Can we use all purpose flour? Like thats all i have and cant find bread flour online T.T . or wheat.

[@kristir289]

A. D.S. No idea

[@unnathichandra1799]

when I saw sourdough starter I thought it was inspired by Amazon Prime original Just add magic: Mystery City. The whole season revolves around the sourdough starter

[@nhiluu8735]

How to use the sourdough? What is the famular?

[@Tamramsy]

Just a tip for new sourdough owners. The first 4-5 days of activity is called a "false start" where the bacteria you don't want is the dominant colony. After a while it dies off as the pH of the starter drops and the yeast fungus takes over making the starter usable. You really don't want to use the starter for bread before the 1 week mark.

[@Tamramsy]

Also the float test is not 100% accurate. You'll get a positive result if there's enough bubble but the starter is not at its "peak." The peak being the time you want to actually use it. You can tell it's at the peak when the dome it gets from rising starts to flatten out.

[@oreides]

thanks that seems like really important info and i havent heard that in any of these starter videos yet damn

[@rosalina_gonzales2000]

Question : if i where to use the starter from the fridge and feed it after a week to keep it going …do we have to put it on room temp while feeding time ??

[@thdoggo1]

@@rosalina_gonzales2000 you didn’t ask me but on the chance OP didn’t see your comment or get a chance to respond: No, you can keep it in the fridge the entire time unless you plan to use it within the next 8-10 hours. The refrigeration just slows down the natural process, it doesn’t stop it. Why you only need to feed once a week in the fridge, as opposed to daily on the countertop once you have a colony of good bacteria and yeast. Take it out of fridge, feed it, and let it sit on counter until ready to use. If you aren’t ready to use it yet, just feed it and stick it back in fridge. Ideal temps (for me at least) to warm it up has been around 20c and it will double in size. For others who may need it: I used APF to start mine, but had better luck when I used APF in a 50/50 ratio with organic whole wheat, the whole wheat being the one that has a higher % of natural yeast that wasn’t processed out and really helped it take off. I used Great Value whole wheat. Also, if you have a shelf near a heater in your home that will work perfectly for getting it to temp. I have one about 4 feet above my wall heater that I can use. It’s the warmest spot in my house, and my starter always doubles in size within hours when it is kept there. Good luck darlin and have fun! I hope this helped! 🤗💖

[@recoil53]

It's the other way around. People just used to make unrisen flatbreads. Then at some point somebody left it around long enough so there was some rise. So the question is who had the guts to eat it after the smell changed and it started bubbling?

Rather than using just water, I started using the water from boiling potatoes, or from cooking pasta. Because it is high in starch, the very thing the yeast lives off of, by day two my starter was already taking off like crazy. Try it !!
