As a man who is trying to learn to be more self sufficient and Homestead as much as I can on my small suburban home. Thank you. I’m working on my permit for chickens and this will keep me busy until I can take my required class to complete my chicken permit.
My starter's name is Janou. I started on the day of my baby girl Janou's funeral. Almost 45 years ago now. If you take good care of the starter, it can last a very very long time. I can highly recommend it to everyone because it is the tastiest bread🍞 there is.🧡🧡🧡
I began my sourdough starter yesterday and it’s doubled in size from yesterday to today. I’m so excited I just can’t hardly even contain myself. Thank you Stephanie.
I don't know if anyone else had this issue but there was about 10-15 seconds of black screen/ no sound video right about the time you were talking about the little yeast packets. I thought something happened to my phone! I backed up the video and it was definitely the video. I hope to try this later this fall when things slow down for me some. Thanks for a great tutorial!
I absolutely loved that your kitty and dog and family members just casually strolled in and out during your recording! That’s a true indication of a loving and happy environment. Thank you for the tutorial !
Love the rubber band idea. Dry erasure didn’t work for me so I will be using rubber bands from now on.also glad you mentioned chlorine. It is a starter killer for sure.
Hi Stephanie………Thank you so much for your clear, very understandable instructions 😊. I have been baking bread for many years, but when trying to make a starter had problems. Tossed lots of failed starters which were costing time and money😢. However, I came across your channel, your wonderful explanation and charming personality. I thank you for sharing your steps as I have regained my confidence again 😊. Than you and God’s blessings to you all 🙏
Great video Stephanie what a fantastic video. Now Megan is going to have lots more friends. Great step by step guide. Have a great day take care and God Bless. 💕🙏🧑🏻🍳
Great step by step video. The only thing I know is my grandmother always had better rise when using a wooden spoon. The metal spoons seem to slow down the rising process. I know from years of making starters every time I used a metal object the rise was not as fulfilling as with wooden spoons. I have tried 2 batches identical except 1 used metal spoon other used wooden. The wooden spoon had better rise, more activity, and a better flavorful finished product. Just letting you know. Grandma said it was because metal was colder so it slowed it down each time.
I know that metal will react with the acid in tomatoes so it's possible that the metal is reacting withe the bacteria in the starter which, in turn, alters the taste and finish of the starter.
Yep. It’s been more than a ‘hot minute’ here on this whole process! I DO want to let you know? My ‘starter’? Yep, his name is Steve. 😂 Steve the starter sourdough! Thanks ‘Steve’! 😘🥰❤
Not gonna lie I am still nervous but your instructions make me feel more at ease. I need to get a scale and then I am gonna give this a go! I have wanted to do sourdough for a long time!!
I just started looking, but I’ve found lots of no-discard recipes on TH-cam for making sourdough starter. Have you tried any of them? Thank you for sharing your approach to making sourdough starter!
I started a starter last month and all was well for 4 days. It went downhill from there so I threw it out. I was very disappointed. I am going to try again using your instructions. Wish me luck. Your instructions were great.
Thank u for this video u made so easy ! Always wanted to do this ! I think here in Canada we getting covid scared again ;( I think less thing will be on shelf again . They asking us tj wear mask again ;( only in certain places thank u 🙏
Mine is named, (Maud)! Lol! I love her already!❤️ This is wonderful! ❤️ Thank you so much for the step by step instructions. ❤ I'm so excited for this new journey! ❤️
Thanks, once your starter is done do you just put it in the fridge until you are ready? Not sure on the maintenance once it is done. Thanks great tutorial.
Hi Steve😄 - I always like your videos, especially harvesting honey. Question, from someone who doesn't bake bread. Is the starter used instead of yeast?
Cool thanks for showing us this. Ok you have one upped me my dog has ate whole pan of lasagna but never a bag of flour and the lasagna was fresh out of the oven. LOL! Have a good one
Norma here. Thank you for the detailed instructions. Paw Paw never really gave a tutorial on how he makes his starter or even what starter actually is. Now I know. lol
This is great. Question: after you remove some to cook with, and feed it... do you continue on the same schedule of feeding and baking on evey 7th day?
What do you feed your dog? Might need to see if it’s getting what it needs or is your dog like my wiener dog and just likes to eat? Can’t leave bread anywhere she will eat a whole loaf!! Getting me in the mood to bake and fall is here in Missouri!!
Would be wonderful if you could add written direction in your introduction so we can print or copy n put in Our recipes. I know that’s a hassle but would be so helpful.
I've never wanted to make sourdough bread, but after your wonderful video, I will try this! I can certainly say your sourdough starter is in a much cleaner kitchen. Nothing against Paw Paw, but I think we all know... I am so happy you started your channel. I haven't missed a single one. Take care. Maybe you could show us how to do Amish bread starter too! ;)
At about 7mins and 57secs into the video when you are talking about the panic people were in during pandemic your video goes black and audio is silent until 8mins 20 secs in!!! Was that purposeful or youtube cutting that section off?
Stephanie why don't you do something more original like Amish Friendship Bread starter or Applesauce Blueberry Bread starter??? I used to sell these recipes on-line & people loved them!!! Sourdough starter & such are very common!!! Please get your cats off your table & countertops!!! That is very unsanitary baby girl!!!
I don't think you thought this out fully. You just went back and forth with instructions and really confused me... especially when you skipped a day. Also we're on day 1 and you go from talking about day 7 and what to do. Boy am I confused!
I am smiling at your cat! My cat is always jumping on top of my fridge. She knows it annoys me so I know she just want more attention from me! 😂

I like how you figured out the 1 to 1 ratio.
Great detailed instructions, you made it make sense to me. The math they are teaching kids now makes me cry too LOL

Oh no!
Norma here. Yes it happened to me as well. I thought it was my phone too. lol
It did the same thing to me! Was so weird. Did it to me in the middle of one of Jakes videos also, but, that one lasted longer. 😢
I absolutely loved that your kitty and dog and family members just casually strolled in and out during your recording! That’s a true indication of a loving and happy environment. Thank you for the tutorial !
Love the rubber band idea. Dry erasure didn’t work for me so I will be using rubber bands from now on.also glad you mentioned chlorine. It is a starter killer for sure.
Steph love watching you....from West Texas 😊
Watching from North Texas❤
Very easy to follow directions thanks! Rubber bands is good idea 👍 never even thought about myself
I think I will give this a try never done one before. Thank you Steph
Thanks for this Steph. Very easy to follow!

You all can blow up the picture & watch kitty! & hear Stephanie. Lol
This is so good, thank you for doing one step at a time! I am on day seven and not to sure what I am meant to do next!
❤❤❤
You can keep doing what you are doing or stick it in the refrigerator if you aren't ready to bake with it.
I started my Starter today 9/27, wish me luck. 😊

Inspirational video, I tried twice and failed, but you have INSPIRED me to try again your video showed me some mistakes I made. Thank You! 👍
Thank you so much. It was the best experience 😊
My virgin voyage. Here we go looking forward to this working as I love to bake loved your video. Thank you for sharing.🤠
Thank you Stephanie, you always have the best tutorials
Hi, thank you so much for this video. It’s very helpful. I’m going to start mine today. I hope I’m doing it right 🤞🤞 I m going to name mine Jasmine lo
Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I used the gallon Ziploc bags when I did this. Worked great
Thanks Stephanie, I may give this a try. I have a scale!🤗💖
Thank you so very much.
Thank you so much,I love your fur babies!
Another great tutorial! Thanks, Stephanie
Thanks want to try this
Throwing my starter out and trying this one. Wish me luck!
Thanks....great tutorial.
Thanks for the video on sour dough starter Stephanie 💙💜🙏🙏 Will check it out 😊💪
Thank you for sharing this! I’m going to start with getting a scale! Then I’ll report back! 😂
Stay safe and blessed all! ♥️🙏♥️
Yep. It’s been more than a ‘hot minute’ here on this whole process! I DO want to let you know? My ‘starter’? Yep, his name is Steve. 😂 Steve the starter sourdough! Thanks ‘Steve’! 😘🥰❤
Day 3! -100, +50h2o/+50ap
Thank you for this video. I’ve been wanting to start. ❤
Thanks so much!!
Thank you so much it has been a lot clearer to me now and now I get it
Not gonna lie I am still nervous but your instructions make me feel more at ease. I need to get a scale and then I am gonna give this a go! I have wanted to do sourdough for a long time!!
I just started looking, but I’ve found lots of no-discard recipes on TH-cam for making sourdough starter. Have you tried any of them? Thank you for sharing your approach to making sourdough starter!
Ty for your video! Just started my starter on Saturday and today just fed it! ❤
How is it going with your starter? I’m only asking because I have been having real trouble with mine for the past 6 weeks I started Iike 4 times
What a great video. Totally simplified for me. Just one question do I need to have the starter at room temp before using and refeeding?
I started a starter last month and all was well for 4 days. It went downhill from there so I threw it out. I was very disappointed. I am going to try again using your instructions. Wish me luck. Your instructions were great.
Thank u for this video u made so easy ! Always wanted to do this ! I think here in Canada we getting covid scared again ;( I think less thing will be on shelf again . They asking us tj wear mask again ;( only in certain places thank u 🙏
Mine is named, (Maud)! Lol! I love her already!❤️ This is wonderful! ❤️
Thank you so much for the step by step instructions. ❤ I'm so excited for this new journey! ❤️
My mother made the best sourdough rolls They were huge. I hope I can learn how to do the starter.
Thanks, once your starter is done do you just put it in the fridge until you are ready? Not sure on the maintenance once it is done. Thanks great tutorial.
Omg that cat on the fridge 😂
Steph, another awesome instructional video!! Love the rubber band tip 👍🏼
Hi Steve😄 - I always like your videos, especially harvesting honey. Question, from someone who doesn't bake bread. Is the starter used instead of yeast?
I am going to try this 😊
Cool thanks for showing us this. Ok you have one upped me my dog has ate whole pan of lasagna but never a bag of flour and the lasagna was fresh out of the oven. LOL! Have a good one
You have inspired me!
Omg Steph you are amazing ❤️🐓🐈⬛🦆🚜🌻🐝🐷🐄🐄
Norma here. Thank you for the detailed instructions. Paw Paw never really gave a tutorial on how he makes his starter or even what starter actually is. Now I know. lol
All of your videos are so detailed, and I love that. Thanks for all the tips --now I feel more confident in starting my own "starter".
Very cool o watch. One day my lab ate my flour and I’m thinking why? How could it possibly have been good?
😂 crazy dogs
Hey Stephanie playing catch up I missed a couple days. Loved the video, you are amazing
This is great. Question: after you remove some to cook with, and feed it... do you continue on the same schedule of feeding and baking on evey 7th day?
You can use it daily once the starter is good and going!
So, on the 7th day, you remove some to cook, feed it, and then on day 8, you can repeat day 7? And continue this indefinitely? Just clarifying...
@@LewisAcreFarm yes. Just remove some, and feed all over again.
@thedenmanhomestead thank you! If I put it in the fridge after day 7, how many days do I need to bring it out and feed it before I can use it. Again?
I have two starters going just put them in the fridge they are bubbling like crazy had to slow it down lol
Hi 👋 Stephanie 🎉❤
I have a 13 year old Rewena bread Bug!!
Started mine with 25 grams. Didn’t want to waste so much discard.
Can you explain why we discard? Why can you not just keep feeding? I'm really curious ❤❤❤❤
You could keep feeding but you'll need a really big jar and LOTS of flour lol
@@thedenmanhomestead ahh ok thanks!
What do you feed your dog? Might need to see if it’s getting what it needs or is your dog like my wiener dog and just likes to eat? Can’t leave bread anywhere she will eat a whole loaf!! Getting me in the mood to bake and fall is here in Missouri!!
Sure wish you could have used measuring cups, spoons, I love sourdough
Can I start with whole wheat and then alternate with every feeding?
Hi, did you feed on day four? A bit confused at the stage.
Do you discard and add everyday after day two?
You said it wrong. Summertime it will ferment slower. No summer it ferments quicker!
Do you make sourdough pancakes?
Not trying to be bossy but if you use all purpose flour I would use unbleached works better i think
Tried the potato sour dough starter. What a nightmare. Lmbo.
Would love a potatoes bread recipe
I always take out when it's risen, i don't stir before removing .
Never in my 62 years have I ever heard of people naming their sourdough. But, to each his own.
Its just for fun…😋
How on earth did Luna get your flour?? 😂 is she a counter jumper? 😅 I see her in the background checking your counters😂😂😂
I started from scratch today with a new batch of starter. It seems so thick,. Is that normal?
👍
I heard that your starter needs to double in size within 4-6 hours to know when it’s ready. Is this true?
I noticed you screwed the lid on, isn’t it supposed to be loose?
Dark for me too
Have you used it in a bread machine?
Your main problem was sealing the jar tight! It couldn't breathe. You know when fermenting ANYTHING you need room to breathe!
Is there a reason why you feed your starter you use white flour instead of the wholemeal that you made it with 💜🇦🇺💜🇦🇺💜
I told my partner I wanted to call my starter Michael because he’s bubbly and he said that was so lame 😅 back to the drawing bored.
❤❤❤💯👍
The hardest part is leaving it alone, I think 🤣
Stephanie how can olives this property has a lot of olive trees
My starter is named Bubbles😅
Would be wonderful if you could add written direction in your introduction so we can print or copy n put in Our recipes. I know that’s a hassle but would be so helpful.
She has a channel that relies on viewing . If she printed it out , great for you but not for her channel.
@@BlessedBeMyDay other channels do.
Maybe on the website
You shouldn't have the ring on the jar. Just the lid so it can breathe.
I’m gonna name mines: M.A.F.O. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's paste when mixed.
I've never wanted to make sourdough bread, but after your wonderful video, I will try this! I can certainly say your sourdough starter is in a much cleaner kitchen. Nothing against Paw Paw, but I think we all know... I am so happy you started your channel. I haven't missed a single one. Take care. Maybe you could show us how to do Amish bread starter too! ;)
Wow, you're worried about pawpaw, but nothing about the cat on the counter. Amazing.
Paw Paw has a chemistry lab going over there LOL. Love Paw Paw!!
You are right! I forgot about the cat. At least (this time) it was on a different counter. @@lindamaskus5142 🙀😺
At about 7mins and 57secs into the video when you are talking about the panic people were in during pandemic your video goes black and audio is silent until 8mins 20 secs in!!! Was that purposeful or youtube cutting that section off?
7:59 to 8:17 you went dark. Missed that part. 🤷 I was taught to never use metal spoons. Always use wooden utensils.
Stephanie why don't you do something more original like Amish Friendship Bread starter or Applesauce Blueberry Bread starter??? I used to sell these recipes on-line & people loved them!!! Sourdough starter & such are very common!!! Please get your cats off your table & countertops!!! That is very unsanitary baby girl!!!
Ladies,Ladies,Ladies she is showing all levels of learners.what happened to nothing nice to say,SAY NOTHING 😊
I don't think you thought this out fully. You just went back and forth with instructions and really confused me... especially when you skipped a day.
Also we're on day 1 and you go from talking about day 7 and what to do. Boy am I confused!
I agree. She should have created a script and stuck to it. She’s doing too much thinking while speaking. The cat was entertaining.
