Love this comment - thanks so much for your encouragement!!

[@hellodollygurl4153]

Hi Joelle! I cannot believe I found your FABULOUS video on sourdough starter. After several unsuccessful attempts at making my own sourdough starter this video was exactly what I needed to see today. So, im not giving up thanks to you!! I will be buying rye flour tomorrow and start over again. I'll definitely keep you posted. Again, thank you so much! You've truly inspired me to keep going and I know I will succeed. Have a joyful day and God bless you and your beautiful family.🙏🏻🤍

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Yay! I’m so glad this was helpful for you. I hope using rye changes your sourdough game for the better! All the best!

[@cherylpresleigh6403]

First time viewer here. This video popped into my feed likely because I’ve been watching a lot of sourdough focused videos. Not one of them mentioned the rye flour as a way to get a starter going. I am definitely going to give it a try. I am not always good about keeping up with a starter and then am discouraged by the time it takes to develop a new one. I’m also very intrigued by your once a month sourdough baking plan! Anyway, thank you so much for sharing. I will be checking out your other videos as well as the recipes and books you mentioned today. AND might I add, your stove is amazing. ❤️

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Thank you!!! I hope you find a good system that works for you with sourdough. :)

[@tjo4893]

I've been searching for someone who uses only wheat berries to make sourdough. I have not tried it yet as I am intimidated by this process. Thank you for sharing. After seeing your video, I plan to try this in the summer once school is out and I have more time. Loving your videos! Love your gold Nutrimill Harvest. It's the same one that I have. 🙂

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

You’re welcome!! I hope you enjoy the process!! It’s so fun! Thanks for watching.

[@hnelson5609]

I've heard whole wheat is scratchy and doesn't allow for great rising in starter. Something about it cuts the gluten? Maybe research this.

[@NurseChrissy17]

I absolutely love your channel. I’ve made so many lifestyle changes based off of watching your videos. I’m not sure if you even get a chance to read your comments but I just wanted to tell you how inspiring your family is and we have some very healthy changes to our lifestyle based on your recipes and seeing how you guys live. We are trying to emulate this natural lifestyle as much as we can and you are just so inspiring to me ❤🎉

[@debimorsette1685]

Just found your channel so I’m going back and watching older videos. Your sourdough video was very interesting. I liked how you just used it once a month. So many channels use it daily which seems overwhelming to this 70 yo grandma. Thanks for sharing in a detailed manner. Debi in Vicksburg, MS. 🥰🤗

@FromScratchFarmstead thank you mama for allowing us into your home and thus thrusting yourself into the world of unsolicited opinions ❤️ YOU GUYS are so unbelievable!!!! ❤️

[@cindyward5133]

I have also found rye Tobe the easiest and most forgiving starter. I love no discarding. It is just my husband and I at home now. This sounds like a great way to get back into making sourdough after hurricane Laura 3 years ago sidetracked our lives❤

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Oh, so sorry you've been going through that! Hope you can get back to it! :)

[@SheenaHarper]

Great advice, master one item then add another!

[@VictoriaHeilman-mo3qb]

Love the mill! I would store wheat and then grind it .

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Thanks! That's definitely the way to go in our opinion!

[@hnelson5609]

Rye is the only grain to feed a starter! Goes ballistic, keeps starter well fed longer. I rarely see hooch when i feed and store starter in fridge in-between uses.

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Totally agree! 🙌

[@thedailygreensbynushien]

Absolutely love your videos and your thoughtful content!! I’m curious if you would put together a video about how to “homestead” in a city or in an apartment? Small ways for us city families to get involved in a more natural way of living ❤❤❤❤

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Hi! Thanks for the suggestion. I think we’ll have to create an updated video like that. We did create this one a year or two ago about this topic to give you some places to start! kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6DdppSnoruSeKcsi=fWETDmZRItaKph0u

[@farmgirl4958]

I’ve left my sourdough in the fridge for over a year and drain the hooch off and feed a few times and it’s good to go and I’ve never used rye flour.

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

[@reedamanda814]

Hi! New around here. Binging your vids. I havent ever tried to do a sourdough starter before, but not having to feed it every day for life sounds better for our lifestyle. :)

Yum! I have been making sourdough for a few months. Love the deep dish pizza idea!! We live in Tampa, FL, now, but I'm from Arlington Heights, IL! Thanks! 🙏🏼😄

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Oh, small world! Jim grew up in Mt. Prospect! We love this deep dish so much! :)

[@keissylorini9319]

Thank you for this simple routine video. I am hoping to start my sourdough bread journey soon and have always felt so intimidated to do so. Also, because we are a big family always feel like I have to make SO much of everything ( I am amazed 2 loaves of bread is enough for a month for your family....feeling like this routine would be good for us on a bi-weekly schedule once I get the hang of it).

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

You’re welcome! I completely understand the intimidation factor initially. It takes some figuring out and determining how much you need for your family and recipes you like. Definitely no one way to do it! Thanks for watching!

Blond Brownies! I grew up with a mom who spoiled us with those wonderful chocolate chip treats! Mom cooked and baked ... I was not interested - - well, guess what! I am FINALLY interested. LOL Life works out that way sometimes. It only took sixty years, but when one is beyond horses and cattle, cooking it is!

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Better late than never!! Blondies are the best!! Thanks for watching!

[@christineconley7903]

I've had the same success with my starter using regular all-purpose unbleached flour. I keep it in the refrigerator for months at a time before I use it again. I just stir in the hooch that's on the top and feed it and I'm back in business.

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Awesome! That's interesting - I always pour off the hooch.

[@hnelson5609]

You do know hooch is yeast poo, right? Or a nicer way to say byproduct of dying yeast.

I literally have that book on my car right now! Love Sandor but wish he would make it more user friendly. Have a feeling most people don’t move forward as more information overwhelms people.

[@michelemenard8364]

Thank you for sharing. I love your oven, what kind is it? ♥

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

You're welcome! It's an AGA!

[@GodsSparrowSpeaks]

Thank you for this video. My biggest concern had been waste if I go to sourdough starter. I love your Mill. I was hoping to choose a Komo or NutriMill for not just the wood exterior, but for the ceramic grind stones, but we just bought a WonderMill (which has steel and crushes versus grinds) to start milling due to lesser cost, but I hope eventually for a hand grinder from Lehman’s. It will be an investment. Thank you again for your epic explanations. Adorable children as well.💝💐 p.s. I forgot I wanted to make a comment about your Aga stove. I noticed that many who choose to live a more relaxing and wholesome lifestyle, choose the Aga. I would love if you had a video as to why you chose the Aga over one of the other stoves the Amish produce and that are sold thru places like Lehman’s Have a beautiful day! 🕊💐

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Thank you!! We've always gotten them from Janie's mill but I'm going to try them from Azure Standard next time we need to stock up - there's a definite cost savings there.

[@elizabeths4848]

Thank you for sharing your routine. So helpful. I really want to try the english muffins! I have a question though. How much time between the feedings when building up the starter?

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

We go between 4 and 12 hours depending on if we are feeding during the day or overnight but anywhere in that window should be fine!

[@deannemory1568]

thank you for the tips

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

You’re so welcome!

[@faithopeloveful]

What a great routine. I love sourdough and I find I digest it so much better as long as I don't eat it everyday.

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

It's so yummy! That's interesting about feeling better not eating it everyday but we feel exactly the same! Thanks for watching!

[@melaneeminer6022]

Do you have the blondie brownie recipe? I am getting the hang of sourdough and thought I might give your recipe a try. Please and thank you. 😊

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

For the cookie bars I did 1 cup sourdough starter 2 cups flour 1 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 1 cup butter 3/4 cup brown sugar 3/4 cup cane sugar 1 tsp vanilla 2 eggs 1/2 cup oats 1.5 cups choc chips Cream butter and sugars, then add eggs and vanilla. Add in dry ingredients. Then add oats and choc. chips. Spread into a greased 9x13 pan. Bake at 350 for 30 ish minutes It was more of an experiment but they turned out really yummy!

[@CharlieB_P2ST]

Wow! So, I ordered the book and rye flour from Amazon. How did those chocolate chip bars turn out? Recipe? Awesome video. I have a broken ankle, so I'll have time to really read the book...

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Oh no, so sorry about your ankle!! I hope you love the book!

[@larisaploeg7515]

Did you like the cookie bar recipe? If it turned out can you share? Also what wheat berries do you use for the deep dish pizza? And for your bread?

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Hi! We did like them! For bread and pizza crusts we do a 50/50 blend of Glenn (a hard spring wheat) and einkorn. For the cookie bars I did 1 cup sourdough starter 2 cups flour 1 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 1 cup butter 3/4 cup brown sugar 3/4 cup cane sugar 1 tsp vanilla 2 eggs 1/2 cup oats 1.5 cups choc chips Cream butter and sugars, then add eggs and vanilla.

[@sophierider9064]

Do you ever use white flour to make your sourdough? If so, what grain would you use?

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

We haven't used a white flour. Always a mixture of a hard red spring wheat with einkorn or sometimes spelt flour. Thanks for watching!

[@brittnicholeb]

This is so helpful, thank you!! I’ve been wanting to start sourdough but can’t commit to a daily routine with a toddler 😅 May I ask where you find your wheat and einkorn?

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

We've always gotten it from Janie's Mill because they are local to us. I'm thinking about trying it from Azure standard next time though, they do have better prices.

[@jasminegrosch7315]

When you say you feed your starter three times before using do you feed it three times all at the same time or throughout the day? Thank you for all the information! I'm looking forward to using my sourdough starter.

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Good question. Throughout the day. So if we start it on Friday night, we'll feed it that night then again on Saturday morning, and a third time after lunch on Saturday. It will be ready to use by Saturday evening. Hope that makes sense! Happy baking! :)

[@jasminegrosch7315]

That does make sense! Thank you:)

[@simplysmallwood6717]

How much fresh milled wheat would you use for the bread? Love your videos!

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

We typically end up using about 7 cups total, but I always like to have some extra on hand. Start with 4 in the bowl with the rest of the ingredients and mix in about a half cup at a time until you hit the right consistency. Thanks so much for watching!

Great video! i have a hand crank mill but now I want to get an electric one. I'm going to start freezing my bread now. What's the best way to thaw it or what do you do?

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Thanks you! We freeze it in slices and just pull out the slices as needed. They thaw quickly that way and perfect for making toast or sandwiches. We've never tried freezing a whole loaf.

[@shari7488]

Thank you!!! @@FromScratchFarmstead

[@hnelson5609]

​@@FromScratchFarmsteadI freeze whole loaves. Pull out, thaw, slice and refreeze. This allows me to bake less during hot summers. If you wrap it really well it lasts at least 3 months in freezer.

[@TheOnlyTitus]

Great video! We would love to start milling our own flour, but the grains seem quite expensive. Is there a good place to get them in bulk? Where do you guys get your whole grains?

[@susie6315]

When you say you pull it out of the refrigerator and feed it three times, does that mean you have to wait three days before you start using it?

[@FromScratchFarmstead]

Hi! Nope, we let it ferment for around 4-8 hours each time. So, I'll pull it out and feed it at night. The next morning I'll feed it a second time. At lunch time, I'll feed it a third time and then we are ready to use it that evening. For us it's usually about 24 hours from when we pull it out.
