So I packed up my car and left Brooklyn but had no room for any of my sourdough baking equipment... Oh yeah, I also left my sourdough starter back in the studio!

In this video I will show you how to make an active sourdough starter from scratch in just 1 week and give you all the skills necessary to make sourdough bread without any standard home baking equipment.

    I've noticed you have different processes in some different videos. In one you add the starter to water and dissolve it before the autolyse process, but in this one, and a few others, you autolyse and then add starter. Is one of these better than the other?
    Big fan of the videos, you really put it all together in a way that made it simple for me to understand, and got my first really nice sourdough loaf last week! Working on number 2 tonight.

    I'm currently on day 3 of making my sourdough starter and I'm so excited! What a fun project, I can't wait to make my own bread
    Edit for a tip: by the end of day 3, my starter had already more than doubled in size from that morning, but I think I was following the video too closely because I waited the full 24 hours to feed it like Mike did and then by the morning of day 4, it had deflated massively :( I think my started was a little bit ahead of MIke's so I should have fed it on day 3 at night. I don't know enough to know if this is a bad thing or okay, but I'll update this comment if I remember

    Wow, this was an excellent tutorial thankyou, now I'm clear as mud on the correct process! My starter just died too after a year and I was devastated and felt like I was the only one that happened to, happy to know I'm not alone. Now I have a way better picture of how the new starter should look as I was getting myself confused with all the different videos I watched. Thanks again.

      Don't be alarmed when on day 4 or so it smells like puke. It'll pass. Put the starter in a clean quart canning jar and continue. Changing the vessel it's in helps a ton. It's taking on good and bad bacteria. The good will finally over run the bad and it will smell heavenly from then on.

    Few things,When you are starting, you shouldn't close the lid when you make sourdough. Keep the air flowing, just use cheesecloth to cover the jar. Second, don't put it to fridge, keep your sourdough in about 25degrees Celsius (thats about 75-80F). After first week, you can close it and store it in fridge safely.
    And when you have excess sourdough you can make kvass :) or polish soup called żurek. Check it out!

      Why not just buy a starter from King Arthur flour? I've tried twice to make a sourdough starter and ended creating a monstrous bacteria that will eat anything and anything in any quantity and still be hungry. No matter how much I fed my own starter even at 3 times a day it still had an acetone smell. I bought one from KAF and it was already over 100 years old and fully grown.

    Idk how this worked for me: but I had a starter that I forgot to feed for a month. It sat in the fridge, and became kinda freaky looking. I scrapped out the funky stuff and there was remnants left on the sides, so I fed it with around a half cup of whole wheat flour and water. The next day I had a super active starter with a whole bunch of sour notes looking just as healthy as any of the ones you had in this video.

    • @jpeood32
      @jpeood32 4 роки тому

      Good job, way to go, I've done the same. Starter is very forgiving, I think that is maybe why some people sell their dried out starter? Although, maybe if you follow the directions for stater with the dried stuff, it will make on it's own anyway because of the natural yeasts in the flour and environment. I don't know this as fact, just a thought. I've had better results from sourdough than I have with dried commercial yeasts unless I bake everything in my dutch oven.

      Jonathan Zirkle something I didn’t notice at first though, is they are VERY strongly flavored, no matter what I did. I have since made another starter that seems to have a much milder flavor since I like/try to use starter in every recipe I have that requires a rise.
