This is by far the most easy to understand, simple explanation/direction I’ve ever seen for sourdough.

Yay! Sourdough really is easy and sometimes it’s best NOT to overthink and complicate the process 😎

We have had the same starter in the fridge for over a year and we feed it once a week. It’s great anytime I wanna use it. Thanks guys.

[@erpung]

Great informative video for those wanting to start their sourdough journey. Mine is almost five years old. Use it for breads, pizza crusts, cakes, muffins, etc. Great flavor. The biggest take away is not to stress about it and keep it simple. Too many websites try to make it difficult. Which it isn’t. Thank you! ❤

[@jeanharper7529]

Thank you so much for showing us how to make our own starter! I love sourdough bread, but the store bought kind has so many ingredients in them. I have wanted to learn to make my own bread, but have always felt intimidated to make my own starter for it. Thank you so Julianne, for teaching this 52 year old how to keep it simple!

[@HeartwayFarms]

Aww 🥰 blessings! Thank you!!

[@1TsuNami]

Great video! I tried starting sourdough last year and failed every time. The step by step and what to expect and look for to know it’s good, was exactly what I needed. Thanks guys!

Thank you Josh and Julianne. I've wanted to make a sourdough starter for years and after reading all the different rules on how to make it "by the book" I would get discouraged and not try. I'm going to start mine today using your recipe and advice. Wish me luck! Praise Yah!♥

GLORY!!! Great success is ahead 👍

I would love to see a video of you making a loaf of the bread from the starter in the future that would be nice

Thank you so much for the reminder to keep it simple. I didn't know that I could let my sourdough go for longer periods of time in the fridge.

Great 👍

[@vintagegirl68]

I Love this, so easy to understand! I have watched about 10 videos on starting a starter, this one makes sense to me.

[@MrConestogaman]

I like the small start, add daily all part, instead of the 'discard by half daily' narrative most give. I'd still use the discard portion to make a flat bread (tortillas?) with. Great vid! Thanks!

Thank you for your support! I (Julianne) actually appreciate my father and mother helping me gain confidence and bring me peace in creating content. I am naturally an introvert and initially did not want to be part of creating any content. However, as I have grown and they have gently supported me, I have become more comfortable making the content that many enjoy. Hopefully this helps in clarifying any questions or concerns.

Supper easy! Thanks. I should be able to follow this. Thank

[@dhansonranch]

Good video you two! I usually feed mine just before I use it for bread to bulk it up and get it super active. 1 tsp of soda will help lessen the sour flavor if it is too strong. Julianne, with the discard I would suggest the sourdough fudge brownies and peanut butter cookies...so good. I have also added whole wheat to the sourdough starter and water for making the bread - I just did not use 100% whole wheat but rather about 60/40.

[@HeartwayFarms]

Thank you! Great info!!

[@anniemcelroy2812]

❤️❤️❤️

[@madmecyr]

Thanks for your easy care approach. I had someone try to teach me their strict by weight and regular feedings but I failed because I'm not cooking for a family any more. Sometimes I'd only want to use a starter once a month depending on the season, so I'm trying again.

[@conniegant7781]

[@jamiecole2144]

Cook with a KISS! - Keep It Simple Stupid! Well, this just makes sense. Especially since I've been fermenting other things for a couple of years now. This method is basically the same as any other ferment. Brain click! Or light bulb moment! Thank you, seriously thank you! I've been wanting to try sourdough for a while now but have kept busy with other things. I can remember my grandma dumping this and that into a bowl and mixing and kneading and suddenly we have bread out of the oven. I didn't inherit that ability. Making bread has been my nemesis for years! But I'm not giving up! Honestly, I really want sourdough to try everything but bread. Sneak extra goodness in on my family!

[@HeartwayFarms]

Hi Kathy! If the sourdough starts to build up on the sides of the jar, I'll either wash the jar or move the starter into a new jar. The bacteria and yeast in the sourdough starter will actually inhibit the growth of mold and bad bacteria.

Rye flour works much faster You can use after has fermented and can use as yeast White flour rye flour wheat flour and intermix If u want to change to white just keep feeding with white flour Best to cover your fermenting starter with cloth or plate otn bottle depending on what u are using to avoid bugs Also be sure to cover loosely You can start directly into vessel you want to keep in

So once I have a starter I’ll go on Pinterest or wherever and look for sour dough recipes. Instead of trying to decide how much starter I need to replace the yeast. I hope that answers your question!
