EASY Sourdough Starter Method:
1⁄2 cup flour (whole wheat or unbleached all-purpose)
1/4-1/3 cup uncholorinated water
Quart jar
Small towel & rubber band
To begin:
Start the process by adding 1⁄2 cup whole wheat flour and 1⁄4 cup water to the jar. Stir thoroughly and cover with a towel and rubber band. Let sit for 24 hours at room temperature. (Try to keep it in an area of your house that is somewhat warm. Very cool rooms tend to slow the action of a starter.)
The first feeding: After 24 hours, check the mixture for bubbles. If you see some, add 1⁄2 cup all-purpose flour and 1⁄4-1/3 cup water. If you don’t see bubbles, give it a stir and let sit 24 more hours.
The second feeding: After 24 hours, check for bubbles again. If you still don’t see any, dump out the mixture and start over. If you do see bubbles, discard half of the starter, add 1⁄2 cup all-purpose flour and 1⁄4-1/3 cup water and stir thoroughly. Let sit 24 hours.
The third feeding: Discard half of the starter, and feed with 1⁄2 cup all-purpose flour and 1⁄4 cup water, stirring thoroughly. Let sit 24 hours.
Continue this routine until the starter is consistently bubbling and doubling in size within 8 hours of each feeding. At this point, you can store the starter in the refrigerator and feed it about once per week. When you plan to use the starter, pull it out of the refrigerator 24 hours in advance to feed it and allow it to warm up and grow.
**Have chlorinated tap water? Simply set the water out in an uncovered container for
24 hours before using it to feed your starter. This allows the chlorine to evaporate so it won’t kill the wild yeast.

Any ideas as to why my starter smells horrible? Not sour like it should. I was on the third feed and I just couldn’t take the smell so I chucked it. It had bubbles but barely rose.
How often do I HAVE to feed it?
How do I know when to be done feeding it and then store it?
This is spot on. People worry way too much about creating a starter. It just takes patience. It can also take a withstand a far amount of neglect. I keep two small peanut butter jars of starter (named Bart and Lisa) in my fridge. I feed them about every 3 months when I am not using them. Take them out, let it warm up, scoop some out, give it fresh flour and water. (I don't even measure it anymore). When I bake with them, I usually give them two or three feedings to really rev them up for a strong rise. Works fine.
Bart and Lisa! I love it! And yes, I'm always amazed how much neglect they can take...
My friend always makes sourdough and when I asked about starters she said you have to be given a starter from someone else so I'm real happy to have found this because I knew that wasn't true
Wow, you have kids that behave and do chores. Also dogs the behave. Well done, i like sering this. Great example of good living.😊
Lovely. And empowering. I like the way you include ordinary life and the animals to give a context. Many thanks - from the UK, Sarah
Easiest tutorial ever! Thank you! I don’t know why I had such comprehension issues with others videos, but you made it so much more simple. 💙💙
I love that you include your daily life and your kids! 💖
I like the no fuss. I like the suggestion for using the discards. I like the fact that you use approximate measurements and aren't crazy about exacts. Watching some other chefs make sourdough looked daunting and like I could never repeat it. I thought to myself, SURELY there has to be a less crazy way to do this for the common folk out there (like me, and before modern technological and culinary advances) to make sourdough bread regularly! THANK YOU for this video!! I'm totally ready to begin now!! 😁
Thank you for this video. Your book is equally informative and enjoyable. Day 2 and the starter is bubbly. I keep a quart jar of city tap water covered with a paper towel on my counter. It helps to keep some on-hand but now it’s essential for starter. Years ago, in my 20’s, I was given “Friendship Sourdough Starter” and regret letting it go bad. It would’ve been a little thread of additional connection with the woman who gave it to me and all the people I could have shared it with. When you get older you think about little things like this.
Your children are so very fortunate to be growing up the way they are, with y'all and this approach to life. I love your good influence here on YT, and the many things there are to learn here (even though I'm old enough to be your mother). I might actually try this sourdough starter. I've been getting into making bread at home, but have looked at sourdough as too much work, etcetera. Now I'm intrigued to try. Thank you!
i don’t remember how long ago i first saw this video but today i have finally embarked on your no fuss method of capturing wild yeast!!!! i’m so excited and nervous my jar is sitting on the counter and i’m avoiding eye contact! pray for us! 😅♥️
Family and farms, big or small, go together like kids and chores. I grumbled over doing mine as a child but I learned how to work. Life is work! But it doesn’t have to be unpleasant. Now that I’m on the downhill side of my 60’s, I find that I’ve always found a sense of accomplishment in doing even the most tedious jobs. If it’s work of value then it’s work worth doing.
Awesome comment! 👌 yes!
I have just watched a bunch of sourdough starter videos and i have to say yours is the BEST and EASIEST i have seen. Thank you. Im new to bread making and love all of your videos. You break things down so simply and makes me feel i can do it. Again thank you.
I finally have a very active growing starter! So excited! I thought I killed it the other day when I accidentally used tap water (with Chlorine), but if just fed it the next day with spring water. It took about a week to grow well. Today I bake.
Thank you! Love the care of the chicken at the end as well!
Thank you for realistically explaining the whole sour dough process. I never was sure what to do about the “hooch”. Now I know!!!
Have your cookbook, made our sourdough starter from it. Dirt simple! When I get tired feeding it I just refrigerate it! No fail in Little Rock
Yes!! It's crazy how simple it can be!
I always use the handle of my wooden spoon to stir my starter. I use the handle to stir the dough when I'm making bread too. It acts like a dough hook.
Thank you for explaining this in such an easy and not scary way. Now I think I can do this !
I like you, you are very relatable with kids running around and chicken emergencies. Life is unpredictable! I fed my starter today, no anxiety, no loss of brain power. And I can't afford to lose any at this late date
Thank you so very much for sharing. It makes a difference in the world.
God bless you.🪔
So....every other tutorial I've read or watched involves soooo much precise measuring of how much to add/remove and timing and it's been intimidating. I love your more relaxed approach! I'm on day 4 and it's looking good and smelling good! (Well...good in that sourdough-y way!) Thank you!
“Prepare your heart” 😆 Gah I love it ❤️❤️
I added a teaspoon of honey dissolved in water to my starter. It really helped things get going! Love your instructional videos, so informative and simple to follow.
Honey? I gotta try that. It makes perfect sense.
Does it give it a honey flavour?
@@mariahhenderson1470 No, not at all! The honey is all "used up" in the yeast-growing process, so by the time it's baked into bread no honey flavor lingers.
@@l.g.2888 that's really cool! Thank you
Thanks for making it simple. I've watched different people make it. Funny how some are so picky and others are like what ever!
I keep watching your recipies over and over again through the months!
Love how comfortable the children are around the animals!
You are an incredible teacher! Thank you!!
Thank you so much. Stay safe.
This was such an easy video. I have seen some that seem so confusing and difficult. Thank you for the KISS method for those of us who needed it!
Best instructional content I've seen. Thank you
MANY years ago someone gave my sister an Amish friendship bread starter. She learned how they will keep in the freezer so instead of giving any away, she would freeze them. Plus it saved having to feed as often (which is nice considering they take 10 days).
One time while visiting her I decided I wanted one so asked her for a cup. She wanted to be greedy! Claimed she didn’t have that many cups left her in freezer (she had at least 4 cups) & wanted me to wait & get some another time! I said “NEVER MIND!” Of course then she practically begged me to take one but I refused. However, she did send 2 cups of starter home with our mother who came home & fed both cups resulting in a bunch of it. After I got home I started doing some online research. I figured out how to start my own starter!
Fast forward in time a little. Sister moved. Guess what died during the move? Yep her starter in her freezer. Guess who she had to ask for a starter? Yep, ME! Fast forward again. Sister moved again. Guess what died again? Guess who she had to ask again? 😁😂
Haha your story is funny but cute at the same time, i hope she learned 😘
Not sure she learned. BUT I can say that for the most part in my life anytime she’s acted like that towards me it has come back to bite her in the butt later. 😉
@@julieb9215 hahahaha nice! Maybe one day then..
I doubt she’ll ever learn. We no longer speak to each other. When my dad passed away almost 9 years ago she got greedy so I had to take her to court twice. She learned I wasn’t gonna sit back & take it.
@@julieb9215 oh I'm so sorry to hear that, i wish one day you'll come back together, stay well be happy!😘
You are so marvelous for teaching your kids these ways...omg...lucky kids. 🥰
What a Joy it was to watch your video ..Thank-you !!
I just love your personality! the videos the podcasts, and the blogs . S funny and informational in a dumbed down way it seems possible .. thanks miss Jill!
You should get an award for best cook videos
I have always wanted to be someone who bakes her own bread. My nan was a
bread baker and I don't remember her ever buying a loaf of bread. I
have so many fond memories of that warm cozy bread smell.
For
about a while I have been curious about sourdough and making my own
starter but it has always seemed sooo complicated. I finally am at that
point in the quarantine where I have made up my mind to take the plunge,
but there is an endless amount of information on the internet about
sourdough bread and all of it seems to differ slightly. I was getting
overwhelmed. I love that you make it seem so simple and easy .
I am finally going to get started today and see what happens.
It's happening! 24 hours and I have bubbles. This is so exciting, thank you for sharing.
Thank you thank you thank you. I live in the United States of America and we do not use metric measurements. It's very refreshing to watch a video where regular measurements are used and there is no pretentious attitude.
Oh my goodness, I am so glad I found you. You are so easy to follow. I did sourdough years ago. Along with sprouts and homemade yogurt and lots of things like that. I wanted to start sourdough again and finally found you. Your are fun to watch and your home and children are so beautiful. Thank you so much for helping me get back on track.
Jill, I love the podcast, the cookbook, and all things OFOP. I also love that you didn’t cut the part about the kiddo not being able to get in the door. I love it because it’s real life.
Ok the torch is awesome! It's a real pain in the butt to get one lit and kept going in a wood stove! I think imma need one of those!!
Your videos are awesome. I have to wean myself off to actually get some work done. Thank You
I'm not a big fan of eating sourdough BUT I have been very curious about the process and want to try it, this is great timing. Any bread I make will probably be gifts :-)
For sure! The one thing I like about DIY sourdough is that you can control the sourness a bit more-- it's not always as sour as store-bought.
HE!!!
how cute and lovingly you mentioned the jar of goo...
I'm a messy cook/baker, too, lol. Never apologize! So many people don't cook or bake from scratch anymore, it's just crazy. Bonus: I've also had chooks get tangled up in feed bag string, poor baby. It was so tight it had cut into her toe. Made me feel terrible, but we cut off the string, put goop on her cut, and she recovered. Also: that kid making a fire in the stove with the propane torch, lol. That's totally my husband.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve come back to this video. Thank you! Occasionally I kill mine and have to start again lol.
I am a new "follower" after finding your podcast with Lisa from "Farmhouse on Boone" I am now stalking your videos 😂 Just bought your cookbook as well! Thank you so much for all that you share! ❤
I'm up here in Maine today trying to learn how to big bread your recipe is the easiest and the best thank you very much.
Here goes! Starting my Sourdough Starter for the first time. I've watched this, I've read the recipe in your cookbook, I've listened to your podcast. I feel confident with all your guidance. As usual, thank you. You are super helpful.
I just started my first ever loaf of bread with your recipe. While it's proofing I'm starting on this sourdough starter. Super excited. Thank you for these easy straightforward and forgiving recipes.
Thanks so much for this video! I started losing brain cells overthinking my starter, but I’m pretty sure It’s going to be ok. On day 3. ❤️
Sourdough waffles with buckwheat added is delicious 😋 it's one of my grands favorite recipes.
I love that the kids brought the chicken in the house.
Killed my first starter. Bought some unbleached flour and started some more last nite. There are a few bubbles tonite. So I added more flour and water and stirred it all up. It’s resting on top of my fridge. Can’t wait to try some bread !!
I love your mastiff...what an amazing doggy you have :)
Hey Jill This is Susan, thanks for getting back with me! Thanks for the video. I will keep trying... I just don't make a whole lot of bread.. but I do have your cookbook so I will look for other ways to use it too! Have a Great Day and stay Safe!!!
The dog obviously loved the fragrance of the sourdough pancakes!
Thank you so much for sharing your recipe for the sourdough. I'm always afraid that I will end up with sourdough everywhere and no place to keep it, or that I have to make or bake something everyday. But I do love sourdough. Thanks again!! God bless you and yours
Yay I'm not the only messy cook!
I’m glad this was so simple....
This method sounds very easy and uncomplicated. It was very easy to understand. Thank you-❤️
Trying this right now, so far so good. Love that you guys treated your chicken so well too.
I have used your method twice. First experience I didn’t know what to look for. I gave up an threw it away, 6 months later I know what to look for and my starter spilled out my quart jar day 3 🤣 very thankful for the thorough and videos about sourdough
Made a batch from a different video and had to have a scale but I don’t. So I did equal parts of flour and water. Bad decision. It separated and all the liquid was on top and had turned brown. So I looked for a recipe without a scale and just made a new batch. Sitting it on my fridge so it’s a tad warmer. And so nobody decides to throw it away. Nevermind. Nobody here ever throws anything away lol. Thank you for the recipe !!
I just started mine today. We'll see how it goes. I'm so excited! Thank you for sharing!
When I first decided to try sourdough I fed daily for a week before I got discouraged. 3 days later when my King Arthur starter arrived, my own starter was booming. These days I bake about every 5 days and alternate between my two equally useful starters. The 10 days between uses they live in the fridge in small containers. When I remove from the back of the fridge I use some starter for my overnight levain to develop and use some of what is left to set up my next fresh batch of starter. Mine is made fresh each time using 1 part starter to 2 parts water and 2 parts flour. My stored starter is only about 125 grams total but is enough for most recipes. I leave my fresh batch next to the levain overnight so I can easily judge how active it has become while sitting. Without that fresh batch it would be hard to judge because my levain is usually full of soaked grains and raw sunflower seeds. The volume change on the levain is hard to see.
Nice! Have you noticed a difference in how the 2 starters behave in your bread?
@@theprairiehomestead King Arthur must be located close to me. I only can tell them apart by the different containers.
Try a dough rising bucket for your rise, helps you see the rise since the bucket is straight sided and has markings.
@@Ronibearable
The problem for me was having about 1/4 cup of the flour/water/starter mix and 1/2 cup of soaked grain. Noticing a double of that 1/4 cup becomes tougher.
Thank you for making my first time starter simple to follow!!! 🥰
I’m making a video with a similar subject for my (small # of) viewers. I’ll be linking this video in the description as part of my research. Thanks! Great video. I love how you make it unintimidating🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing so much with us. I really enjoy your videos. Blessings to you.
Wonderful podcast. Great explanation of working up the starter. And a quick peek at your busy life. Please keep it up. I’ve been wondering about the calving this year. Hope it goes smoothly.
i have made the starter and i am now making the sour dough bread.. I'm using the recipe from the heritage cooking course. this is so much fun i bought your cookbook and i love it.. so far everything i made has turned out great Love the French Bread..
I just found your channel and love it, I also love how you have your kids helping out, wonderful job.
Thank you this is exactly what I was looking for. Kinda of reminds me of when I started making yogurt, people had super complicated recipes. It’s ridiculously easy make and delicious. Your sour dough starter is just my style. Love the kids, mother of 5 grown kids here🙋🏻♀️. Yes everyone had chores, they all grew up to be great people. I subscribed! Glad I found your channel have a great day.
I make my own yogurt too, and it is ridiculously easy and delicious!
Thank you for the info . Good wishes to you and yours from Wales Britain . :-)
I just started the sourdough starter & this is amazing!!!! I’m making pancakes right now!!! So excited! Thank you!!!
just what I needed.
Oh my goodness thank you!!!!! I attempted the sourdough starter in your cook book twice and it turned out like a hockey puck. I trashed the first one on day 3 and started another.
Oh no! I hope this is better for you-- I am kicking myself for not mentioning in the cookbook that you may need to add more water.
www.farmhouseonboone.com/make-sourdough-starter-scratch,
Thank you...so much easier than other methods...
I tried a sourdough starter and it molded! Realized that I had it waaaaay to thick, and needed to thin it out. I love your channel an I aspire to homestead like you and your family do!
Thanks for the video and for simplifying the steps.
Thanks. I been looking for a starter guide that does not call for a scale.
Wild yeast also comes from the flour itself (from the grains)
I tried to make seitan from flour and all that I ended up with was the beginning of sourdough starter. It's a win! P.S. You do not have to feed your starter every day!
How often do you feed yours?
From sour dough to freeing a tied up chicken,,,doesn't get any better than that for a good recipe!
Obsessed with your channel! Thanks for making videos ♥
Thank you for this video. Love that your showing us stuff from your book.
Which I bought. And I love it 🥰
Starting my sourdough starter this weekend! ❤️
Thanks,,That wasnt bad at all,,always thought there was some complicated secret to it !
On day 3 and the starter is going crazy! So easy! Thank you!
Awesomeness!! Thank you!
Thank you!! We just made our very FIRST sourdough starter! Excited!
Just bought your Cook book will be here tomorrow. Can't wait ...thank you.
Just found your video while doing some research on this. I wish that I had found you last week. I'm doing a live stream tonight and would have loved to have you on it.
Thank you for explaining this in a way I could grasp it. 😂 was able to start mine with the video and crossing fingers it will have bubbles after these 24hrs.
Just found your channel and am loving your videos. Just got my starter going. Thanks for all the great information.
Thanks for creating this video. I can’t wait to have a good starter and to bake my first sourdough bread
Your home is so huge...its beautiful but i would get so lost...thank you for sharing 💚
I did my first discard today. Do I continue to discard half every day? Thanks so much for the help. 😸
Thank you!
Giving this a try today! Excited to wait for bubbles
