I started my sourdough starter this afternoon when I got home. You said after the first 24 hours, u don’t have to pour it into a discard jar? So I could just leave it all in the jar I’m working with? I’m confused.

Thank you so much for such clear directions! I’ve been wanting to make a sourdough starter, but everything I’ve found is overwhelming. I’ll try now and I’m confident thanks to you.

Thank you for this video. Very helpful info!! I am starting my garden soon, so I really appreciate this content!!

Finally! I’ve been trying to make a strong starter for several weeks. My starter looks great after following your video. Thanks!

You don't let them sit out for a couple of days to harden?

I’ve never had much luck growing flowers, I live in a sub-tropical climate I think a lot of them struggle here or maybe it’s just me… I can’t wait to see yours take off 💐

I planted strawflowers too! This is my first year with those so I'm excited about them.

I need this! Need to get out and do our raspberries.

Perfect golden color! And I love raspberry syrup.

Yum!! I will be making these up as I have a lot of discard to use.

This recipe and instructions are so easy to follow. I was able get mine started and have made several loaves of bread, pancakes, and banana bread. Thank you for sharing and all your help.

Yummmmmm I want some now! ❤

Thanks for the reminder that I need to get out and my raspberries pruned.

Thank you for this video, I just ordered a seed blocker and have not used it yet. Now I know what to do. Thanks again. Bless you, have a nice day 👍🏽🙏🏽❤️☺️

Thank you so much, this was wonderful! You are amazing to manage a family of 7 and all that land, pruning, etc..wow!

Thank you for sharing sourdough recipes! I have a bunch of discard to use up. Yum!

I just planted asparagus and a raspberry bush. Helpful video!

So excited for your growing season!

Bleached or unbleached flour? Does it make a difference?

Very informative video; thank you! I am in zone 6B, and my fall raspberries have already started putting on leaves. Is it too late for me to prune them to the ground?

excellent resource for pruning tips and tricks! Thanks for sharing!

I guess I need to try it again, but I made a different variation, and it was thick like crisco and never broke down well. I was afraid it was clogging my washer. 😮

❤ your videos! Where do you source your vanilla beans?

I just found you and I think will make a good sour dough. I have some and it doesn't seem to raise. Just tiny bubbles. What do you do with all the discard. I worry not to let this go down my sink and pipes will get like concrete. I saw from another lady telling us this. Thank you.

I just want to thank you for this video and your recipe. I have never made sourdough, and yours is the only recipe I've tried that's actually working! I'm on day 6 and it's risen to the top of the jar and run over. I did feed it again for good measure, but I assume it's probably ready to go. It's full of bubbles and it's stringy when I tap the jar on the counter, but it's not quite as thick as yours - almost. Should I try to thicken it with more flour or just use it as is? I wish there was a way to show you a photo so you could tell me - but I am just so thankful to you!

I will NEVER grow tired of seeing new life being born! If you have any dairy animals i would love to take a in person cheese class! Congratulations and blessings! ❤

Is it because you have a disdain for digital scales? A good one is $25. Every decent recipe available for sourdough bread is 9 times out of 10 given in grams. The beginner would do best with easy to follow ratios. Also, I never keep more than 70 grams of starter on hand and I never run out. You would be doing yourself a favor by purchasing a silicone spatula. You know your starter is ready when it passes the float test. Saving discard earlier than 5 days is pointless and generally not recommended. Save it after 5 days.

I need to do this!

Will you be putting up some recipes with your starter?

You make it look so easy!

When do you seed start brassicas and then transplant? SW NE here. Thanks!

Such a simple but thorough explanation. I love to actually SEE how things are done and this was so helpful! Thank you for sharing! Through your help, I am growing my first trays of micro greens and will be sharing my experience on my channel soon! Thank you!

This is so helpful! I was just thinking the other day how I'd like to learn how to grow microgreens! Now I just need to buy the supplies🙌🏻

This is a great plan! We need to jump on this. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much for this video instructions! I had felt overwhelmed on how to get started with all of this but I think I’m going to try after watching your video again thank you so much!

This was a very thorough explanation of how to grow these micro-greens. I’m thinking once my garden seeds are out from under my grow lights I’ll move on these. They sure are pretty. I know the chickens would love them too.

I cant believe itbwas that easy. I almost feel foolishnfot spending all of the money I have on laundry soap . Thank you I will be doing this within the next week. 😊

not sure i understand what the dis guard is and what it does? but the info on the starter was very helpful thanks

Been looking for a starter recipe just found yours thanks 😊

I usually mix my starter in a bowl with a spoon or fork and then put it in the jar. Is that a problem doing that? Should I be mixing it in the jar right from the start? Seems like all the working in the jars and switching jars, and using wood utensils that stick to the starter is just wasting starter. I never see anybody using metal utensils or rubber spatulas but I totally do. Do you recommend against that? Also I thought this was going to be simple and then all the sudden I'm seeing you have three jars here. Sorry, I need more explanation of what is actually happening. What jar is for what and why are we feeding it and moving it around??? Oh my God now we have four jars. Are you using whole wheat on all of them??? and what are the strings for? How warm does the water need to be because it can't be too hot... Now I'm seeing five jars? I'm out. There are a ton of videos out there where you only have to work with it a day or so and then you can start baking with it. You haven't touched on what to do with the discard and what I'm also supposed to be expecting with the rise. Is it supposed to double overnight? I'm sorry my questions are all over the place but I'm asking questions while I'm watching. But it sort of matches how the video is all over the place. You are on day four and you're not making bread?? I've heard from everybody else that when your starter has doubled you can go ahead and make bread. Now you're on day 6 and it's finally stringy and now we can make bread! Seems like it has flattened and I guess I don't understand because I didn't think you made bread with fallen starter. And you did say this was easy in the title! It does look like you have touched this starter 12 times now, right? In the fridge out the fridge add or not depending on this or depending on that? No explanation as to what you meant by switching the size of the jar because it's best for your family. It does seem like you're having to touch it all the time so to me that is being a prisoner to the starter and how it's doing all the time. I guess I really don't have a question. I wouldn't understand the answer anyway, clearly. I'm glad you got your system down and you understand it and I hope everyone else does, too.

♥♥♥

Love this recipe! Still use it to this day, which you shared with me several years ago. Save lots of $$ on laundry soap.

Hello also from Nebraska

After using my gifted sourdough starter for several months--I killed it. So starting over, thanks for your tutorial. Do you use your discard started for biscuits or pancakes?

Thank you for the clear instructions. I had a completely different recipe and bombed out! I'm starting again with your recipe!

I just found your channel and I am super impressed with your hard work to build your pantry. I have canned most of my life, started with helping my mom put up food for our family of 6. Now I am a grandma of 6. We recently moved to Nebraska and put in our garden before we even moved in. You must live in the NW corner of the state? We are east central and in zone 5b which is strange to me because where we moved from was further north and we were 6b. I am so happy I found your channel and will continue checking in.

Will you share how you can in 1/2 gal jars …… I have never heard of that process before. Your pantry is fantastic.

Fabulous pantry. Good job. We just finished a 60 day pantry challenge as well, and we did very well. We used up a lot of meat from our freezer and put a small dent in the canned section of our pantry, although it isn't as big as yours, but I do have a lot of broth. I love to can, and we love to eat it. We still do a bit of shopping but not a much as before. We eat what we have. I am going to have to start buying spices in bulk, that's a great idea. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day 🙏🏽👍🏽💖☺️
