HOW TO MAKE EINKORN SOURDOUGH STARTER AT HOME

[@NilsVidstrand]

An excellent explanation of the process. You speak calmly and reassuredly so we novices can do this, too!

[@TheDuvallHomestead]

Yes you can! Thanks so much 🧡

[@gleenapaddock9858]

Ty, the best tutorial I have seen. Well done.

Good! Amazon 😊 amzn.to/3wiQLEb

[@racheld1111]

What happens if it gets watery and has a pungent smell? I may have waited to long too feed it today.

[@TheDuvallHomestead]

It’s probably just hungry! Stir it and feed it and you’ll be good to go 👍🏻

[@myhusbandsrib]

What if I got tons of bubbles by day 3? Should I use it then, or still wait for 5 days

[@TheDuvallHomestead]

@@myhusbandsrib I would give it a couple more days but you can try it now!

[@jude1225]

Can i add all the discard into one container as i go to use for discard recipes?

[@TheDuvallHomestead]

Yep!

[@conniezimmerman3147]

I went to your blog to print the sourdough recipe as instructed and there is no sourdough recipe to print! Can you tell me what I need to do, please? Thanks so much.

[@TheDuvallHomestead]

Yes so you want to scroll to the very bottom, where there is a “recipe card” that lists all the steps for the starter. There is a button at the top, under the title and description, that says PRINT. Let me know if that makes sense!

[@adelakern7120]

Could we start with smaller amounts of water and flour but keep the same ratio?

[@TheDuvallHomestead]

@@adelakern7120 yes

[@cindypauquette7159]

When you say you use all purpose flour to make bread with your einkorn sour dough starter are you talking about white flour or einkorn to make the loaf?

[@TheDuvallHomestead]

@@cindypauquette7159 in this video I used 100% all purpose einkorn flour. But I normally use 50% einkorn and 50% white for a higher rise!

[@conniezimmerman3147]

Can you send me a pdf of your recipe, but chance? There are so many as on the recipe it ended up being a seven page document and very hard too followed because the instructions are interrupted by ads!

Does this work with fresh ground einkorn?

[@TheDuvallHomestead]

@@hollydevine8866 yes! If the consistency is too thick or runny you can always adjust the water amount but it will absolutely work 👍🏻

[@danugarbarino874]

Would this recipe still work if I was using whole wheat einkorn flour?

[@TheDuvallHomestead]

I Have not tried it but I think it should!

[@danugarbarino874]

@@TheDuvallHomestead I’ll give it a try, thank you! I tried the recipe that Jovial has on KZbin and my dough hasn’t done anything. It’s just like a lump of dough and it’s been over a week 😭

My starter is on the runny side.I use 1/2 cup (60 grams ) of local, whole grain einkorn flour that I mill at home and 1/4 cup filtered water ( also 60 grams).

[@TheDuvallHomestead]

If it’s too runny I would use more flour or less water

Hi, I began the process with a different brand of flour and it started to bubble after the second feeding. by Day 2 in the afternoon it was beautiful, but then on day 3 after feeding it deflated and became creamy with almost no bubbles... I kept up discarding/feeding it for 13 days, but nothing else happened, it remained creamy. :(

[@TheDuvallHomestead]

@@JoseViana-sw2li that means it’s just hungry! Keep it in the fridge if you’re not using it. It will eat faster in the warm weather too. Does it inflate before it deflates?

[@JoseViana-sw2li]

@@TheDuvallHomestead it inflates on day 2 and less on day 3 when it deflates then it won't rise again. I have used almost all the 5lb-flour with two different methods. Starts awesome and then, plop.

[@TheDuvallHomestead]

@@JoseViana-sw2li it sounds like its sitting too long without food. If you’re seeing it double in size, you should use it in a recipe and then put the rest in the fridge. Only take it out at room temp and feed it before you plan on using it.

[@JoseViana-sw2li]

@@TheDuvallHomestead Thank you! I fed it every 12 hrs and I thought the starter should "mature" for a few days before using it. I guess then it is a super grain that gets ready fast. I'll let you know the progress with a new starter. Thank you!

[@lukelatham8491]

Total flour used ?

[@nicoledeibert1150]

I just started today, the 2:1 flour to water ratio seemed really dry to me. I’m using a locally (to me) grown einkorn flour. I’m assuming that if my mix is too dry (not moving at all) then it’s okay to add enough water to make it at least move a bit as you’ve shown in the video?

[@TheDuvallHomestead]

Yes that would make sense to me too. Chunky is good, you just don’t want runny.

[@julieten2774]

How do I print your recipe without downloading a program I don't want? The program comes with promotions I don't want to come into my emails.

@@julieten2774 okay, what you’re seeing must be an ad. There is only one print button and it’s at the very bottom. Definitely do not download any apps.

[@problemswehate.1310]

Why are you discarding? The waste of all these starter tutorials is staggering. Our ancestors that created this method didn’t “waste anything”. Look up no waste starter videos and choose a one that doesn’t throw away perfectly good baking materials which cost money. If anything you can use this same method but cut the measurements to tablespoons instead of cups of materials and just add to it each day without discarding. If you use organic einkorn flour the results will be amazing and only take about 4-5 days.

[@TheDuvallHomestead]

@@problemswehate.1310 when I say “discard”, it doesn’t mean “throw out”. I have many discard recipes on my blog theduvallhomestead.com. Save the discard and use it for pancakes, pizza crust, pies, etc!
