How to Make a Sourdough Starter from Scratch
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 июн 2024
- Join me as I make a sourdough starter from scratch. This process can take between several days and up to 2 weeks to have a bubbly, active starter, so don't get discouraged if this takes longer than a week. The length of time it takes to create an active sourdough starter depends on several factors, including kitchen temperature, environment, flour, water, and more. Just follow these tips and techniques for the best results.

How fun, been looking to start starting starter lol - thanks for all the details!!❤
Zoe, thank you for this video. We all learn something differently, and although I'm an avid reader, when doing so with any on-line instructions it was as if I was reading a foreign language, thus a bit intimidating! This is what I've always loved about your videos - easy to follow with some assurances and humor added into the recipe! Bon Apetite, everyone 🥰
Hi. I am so glad you found it helpful. I am a visual learner, so the videos always make more sense to me too! Enjoy! Zoë
This is so fascinating! Thank you for sharing!! Janet
I have had a long-standing interest in attempting this endeavor. I am grateful for your insightful video, as it has prepared me to undertake it. I have attentively watched your program on MAX twice, and I find it to be very user-friendly and intuitive.
I'm glad you enjoy the show!
But have you actually tried to make your own starter? I'm guessing you have and are as frustrated as most who try this. I suggest you stop. People who find this easy are living in an environment conducive to make starter. Most environments are not. You can follow all the instructions on the internet...feed your starter once a day or 15 times a day. If it doesn't happen after about 10 day it's NEVER going to happen. I'm a reasonably intelligent person, and I've been trying to get active starter for two years. I get lucky every 4-5 months. So....now I use my non-active starter for sourdough flavor with a good dose of yeast for the rise. Yeast never fails. Sourdough almost never succeeds for rising. Save yourself a LOT of time and effort and frustration.
A very nice story teller,
I will watch more that is for sure !
I like your kitchen I like your clear language and your kitchen tools I like all
Thank you so much 😊
Thanks!
Thanks so much!
great clear video i love baking breaf and excited about sourdough journey best wishes from ga
Please don't bother. It's just not worth it. You're likely here because you've failed and are looking for help. You won't find it. Most environments simply aren't conducive to sourdough creation and maintenance. Homes these days are too clean. In the 1800s kitchens were nasty, with bacteria flying all over the place. This was GREAT for sourdough starters. These days homes are clean and disinfected. Those who can get sourdough to double or triple in size are very lucky. Most of us will never get that to happen. Just use yeast for rise and flat, non-active sourdough (about the best you'll ever get) for flavor. The search for genuine sourdough rise will just leave you mad and frustrated.
Zoe do you sell hashishe?? You sound too mellow n relaxed
HI Zoe! Do you have to add the flour and water each day at the same time of day as when you started?
Hi Zoe! Thank you so much for doing this video. I’m an avid cookbook addict but learn so much more when I’m seeing your processes. But could you tell me where did you get your scales from. I love the size and how well you can see the display. Would really appreciate your help 😊
I'm so glad my videos are helpful! Here is a link to my kitchen scale. It is an affiliate link. Cheers! amzn.to/3VzM0iq
Any plans for another season of Zoe Bakes?
Hi. I would love to create more! If the network asks, I will do more in an instant. I'll keep you posted! Thanks for asking! Zoë
I would like to try but look to complicate. Zoe your t-shirt with the picture from your book is awesome ❤. Thank you for compartir all your knowledge with us.
Oh no, I didn't mean to make it seem complicated, I just wanted to show some of the signs people have mentioned when making a starter. At the end of the day you are just adding flour and water to a jar for several days. It's so simple and fun to do. I hope you give it a try just for curiosity if not for the bread! Cheers, Zoë
and my husband designed the T-shirt! :)
@@zoebakes thanks for giving me confidence ♥️
Okay I have a question I Hooch is Butt It is Yellow Do I have to get rid of it
Great video! I started with your “The New Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day” starter instructions which suggested a little different ratios, and so far (2ish weeks) I haven’t had much success (looks a lot like your second example). I am excited to try it again with your video tips. But I’m curious, can I start with 100% whole wheat rather than all purpose/mix or do you think that might be what’s giving me the trouble? Thanks!
Apparently, all I had to do was ask the question, because I came home that same day to find my reluctant starter had doubled! Yay! Clearly, 100% whole wheat was not an issue. The experiment continues!
Hi Zoe. I'm finding it hard to get rid of all the flour lumps when feeding my starter. Should I worry about lumps?
HELP!!My starter is growing and bubbly but not floating. What am I doing wrong? 😂it’s been almost 2weeks
Did you write out the starter recipe? I can’t find it
