Excellent video! When I was a kid, we added sugar to our starter. It seems to get it very active & gives it a great scent and flavor. I wonder if you could comment on adding sugar to starter? I'm not seeing this on KZbin, but I recall it from childhood and added it to my current starter with great success.

I have a mature starter. I started with 1/4 cup organic unbleached flour, 1/4 cup water. When I discard, I discard half then add the same ratio of 1-1-1. I want to make your sourdough recipe for beginners but it calls for 25grams of mature starter. Do I not discard anything before I use the starter for bread? Id I discarded then I wouldn’t have the 25grams I needed. Also, is it okay I use all unbleached ap flour? Can I make rice flour from rice? I have white jasmine short grain and sushi white. Thank you

I apologize for focusing on the superficial, but I agree, she has a unique, beautiful style. Reminds me of Betty Boop's cuteness. At the same time, Bettie's appearance and presentation are extremely professional. As an English professor, I tend to be critical of a speaker's coherence--the organization, evidence, and explanation--of their talk. Bettie's presentation provides questions and then answers in a logical flow of the "starter" process. As a new sourdough baker, I am going to use ALL of this information to keep my starter healthy without worrying about my newbie efforts/results!

I just got my starter that I had kept un-fed in my fridge for about 4-5 months, I didn’t know if it was still alive but decided to try feeding, so I fed it every 24 hours in room temp at a 1-1-1 ratio and within 3-4 days it was rising to more than double it’s original height and peaking at around 3.5 hours after feeding. Day # 1 it didn’t rise at all Day # 2 it rose a little but just barely Day # 3 it rose about double, peaking at the 12 hour point And then day # 4 it rose over double in 3.5 hours. The reason you want to feed every 24 hours in the first days when reviving a VERY DORMANT/un-fed hungry starter is because the yeast bacteria need time to develop and build up again, if you feed too often you discard a lot of yeast bacteria that would have been beneficial to reviving your starter, I learned from experience. I hope this helps someone who wants to know if their starter is salvageable and how to build it very quickly from that state, 😊

Bettie, this was tremendous! As an autistic ADHD’er who is trying desperately to learn to use my sourdough starter, I have a stack of books and have watched countless videos trying to gain the courage to leap from feeding starter to actually baking with it. Providing the rationale behind the stages of growth as well as so many other details really helped my mind piece together and what was missing. Now if I can find a video that covers the step of how to get the bread dough started from the starter, I will be ready!
@theoneandonly11582 ай бұрын
Same autistic and ADHD. I'm already on day 9. I'm going to do the full 2 weeks because it smells like paint. It smelled like acetone but not anymore. I do suggest start with Rye. It has more "food" for the yeast. Smells are good because it tells you it's hungry plus it depends which acid is dominant. So I'm going till I see what happens. Regardless, it's a pretty cool science experiment. If I need starter and need it now, I'll just buy it from Whispering Willow Farm called Otis. 3 days with a 10 year old starter and I'm good to go. She has a lot of videos on how to use her starter. Like crackers of fuccachia. So what I'm doing now it's good practice.

I agree. My friend recently gave me "starter" and I was unsure how to proceed. I watched several videos and tried to follow the directions, but I was anxious that I killed it because I didn't have a scale to weigh the ratios.

Summary: 1) Ratios don't matter (not really) 2) fresh starter without yeast added, takes a week to develop 3) use 1:1 ratio (wheat+water) to get started (add warm water and leave starter to sit covered, but NOT SEALED at room temperature) 4) watch for rise in the jar, dome on top means, still rising and VERY active 5) feed 1:1 ratio wheat and water, but total weight of both can be equal to or half of the starter weight (being added to) MAKE SURE TO SKIM OF THE DOUGH ONLY AND DISCARD THE "HOOCH" THE LIQUID THAT IS MOSTLY ALCOHOL (also indicates a hungry starter) 6) after AT LEAST 5 days, starter may be ready for use, feed and watch for dome, just prior to max rise is good for mild tasting bread, flattened dome=strong flavor bread 7) feed the starter prior to baking (or for storage in the fridge)

Finally someone teaches us how flexible the process is. You are the best. If I decide to increase the amount of food I give to my starter midway, do I have to do this more than once over a few days? Or is it enough to do so only once and bake with the starter the next day? My starter is brand new, has been fed for about 8 days in room temperature, and ready to use. I’d like to do this to lower its level of acidity. It smells too acidic.

One thing I think I finally understand is that putting starter into a dough is actually feeding the starter again, but with basically a huge meal where the yeast is also sparsely distributed, therefore it just takes alot longer for the yeast to munch away at it and the process of rising is just slowed compared to starter maintenance alone. Anyway this video is great and sheds alot of light. I needed to know when to feed the dough, which is a big help to me.

Какое счастье, что я тебя нашла . Пересмотрела практически все ролики . Я в шоке от возможности получить ответы на все вопросы . Выбросила все 5 баночек которые кормила по разным методам и буду ориентироваться только на тебя. Огромное спасибо ❤

Thank you for explaining the cycle of starter. I now understand what the heck is going on with my starter and why I can’t get a good rise. I’ve read so many blogs and watched tutorials, all with differing methods but no one has actually explained the “why” behind the methods. I will be referring back to your videos many times now I’m sure. 😊
@lolajacomino65748 ай бұрын
Thank you first, and I just subscribed to your channel bc of the super clear way you explain. The only thing I see different is that other influencers explained that it’s important to use a water that’s free of chlorine. Thank you again ❤

I’m a beginner and this video was soooo good. Thank you so much. I’m yet to make my first loaf of sourdough, maybe later this week. I think I’ll watch a few more of your videos before I take the dive into my first loaf.

Thanks for all your explanation. I'm a person who needs to know the "why" behind it or I just do my own thing. I've had a starter and made 5ish loaves and tried a few other things and was getting frustrated by not understanding the "necessary" discard. I love speeding cuz while yes there is time involved, it's spread out and there are options and it's very forgiving. My first loaf I mashed up different recipes and techniques and let it ferment on counter for 5 hours and it turned out beautifully. And my ADHD self works very well with ok check on this, now leave it alone for a few hours, opposite, better stretch and fold, ok leave it alone. Somehow it just clicks with my brain. I've also collected my discards in a glass bowl and had started in a jar out and then fed that and used it up. Finally pulled out the last of the bowl discards and fed it for tomorrow. I like having the back up in case I forget. I've learned to shrink wrap my counter starter cuz I had some dry up with just a towel on it.

Dear Bettie 😍You not only just look like an angel, but sound like one, at least this is how I imagine it. And definitely your knowledge shared with us is like sent and delivered by an angel. I mean it ! I decided to try to live more healthier and make my own bread, with sourdough and had soooo many questions, even after seeing many many videos of other you tubers, but yours just went directly to my heart and enriched my knowledge and understanding. Thank you ❤

I absolutely love your sourdough series ! I have tried about 5 times to get a starter going and failed. I was feeling so discouraged and confused because everyone has a different opinion but yet no one is clear. After watching your videos I feel completely confident I can do this. You explain everything so well, you're concise and understandable and you go at the perfect pace. Your examples and time-lapse videos are great ! you've literally answered every question I ever had and took all the confusion out of the process. I'm excited for this time around and cant wait to bake my first loaf. Thank you for taking the time to make these , its beyond appreciated !

Curious, after watching, do you now know why your starter kept failing? So I dont do the same? Haha
@KleoKuchiki777Ай бұрын
@@bayleymacintosh5622 lol i wasn't using whole wheat flour at all, I completely misunderstood the ratios and was just eyeballing when discarding starter, I kept switching jars after every feed. I blame the instagram world, they post these videos but actually dont explain anything or why you need to do certain things. So far im on day 7 of my starter and its been doubling since day 2 ! so just waiting for it to get a little stronger and on to the bake ! Good Luck !

Long video, but a good amount of detail and explanation.. I'm brand new to baking and sourdough. Read that as mostly clueless. So many youtube channels, so many differing opinions and recommendations. It's maddening.

I just wanted to say i'm new to a lot of this and I've felt that I've "gotten the jist" of alot of the concepts, but video made a lot of things solidly click into place for me and remove a lot of the intimidation factor. In that sense, this is one of the most helpful videos i've seen on the subject so far. thank you much!

OMG!! I commented on your other video asking this very question on why to feed 1:3:3!! I have learnt so much from this video. My poor starter has been so hungry with a daily feed of 1:1:1. It peaks in 4 hours or so and then sits for 20 hours with no feed. Its not an old starter, maybe 2-3 months old. Poor Bertie (thats his name). Thank you for your excellent videos!!
