Putting Your Sourdough Starter on Hold

[@PraxisPrepper]

Thanks for this video. This reminds me that I have sourdough starter that I should divide, use and feed soon. I love that you shared that the freezer seems to be a fine place to store from your friend's experience! Thanks for this video.

I'm very excited to say I've been using a recipe (for bread) which does NOT mandate continued feeding of sourdough. It is crazy, I've made it a few times and it keeps getting better. I think I should do a video on it. One just keeps the starter in the fridge, we remove what we need and feed that with the flour for that particular recipe. It's great, i abhor throwing away discard... and i'm sick of having to eat it on a schedule

I've had starter in the freezer for months that wakes up super fast. It's crazy how resilient it can be

[@OldSchoolPrepper]

it's interesting that most of the printed sources say "do not freeze' but the bakers that I know do it personally.

@OldSchoolPrepper just another example of "it's not always like the books"

[@dianaj3139]

So cool! I had no idea you could do something like this.

[@OldSchoolPrepper]

I know, it's a game changer!

Good video, thanks for sharing, YAH bless !

[@OldSchoolPrepper]

thanks Michael, you might think about giving bread making a try. Sourdough is it's own universe though

Off topic, have you ever made any videos specifically about your experiences living in Mexico? I've seen you referencing it in a lot of your videos and a lot of your videos are shot down there, but I've never come across a video where you talk specifically about your experience of living down there. If you haven't made a video like that, I'd love to see one, or short of that, I'd love to chew your ear off on the phone sometime about it. My family is considering a second place to put down a foot and Mexico is on our radar.

hi Praxis, I have not but I sure should esp considering the outcome of the election. I'm happy to talk about living in Mexico. We generally rent since owning a home out of the country has it's own challenges. We also stick to Baja (anywhere on the Baja) mainland is a bit sketchy unless you fly directly into and out of a particular city. Driving the Baja is easy and I do it myself...mainland is a different story. All that said, send me an email and we'll talk. BTW my name is Martha.
