This is a guide a lot of people have been asking me to do for a while. I really hope you guys find this helpful. Everyone's always asked me what my secret was to such an amazing starter. Ironically, the process is actually really easy to do. Feel free to comment on here or DM me on Instagram with any questions you might have about making this! Also feel free to send me pics of your active sourdough starters. I love seeing you guys getting into this stuff!

Joshua Weissman hi Joshua,I love your video. It's very useful! I'm in the process of day 3, I can see some bubbles so I think is a good sign. However I have a question of the how to store the sourdough starter, as I can't keep feeding it forever 😂 . Can you make a video to cover for this as well? Thank so much!! Bless you.

PS Chiu Yes to all of this! I actually keep getting a lot of the same questions in the comments here so I've decided I'm going to put out a follow up to this video in the near future. I was originally going to post a chocolate babka video this week but I may veto that and actually put up the follow up sourdough starter video. With all of that said, the answer to your first question is yes. Once your starter is completely active (meaning it's rising and falling on a schedule and has been going for at least 7 days.) then you can store it in the refrigerator and feed it once a week.

Hello. This is me, a person who has without success tried to replicate german style sourdough bread. It had haunted my dreams and I could sometimes even smell it in the air, but I could never ever make it myself. Not to lack of trying. But I just failed so gloriously every time, for yearsss. But this time I didn't. This time I followed your recipe, step by step, for the starter and then for the bread and there it was.. a few months later it was in the air. The familiar smell of sourdough bread. And I want to thank you. From the bottom of my heart. I thank you for bringing this recipe into my kitchen. It is as I remember it, fresh from the bakery when I was a child, and even better. I thought it wasn't possible, but you made it possible, so thank you. Thank you soooo much.

Spike AMERCIA FUCK YEAH!! Sell anything even if it’ll kill you!!! But for real, bleaching flour kills all living bacteria to ensure the exact same rise for dough making! This way pizza places, bread shops, etc can get identical properties! It’s a totally horrible and unhealthy flour which causes people to have digestive properties. In America it’s common for people to say “they are gluten intolerant” when it’s really using extremely processed flour when does not even resemble natural ground flour anymore.

My mom actually keeps her starter in the fridge and feeds it once a week (she says the yeast is "asleep"), then when she wants to use it she will just take it out and start feeding it daily so it "wakes up" again. Works amazingly and we have great sourdough bread all the time. I'd recommend everyone who isn't that worried about super-quality starter or doesn't want to waste all that flower to do it that way too. Oh, and also, we tend to just add one spoonful of flour and one spoonful of water every day and it really makes no difference, the yeast still activates the same way. Works a charm without the exact measurements and we've never thrown the "mature" parts away.

@fussyrenovator7551 4 года назад

Megan RJ Wang That makes more sense to me. As if people have sourdough 150 years old and they have been fed religiously ever day. With war and sickness they must have missed weeks at times. Of course they just fed them and woke them up. Most of us don’t even look after ourselves that well. I agree with your mum.

Used this guide to make 2 sour dough starters back on 2/2/22. One was called Odo, a control following this recipe. The other was called Patricia, using a 50/50 mixture of bread flour & unbleached AP. Both survived the first week, Patricia made an excellent sandwich bread, but was noticeably more runny (runnier? English is weird). They have since combined into Patrodo & has been doing really well with a 1:1:1 starter, flour, & water ratio. Thanks so much for your informative videos Josh!

@stevethetree1991 4 года назад

To anyone for whom feeding this thing every day is a dealbreaker: YOU DON'T NEED TO FEED IT EVERY DAY. I keep mine in the fridge. If I'm not baking with it, I just pull it out every 7 days, feed it and put it straight back in (feeding every 7 days keeps it active enough to be ready to use any time). Also: YOU WON'T KILL IT IF YOU DON'T FEED IT EVERY 7 DAYS IN THE FRIDGE. I have forgotten about my starter for 2-3 months on end and it still survived. I just fed it up again and it came right back to life. If you think you will likely forget about it for long enough to kill it, spread out a very active portion of starter on parchment paper and put in front of a fan to dry it until brittle. Break it up into flakes and store in a small airtight container. If you kill your main starter, you can simply hydrate this one, feed it, and it will come back to life. Stores for 6 months to a year so date the container and make a new one of those every 9 months or so. It's foolproof. Edit: I have successfully revived the dried starter after 1 year. But a 5 year old dried starter could not be revived (found it in the back of a cupboard). 5 years is too long, it turns out.

@greeneyedcatwink 4 года назад

GREAT INFO! How do you get the starter to be more and more sour, like SFO sourdough?

@stevethetree1991 4 года назад

@@greeneyedcatwink That will depend largely on the way you make your dough, not just the starter. Fermenting at low temperatures (fridge) or high temperatures (28-32 degrees C), will both create a more complex/sour flavoured product. Also, a longer fermentation will do that as well. So in your recipe, you could reduce the amount of levain used so that fermentation takes longer. You can also do the bulk ferment in the high temperature range to develop that type of flavour, then do a long final proofing in the fridge to develop that type of flavour (different fermentation temperatures create different yeast/bacteria byproducts with slightly different flavours). The mildest flavours come when there is little production of byproducts (efficient fermentation) - which would typically be in the 21-28 degree C range. So, somewhat counterintuitively, you want an inefficient fermentation in order to create more flavour because efficient fermentation doesn't result in as much of those flavourful byproducts. I'm sure there are more variables but these are a good way to start experimenting. Good luck!

Just give it a few hours on top of the fridge to "digest" its meal and then slap it back in the fridge.

The approach in this video creates too much starter to begin with. See "Bake with Jack" video number 68 for a more intelligent, reasonable, and less wasteful approach to sourdough starter. Even if we were not in the midst of a pandemic, the process described in this video is wasteful. It generates an excess of starter which then somehow needs to be dealt with. If you are baking a dozen loaves of sourdough, this video may work for you. However, it’s better to not generate the excess to begin with. I strongly suggest you don't waste your time with this man's complicated, wasteful, discouraging process. See "Bake with Jack" video number 68 for a more intelligent, reasonable, and less wasteful approach to sourdough starter. Jack has other informative videos regarding sourdough starter and sourdough baking.

This recipe is wonderful! I just found a recipe online for pancakes with sourdough discard because I didn't like the idea of throwing it away and they turned out nicely so I'll experiment more with what you can do with it instead of throwing away. The bread is great, I love the smell and taste of it.

Protip: you can use basically any unblesched flour. Yes, rye is best, but it doesn’t matter that much in the long haul. Also, after the first 7-10 days you can keep it in the fridge and only feed it once a week or when youwant to bake something. It’ll be fine :) Source: i’ve been baking sourdough for a year

I can't get my starter to take. I follow the directions exactly and I even use the same flour (down to the brand!). Day one and two seem normal, the starter even seems to get a few bubbles and a sheen on the top. By day three it seems to start darkening in color, and by day four It starts to whisper to me. I woke up day 5 with a thick web of black starter covering my hallway and into the kitchen. I couldn't get through so I just threw some flour and water at it and went back to bed. Day 6 It woke me up suddenly. It told me it didn't like being called starter. Starter implied it had a beginning. I tried to start fresh but every time I walked towards the kitchen I woke up in my bed. Day 7. The sun never came up. Clocks all stopped at 10:13 this morning. I fed it. Feeding it makes me so tired. I don't remember falling asleep Day 8 The light is gone. In the void his voice is loudest. We understand us now. I feed myself to us.

This is it. This is the one. I went through at least 5 youtube guides, one of which was a masterclass, and a book. Always had lackluster starter. Maybe double the growth after feeding and not much activity during the baking process. Now I'm getting at least 3x rise and even after setting aside starter that overflowed, there's it rises like 2x more at least. My starter seems more lively than ever.

My grandmother used to make sourdough bread every week for the whole family for years. First she made the bread keeping a piece of dough separately in a bowl as a starter. She then left the piece of "starter" dough in a bowl covered with flour for a week, until it was time to make bread again. She then took the piece of "starter-dough", dusting off the excess flour and she rehydraded with some warm water (as you would with the packaged yeast) eaving it for a while to activate. She then made the bread keeping a new piece of "starter-dough" and so on.. This is a traditional way of making bread all over Greece, with various results as many as the women that made bread! Unfortunately by the time I was born my grandma had stopped making bread due to old age, but I always wondered how it would compare to the "everyday feeding" method. Unfortunately sourdough is my Holy Grail, and I am a new home baker with no time so.. I just wanted to share this knowledge in case someone thought it would be useful!

First time making a starter and my first time making sourdough bread, in fact, I'm a complete beginner in baking and this was an absolute success, thank you! It's colder weather here at the moment, but the starter was up and crazy active by the end of the 3rd day. I kept the feeds up on a 24-hour schedule using wholegrain and bread flour but had to change the ratio of flour to accommodate for an overly active strain which was creating potent-sour-smelling acid faster than I could feed it. Had huge success with my first loaf, once I was happy the sour acidity had leveled out on day 7. Thanks Joshua!

With sweet things, sourdough isn't quite the best. You can easily make yeast with yeast water from water, organic dried fruit and organic honey.

I started one 3 days ago and dude within the first 24 hours we had massive growth, and a ton of bubbles. And we actually forgot to feed it till today (the third day) and it's doing great. It's probably 2/3rd the size of the initial stage. Just did the first feeding and I have a feeling by day 7 we're gonna have a great little starter. Thank you, that was really easy.

Omg when I was younger (under age of 10 probably) (I’m saying “I” but my sisters did it too) I used to make “at home play doh” with flour and water (It obviously wasn’t actually like play doh but it was fun to play with) and I would put it in a jar to play with the next day and it would always grow like 3x and smell AWFUL the next day and now I have more of a knowledge on gluten/yeast etc and this video reminded me of that memory omg

hahahah. That's pretty funny. You were a little mad scientist and didn't even know it. I remember my cousin and me sneaking some of her mom's real sugar for our "mud cakes." Then of course we had to actually taste them. (We were deprived, raised by parents who didn't believe in letting their kids eat sweets.)
