Superb video. With yeast and flour you can make so many cheap foods. I started stockpiling after it completely sold out in my local stores for over three months. At the start of the pandemic everyone was panic buying food. When the food ran out, everyone started panic buying the INGREDIENTS to make food. There was just chocolate biscuits and icecream and crap like that. It truly sucked to have 10 packs of flour in my preps and no yeast.
The recipe mentioned in the video, at 9:30 a temperature of 350 degrees is mentioned, but he doesn't say whether that's Celsius or Fahrenheit. Do you know which one it is?
Can you add a transcript for printable directions.
@@noltehsu Great idea tbh.
@@pieterveenders9793 it's farenheit. This is an American channel.
My Great Nana taught me this when I was a wee lass. We’re Irish, we can do anything with potatoes! 🍀🍀🍀🍀
Molasses.
in this video, it looks more like a biscuit loaf than bread loaf
Thank the brown people in south america for them potatoes.
🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮
Yes you even fashion them into heads
I have an Amish baking background and had one batch of captured yeast for almost 20 years. We treated it like a pet..feed, water, aerate Lol.
That's funny
Did you name it "Fi-Dough"🤭
@@SilentNoMore64 Doug
please make a video for those of us who aren't Amish and would like to have this pet, also can you eat this pet lol
Just put a few table spoons of water and a few of flour in a clean jar, put some cheesecloth over the top and put it in a cool dark place for a few days, you should see bubbles by that point, which indicates the presence of yeast. After that just add a little flour and water to it every day or two to keep it fed. It really is that easy. The only frustrating thing is bread doesn’t seem to rise as well with wild yeast, but that could be something I’m doing with the dough.
You do not need potato - same effect you can achieve by using flour. Also - you do not need to close it/espouse so many times. You can just cover jar with cloth (best will be medical or cheese) folded couple times over and use rubber band to sealed it.
When putting bread in to pan, fold it down and pinch below to crate smooth surface. Before placing in to oven make a little slash with knife to create crack trough the middle of a loaf (or it will crack it self).
Last 10 min before taking out from oven, you can spray loaf with some water (only a couple drops - you can use fingers to do it) to create nice and crispy skin.
If you are using milk in recipe - your bread will a little sweet and soft (great for jam, pb, jelly and all sweat creams), but if you will use water instead you will have nice bread ideal for meats and bbq. You can also buy in store - just look for Polish Bread xD
Apologies for all mistakes i did - English is not my native language.
Thank you, for this sensible stuff, l agree, and your English is great.
The man was showing a technique using "a potato!" Since you think of yourself so knowledgeable then make your own video!
Don't be mean @@BonhommeVert.Br.St-Jean - Everything i wrote was helpful advice not criticism.
I will point out that potatoes are native to South America and weren't introduced to the rest of the world until the 1500s, so I am pretty sure the original method did not use potatoes. 😛
Awesome!
The comments on this bread are absolutely the best I have seen. Thanks for sharing, everybody.
As a mycologist said last year when people were complaining about the yeast shortage on Twitter, “There is NEVER a shortage of yeast!”.
Hello legend!
Do you think starting a mushroom farm would be a good idea for survival food? My wife and I are thinking about it. Weighing work vs reward.
@@jasonrobbins6295 of course. Great idea
@@jasonrobbins6295 I was thinking the same thing myself. The big issue is maintaining a clean room with no power, likely no water, and no unlimited supplies. If you can do it or find some good info about it I'd love to be shown!
@@NONAMESLEFTNONE Sour dough has been around way longer than electicity. Make a thick paste out of water and whatever flour you want to use or have on hand, cover with something breathable and let it ferment for a few days. Add small amounts of water and flour to feed it. Usually takes about a week to have a starter that is strong enough to make bread with. Adding small amounts of anything sweet help make the starter strong. The sugar feeds the natural yeasts in the starter. Adding sugar isn't entirely necessary, it just helps to speed the process along.
If dough is too sticky, do not keep adding flour. Develop the gluten and it will become less sticky, adding flour will make the bread dense. There are two ways to develop gluten, kneading and time.
Is that why his bread looks so dense? Cause he didn’t knead it enough? I’ve had this kind of bread before but it’s so dense and I’d rather make a nice airy boule or baguette…
100% . Everytime I went over board with the extra flour to prevent stickiness I ended up with a super dense and mostly unpalatable loaf.
@bean0615 Yes. That and the fact he didn't use real yeast. It looks like he is going to be choking that down. It looks terrible.
@@uncletacosupreme7023”real yeast”? Lol it’s the same yeast, just a different strain. Bread requires structure, and that structure is gluten which as has already been said, develops by either working the dough or by long fermentation time.
I am not a baker and thought adding more flour sounded wrong
You're right. Yeast does not survive well in chlorinated water. But, a rolling boil of tap water for 15 minutes releases all the chlorine. Do that then put in the potatoes. You can also leave water open for 24 hours and the chlorine evaporates from the water. Chlorine in tap water is actually in gas form and dissipates into the atmosphere easily.
My grandmother who, smoked a cob pipe, was a tremendous gardener, who planted by the phases of the moon, would use hops for her bread starter.
Hops acts as a good preservative. Yeast can tolerate it, but other microbial nasties (or even good guys, when in their proper place, like acetobacter or lactobacillus) don't especially like it. Wild yeast beers use the same or similar method.
Wow. I would have loooved to have met your grandma! The knowledge she had I have much respect for. Why plant by moon phases?
@@chelseaandhobbes When the moon is waxing (changing from new to full), the time is right for planting seeds that yield fruit above ground. When the moon has passed full and is waning (diminishing) the time is right to plant root crops with edible parts below the soil.
anyone know an easy way to make cheese like swiss and cheddar without buying the products online? other than parmesan and farmers cheeses. That doesn't take any at all.
But what month did she start planting? I'm supposing the first was cool crops like lettuce and peas. Then root crops. Lastly, Surely peppers, tomatoes, melons, and heat loving crops must be last. Isn't it?.@@sillililli01
Loving these videos. I have bought myself some notebooks and have been writing down every step in my books just in case I need these skills and the internet is no longer available. Learning a lot about wild plants for food and medicine and buying real books rather than relying on videos alone.
81klong.......very wise. I've bought lots of books but fail at writing instructions down (like this one)...thx. for the reminder.......
That’s a great idea!
We think alike
I wonder what you meant about the internet being "no longer available".

We’ve had Fred (our yeast colony) for years. He’s very hard to kill from neglect - and I should know, I’ve forgotten to feed him for months in the fridge, and while he’s starving, never dead. And the more “active” you are in baking with yeast, the easier it is to make a starter. I haven’t done the potato method though. Fred might need a sibling. I don’t bake much anymore because of dietary restrictions but potato instead of wheat opens up options for me.
TGIF= Thank God It's Fred. :)
If those dietary restrictions are a prohibition against wheat, have you looked into making potato flour?
Hi Erica! I would love for you to share a recipe along with any tips you can offer, for starting a yeast colony of my own.
Is it similar to the potato slurry shown here?
Thank you and blessings to you and your family!
Hey! Mine was named Fred too! But my Fred died. 😒
@@NannetteBlair poor Fred, what was it starvation.
You can also get wild yeast with nothing but flour and water in a bowl set on top of your refrigerator but you need to cover it with cheese cloth to keep the dirt out and check it for mold if it starts to mold you can scrap the mold off of it and carry on until you have your sour dough starter once you have it you can store it in a jar in your refrigerator and when you use some just feed it some more flour and water so you never run out of the live wild yeast strain. Interestingly every location in the world has its own variety of wild yeast and it effects the flavor of what you make with it also.Also do not use clear glass jars to start your yeast if they are gonna get exposed to sun light it will kill your yeast that is why when you buy yeast in the store it is in dark glass jars.
Home baked bread no matter how you make it is 100% better than that garbage you get in the store. Does anyone else taste that bitterness in todays store bought bread? I can't stand it, i make my own and avoid that bitter after taste. Another great and informative video. Thanks for all you do.
Haven't eaten store bought bread since 2013, after reading US allows GYPSUM to be put in...for those of u who don't know what that is...think about what drywall is made from😢
Prepping shows should be more like this episode. Getting tired of Bug out Bags talks. How about an episode on preparing Zombie steaks. Keep up the good work.
thanks...glad you enjoyed this!
Amen to that! This is actual information we can use. Way more valuable than bug out bags videos, which are all almost the same videos anyway.
I agree 👍
I totally agree, what wonderful information, thank you.
@@kristinradams7109 I agree with you 100%. We need these life skills in case the power grid is down and we need to start living in the 1800’s again.
This looks doable. The best starter I ever made was based on leftover oatmeal. It made such wonderfully flavoured bread. However, potatoes give bread such a great taste and soft texture that this is worth trying, just for those properties. Great bread should be seen as a celebration, not merely a survival food.
Oatmeal Sounds like a lovely bread. Could you add a method & recipe, I.e. amounts etc. please?
@@Anne-kb9hd I am so sorry, but that was over 40 years ago, and I got the recipe (such as it was) from a magazine from the health food store. Basically, it was "set leftover oatmeal in a jar with enough water to make it fluid, add a tablespoon of demerara sugar and let sit till bubbly. Pop our half into a bowl, add some flour and water and set overnight. Next day bake your bread." So that's what I did. I would have added about 1 cup/250 ml of water and about the same of flour to ferment overnight, then added a cup of warm milk and more flour in the morning, with maybe a spoonful of honey. I'd only have had white flour in the house and used that.
@@carollizc Thank you so much for your reply, very kind. Don't have Potatoes much in house anymore, (low Carbs.), So this will be a great standby!
I would love your oatmeal bread recipe ! Maybe you can share ?!
@@Anne-kb9hd Please post the recipe! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Ok. I saw your reply on the recipe. Thank you.
My nana always made her own bread! Nothing like warm fresh bread and butter!
I miss my nana!
What a lovely calm reassuring voice. His "That's Ok" is brimming with confidence. Thx
I love this kind of prepping video. There's too many regarding lists and gear. Learning skills are vital. Thank you for this.
Right if everyone is hunting and foraging there's nothing left, need skills like this
Capturing wild yeast, whatever your methodology, IS the first step to making a starter. The idea of a starter is that you only have to do this once, then you keep that yeast culture alive so it is available any time you want to bake. Capturing yeast each time you want/need to bake is absurd and may have been done as needed, but more frequently a starter was generated and kept alive. Once you have an active culture (healthy bubbling water, potato, sugar and flour mixture) add more flour and let the yeast continue to feed. The feeding schedule of the culture will be determined by the particular yeast/bacteria blend you have captured. Additionally a watery culture will need more attention than a thicker culture. You want it to rise up and as soon as it collapses it will need to be fed again. Could be every 4-8 hours. I captured yeast from some Muscat grapes I collected from some vines on Cherry Avenue in Fontana, CA 25 years ago and I am still using that "sourdough starter" to bake bread. I keep my culture in the form of a very thick pancake batter-like consistency in a flip top container (so it can breath) in the refrigerator, about 3-4 cups. I feed it with bread flour and water about every one to two weeks. It will develop a layer of alcohol on top occasionally which is known as hooch. DO NOT DRINK IT. Pour it, off add more flour and some water, stir vigorously (it likes the added oxygen) and let it get active, then return it to the fridge. The cold of the refrigerator retards the yeast growth. I have been away from the house for four months or so and neglected my culture, but was able to bring it back with water and flour after it looked pretty gray and dried out. When you are planning on making bread take the culture out of the refrigerator the night before, feed it and leave it out on the counter. Get up the next morning and take out the amount your recipe calls for. Feed the remaining culture again and return it to the fridge. If you're not making bread for long periods in between you will have to remove some of the culture and throw it away because if you just keep feeding it will just keep growing. Great for pancakes too. Have fun. Capture once, bake often.
You are the man Robert Newton!!! Bless up brother.
My grandmother had the same culture until she freaking died literally she baked fresh bread daily and preserved that culture. Unfortunately we gave in into buying bread instead of continue to bake our own once she was gone. I grew up doing it daily.
Always go to the comments,thanks
This alcohol produced, how strong is it?
I'm not really into drinking, but alcohol makes for an excellent disinfectant for treating wounds, and if this method of growing yeast can produce such a resource, I don't see any reason to let it go to waste, especially if you don't have a still for making alcohol (and let's face it, a still can be hazardous).
@@Gottaculat the hooch is generally .5%-2% alcohol, but as it contains a lot of other compounds I would not use it as a disinfectant.
I had this recipe and it was called Alaska Sourdough Starter. I loved it. It must be fed and I was hospitalized and away from home for 3 months. I used it for all kinds of baking recipes. Thank you for sharing it. You mad e my day.
The best sourdough bread I've ever had, was made from yeast I cultured myself. Spelt flour makes awesome sourdough and you can culture the yeast right from the flour itself and then bake it into a wheat loaf, spelt loaf, or whatever bread you like.
I would like to try this.
My girlfriend cultures her own bread-making yeast as well. Especially when she doesn't bath for days!
@@zanaros2606 LMAO! Good one.
If you only have chlorine in your water, not chloramine, you can let it sit out overnight in a pitcher with no lid and the chlorine will evaporate.
That's what I do when making Apple Cider Vinegar. Just put the water you're going to use into a wide-mouthed jar or jug...cover with a couple layers of cheesecloth or a coffee filter...and 24 hours later you can start making the vinegar. Chlorine is gone, obviously, since my vinegars have all come out great! 😄👍❤
They are changing the type they are using, so depending on what kind…it won’t gas’s off.
Great too thank you
I only use bottled water to cook and drink with for my cat and myself to drink with.
That's what I used to do for my aquariums. Really it only takes about 20 minutes for the chlorine to disipate.
This is one of the most important videos I have ever seen. I had no idea this could even be done. I loved the quote at the beginning, and it is truly correct about paradise being anywhere you have a piece of bread in your hand. Thanks so much to both of you!
Look up " sourdough starter" and " Amish bread starter" . You'll be so glad you did!! ENJOY!!❤❤❤~ Mamaw Christy 🥰
Yes! This is truly brilliant!
This is a very similar method to making a sourdough starter. I made one from flour and water about 2 years ago and still maintain it and use it weekly.
Yaaay!! Just what I was looking for! And you are simple in your description! I am passing this on!!
You have provided an excellent video instruction for making bread.I can't wait to do this myself!
My mom substituted garlic salt sometimes..added minced chive onions sometimes...added blueberries,raspberries,apple chunks,you name it aand made some of the best homemade breads... I miss that smell..
This does a great job of making yeast. When I place my yeast jar in my window I cover with cheese cloth and rubber band so bugs don't fly in jar
Good Tip. Thanks!
Have you ever heard of potato bread, the English invented it, 1800's when there was a shortage of wheat and was regulated by the government, was made of one third potatoes, two third wheat, natural yeast leftover from the production of beer and alcohol and salt. Quite resourceful and delicious! 😁
Always a beer supply during any shortage it seems, lol.
try potato stuffing . amazing and delicious
I had wondered what the ratio of potato to flour was for potato bread. Thank you. I suppose that would include sweet potato also? sadly I feel like I'm cramming for a test. God only knows what our Governments have in mind to do next.
Why spread misinformation? It was the Irish that created potato bread. Just like the English always stealing something
The best homemade bread I ever tasted was made from potato starter. A friend I worked with 40 years ago brought her potato bread for dinners we would have, never got her recipe. Thanks for sharing!
This reminds me so much of a yeast recipe I read of when I was kid living on an outback sheep station ( ranch ) here in the Great Southern Land way back in the early 1960's. Back in the days before there was much of a railway network and no road trains and precious few roads either, it was common to walk livestock over vast distances to markets or on agistment. Drovers' cooks had to be a very inventive lot back then. The yeast recipe I read of involved using the water the potatoes were boiled in the previous night. Some of it would be poured into a bottle and, ( I'm guessing now ), some sugar was added, a stopper put in the bottle and it was left to do it's thing. That's about all I can remember of the process, because...well...it was over 60 years ago that I read of this! Nevertheless, I'm sure this would work if all of the other steps in the video are followed.
Maybe it was something like this that set off me on the path of wondering what else we can use in the kitchen that would normally be thrown out in the garbage. After a lot of reading and researching, I can give you this tip - we throw out a lot that that can used in other ways. From what I've read, at a pinch, this sort of yeast could even be used to brew beer! I bet that got your attention! lol
Wow, fantastic! I rarely cook from a box or can because cooking and baking from scratch is so tasty as well as healthier. This is the best tip I've gotten in years. I give this video 10 thumbs up!
Thank you so much 😊
@@CityPrepping there's a fundamental step missing. He doesn't tell you how much water to add to the mashed potato to start the fermenting process. He just says add some water. But it looks like he wants an equivalent of a cup. He also doesn't say how much potato you should have. The ounces would be important as well I would think. These are really important things to understand because I believe that fermenting things to create this yeast culture requires some specific ratios.
@@toconnor6811 In the beginning of the video, he states you'll need 1 and a half cups of water..He only added the additional cup of water b/c his water boiled off..hope that helps:)
That is amazing! I'm going to have to try it!
I once made a sourdough starter using homemade kombucha and rye flour. That was some kinda bread!
The more I dive into topics covered in your videos, the more I realize my ancestors are pretty awesome.
Outstanding! I added this to my "Good to Know" playlist.
Awesome, thank you!
Hard copy, bud. If the grid gets hit, this information is worthless on a playlist.
@@forkleftism9692Lol, I wrote it down while I watched it. 😁👍
Its great to know im not the only person with a need to know / good to know playlist. 😁 My hubby thinks im silly for being prepared, but my skills helped this past February with the deep freeze we encountered with food shortage and lack of power.
Great video! My Portuguese MIL always made her own yeast this way...her Portuguese sweet bread, Portuguese donuts (malasada) were so delicious!
Love your voice, so calming & bread looks so delicious🙏🏼❣️
This brings back some memories.
Back when I was 13 or so, my favorite magazine was Western Horseman. Recipes were included. One time it was how to make sour dough starter, and a multitude of recipes to do with it.
Of course the bread was wonderful.
Also made *the best pancakes ever*!
Alas... haven't done it again these last 50 years, even though I once in a while find the recipes again.
We should all learn the old ways
Including edible "weeds" you could use on the bread when making a sandwich.
@@gwens5093 A superb idea Gwen! How about it City Prepping?
Including all the patience and longer time to do most everything…make your self have a strong commitment before to start use all the old ways..are you sure you can do it..?or it’s just a time killing comment on RUclips..?
Oh yes 👏
@@alanwalsh2052 I'm surprised how many city survivalists skip over how much wild rye grows in open fields and next to highways or don't mention how vital dandelions can be to staying healthy.
People have been making some form of beer for thousands of years and using the frothy barm as leavening for making bread. Meaning; bread has been leavened with yeast for thousands of years, long before potatoes were widely known.
Okay... I had to subscribe after seeing this video! Thank you both so much!
Thank you! It's high time people learn the old ways! Reminds me of my great grandmother 💗 Would you please do a video of the old way we canned meat using rendered lard? No wet bath or pressure cooking. Cover your meat in lard or tallow and it will be great! For fish and other meats, equal parts of salt and sugar rubbed on the fillets of fish or meat will be ready in about 18 hours. You can also add spices to the rub if you like. Knowing these processes will get you through the times that modern canning supplies aren't available.
I'm sorry, can you please send complete process for meat !? After lard or tallow, what is the next step ? Then after applying the equal mix on meat. What is the next step ? Thank you in advance ☺
Thanks you for this. Always wanted to know a different method besides corning my pork. GOD bless you and yours. Can you post the actual process, please? Thank again. Much appreciated.
Thank you so much ! Yes this reminds me of my G.G, and aunts, mom too. They are all gone now, so its great that you are sharing 😊
Sounds a bit like pemmican..
The meat that goes into the tallow is dried first (and ground to a powder).
Shelf life 25 years?
Lori D it sounds like you need to make us a video or written instructions, that sounds awesome!
I always wanted to learn stuff like that but lost my grandparents early in life.
Great clip, when I get to a location where I can write it all down, I am going to put it in my survival list cooking book.😉💯

Thanks. I use store bought yeast and make whole grain bread with flaxseed that is delicious AF. Thos is a good tool for the tool box.
I've stocked lots of yeast along with my flour in mylar with O2 absorbers. Should be good for my own stock for bug in SHTF.
Note the yeast is in sealed jars as bought and not with the flour in the mylar bags. 🙃
Your voice is very soothing. 😊 I'm going to try this just because! Thank you so much!
Thank you for this video I’m gonna be using this, I believe this is the kind that my great grandmother was using, she had 12 children. I’m trying it God bless you with this video
I'm definitely gonna try this, because one thing that was gone off the shelves along with TP last year was yeast. And homemade bread is so much better.
This is great information that I will set aside to try on a rainy day. I am writing this down in my SHTF notebook of need to know info! Great content.
Glad it was helpful!
So glad to see someone else keeps a written SHTF notebook! Too many people just say "oh, it's saved on my iPad, laptop, phone", zero comprehension that power and the 'net may not exist. Thank you - now I don't feel so OCD ;-)
@@CityPrepping Thank You~! Do you know How to continue this yeast so that you don't have to start all over each time?
Great video... well explained. Can't wait to try this out. Thanks for sharing.
Thx u always come thru w ur content. I am tried 2 prep & learn some new skills. Baking bread is 1 of them. . This goin 2 come in handy!
Consider using brown sugar in place of white sugar. Molasses makes a superior starting solution.
Do tell, I’m all ears! Can you offer and more on this, such as your personal experience or a tied and trusted resource?
@@WayTruthLife2100 Almost every producer of yeast uses sugarcane (or sugar beet) molasses.
Great video. I was a 4h cooking teacher at our local school for 4th and 5th graders and taught them quick breads. Something like soda bread is an easy alternative.
I can't wait to try this and thankyou for the information it's much appreciated.
wow this is an old tradition method heard already from grandparents but never saw it done so like this thanks for sharing keep safe this matches where there is a will there is a way my grandparents would say thanks again sure to try
I thought I had a hedge against yeast shortages by learning how to make sourdough starter, but this looks like another great option! Not planning to give up my sourdough habit any time soon, but this is worth trying as another option. Good to know!
I used to do this when I lived in Alaska back in the 70's! It makes the most amazing sourdough bread and pancakes 😋 Love from Jamestown CA
Thank you, I will definitely use this recipe for yeast and bread! Thank you again! We never stop learning ❤
You can do this kind of a starter by using flour, water and raw honey also. It doesn't give you as much of a sour dough taste. If you keep saving some of this over for the next bake, the stronger your starter gets the more you use it. Makes good pancakes too!
Both my mother and my grandmother used to make potato bread and I had been looking for a recipe all over the place and couldn't find one. Thank you for this I'm going to try it tomorrow morning
How was it? Have you made it again since?
As so many of the other subscribers have said, hand on videos are the best. Thank you for breaking in to new territory. Keep ‘em coming.
Love this video!! What a Good Teacher!! Good lesson! Thank You 🙏!
That looks so delicious!❤
I love to learn how foods and remedies were done ages ago.
Cool! I've made potato bread before and Lots of sourdough during the last year-and-a-half when I couldn't find yeast but this is the best of both worlds! 👍
Thank you! 💜
1 1/2 cups of warm water, or potatoe water, and about 15 0r 20 juniper berries. That blue dust on the berries is the yeast.
Would blueberries work like the juniper berries?
@@catfishm.1361 they don't grow around here, so I'm not sure. But the dust on the shoulders of different fruits is wild yeast. The Amish have been known to use apple peels. Yeasts are easy to find.
@@nikburton9264 Thanks! 👍🏻
I didn’t know that JOHN CUSACK narrated natural airborne yeast videos. I like when actors branch out and try different roles that goes against their public image……thanks John CUSACK, you always never cease to amaze me. I actually believe you enjoy natural bread making. And the Oscar goes to……
Holy cow! I can’t stop hearing it!
I just learned a word "Dough Starter" and saw a picture of it, didn't understand but trusted the description of it. That was a month ago but I forgot to* actually research about it!.. Then this vid came up, and I realized they were the same!! I always wanted to make bread! And I didn't know how simple a dough starter was to make! Thanks so much :')
When I was a kid, my grandmother pulled off a hunk of dough & saved it for the next batch. If she thought she'd use it soon, she wrapped it in waxed paper in the fridge. If she thought it would be longer she actually froze it & then made a very liquid sponge & let it develop before using.
I am new to this field but want to learn. Thanks.
Excellent video. Thank you for the full knowledge of this simple yet very important and versatile building block of life. Naturally fermented foods are so healthy for the body and pleasing to the tongue.
We all need to get back to quality living and food, this is a great start to finding your way back there.
You should do a video on how to make a sourdough starter too. That stays alive forever if feed often.
If you truly knew how to make sour dough starter he just showed you how to do it with this potato starter same principle!
DONT LET THE BRATS USE THE LAST PIECE IN THE FRIDGE! it will take several days to start over!
@@cindys.w.8566 there is more than one way to do almost anything. Sourdough included. I have also been using sourdough for years, no sugar or potatoes needed

I'm excited to try this. Thank you for r sharing!
I have done this when I was younger. Delicious potato bread without the yellow coloring.
Skills and knowledge we as a society have forgotten...
Something I’d always wanted to know, thank you. I have made bread for years and heard of growing your own yeast but never got round to researching it.
Spot on timing as I’ll be baking shortly.
Oh gosh I've got to try this this week 😋 thank you for excellent and thorough video.
That is so cool never would of thought of doing this thankyou Canada
Great information, one I didn’t get from my grandma. I am a cook at a large family owned grocery chain on the East coast. When this past crisis started all baking products were hit hard. Yeast the last to come back. Will give this a try and keep in my bag of tricks
I absolutely loved this video. It was concise and gave all the details wonderfully. Thank you so much for all of your great information. I have always been a fan!!
Glad it was helpful!
This is such an incredibly helpful video! Thank you!!
This is good info! I will try this one. Thank you for sharing! ❤🙏
My mother does something similar but uses white flour and honey or raisins as a glucose source.

I never heard of using potato for bread before but I’m willing to try. Thank you for sharing
I have to try this. Thanks for the video.
Mixing fresh mature cocunut water with flour and allowing the dough to rise overnight also gives amazing results.
Fantastic video. I've been making a lot of bread in a machine this past year, I think its time to try something new. Thanks for posting this!
I had an idea of what you were going to do, but I loved how you used the potato. 👍
