That was a great breakdown on starter! I've been keeping a gluten free sourdough starter since September and I never want to make bread with commercial yeast again. It is so worth the upkeep!

Thanks 🙏🏻 for busting the discard myth and simplifying sourdough🍞starter. I can’t tell you the times I have stressed and worried 😟 about whether my starter was ready, if I discarded enough, if I forgot to feed it, etc. After watching your video, I am no longer overwhelmed! I can’t wait to get baking again❤

Thank you, Anna & Hoss Tools, for this collaboration.

[@virginiarogers9564]

Thanks for the video!!

[@SherylPaulFTP]

I've been making sourdough for years, your take is interesting. I will be following your tips. Thanks and Thanks to Anna and Hoss tools

[@dawncatalano7443]

There is just something so satisfying when your working with sourdough. Making a loaf seems to take forever and is gone in a flash, but oh so worth it when you cut that warm loaf and smear some soft butter and homemade (or not) jam on there with a hot cup of tea. THAT is my love language. 🌻🍞☕

[@tammyr2966]

Mine too! Yum!

[@jeannenemmyers6580]

This is what I needed to get started with sourdough. Great info, tips, and tricks.

[@joannekeith9430]

Thanks for all the info! Very helpful!

[@susan-almosta_farm8823]

I made my own starter many, many years ago and can't even remember how I did it, lol. Now it's just me and my husband so I don't need to make bread every week or use the starter all the time. It lives in the fridge and I take it out every Monday, let it come to room temp, discard all but a 1/4 cup, add 1/4 plus 1/8 cup of flour and 1/4 cup of water, mix well, scrape down the sides and leave on the counter until it's risen to the top of the jar and back in the fridge for another week. I love sour dough and it's so fun to have the starter and share with anyone interested. And even though I don't bake with it tons like back in the day, I can't stand the thought of letting it die. It's my old friend. 😂❤ Thank you for such a wonderful video!

[@debraczahor6279]

Thank You for this informative video!
