How to make a Sourdough Starter - 3 easy ways

Today we see how easy it is to prepare the WILD YEAST STARTER at home. Since it is made in different ways, in this video I will use 3 ingredients: HONEY, YOGURT and RAISINS.
Some use apple or other fruit, if you have any advice about it, do not hesitate to write them in the comments for the benefit of all.

It works! i made the honey version, didn't rise as yours, but there were signs of life in there. I gave it one more day to rise (3rd day), then fed it and on the 4th day I baked a bread. It has holes, smells good and it is still fresh a couple of days later. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe with us. Just a hint for other people struggling- when feeding it I gave it a bit of yeast water instead of plain tap water (which is chlorinated, by the way)... and the sourdough tripled its volume in a few hours. Now it rests in the fridge, as it grows too fast for my baking routine. ;)

Just found your channel. This was a very interesting video. For years I've asked people "what if something happens and you have to bake your own bread, but run out of yeast?" I was considered to be eccentric. Well I know a number of ways to make my own yeast and others are only now wanting to know what to do. I'm always looking for the best way to make a starter. People have run out of yeast and learning different ways to make our own is so important. This pandemic has shown that sourdough breads are not just a fad. Thanks for an informative video. I'll be sharing with those asking me how they can make a starter. I'm going to try the honey one. I've tried the raisin one before but havent tried the honey one yet. Subscribed. Prayers for all in Italy. 💕

If you run out of yeast, just use a can of beer for both yeast and liquid.

I found this video much easier to understand than most. I am 'rationing' my flour, so yesterday I started with very small amounts (used the honey method) and left it on the mantle for 24 hours. I didn't want to use a lot of flour, in case it didn't work. Today, it smells good, and the plastic shows a slight lift in it, which I take it means there is some activity, so I added 2 tbsps of flour, and one of warm water. Fingers crossed :) . Thanks for the video, and stay well.

Thankyou so much for this tutorial. Has turned into one of my coronavirus projects while in isolation. I made my starter using raisins like you. Though used wholewheat flour which requires 70ml water as absorbs so much more water for starter. Then the rest using strong white bread flour. Have had to source flour from local mills as its all out in supermarkets. Also I decided to use a panasonic breadmaker for the dough preparation which kneads this all up great (for anyone interested I just used the basic dough setting). Otherwise followed your tutorial and as a novice I am knocking out bread that is being eaten by my all the members of my household (4-46). I've even taught my Mum how to make this since I am unable to visit her right now to give her a loaf. One thing I did find was I needed to add an extra couple of days of feeding after the first 48hrs before cooking. And i've found the starter is getting stronger and stronger after several loaves. I did leave raisins in water for 30mins before removing (all except the one I whacked under the first round of creating sourdough starter)... they didn't colour the water like yours but they still seem to have done the trick. Also have found keeping starter in my airing cupboard works wonders as well as warming up sourdough from fridge before using. Anyway.. thankyou so much!! I'll be repeating this over and over till I drop! The bread is AMAZING. My wife voted it her favourite ever and even my teenage son is shocked how good it is. High praises indeed! Though now I want to experiment with making it more of brown sourdough (will it end up too heavy?) but your standard white (okay 1/4 wholewheat due to my starter) version is now a staple in my house - soft and with the perfect crust. No need to add any humidity to oven when cooking. Just straight into the oven. Though I did end up heating second stage at 180 degrees for 25 mins as opposed to your 21mins, though my oven controls aren't accurate. Using a wholewheat starter also works amazing. I heartily recommend.

Very informative to see how three different sets of ingredients respond. Various (other) Sourdough Starter videos use ONLY flour and water, but then have to let them 'grow' for a few days (with a few feedings in between) before they are strong enough to use to make bread.

[@jefaus06]

Thank you for a different recipe for sourdough. Comparing initial starter mixes is a great experiment. I've ever only used a strong baking flour and water. I am curious to try an initial starter with white grapes - as these would have natural yeasts which are more effervescent. A fun experiment for later. I'm returning to Sourdough baking after a long break. Corona Virus has gifted me a lot more time to do these things. The starter you work with is a lot drier than the one I normally use. I see that you don't autolyse your water/flour mix (resting the initial flour, water & starter mix before adding any salt) to maximize gluten formation, though you knead your mix a bit. The crumb looks tight on both of your loaves, though this is a preference for the baker. Some people like a closed crumb with smaller bubbles so it is easier for spreads such as butter. While others like a more open crumb for soups and casseroles. Each recipe has it's niche.

[@cililitan]

Watched last week, thinking about it, tried it and yesterday, I BAKED A SOURDOUGH bread! For the very first time, no experience whatsoever. My wife was so thrilled :D I used the honey method. Got few hiccups along the way (used honey that already on fermentation, accidentally spoiled the dough with old plastic wrap and got mold on the surface, mix salt first with the dough when making the bread etc. Well, beginners mistakes LOL. But hey, in the end it worked! And like you said, with honey it is more sour than usual sourdough. Thank you, sir! You inspired me and now I have extra sourdough in my fridge LOL.

[@lillumination5388]

This is a true find, and I am very excited, grateful. In the midst of this corona virus madness, all the yeast has disappeared from the stores, and this gives me a priceless moment to switch from yeast to starter. The commercial yeast is a rather dangerous element that has been genetically created. It will still be alive and multiplying after the bread is baked. So, the alive and kicking yeast will enter our body and multiply within causing health issues. Many starter recipes are complicated, but this one, wow, the best. I am sold on it. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@bruney74]

To make sourdough fluffier, let it rest! Yeast takes an hour or so even then it may need a bit extra, sourdough is slower. When I saw yoghurt, I was like "wont that go off? " I felt satisfied. Honey/raisin are great ideas to feed natural yeast, I havestarted a new batch of starter recently will add some honey for sure. Just let your bread rest, it is a gentle caring process. Knead it, rest it, then fold/rest as many times as you like. It really is a wonderful thing to do!

I usually use about a tablespoon or two of pineapple juice to help the starter’s enzymatic activity get going and to prevent the growth of some less desirable bacteria. Some yoghurt has some of the leuconostoc (sp?) bacteria you don’t want, so that might be why the yoghurt one didn’t work. It isn’t pineapple season, currently, so I may have to try the honey or raisen method to get it going. My old one got a mold infection because I didn’t think to put it back in the fridge after the temperatures started to rise here. It had been so cold I was just leaving it on the counter for more space in the fridge. Poor sour dough, may it Rest In Peace. Thanks again for another excellent tutorial.

Just loved the way u explained things!👍 I liked the way u are shown talking to yourself by splitting the screen! Creativity at its best!😀👌❤️👍 I ended up clicking the subscribe button immediately!😀 But I have 2 questions for u. 1)Do u recommend sourdough made with raisins for better result? 2)What would be the proportion of sourdough while making bread with whole wheat flour? Here in India we prefer whole wheat flour as we make Rotis(flat bread) made with it daily. Also remember that I hail from a hot country. Our normal temperature here right now in Mumbai is around 35℃. So will the proofing period varry while baking a whole wheat bread with home made sourdough having this kind of temperature?

This is a very educative video. Water with Honey is faster than Water with Raisins because Honey and Raisins have same % of Carbohydrates BUT I think that Raisins have more Potassium so it takes more time to react when mixed with the flour (i.e. Honey 24 hours and Raisins 48 hours). Also, both (Honey and Raisins) are mixed with water BUT yogurt has low Carbohydrates and water.

Great video - but you didn't knead this bread and you barely stretched it.. and it still kept its shape and rose a little in the oven... The overnight rest must have allowed the gluten to create the structure the dough needs to form a well shaped loaf. Nice job.

If you put yogurt in a coffee filter and strain out the whey, use the whey only like liquid. the solid will be left behind and it is like cream cheese. Sourdough can be started without any additives. Isn't the sour part of sourdough desirable?

HI Richard..what do u mean that sourdough can be started without any additives? You need flour and a liquid to make the starter, in order to make sourdough.How do u make sourdough? You use flour and what else?? Thanks for info..

[@richardlynch8009]

@@kimberlyschwartz5299 You obviously have to have flour and water...and that is all you need along with patience. I had an old starter in the freezer, but I just started a new one about a month ago. I put absolutely nothing but flour and water. It started showing bubbles after several days (my apartment is unusually cold for this time of year). I fed it again, and continued to feed it over the next week. I think it was a total of 10 days before it was really lively enough. I do not feed as big as the flour companies recommend. Guess why a flour company suggests that you make so much that you have to throw it away. If you use anything else, you are introducing different cultures. For example, if you use liquid from something lacto-fermented, you may get a different flavor. The whey example is one thing that works, but it tastes different than being patient. The flour can make a difference as well. Many people suggest starting with rye flour. My last batch (from about 3 years ago) I used rice flour, whole wheat and something else I had on hand. The bacteria went through a time of fighting it out. But I'm guessing you can use a lot of things. The yeast you use for regular fast-rising bread is apparently not as good for you as the probiotics you yield with patience. Even yeast comes in a lot of different types. What I used to make beer is NOT what you use to make bread. The latter yields harsh flavors in a brew. You can infect your sourdough with a lot of things that make it 'go fast'. 'fast' is less important to me than flavor. That is not knocking this presentation. I'd watch these shows before Gordon Ramsay any day.

I made the honey soudough yesterday, I left it 24 hours and today I checked it, it didn't rise as much as it did with yours but, I can see four bubbles forming on the side of the jar, that means it is on the process of going. I will leave it another 24 hours, I am so excited....

SOURDOUGH CHALLENGE Thank you for sharing your sourdough starter recipes and your baking experience. The Baker's Percentages of your bread recipe are 64% hydration (low and thus less sticky) and 27% starter (medium and thus intermediate time for fermentation to increase the sour taste). Olive oil is used to make Ciabatta bread, invented and created by a baker in Italy in 1982. A fourth way to create a sourdough starter is with the "foam or head" of a purely "sour" beer, which is a natural "wild" Brewer's yeast. Excess sourdough starter can be fried in a small amount of olive oil and sprinkled with herbs for a delicious, nutritious snack. The main criteria for a good sourdough bread include nutrition, taste and appearance. The following general recipe emphasizes nutrition without sacrificing taste or appearance. Basic Sourdough Bread Recipe Four Ingredients for Bread: Grain, water, sourdough and salt. The key ingredient is the sourdough. Started making the sourdough starter and feeding it every day with flour and water. The sourdough determines the taste of the bread. It makes the key difference. 1. Modern hybrid wheat is not healthful, but Organic Spelt (Dinkel), Einkorn, Emmer, Kamut (Khorasan) and Turkey Red Heirloom Wheat whole grains are healthful, mainly due to much easier digestibility. See the link below for a mill. 2. Pure water free of fluoride, chlorine and heavy metals is healthful (filtered if necessary). 3. Natural sourdough yeast bacteria culture is more healthful than commercial yeast, such as Brewer's yeast and Baker's yeast. Some breads are made with the yeast in draff, such as malted barley draff, which is Brewer’s yeast. 4. Refined, white table salt is not healthful, but whole salt (e.g., Celtic Salt) is healthful. https ://bartonspringsmill .com/ Barton Springs Mill, Austin, Texas Heritage Grains Photos: Heirloom Buckwheat, Heirloom Corn, Heirloom Spelt, Landrace Rye, Heirloom Wheat In 2016, Barton Springs Mill set out to bring authentic heritage and landrace grains and corn to our fellow Texans. We work with farmers across the state, all exceptional at their craft, to grow organic crops using the same strains of seeds planted here in Texas in the early 1900s. Most every day of the week, the [stone] mill is running, churning eight varieties of wheat, five varieties of corn, two varieties of rice and rye, and spelt for Texans who prize the nuances of taste, texture, and performance found only in heritage crops. https ://bartonspringsmill .com /collections/all-grains Barton Springs Mill > All Grains [Stone Ground] https ://bartonspringsmill .com /apps/help-center Frequently Asked Questions Excerpt: Q: What are the best varieties of grains for making bread? A. Ancient varieties are the oldest varieties, those developed without any help or interference from mankind, including Einkorn, Emmer, and Oberkulmer Spelt. Landrace grains refer to open-pollinated varieties, crossed on some level by humans in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Our landrace grains include Turkey Red, Rouge de Bordeaux, Red Fife, Marquis, and Wrens Abruzzi Rye. Modern varieties, developed in the mid 20th century through today, typically prioritize high yields and resistance to drought and disease above all else, often at the expense of flavor, nutrition, and baking performance. Happily, there are exceptions, including our Yecora Rojo, TAM105, and Danko Rye, who all more than hold their own with the ancient and landrace grains in our offerings. Q: What does AP refer to? A. AP stands for all-purpose flour, which you can find in multiple brands in your grocery store. Ours is a blend of hard red and soft white wheats. This combination gives a lighter and tender crust and crumb (from the soft wheat), and enough structure to rise properly (from the hard red wheat).

So having said I could never get a starter to work, I did do your yoghurt recipe, but I used kefir instead, and wow! 12 hours later it was climbing out of the glass!! I halved it, fed half, and am using the rest to make some bread - it is proving now. I will leave it 12 hours and then bake it. Can't wait!

@@Spectacular-cuoredicioccolato It was delicious! Very moist and quite firm, but not so much of a sour dough taste I think because the starter was so new. I will develop the rest of it and try again in a week or so. Thanks for the ideas!

[@alisonhendry2928]

I have never seen sourdough started like this. I am going to try it as I have a dud in my kitchen right now from an amazon San Francisco starter. I should get a replacement for it as the company stands by their product, but in the mean time I am going to add some honey and see what happens, then I am going to try this method. No waste! I hate it when it says you have to throw Away and refresh. What"??? I don’t think so! I absolutely adore the accent too. Italians speaking English.. adorable.

[@marghebimoullabiere9629]

So many mistakes : First if you are using the word Sourdough you should add nothing’ no honey, no sugar, no nothing , just water and flour - starter (rye or whole wheat + water ) covered with coffee filter so it can breath and develop - Levain is made before making the dough (starter + 100g flour + 100g water proofed for 12h) - Dough must be folded 2 times with 30min rest - Dough must go to fridge for 8 to 16h to develop flavour - Cooking the dough must be done on high heat 220c or 500F for 20min than 375F/190 for 20min - Your bread is dense If your dough doesn’t have a lot of holes it means it didn’t proof properly Please don’t try to make money on innocent people and giving them wrong information

So, I've been trying to make a sourdough starter for months...I've tried just flour and water, rye flour, Apple slices, but it never really bubbled. I just started another starter 2 days ago, so now I'm going to add some honey to it☺ Thanks for the info!Hopefully my starter will be ready to use by the weekend!

It worked! Yay! Now what do I do? Do I put a lid on the jar? Am I supposed to throw away half the starter? When does it go in the fridge? Or does it stay on the counter?
