Just a suggestion sweetie! Take your starter out that you’re gonna need. Clean your starters jar home out, measure the water first, and put that in the starter jar after it’s clean, then add the starter back in, then mix the water and starter together, then add your dry flour. It will help with not having to mix to hard and scrap the bottom to bad with that sticky starter. /Save them wrists!/❤

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

God bless you for that! Thank you so much! Ok will do that tomorrow! My wrists are sore 😆

[@SquirrelRun]

Hi Heather! I'm absolutely loving this series, thank you so very much! I am a decent bread baker, been doing it for over 35 years. But sourdough seriously intimidates me. You're making it seem so easy. I have a brain injury (I had a mini stroke 24 years ago, caused by birth control pills) and I have chronic pain and nerve damage stemming from my back and the titanium cage & fusion I have. I also have a pain stimulator to relieve some of the pain. But there are days this old body just doesn't want to move (I'm 54). We bought our little "hobby farm" a little over a year ago and in that time my husband has had all of his toes on one foot amputated, and then he broke his other foot causing him to be a cast for the last few months. We're trying hard to get everything done, I'll tell ya! (we've got just over 30 laying hens, 3 roos, just hatched out 8 chicks from this flock, and we just got 50 meat chickens and 6 turkeys we're raising up! Chicken Math is REAL!) But your videos and this series is the the highlight of my day, and I'm learning something new! I just bought the sourdough starter kit and I'll be driving into town today to get some rye flour! Is there a brand you recommend? Ready to up pot my seed starts too! Thanks again Heather, God Bless!

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

God Bless you! Thats a lot to take on, i know! Praying it all brings you joy and helps with your pain. 🙏🏻❤️ I buy my flour from a small, local amish market. I believe it’s King Arthur Flour. I do love that brand. Bobs Red Mill is great too!

[@jshandfam7443]

I appreciate so much your tenacity to continue on with wrist pain. I also have painful wrist and its nice to see acknowledging the pain but not letting it keep you from doing things. Watching your journey has been so inspiring!

I love the way you teach. I need all the syeps and i need it in real time or like when you are jeeding bread you yell us how long it kneeded for. I find that the how to videos that just apeed right thru gives me a false sence of how long it really takes and i feel like im taking to long so i stop perhaps to soon for the task to be done correctly. Thank you!

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

Absolutely! And i am so happy this style works for you. Works for me too!!!! Even if it takes extra time🥰

[@BettyCDH]

Love you Heather!! I'm a visual learner, too. I find the way you show and talk about all the steps helps me understand how you reached a conclusion of a particular step. When you were talking about getting rid of the bubbles/pockets, I was thinking your starter prep is just like your canning prep. I came across this yesterday (day 2) so, I'm running behind. I don't understand why Twitter didn't alert me. But, I'll be joining tomorrow. Oh!! After seeing the book you are using, I went to Amazon and downloaded a sample for my Kindle. There is so much info in that sample on getting the starter going. It stops before there are any recipes, but the info goes through day 7.

Hi! Well for me it's just going to be viewing. I went looking for a jar to use, and found someone beat me to it. lol So my mad science experiment will have to wait. Still I'm enjoying viewing your actually usable starter mixture! I'm with you on the struggle with arthritis, and had it start at a very early age in life. I appreciate that your still getting on the best you can with all the many things life brings. So I view videos, do comments, support channels with mine; especially charity events. Any difference are talents make in bringing together people with the love that Christ Jesus showed us is at the heart of my life. May he heap upon you the support you need in everything. He will be there every step to help you Rise Up; especially in a bread making video! Thank you!

[@chillbilly2517]

Another bread maker on YT said the cover was there to "keep the flies out" I actually just set the lid of the jar on my counter starter however the one (same starter - different jar) in the fridge I do tighten it down. I've never had a dry top. I do get some hooch now and then which I stir back in before feeding. Also I do flush the throw away if I don't keep it down the toilet because yes the the good bacteria in the starter feeds off the bad bacteria and on a side note I flush a packet of yeast at least once a month just for septic care. I know weird but true.

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

I think leaving it open to the air allows it to grab the yeast in the air too! I got myself a nice big weck jar for my fridge so I can’t lose it or forget about it. 😆😆😆😆

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

This explains it better than i can 😆 What Makes Sourdough Special. Sourdough bread is bread that's made with a fermented flour and water mixture, or preferment. A preferment is a mixture where wild yeast and bacteria are able to grow. Bakers use preferments in place of instant yeast to make their bread rise. spoonuniversity.com/how-to/what-is-sourdough-the-bread-that-rises-without-yeast
