20 minutes of smiles and luxurious looking bread and pastries makes for a very pleasant 20 minutes spent indeed.

[@kittytaitbaker]

In case you want to skip the vid and just get the starter recipe, here it is! 1tbsp apple skin (grated) 2tbsp bread flour 2tbsp warm water Mix in a jar, pop lid ontop and leave for 4 days then feed with another 2tbsp water and 2tbsp flour. Use the next day or pop it in the fridge! Watch end of vid to listen to me babble about starter maintenance 😉💗

[@esmee-kamp]

Thank you so much for the 'low maintenance' recipe! I was always a bit intimidated by the 'feed your starter once a day'-concept! Love your content!! Lots of love💗

[@Dilvamp90]

It's not babble. Trust me it's more informative and very easy to understand your great at articulating your process and how you make things you don't over complicate things, which is awesome.

Finally someone who shows a good sourdough tutorial wich is very EASY to repeat! Bravo! So many tutorials on KZbin about sourdough make it a VERY complicated thing with lots of "do" and "don't"! Dear viewer, don't be afraid to try to make your own sourdough starter! Eat real and healthy bread! It is NOT complicated and sooo much better then all these industrial "bread" imitations with lots of unnatural adds in it! Thank you Kitty for the humor, the energie, the big smile in your videos! Greetings from France.

[@kittytaitbaker]

Thank you so so much!

[@maryschermerhorn3893]

I finally made a starter, but I don't know what the fermentation smell should be, it seems to smell like a beer, and just a wee bit of liquid. I added the last addition of water and flour. Have my fingers twisted around for tomorrow for the s.d. loaf. I make yeast bread, but am looking forward to something different.

They are delicious and appetizing, and it is clear that you love the profession of baking, even though it is a profession that requires a lot of patience and sacrifice.

I married a baker and all I can think watching your video is, give me the half of your smile. We have a wood oven. We make sourdough bread of course, but not this fruit style. For the last 5 years, I make on daily basis feta pies, croissants, bougatsa with semolina custard and biscuits. Cakes and easter breads when is needed. It´s a nice job, tiring because of the time we get up (3 am), but rewarding. The most difficult part is the people we are selling to! Ha ha! Anyway, our bakery is since 1955!
