I'm Zoë François and I love to bake. I take the mystery out of baking everything from cookies to wedding cakes! My cookbook, Zoë Bakes Cakes, is available wherever books are sold. You can also find my TV show, Zoë Bakes, on Magnolia Network, HBO Max, and discovery+.
This even got lampooned on South park. Whenever Americans discover something niche from Europe that has been aroundn for a long time and they never knew about it and then go over it the whole internet in tons of videos how to make it.
How does your starter look runny? I been doing 50g water and flour just like you but it's so stiff and not runny at all. Using organic rye flour only. Any guesses?
Won’t be the same as regular graham crackers… the whole wheat flour used is more coarsely ground than the traditional wheat flour, which is finely ground. You can buy the right flour and it makes a huge difference.
Hi Zoe! This is so helpful and clear! Thank you for this video ❤ I’m 3 days in to my starter and it’s very very sticky, even difficult to poor into another jar. It has plenty of bubbles and appears to be rising. Is it normal for it to be so sticky? Thanks!
I love this channel, thank you OP! I heard on the @sourdoughjourney channel that that second day rise you saw is due to bacteria, and not the good kind. It's normal for this to happen, the yeast will eventually take over and drive out the bad bacteria (he says after 14 feeding cycles). He also cautions against using the starter until it's a lot more mature than just the two days (due to the bacteria).
Newbie here and your video was a breath of fresh air. Thank you for the simple instructions! I’ve been wanting to try sourdough for years but always felt overwhelmed with the starter process. Thank you fir sharing your wisdom🥰♥️
Thank you for sharing your talents. I have a question for you. Have you tried using cold or frozen butter, but using a grater to grate the butter into the dry mix? I was told it works great, but I haven’t tried it yet. Thanks darling. I loved the whoopsie! I make them all the time.
You are so much fun to watch! I’ve been making rugelach for almost 40 years 😮 but haven’t used cream cheese in them so I’m definitely going to try these. I’m enjoying your book so much. Thank you 💖
