How to make a sourdough starter?

It worked, but on the second day, the glass cover sort of exploded. It's a good sign but I'd like to warn everyone to avoid capping off the glass. In order for the mix to grow, it liberates gases that need to be released. Maybe covering with plastic and make some holes is a safer option. Maybe it didn't happen to him because the temperature in his country is softer. I'm in Brazil. Very warm here this time of the year. 😂

Time to say «Thank You!»: I followed your videos and finally got the nerve to try. It's been 6 loaves so far, with each one better than the previous one. After 2 loaves, my sourdough starter started showing a preference for yeast over LAB, at which point I diluted the starter, and kept on feeding it, and within one day I was back in business making more loaves. The family now refuses any other bread, including sourdough breads bought from artisan bakeries, and my friends have been lining up with requests, all thanks to you! Your tutorials are breathtakingly clear. No recipe can replace understanding, and your tutorials really do educate! Thank you so much!

thank you, i started my starter on Saturday gave it a feed today and i have bubbles already, never in the past have i had such a quick reaction like this, i have always failed making a starter and seeing bubbles in it this evening made me happy, thank you

We make what is known as rewana bread, the method is identical accept we use the water from cooked potatoes. We mix this in the same way and refrigerate indefinitely when not in use. If it dies just add a small amount of flour and 1 tspn of sugar to invigorate quickly. Leave at room temperature till you see bubbles and has a glutinous texture. Because we always could rely on friends and family for a starter, I'd just toss the tired one away and ask my aunt. She berated me for wasting her time and told me how to bring it back to life. I've never gone backwards and have shared it with a lot of friends and family. I love these shows and I love making bread to raise funds for whatever comes around.

Thank you. Started my starter as soon as I watched this video. I'm new to sourdough and praying for success.

This is the BEST video about sour dough starter that I have ever seen! THANK YOU!!

I made it right away, followed the consistency you taught on my sad 3 day old starter, placed it in a bowl of warm water, now it looks contented I guess 😊... Thank you!!!

I very much enjoyed your videos and they have helped me begin my Sour Dough journey. Something I think you should add to your starter video "Water Quality" . I have made several attempts and roughly 8 1/2 pounds of flour of various varieties they all start OK but eventually die or go flat no activity. Today I succeeded hurray But thru exhausted trial and error I discovered that my municiptle water carries a high Chlorinate content. After a few feeding the chlorine killed the yeast but not all the bacteria as the starter still had the Sour Dough smell. So destilled some water and it did better but not vigorous, finally I got a water purifier (Brita) and vous la ( I don't know how to spell that but you get the idea). Last night my starter (Batch 11) blew the top off (not literally, but again you get the idea) I have not baked withit yet, I am going to give it a few mor feedings.I get why you do the "Testing" because being a sour dough baker you need to be part scientist. Thank You again wishing you success

I Like the Looks of your Bread !

Subscribed and would love baking videos! :)

Thanks!

i have just made the best loaf of bread i've ever made, thanks to you Gluten Morgan - irene

There are so many ideas about how to make starter that I think my head may explode ! Dont use metal spoons, or tap water , do not tightly seal the lid, discard or no discard, use buttermilk or yogurt / flour .. argh! I have carefully followed several different techniques with no success! Am wasting good product and my time . Almost ready to give up , yet will try your advice for one last attempt as I have watched your videos and realize how intelligent and relatable you are . Praying this time it will work . Thx

Thank you very much for the way you explain the method of the starter. There is a problem that I encountered is temperature and the type of flour. I just tried for the first time my started the first day had bubbles, the second day more bubbles but I didn’t put all the water because it was a little thin not thick, then the third day it had bubbles but didn’t grow and it was not thick either. In the fourth day I added up the flour and less water and it seems that are bubbles but is not growing yet. I might need to buy a digital thermometer to check . Temperature is important and I don’t want to get discourage and stop baking bread. If you can get me more tips about this will be great I am in California and the weather is crazy. Thank u for all you do to help us to bake clean sourdough bread without yeast and chemicals.

Bravo.

Very good😊👌

❤ lovely

What a fun video!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉😁😁😁😁😁❤️🥖❤️🥖❤️🥖

For yrs now I have used one of my old electric heater pads ( the kind for aches and pains ) which I cover with foil or any barrier in case the starter blows her mins lol….

Just subcribed and started my sour dough. This is day one. How often can you top up the sour dough mixture. Cant wait for the next video.

Great router 'hack' Mine is 25 degrees exactly! Works like a charm.... Great name btw ;)

Excellent Idea How to bake bread without oven? Thanks so much

Fajny film ja tez będę robił chleb bez drożdży

Would like to make it at home ❤

❤❤❤❤❤

I really enjoy watching your videos on sourdough but today, I have a problem with the volume of sourdough in the jar you are showing on day 5. On day 2, you fed the sourdough from the day before and the volume was very close to the top of the jar. On day five (when you said: see you in three days) the volume in your jar is quite the same as it was on day 2. Can you explain what you did, or what happened? Because to me, if you kept feeding the sourdough using the same jar every day like you seem to have done since you are showing the same jar on day 5 and kept doing the same feeding technique, the volume should be greater then what is shown.

Think you ❤❤❤

hi there, love your videos . i see the video you worked the jar day one & day two. then on day 5 it was ready to use. did you feedit on day 3 & day 4 also. thanks a lot E

Yes please do more videos and I subscribe too

Need 70-80 F to start starter to fermented

Thank you for your easy to follow recipe.

Thank you so much for your videos!! Love your beautiful kitchen, too! 😜 So, this has been my process on a daily basis…. Feed it. Let it get bubbly. Make bread. But I don’t feed it again until I’m ready to bake or make something again that next day. Is that correct? I leave it on the kitchen counter. Should I feed it again right after removing a portion of it?

That’s good and simple , but o should use it immediate and how I can maintain for long ? thanks

Thank you always for the tips. I have a question I have my started in the refrigerator when I want to bake bread How long do I remove my starter it out of the refrigerator ? Thank you

Thanks for this video! 😊Other sourdough bread makers feed their starter every day for 8 days, but you don't. 😊What is your reason for that?

Looking forward to learning how to make sourdough. I’ve subscribed! One thing I would like to finally learn is how to get dough (sourdough or otherwise) to be the right consistency. Every time i try to make bread it just ends up being too dense.

Hello!👋 How can İ avoid to get a "hard bread" ...when the final product is it take out from the oven? Thank you!🙏

I would love to know how to make the sourdough bread with your starter

After I have made the starter for the first time. Can I use it for the bread after 12 hours. Or I have to feed the starter for 7 days then use the starter to make the bread. Thx

How to make the bread please Very interesting starter

Hello! Here from vancamerawoman. Ready to learn. 😊

How do you keep the starter temp. even? Thanks ;0)

Buenos días Gluten Morgen! La expresión "by eye" (o, por ojo) no existe en inglés, se dice "you can eyeball it" o, "you can gestimate it" 😊

After day 2, did you not feed it for another three days and opened it on the 5th day?

I created sourdough starter all looked good, even a float test, created some dough with it, folded couple of times, shaped it and saw a very nice large bubbles, after which I put it in the fridge over night and it was raised even more, preheated oven at 250C put the bread in there in the dutch oven 20 + 20min and I got flat, I mean flat as floor tile flat, not a single bubble inside... Disappointed, all that work with starter and bread fermentation and all for nothing, I don't know what I did wrong because all looked perfect until baking time. This is so hard.

how much do u use to bake a bread?--is the more u use better, or just go by feeling it?

Thank you for the course. I have a question, where or how do you keep the starter afterwards? MUST I feed it 'every day' ?

So, you don’t do the discard silliness? Whew! I am traveling and would be cooking the bread by camp fire. Can you recommend a method of cooking it over an open fire? I’m thinking little foil wraps with enough room for the bread to expand and cook. Many of the American camping groups recommend inverting a metal colander and placing it on top of edge of the fire coals. That way it can expand as much as it wants. If you have any advice or want to do it as a video - so we can all learn - I would be grateful. Having fresh food is hard. But Sourdough keeps sinus issues down, gives the belly good flora and helps in feeling full. So, I’d rather do my own if possible. Also, could you look at the “ZAD” Bread out of Notre-dames-des-land /Nantes? It is made with acorns and bread flour. I would love to learn how to make this marvelous bread. It comes out massive like a large pillow bread, rather than a french loaf, but it is YUMMY and I felt wonderful eating it. While other breads make me feel sloth-like. If you need more information to contact the bakery, let me know.

Hi i am starting learn how to make Sourdough starter i have a question for you after day two do you discard and feed them right.

Can you cover the bottle with cloth or is a lid better?

Morgan when you say tap water, can we use other type because tap water here we don’t use to drink or cook. Then temperature is important like u say and here it changes very drastically so any tips please

Hi Sir. When is the bread recipe video coming out. Thanks

Hi sir could we use all purpose flour that only we have in our country.

This shouldn't intimidate anyone.

Hi Im Lily ...May I asking ?...To make starter, jar should be tightly close lid? Im living in Indonesia so the weather is hot sometimes is about 35-40 degree celcius .... and I take it on my room with AC ....but it was too long and no increasing to double or triple... less bubble too ... what should I do ? It would be pleasure for ur input mr .... thanks

Chef is this bottle enougf for starter to make 7 days or change for big bottle plese tell me🤟👍💖🇱🇰

If the tap water is chlorinated, this method might fail. It must be boiled for five minutes in an open pot to drive out the chlorine.

If we cannot control the temperature?

how much % of starter i put with flour quantity.?

Hi everyone. Once the starter has grown in size from the smaller jar can you just transfer to a larger one?

Yes, please make sourdough bread

Hi, how many starter to use for 600 gr flour for bread? I bake bred every 10 days, but never from starter ,just yeast.

question: being from the left coast of america, i know sourdough in relation to the "sourdoughs" of the various gold rushes. i now see sourdough everywhere on the interwebs. was sourdough always a thing in europe, or was there a resurgence when people figured out how good it is?

i have a question,..should be always be out of the fridge....months by months years by years,even in hot season?

How do you bake your sourdough?

מה כמות מאמצת אשתמש ל- קילו קמח?

Can you keep your starter in a jar with a metal lid?

Yes send us the receipy

Yesterday I fed my starter, this morning went to use it, the gasses from the starter had literally blown out a piece of the glass jar containing the starter. I wish I could include a photo.
