Easy Sourdough Starter Recipe | Make a Wild Yeast Starter at Home

Looking for an easy sourdough starter recipe? I'm showing you how to make a wile yeast starter at home that you can use in bread, pastries, buns, focaccia, donuts and more. If you can't find yeast or are looking for a more natural, easy to digest alternative the natural yeast in sourdough starter can be used in place of instant yeast in most yeast leavened baked goods. The best part is, it's easy to make at home. It only takes 5 days and about 2 minutes a day of work plus, all you need is regular all purpose flour and water.

Sourdough Starter Recipe/ Guide/ Schedule
Day 1
In a glass jar with loose fitting lid stir together 50 g water and 50 g flour until smooth. Cover loosely and set aside at room temperature for 24 hours.
Day 2
Stir in an additional 50 g water and 50 g flour to the starter. Cover loosely and set aside again for another 24 hours.
Day 3
Stir in an additional 50 g water and 50 g flour to the starter. Cover loosely and set aside again for another 24 hours.
Day 4
Stir in an additional 50 g water and 50 g flour to the starter. Cover loosely and set aside for 24 hours.
Day 5
Your starter should be ready to bake with. It should have doubled in size, smell sour and be filled with lots of bubbles. If it hasn’t, continue with the feedings for another day or two.
Maintain
To keep and maintain your starter all you have to do to maintain it is to mix the same amount in weight of starter, water and flour. So, for example I used 50 grams of starter (you can use or discard the remaining starter), 50 water and 50 flour but you can do 100 g of each or 75 grams or 382 grams of each, you get the point. Feed it every 24 hours if you’re keeping it at room temperature and every 4/5 days if you keep it in the fridge.

I am in the middle of this, day four is today. It isn't as bubbly as I would like it. It probably won't be ready tomorrow. Should I just keep going until it passes a float test? thank you!

[@russellzakai6798]

I guess Im randomly asking but does any of you know of a tool to log back into an instagram account? I somehow forgot my account password. I would love any assistance you can give me!

[@lestarytary7714]

Hi Chef... Can I just use normal drink water to use for starter?? But not filtered water. Boiled water as we drink boiled water.

[@manape2643]

Hi, I am curious; if you do not have a starter; can you just put Flour, Water, Salt in a bowl; and just let it naturally ferment for a couple of days or say; and then bake it. Will that work for an edible healthy sour dough bread; or do you need to have a starter? Thanks

[@lenthebusboy7723]

can you use volume instead of mass? i dont have a scale

[@chachichachi5526]

Oh my Lord thank you!! no math , no science, no waist , no history, chemistry 😂😂!!! Just straight to the point.

[@ParthPatel-fb6ul]

Finally a recipe for a starter that doesn't call for large amounts of flour and doesn't ask us to throw most of it away! Thank you SO MUCH!

[@deleyturner]

Literally been searching for a no discard recipe, can't wait to try it :)

[@richardlebreton6690]

or a mixture of fours

[@sunray9941]

@@deleyturner did it work for you? Did not for me. On 3 rd day it's good, but then its sits and moves no where.

[@deleyturner]

@@sunray9941 i ended up going with another recipe, but it was way too acidic and just leaf my bread tasting vile haha. I will try again with rye flour and see if it helps

[@notovercome]

@@sunray9941 Be sure to use unbleached flour. The same exact thing happened to me and I was told that's what went wrong 🙃

[@Lootoodle]

Your video is the absolute best for this. It’s not 10 minutes long and you give the relevant information in a clear way. Thank you so much.

[@Titanette]

Been watching all over KZbin about how to use starter but this one is the easiest and not complicated, thanks

[@CityCinderella]

Days 1 - 4: 50 g water & 50 g water for 24 hrs. Day 5: bake with some starter! Make sure to keep and maintain (50g starter/ 50 g water and 50g flour) and feed every 24 hours if at room temp!

[@qisyanafisahhusein734]

How much flour for 50g starter to make sourdough bread

[@ninaab8132]

Finally a recipe without the lengthy talking and videos. Wow I’ve watched videos trying to understand how to make a starter without all the other details that I don’t need, and finally this one I found. Thanks

[@Kezz2762]

Brilliant....I watched a zillion other videos on this but yours knocked them all outta the park.....easy, well explained & I love your dry sense of humour

[@mirian593]

The most helpful recipe of starter , super simple and easy to understand. I dont know why people complicate it so much, its not a rock science for goodness sake! Thank you for sharing xx

[@PlanktoniusRex]

Great vid. For those without a scale just use 2 parts flour to 1 part water VOLUME to feed. ie 2 tsp flour to one tsp water. This will be in the ballpark and will work fine. One thing to watch is having the starter too wet. This can cause yellow fluid to gather at the top each morning which indicates your starter is too hydrated.

[@lexierawlins8509]

THANK YOU

[@alicegonzales3531]

think of the consistency like pancakes

[@luckyradjapono1331]

Can i use plastic container for store it? Where should i store it?

[@carolynw5171]

50 grams = 1/4 cup water is 4 tbsp, 50 grams flour = 3/8 cup = 6 tbsp.

[@carolynw5171]

Hmmm... Sifting changes it! Oh flour, why are you so illusive?

I tried 2 previous recipes for a starter this month and now tried your recipe~wish I had tried your recipe first!!! It is easy and worked right away the first day! I even used some of the discard to put into one of the previous unsuccessful starters I tried and it even got that going like crazy! So I have healthy starter coming out of my ears lol.. thank you so much. This does not have to be hard! Used a good wheat flour and very pleased.

[@learntamilfrommarathiengli6676]

everyone is into fermented stuff at the moment i hope this is not just a trend but i love it. awesome explained thanks for the nice video

[@rickyfell6369]

Bread Dough has been fermented for centuries. Sourdough is just a thing nowadays.

[@JULOC05]

I appreciate that you give the weight in grams and straight to the point instructions. I had a starter for about 6 years but l got too busy and later I became sick too, so I neglected it and tossed it. I will begin with a new one today and I will set up reminders! I do have a question...How do you plan your baking projects efficiently and do you have tips for saving time? Working full-time, family, errands, doctors keep me away from home. I need to find a better method to remain consistent with my breads and dessert. Thank you!

[@lauraforconi9111]

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@naliniganguly649]

Starter making sounds so intimidating, however after watching your video it doesn’t seem so hard. The best part is you are not doing the discard method which I really love as it seems such a waste to discard pricey flour nowadays. Thank you so much for doing this.
