Ever since you shared the tip of adding flour without mixing and storing in the fridge, I’ve been able to store my starter for a year without even opening it. Used it a few weeks ago. It’s perfect. I can’t thank you enough ❤️
❤❤Thank you Anna! For sharing your many sourdough tips! My starter is less than four weeks old and I really appreciate all the experience you have shared! 🍞🥖❤
Thanks so much for the tip. This tip really saves me from giving up making sourdough bread. Just wonder how often I should move the starter to a new jar. Thanks again! ❤
hi Anya, well i started a sourdough starter like you advised and for the first three days nothing happened then on the fourth afternoon when i went to stir it i had a nearly full jar of starter all bubbly and active, i have not as yet made a loaf but i will be using your method when i do
I make a Danish multigrain bread similar to yours, and I never bother feeding the dormant rye sourdough that I put into it. It just goes from the fridge into the soaker and that's it. I discovered this by accident, and now I do it on purpose.
Love it! Simple and to the point. I tried to get a starter going 2 years ago, went through 2 bags of King Arthur flour to no avail🤦♀️ I have no been backing SD since September because of your advice. Thank you so much!! My favorite is a buttermilk sourdough sandwich bread and I make it weekly.
I made this starter and the first loaf was fabulous. I then added lots of flour as you show in the video and left it in the fridge. 17 days later I went to revive my S.D. starter to bake another loaf, but found it very difficult to get the starter smooth after adding and mixing water (gradually) and had a lot of big flour lumps in it which did not come out. What did I do wrong? I followed your instructions faithfully. Thanks very much.
I sometimes get lumps, too. They don't bother me. However, you can start reactivating it a bit earlier in the evening and try to break up the lumps some more with a fork in the morning. Hope this helps ~ Anja
Dear Anja, thank you so much. Ive been following your method now. Right now I have some inactive starter sitting in the fridge. So, if I want to make pancake with that inactive starter, what is the formula in order to get that 2 cups starter?
Thank you so much for your comment. Due to the overwhelming number of comments I get, I can no longer answer them all.

One of my starters turned a little grey. Is that ok? I just added water and got as smooth as I could. The other one looked kinda green, like mold. I found some white in the middle and took it out, and fed. Threw the rest away. Is this ok? Thanks much!
Hi Debra, unfortunately it's so hard to give you good advice without seeing your starters other than erring on the side of caution. I think you would get so much out of my sourdough course (with the access to my private FB group where I can help you even better): supersimplesourdough.teachable.com/p/super-simple-sourdough Hope this helps 👍 ~ Anja
Thought everything was going well until I found mould growing inside ( on the sides of my jar). Do I need to be moving the starter to new clean jars every few days? Haven’t had this happen before when trying the “more traditional” discard method. Any suggestions would be appreciated!!
There are a lot of reason why mold could form such as soap residue in the jar. If it happens again, you might consider enrolling in my online sourdough course where you can get more personalized attention from me: supersimplesourdough.teachable.com Hope this helps ~ Anja
I like the taste of regular bread. I made my first loaf of sourdough and it had a slight tang. Is there a way to make a sourdough bread that taste like regular yeast bread without the tang?
@@tammyinwv1 then it would be best to get a long fermentation. I recommend a higher fermentation temperature, adding a bit more salt, and not using whole grain flour (maybe adding a bit of oat flour) to get a milder bread ~ Anja
Hello, I so enjoy your videos. Been watching them for weeks over and over lol and last night I got the courage to at least begin my starter.... I woke up this morning excited thinking there was gonna be some kind of rising or bubbling or anything..... And nothing absolutely nothing😫 Please tell me what I did wrong😭 I started with a 1/2 a cup of rye flour and Half a cup of all purpose flour and one cup purified water.... Next I covered it overnight and nothing😫 Help tell me what to do or what I did wrong.
I established a starter using your buttermilk method and have been baking sucessfully with it, however it often has an alcohol or acetone smell when I take it out of the fridge. Is this normal and okay? I've heard that means it needs to be fed, but it that really an issue with this method?
That often is a sign that it needs more flour so yes, feeding it would be good. There are so many variables in sourdough, you just need to look at it and decide what it needs at any given moment ~ Anja

Love your sour dough info. I’ve now made my own starter and made an awesome bread with it. Also used it to raise some pancakes. Playing with it. Thank you for the recipe list 😁
Those are Caraway seeds that contain essential oils that can stimulate the growth of beneficial lactic acid bacteria and yeasts that are responsible for fermenting the dough. Additionally, caraway seeds contain enzymes that can help break down complex carbohydrates in the flour, making it easier for the yeast and bacteria to digest and ferment. 😊 ~ Anja
I am struggling. Both tries unsuccessful. 3rd day mold around rim. Buttermilk is fresh. Brand new whole weed flour. Clean jar not to tight lid. What am I doing wrong? Help please

Just freeze it and it lasts way longer.

Will this method work for gluten free starters?

Sounds great!

When would you add a little yeast to help get it rising and how. Just add to starter?
Just when you start mixing the dough ~ Anja

Hi back to Kathmandu! Have you seen this video: ruclips.net/video/mdh9YtdaAtk/видео.html 😊 ~ Anja
@@OurGabledHome -Thank you so much.
Anje, I just started a grape wild yeast sourdough a couple days ago. Strictly an experiment, but I wondered if you’ve ever ventured into fruit yeasts?
Hi Judy, I have not ventured into using fruit to make a sourdough starter but it definitely sounds intriguing 👍 ~ Anja
After 6 weeks in the fridge do I wake it up and feed it to put it back in the fridge at that time?
Yes, if you'd like to keep it there longer
thank you for sharing your method with us.
My pleasure!

It depends on whether you're looking for the health benefits of sourdough or not 🤔?

Hello Anja! In the same way you use culrured buttermilk in your SD starter, could one use kefir?
Enjoying your channel!
Thank you so much! And yes, you can use kefir: ruclips.net/video/whGTP6YkRzg/видео.html 👍 ~ Anja
Does method # 1 work with any kind of sourdough starter? You mentioned you had two starters so I’m guessing you use this method for both.
Yes, that works with any SD starter
