Love this. Please don't put yourself through extra steps to teach with a clean jar. It is nice to see genuine, real time, how you maintain your starter.

Thank you for this. I guess dirt jars are the "real" side of reality tv, right? lol

[@ChristineSpringerElaine]

@@TheSeasonalHomestead I used to change out my jars and then got pink mold when I stored the starter in the fridge. I bought a tall sourdough jar that only gets used for starter. It came with a long spatula that made it easy to reach the bottom and is marked on the side.

[@artgamesforfun]

if you want good rise, add vital wheat gluten to your whole wheat; AP & bread flours have the nicest rise but you can introduce more whole grain without sacrificing rise if you add some of the vital wheat gluten.

[@1981tids]

I’ve made this bread a few times now. IT IS SOOOO GOOD! It’s also fool proof. I’ve rushed it and done it all in a day…turned out great. I’ve forgotten about it and stretched it out to 3 days - still awesome. I have tried several recipes for whole-wheat sourdough and this one is BY FAR the best.

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

Thank you!

Does it have that nice chew and slight tartness ?

@@athia37 yes it does. I have found that you need to let it proof overnight in the fridge to really get that sourdough flavour.

I need to learn how to use it, because you made me just realize I wasn't doing it right! I am still in the dark of how to use it by zeroing it out before weighing something again, but I can learn. This is only the second video I have watched from you and I have already been inspired by you in this homesteading adventure. I am a gardener and I am also preserving food. I do not have a freeze dryer yet, only a dehydrator. You inspire me to keep going on preserving food any way we can. Thank you for being so smart! Now to make some sourdough bread.

[@bethanynelson3959]

Looks beautiful, I read that artisan bread means the baker who baked it is an artist. Which perfectly describes you and those loaves. I too make bread with a "sour dough starter" I keep it in the fridge because I don't like the sour taste of starters keep on the counter top. So I tell people it's natural yeast. The way we were supposed to eat wheat. Before man made yeast in a lab so we could have bread faster. The yeast eats the gluten making it so we can digest it. Your instructions are so easy to follow thanks for this tutorial. I had to name my "pet" in the fridge so I wouldn't forget to feed him, lol.

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

Sounds like you have it down pretty good!! In case it was unclear in the video, after that first night on the counter, we do put our starter in the fridge. Totally agree with you, this is how they used to do it before industrialized bread became a thing. Thanks for watching!!

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

You may never go back to "normal" bread after sourdough, so watch out!! :)

[@misssophie6515]

my sourdough breads have gotten so much more satisfying since I have stopped "feeding" the starter, I only refresh it now after reading some baker's blogs. the difference is: you don't carry over all the old culture, you take a fresh glass, only 5-10 grams(!) of the starter, 50 grams of whole grain flour (of the same kind that the starter is made from, in my case rye, as my breads mainly consist of rye and spelt) and 50 grams of room temperature water. let that sit for 5-10 hours loosely covered, roughly until it has doubled in volume and transfer it into a new jar. now you have the ideal starter to bake a delicious bread from. ideally I do that once a week, but it will hold out longer. but the older it is, the less amount of old starter you want to transfer into the new culture, as it is aged and the enzymes have kind of slowed down. after refreshing, the starter should be full of big bubbles and smell sour, not sweet.

[@kateokeefe5577]

You can add orange juice as a substitute for part of the water and that will add to the rise and also help with the bitterness that some whole wheats have.. the bread is gorgeous!! good for you!!

[@gladyrose21]

As a german guy i put in the last raising stadium a few spices to the dough esp. fennel, caraway seed, and anise. If you give it a try, start with a low amount of the spices, and then adjust to your personell taste. And i agree with your statment the much longer on rest the better it will get. When i make bread i use only rye flower which makes a realy intense taste.

[@fabonlinellc9389]

Thank you for this video. I love fresh baked bread and have been experimenting and perfecting methods for many years. The best thing I did was invest in Emile Henry baking pans. They are ceramic pans that retain the moisture so the bread bakes perfectly. I try many different grains and make my own flour as well. It looks daunting at first but once you learn a method it is very simple. Everyone should try to make their own bread. There is not a better smell coming from the kitchen. Thank You Becky!

@@AmandaWoolsey I don't have a video on that yet. Sometimes we grind two gallons worth at a time for convenience of use. But other times we do it right before we use it. From what I've heard, it has the maximum amount of nutrients if you grind it right before use. We store the flour in the recycled bucket you saw in the video. All other grains we store in 5 gallon buckets with gamma seal lids. This video has our pantry and I show some of the storage. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5fTpn-DeaaUobs Skip to about 4:14 into the video to see it.

@@TheSeasonalHomestead thanks for the detailed explanation! I hope to learn more about this whole process :)

So both the written and the video is for 2 loaves of bread? Or did you double it to make the 2 in the video but gave measurements for a single loaf? I'm new to this and don't want to make to much and waist it

Oooo ... need to see wheat grinding into flour. 🙂

[@inthrutheoutdoor1006]

so good to see an american using grams and not cups - you have no idea how confusing cups are for the rest of the world!

[@sarahmclain4535]

What kind of mill do you use to grind your flour?

[@rafaelvieira6357]

What if you bake the full loaf (instead of dividing like you did)? Will the time and temperature be the same? I tried and the bread got half baked…

I prefer to use a non-enameled cast iron dutch oven, but it's a personal choice - ;-)
