Cultivate Your Own Wild Yeast Starter

Did you know that the commercial yeast found in stores is only a single strain of yeast, when countless varieties exist in your environment already? Why pay for that manufactured product? Instead, you can have a richer, more diverse culture when you harvest your own yeast from nature. Wild yeast is abundant, easy to cultivate, tasty, and healthy. It lends a terrific flavor to all your baked goods, and may even reduce food sensitivities in people who have trouble tolerating grains and wheat, since it's less refined, unprocessed and loaded with so many different varieties. You might have a friend with a wild yeast starter, in which case, ask for a scoop and begin feeding it! But if you want to start from scratch, Roe Sie, from the King's Roost, teaches you how to catch wild yeast in your own kitchen with a bit of flour and some water (or pineapple juice!) to start your own colony from scratch. It's easy and fun.

What’s scary is looking at how completely lost we are as a society when it comes to TRULY taking care of OURSELVES. Sure, folks work work work for usually ‘the man’ or heck even for themselves, put most of their time chasing the almighty dollar in hopes of stashing some away, but in doing that, we as a people have LOST the knowledge of how to and the will to want to LEARN how to do things like this here. Our society has become somewhat like a baby bird, all waiting for big corporate mama/dada birds to come drop off our needs for just about everything. Sure technology has had some good blessings to it, but in reality it’s kinda dumbed us down just like the masters that rule this world have done to us…Dumbed us down so badly, that many true and tested manors of operation, have been thrown to the wayside. Sad actually…. In some strange way, at times I feel like this whole pandemic was a prelim as to waking some people up, to the point that they realize the rug can and quite possibly will be ripped out from under our feet at any given moment. The more we feed ourselves with this type of vital information like this gentleman shared with us, the BETTER we are as a whole…. Peace to all, be safe out there

I discovered a good way to make my active starter really grow and become bubbly after a feeding. What I did is not feed my active starter for two days (48 hours), and then when I did feed it I gave it some good sprouted rye flour. The starter then tripled in height! Starving the starter for a couple of days made it real hungry and when I fed it it really grew. It never happened like that when I fed it every 24 hours. My starter is a couple of months old and I have tried a number of variations to get it to rise and bubble.

ULTRA pro tip; start with 1/2 cup of raisins in water/pineapple water. will only take two days, remove the raisins and add flour. Raisins contain more wild yeast than flour alone.

[@kf9058]

So what you are saying is add 1/2 cup raisins to water (how much water?) Let that sit for two days, then add the 2 TBS of flour to that? And cultivate your starter from there?

[@humblerepentpraygive5815]

@@kf9058 You can use 1 cup raisins 1 cup water. You could use apples and raisins or grapes as well. Then you use equal ratio for your starter. I use one cup flour, 1 cup fermented fruit liquid. It usually starts growing within 2 days. Proof your starter before you bake by putting a small amount of starter in water. If it floats it's ready to use.

[@carinrichardson]

@humble what ratios do you do after that for feedings? Can you please give a few more details? I'm a novice. Thank you

[@humblerepentpraygive5815]

@@carinrichardson I start the process with the above measurements, sometimes I use less, it all depends how much starter you need or want, it grows quickly. If you use a cup, sometimes you may need to let it ferment for a couple of days before the first feeding. You'll need to determine by the "bubbling" amount. small Bubbles tells you it has begun the process. Allow it to ferment without feeding it until it appears "foamy". It can take up to 3 days sometimes. Then when you have the desired foam or bubbles, not liquid, mind you, take 1/4 cup flour 1/4 cup water stir it in well. I never really go so much by measurement as I do texture. The flour should always be the larger measure making a pancake consistency. Do this daily until you have growth of the starter that is at least 1/2 of the original amount. I take out at least 1/2 of the starter when adding new flour at this point. I never discard any starter, I put it in a canning jar and save for breads, pancakes, or waffles. It will freeze as well if you store it in the fridge you'll only need to feed it once every couple of weeks after leaving it out to room temperature. . In the past I have spread it out on a parchment paper and dried it out. Then like dry yeast I use it by adding water but in this case add a small amount of flour to allow for rising. I sure hope this helps.

[@pavel9652]

@@demamar925 I think they are like 7g per sachet. The weight is high because of a large amount of water and four. Dried or fresh yeas are much more condensed (%). Wild yeasts are also slower than bakers yeast, so that is another reason why you might have to use more. For sourdough types of bread, it doesn't matter taste-wise. It will just take longer or shorter depending on the amount of starter, temperature and hydration of the dough.

[@ljweede9328]

I bought a brick of yeast over covid. Now I want to bake. I don't want to throw it away. Watching your video made me see that patience was what I needed to do. What did people do 100 years ago? They didn't throw away yeast. Thanks for the information.

I found that it was harder to get flour than to get bread. Still, I’ve made 4 loaves so far. 🍞🍞🍞🍞

Thank fo a great and simple video showing and explaining the process of starting the starter , how to store it and how to use the starter.

[@MiddleEastMilli]

What a handsome taste tester! And very smart! :)

[@buldusmihai]

Thanks a lot for the guide! Quick question tough: do you seal the lid once the yeast gets placed in the fridge, or leave it "open"?

My starter is named “Doughby”. Have kept it alive for over four years.

this is by far the easiest formula i have seen on youtube for making a starter welldone

[@cossie4]

hey, now made this!! thanks to your perfect to follow video!!👍can you do some bread recipes using your starter pretty please😊

[@wvt5825]

600 grams of water 800 grams of white flour or flour blend of choice 15 grams of salt 50 to 100 grams of starter. Knead well. Sit overnight. Reknead lightly, dusting with flour, proof for 5-6 hours then bake on 425° F.

[@Automedon2]

A friend, who has a bakery has been selling 50lb bags of all the flours he uses and one pound packages of yeast. He has sold 15,000 lbs to date and helped out his supplier as well as the people who needed those things.

[@wholeNwon]

@@Automedon2 Good. Last week local ShopRite had plenty of flour ($1.79/5 lb) and almost as much yeast as usual but limiting purchases to 12 pks. of instant/shopper. Not bad.

[@Automedon2]

@@wholeNwon That was last week. It wasn't the case 2 months ago

[@wholeNwon]

@@Automedon2 Time before that to the same store was 4/22. They had enough flour at the same price but less yeast. Bought 2 strips (6 pks) of Saf for $1.99 each. No limits on purchases though there was less than usual and only that one brand.

How do you know how much starter to use when making bread with it? Say the recipe calls for 1 1/2 tablespoons of dry yeast. How much starter would you use instead and would you also still need to add the water that the recipe called for (if it also called for dry yeast)? I've been intrigued about using a starter but never have tried. Have always made my bread from scratch using dry yeast.... Also being as it's winter now, is it still ok to leave the starter out on the counter, even if I tend to leave it rather chilly inside the house and just dress warmer instead of having high elec bills? Do you find the starter goes nasty in the summer time with the higher heat inside the house? Just wondering how the change in temps inside my house would affect my starter that is "brewing"...?

[@halfabee]

When I start baking sourdough bread I build my yeast up to require feeding 4 times a day. This is the very best site for sourdough recipes and techniques. www.theperfectloaf.com/

[@glacialimpala]

@@halfabee feeding yeast 4 times a day? Yikes, sounds more like a baby than food

[@alisonhendry2928]

Loving this!!!! I am doing it tomorrow! I have some starter in my fridge from last July from my buddy’s starter from Cleveland, Ohio, but will see what happens if I try it in Houston, I love this method. Doesn’t involve three cups of flour and too much tossing out. Who wants to toss anything right now. You can’t replace it! So happy I bought the twenty pound bag of flour...

[@italiantwat5136]

I'm watching this not to make bread but make beer, cheers 🍻 y'all.

[@erkanmahmut1305]

The only inportant question is: how much of that mixture of yours is equal to 1 package (10gr) yeast. So we can use it right amount when we bake something.

[@ann-marieblaney2552]

erkan mahmut I think he said to use half. I watched another too and they also used half. Good luck.

[@theninashow787]

erkan mahmut my point exactly nobody tells us what to do. There is no video of how to make bread with how much yeast you can use there is only one video about making French bread and I do not want to make French bread I just want to make a regular bread.

@@MM-jq5ib And you found a video made by some guy who unknowingly puts yeast in the title of a "sourdough starter" video. A little more searching literally would have led to Wikipedia and "sourdough'" and a better understanding of sourdough starter.
