Tom, I’ve been baking sourdough for family, friends and neighbors for 3+ years. Your method of temperature and time has been a game changer for me. It’s the same ingredients, but nowhere near the same bread. Thanks for the education.

[@thesourdoughjourney]

Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate it.

​@thesourdoughjourney hi Tom, thanks for all the great work. It's been so helpful in my own sourdough journey! I think you mentioned in one of your videos a calculator to work out what temperature your water should be based on the temp of the other ingredients to achieve your desired dough temp once mixed. I've had a look on your website but couldn't see it. Am I just missing something obvious? 😂

[@emmabaido458]

Wow! Thank you! You really are THE Master! 🙌🏼

Thank you 🙏

I went to a class and learned how to care for a bake a sourdough starter using their recipe. The restaurant uses a 120 hour cold fermentation method to bake it. I tried the first time and over fermented because I didn’t think it was a big deal to leave it in the fridge for an extra day when a family emergency happened 🙃 my dough became super sticky that it had no tension for shaping. It barely rose and was more dense than it should be, but taste wise it was fine. Thank you for this resource! I will definitely learn a lot

[@thesourdoughjourney]

Thank you. This is just the beginning…

[@user-mo5us8jy7h]

Tom, Thank you so much for this channel you created. I am so glad I found it. I am a beginner at making starter and sourdough. I am a home baker and do enjoy cooking as well. On 3/7/2023 I found a starter recipe from another site and started my "starter". Over this past weekend, I found your videos and watched them all. I learned so much information and now I understand the chemistry of this recipe. I am now following you and only you. I am also using the 7 days to convert my starter from all purpose flour and whole wheat flour to bread flour and whole wheat flour like yours. I am on day 3 with that and it seems the starter is very poky and slow. I am really trying to regulate the temp which is a little low average about 70 F I am feeding 1;2;2 daily. The starter is 2 weeks old all together at this point, and it is still taking a good 10 hour to double. Any ideas or suggestions . Its hard to kill LOL , but at this point, I thought I would be at the four hour or five hour mark with doubling . Thank you, Bonnie from Long Island, NY

[@thesourdoughjourney]

Thank you! Be patient. When getting it started it takes time and is better to underfeed than overfeed and discard before it has fully risen and fallen. It may also be your kitchen temp. Cool starters rise slowly, but they are no weaker. Just slower.

[@jbarnes4326]

Congratulations! Such exciting news! Hope you and Susan are well. Jen and Eric

[@thesourdoughjourney]

Thank you! We are doing well.

[@margielaughlin6056]

What you have done is amazing! Any plans to test adding whole grains?

[@thesourdoughjourney]

Thank you. Yes, that’s on my list for later this year.

[@khabbaz-99nnn]

Congratulations ....before I know any thing about starter and how to control it..I Used to put some of left over dough that I kept it many days in fridge.until it get some sourdness.and add it to my dough.I notic that if I Late baking many hour.l get best flavour and nice smell.can we use such that and get the same result or clause to starter effect??.again accuse my English talk😊

[@thesourdoughjourney]

Yes, left over dough can become a sourdough starter, but you do not want to begin with dough where you used packaged yeast. You want to capture “wild yeast.” Check out my video, how to create a new sourdough starter.” Or the FAQ page “Starter-Creation” in the Encyclopedia.

[@khabbaz-99nnn]

@@thesourdoughjourney thanks🙏I will watch it
