- Welcome to my channel! If you’re ready to explore the world of sourdough baking, you’ve come to the right place. In this video, we’re kicking things off by creating a sourdough starter, the essential “mother” ingredient that gives sourdough bread, sourdough-cinnamon bread, sourdough pancakes, and sourdough biscuits their irresistible aroma, texture, and flavor. We are doing this with “no discard”!
What You'll Learn:
How to Make a Sourdough Starter from Scratch: Discover a waste-free method to create a healthy and active sourdough starter.
Why You Should Avoid Discarding Starter: Learn why traditional discard methods can be wasteful and how you can avoid them.
Step-by-Step Guide: Follow my easy process to build a thriving sourdough starter.
Why Choose This Method?
Traditionally, sourdough starter recipes involve discarding a portion of the mixture daily, which can be wasteful. I’ve developed a no-discard method that starts with just 5 grams of King Arthur Bread Flour and 5 grams of water. This efficient approach ensures that every bit of your starter is used.
Timeline and Tips:
Many recipes promise a sourdough starter in 5-7 days, but our 9-day approach gives you a more reliable outcome. This extra time accommodates variations in conditions, such as a cold house or missed feedings. With proper care, your starter will be a one-time investment for a lifetime of delicious baking.
If your starter isn’t doubling or tripling in volume by day 7, the issue might be with the water rather than the flour. I’ve experienced issues with poor-quality water in the past, so using good water is crucial. All you need is good tap water. Do not use reverse osmosis water!
Pro Tip:
Avoid the mistake of using all your starter for baking and having to start over.

You are absolutely precious! This video was all over the place, but I smiled and laughed throughout the whole thing. Yes, I watched all the way to the end! I agree with your idea of not doing the discard step. I'm currently in the process of making a new starter. You were very helpful and please keep on making videos. I love your personality! 🥰
YOU are too nice. Thank you so much. I'm glad you were laughing and learning throughout. I know the video was all over the place...I'll learn (hopefully) what works and what people like. Thanks for watching. Have the best day ever!
My refrigerator will be my friend🥰to keep me from discarding and wasting flour. After I feed the starter, I will let it rise then I will store it in the refrigerator until a week or so then bring it out to start the process. I used to stress 😢but now I understand that only a small amount of starter is needed,
Glad you have a plan! I actually feed the starter and put in right in the fridge if I'm not going to use it...not let it rise first. Does that help? Have a great day!
Love the making sought starter.
It so much fun, relaxing and rewarding. Happy Baking!
My favorite points are start with a very small amount of flour and water (5 grams) and I like the containers and lids you used. No narrow openings to deal with!
Thanks for the message. Are you going to give it a try? It's so easy, once you have it down. It does take some time, but the flavor is worth every minute spent? How would you use yours...bread, pizza, pancakes, etc...??? Have a great day!
I'm following your starter to removing 90 gr. that's going into a container and placed in fridge for??? Then you mention the remaining 450 grams is for making bread and the video shows its in two containers. Is the 450 split into these two containers. or is one the 90 and the other is the 450? Appreciation your help clarifying. Then I think I need to feed the starter when I want to make the bread but which one am I feeding the 90 gr or the 450. Sorry I am lost here. My first starter
@@roxanneloyst3733 thanks for watching! I showed both the 90 and 450. You can use the 90 to feed and make bread again n a few days, or you can put it right in the fridge. The 450 is what you make the bread with now. I’m so excited for you…let me know how it works out! Happy Baking!
@@roxanneloyst3733 I also posted a video about dehydrating…you may want to watch.
Me too love sourdough!
Awesome, thanks. Are you going to make it?
I have a starter in my fridge now.
Did you make it from scratch...just wondering...did you throw any away during the process "discard" ?
@ChefNickyMorse someone gave me the starter. I've never thrown any away and I've only fed my once. I've never fed it daily. It sat in the fridge for a week the first time and it made two really good loaves.
@@vickieeasterday6328 sounds like it's working for you...that's awesome. I'm working on some tthis weekend.... hope you have a fun weekend!
This video confuses everything. So much better if you stuck to the topic of sourdough
Very confusing. Glad I didn't find this video first or I would have given up before I even started. But I agree with starting with small amounts.
@@coolgirls4855 I’m so sorry I confused you…some people lived it, others wanted it more to the point. I may have to look for a balance.
8 minutes in, and still waiting to hear about sourdough...
Hi, thanks for your comment. I did stretch this video out a little...trying things out and having fun. I'll send you two links that consolidate the recipe for no discard sourdough starter and a recipe making two loaves with that starter. Have a great day!

This is the recipe to making two loaves of sourdough bread with the no-discard sourdough starter I made in the other video: instagram.com/chefnickymorse/reel/Cq9Q3zysAG9/
10 minutes of nonsense before getting to the point. You would do well, I think, to make shorter videos. A minute or two each should suffice.
Thanks for your reply. I decided to play around with this video and wanted to know people's thoughts...I hear you! I did post very short and to the point videos on Instagram you can look at, if you like. I will send you the links. Have a great day and Happy New Year!
