    I will start this Sourdough baking journey and I'm being doing research and learning many methods. This is the most simple, no waste and amazing method. I'm so gratefull. I decided to write down the steps and I want to share it here for everyone's benefit. Maybe is not perfect but I tried my best ;)

    • digital thermometer to measure water temperature
    Ingredients
    • white bread flour
    • dark/whole-grain rye flour
    • purified/distilled water (avoid tap water - chloride kills good bacteria we need)
    Instructions
    1. Day One
    To a starter jar, add 6g (1 tsp) white bread flour, 6g (1 tsp) whole rye flour and 6g (1 tsp) warm water (50C/122F). Mix ingredients and keep somewhere warm for 24 hours.
    2. Day Two
    To the day 1 starter jar, add 6g (1 tsp) white bread flour, 6g (1 tsp) whole rye flour and 16g (4 tsp) warm water (50C/122F). Mix ingredients and keep somewhere warm for 24 hours.
    3. Day Three
    To the day 2 starter jar, add 6g (1 tsp) white bread flour, 6g (1 tsp) whole rye flour and 16g (4 tsp) warm water(50C/122F). Mix ingredients and keep somewhere warm for 24 hours.
    4. Day Four
    To the day 3 starter jar, add 12g (2 tsp) white bread flour, 12g (2 tsp) whole rye flour and 32g (8 tsp) warm water(20C/68F). Mix ingredients and keep somewhere warm for 24 hours.
    5. Day Five
    To the day 4 starter jar, add 12g (2 tsp) white bread flour, 12g (2 tsp) whole rye flour and 32g (8 tsp) warm water(20C/68F). Mix ingredients and keep somewhere warm for 24 hours.
    6. Quick Guide For Feeding
    To the day 5 starter jar, add 12g (2 tsp) white bread flour, 12g (2 tsp) whole rye flour and 32g (8 tsp) warm water(20C/68F). Mix ingredients and keep somewhere warm for 24 hours. Repeat this feeding once a day and keep somewhere warm for 24 hours if you bake regularly. If not, feed once a week with cold water and put it in the fridge.

    THANK YOU! While there are lots of recipes to use with sourdough discard, I can't keep up with the amount of discard required to make a starter with the traditional method. I have killed several starters simply because I got overwhelmed and fell behind on feedings/discards and they went rancid or grew mold. I am happy to find this video!

    This is THE BEST method I’ve used to build a starter. It was ready in 4 days to bake. I was concerned it wasn’t strong enough so I let the bread proof extra long. It over flowed the banneton & tin. I had to bake it right away instead of cold proof. Next batch was beautiful. This is THE WAY to create a starter. Period

      Thanks so much Nigel. Let me know how you get on. If you can't control the room temperature or water flour temps you can also consider shorter feeds. So instead of 24 hours do 12 hour feeds. Thos will speed up your process and will probably get an established culture quicker. Good luck my friend

So smart, of course metal would react with it, but who realises that ahead of time, & temp., 2 things I have seen missed in other tutorials.

    So glad there's no waste. I had great success with my starter (freshly ground pearl barley flour), however it just stopped growing. I discarded two who jars of non-viable starter as I didn't want to waste it. Wasn't until I watched your video the penny dropped as to a possible reason why it stopped. My tank water ran out and I switch to town. Hmmm. It's even filtered. Will start again with Bambi MkIII. I've tried switching to wholemeal flour with a bit of added wheat germ and the pearl barley made into flour. I'll swap back to tank water as we've had some rain, and see if that helps. Cheers and thanks for a great video.

    It is the easiest way how to make starter! I am happy to find it. By the way I scaled the weight when I used the measuring spoon because l want to check if my measuring size is precise and later I want to use simply spoons no weight. But actually 1 tsp of each flour(I used white flour and wholewheat flour) is around 3g instead of 6g. Should I keep the number of spoons you suggested or better to use my scale to keep the ratio of weight?

    Hi and thanks so much for making this such a straightforward process. I stupidly forgot to put a date on my starter and so I may be a day early or a day late into the process. So can I just repeat one day’s feeding amounts? And if I don’t see any sign of life on the 5th or 6th day (whenever that is) because my ambient temperature here in the UK is on the cool side, can I increase the temperature fractionally by placing the starter in my oven with a light on or a bowl of hot water? And can I just keep on adding flour and water until I see any activation? Many thanks Tim

  • @markabbott6084

Surprisingly, baguettes are much harder to roll than one would think, so mine are also quite crooked. 😆 I will use this video for making sour dough in about 2 weeks, if my baguettes have been improved.

    I really like that little wooden paddle. Where can I get one?

    I’ve finally got a decent starter going after watching your video. It was my last attempt of many and if it hadn’t worked I was going to give up! Now I have the dilemma of not being ready to bake with it right now! So I’m planning to put it in the fridge but I’m so afraid of killing it! So I’m going to have to for two days should I feed it just before? Or is it ok to feed it the night before I’m due to bake on Friday and leave it out at room temp? My kitchen gets cold overnight as we don’t heat the house at night so should I put it somewhere warmer? Thanks in advance.

    So when I am getting ready to bake, can I use cold starter or does it have to be warm or room temp starter? I know that it needs to have been fed at least 24 hrs prior.

    besides the bubbles, is there a good way to ensure the starter is ready to use?

    Quick question (and sorry if it's already been asked), but if the process is going slow (no notable activity after three days), do you continue on to day four, or do you keep repeating the ratio of the first three days until it starts to look active? Thanks so much for this video. Great!!

    If I'm in a particular day ( eg day 4) and my starter needs feeding again at night, do I repeat the designated day's amount of food (water and flour). I live in the caribbean and it's really hot here so do I just use the same amounts twice a day?

    I wish I found your video about a week sooner. My starter showed lots of activity from day 1 up to day 3. From day 4 on, no activity whatsoever. I hadn't fed it after that and it's starting showing activity. Fingers crossed

    Do you have to add wholemeal or rye?? Can you do this whole process with only white flour?

    Oh my goodness. How I wish I come across your video first! The other videos has made me throw away so much flour, which just doesn’t DOESN’T sit well with me. I’m at Day 6 now. How can I salvage my starter now? Such a headache now

    Hello - My starter is on day 3 and smells like very strong liquor. My house is at 79 f. I am using organic white and rye and bottled, filtered water. Any suggestions? Is it bad and should I throw it out? Thanks

  • @christineqi984

    I used this method and after three feeds, there was clear liquid coming out on top of the starter, should i increase the frequency of feeding or should i just keep doing the same as before?

    Thanks for this great guide, I'm going to start my starter right away! A couple questions.......it sounds like rye gives a more sour result, did I understand you correctly? So if I'd like more sour bread, use all rye flour in my starter? Also....I'll probably only bake every week or so, thus I'll store it in the fridge....should I do anything to prep or revive my starter after pulling it out of the fridge before I use it to bake something?

    I'm making this sourdough starter and I'm on Day 5. So far I haven't seen it rise at all on any of the days. Shouldn't it start soon? Also, I went on RUclips and didn't see any recipes using this starter to make a sourdough loaf. I would love to see that. Thanks!

    Well, becoming a fan of the no discard method. A problem I have had with my starters, using several different flours and combinations of flours, is that I do get an alcoholic smell from them, but no sour smell at all. Some are actually very fruity. No clue as to why. I am going with a rye flour this time, and am seeing if I can do it with buckwheat also. Always some thing different to experiment with....
