Thank you so much for these videos. I have watched dozens of sourdough starter and how to use videos. I don’t care about the scientific physics of why and how dough ferments or exact weighing of flour and water. All I wanted was a down to earth, easy to follow way of making and using sourdough, which you provided. Thank you again for keeping it simple for us simple folks.
Awesome! I'm so glad I made it simple! I don't like fussy ha ha! Thanks so much for watching!
Ditto! Very helpful tips
Nice Lady 🙏🏻
Yes!! Me too, I’m so happy I found this video!
I appreciate the simplicity of your method and sharing your efforts with us. Our ancestors didn't have digital scales and didn't go through all the machinations I've seen in other videos. I shied away from videos who assume we're all one stir away from being PhD bakers. I wanted a recipe that just worked for this lay person.
Me too just easy ❤❤❤❤
yay!! I followed your way for the starter and hot dang mine looked just like yours the 3rd day! WOOT WOOT!! 72 yrs old and never made sourdough starter. Can't wait to make some of your recipes. thank you so much and I love your way. Gentle soft spoken, easy to listen to. No nonsense of a long talk about everything else that I did not come here for! I will be trying many of your recipes! Thanks so much and God Bless you and your family!
I’m in my mid sixties and you taught this old girl some fun magic. I always thought the sourdough starter was this not available to regular folk stuff. How wrong i was. This video of your helped me try something new and exciting. Your kind easy manner is calming and makes the prospect of success achievable. Thank you.
I think I have FINALLY found someone I can follow along with to make sourdough bread! Thank you!
Thank you so much for watching!!
I agree she does not over talk the subject or try to overhype it to get a lot of views, it's refreshing because he's keeping it real.
Finally someone who explains the concept easily!! One question where do you keep your starter in the Winter months? Does it take longer? Thank You ❤
I have to watch it over and over until I get it, thank you, you make it simple
It took 10 days for mine. I changed after a week from AP Flour to Wheat flour and started feeding it more this morning. It had grown to the top of the quart jar. I was doing my happy dance. Thanks for sharing!
Yay! Congratulations!
@@TheRoseHomestead do we discard on day 3 even if it’s clearly not been warm enough to cause it to activate much and rise? Mine still producing lots of water at the top
Did you continue do keep it on the counter for 10 days? What ratios did you use for discard, flour and water for the 10 days?

at 77yo for good-health reasons Im starting to make my OWN bread. Starting your sourdough-starter today! In fact a few days ago we started purchasing Raw Milk!!!!!!!! Thx, God Bless and I am Subscribed. Sent a Link to your Videos to my Granddaughters.
I make sourdough bread. I leave the scrapings in the jar after I have used my starter to make my bread. I put the jar with the scrapings in in the fridge for the next time I make my bread. I then feed the scrapings with 50g of bread flour and 50mil of warm water. The bread turns out beautiful. This way just seems so much easier for me.
Great tip!
To add a natural yeast to my starter I add fully ripened (in the Fall) berries from wild Oregon Grape that grow here in WA St. The berries will have a gray coating of natural yeast on them that will impart a San Francisco type flavor. That yeast only attaches itself to the berries in the Fall as they ripen. On about day 3 or 4, when it’s really bubbling I pull out all the berries. Keep feeding. The flavor is wonderful.
That is so interesting! I love this idea!
Sounds wonderful!!! Only... I live in Texas now and can not access Wild Oregon Grapes. Bummer
You have totally boosted my confidence! After ruining two starters, I think I see my mistakes. Thank you!
That's just great!
@HappyGoLucky70 would you be willing to share some of your mistakes, maybe help the rest of us to avoid immediately?
This is the best “teaching” of making a sour dough starter that I’ve seen. Thank you!
Thank you so much! I appreciate that!
I agree! 👏🏼
Happy Sunday! Can I just say you are a saint darlin! I’m going through all of these comments and questions and a lot of them are the same and you so kindly and generously answer each of them. You are a sweetheart. I am on day 2 of my starter and I am really excited. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us. 💖
What a nice thing to say! Thank you so much! Good luck with your starter. Have a great 4th!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. God bless you.
Thank you. I really can’t believe people are weighing their bread recipes and starter cultures especially for home use. Takes the fun out of it. Makes it a damn chore!
I’m a beginner at this. I had a starter but lost my starter during a storm. No power for over three weeks. I wanted to start again so I came across your TH-cam video. Thank you so much for being so simple and not so complicated. I have watched other SD videos and have heard that it’s not as complicated as some people make it seem. I’ve watched a few more of your videos. Thank you I’m now subscribing to your channel.
Thank you!!
Thank you
Same!
I guess you dont need to add yeast?
@MiaD.-vl9iy the miracle is that it collects natural wild yeast (and bacteria) from the atmosphere!
I see that you made this video a year ago, so I hope you get this message. I am new to making sourdough starters and I really appreciate your videos. It's very encouraging because other information has been intimidating. Thank you!
I'm so glad! Good luck on your sourdough journey!
I am so glad I came across your videos.
I have been intimidated about making a sour dough starter. Not anymore. Thank you so much!
Ingredients: 1/4 cup unbleached flour and 1/4 cup filtered water
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for showing how do do this without my feeling like I need a college degree to create and maintain a starter. This is the first video I’ve watched where I’m convinced I can actually pull this off. I’ve watched all three videos in the series and am ready to dive in. Love your channel and bread baking recipes, subscribed ❤️👍✌️
Thank you so much!!
I just subscribed to your channel, I’ve been dancing around making sour dough starter for years. I’ll be 74 at the end of March and I’ve never made sour dough bread. You made this starter so beginner friendly I loved it. I just started my starter, I’m on day three. I’m glad you dumbed it down for those of us who don’t need to know the history of sour dough. I’m actually an experienced cook and baker but I always thought sour dough starter seemed like a problem. Thank you and God bless you.
Came to learn the simple art of making a sourdough starter and fell in love with the birds singing in the background. This is true living!💜😇
I have watched so many videos in the last two weeks, but have settled on yours. I want to bake good sourdough bread, but these technical videos with scales and all that do nothing for me. I love yours!!!!
Thank you! Let me know how it goes!
My starter is finally showing signs of life and smells like it is getting ripe. I used some rye flour which the Beckers say can promote the process over other flours. I have named my starter Mary Rose because you taught me how to do this in such a simple and relaxed way. 🤗
Oh, wow! That's so awesome. Thank you so much!
I made your sourdough sandwich bread yesterday with the everything seasoning and it was AWESOME GOOD!!!! Thanks for an easy to follow recipe.
Yay! Doesn't the seasoning add so much flavor?? I use it all the time now!
@@TheRoseHomestead Yes. It's great. Don't know if you have them where you live, but we have store called Aldi's here in Miami, FL and that's where I got mine, for $1.00 a jar! Delicious.
@@cecepelaez I wish we had an Aldi! I usually just order mine. I would buy them all for a dollar a jar ha ha!
Mary ty you made this so easy…..ok now after the 5th day I put it in the fridge………can O make a loaf of bread or is it just good enough right now for pancakes or biscuits and not strong enough?????????? This is where I’m confused on the next step…………hope you respond or someone…..tks 🥰
You can most definitely try a loaf of bread at this point. Just be aware that with it being a young starter it may take longer to rise and it may not rise as well at first. My recommendation would be to do a same day loaf with 1 cup of starter. For instance, 1 1/4 cup water, 1 cup starter, 2 tbsp oil or butter, 1 1/2 tsp salt, and 3 to 3 1/2 cups flour. Mix together in stand mixer. Add 3 cups at first and the last 1/2 cup slowly until the dough pulls from side of mixer bowl. Let knead for about 10 minutes on speed 2. Shape into loaf shape and put in greased loaf pan. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise at room temp until it's about the top of the pan. Preheat oven to 350 F and bake 40 minutes. I hope this helps. Good luck!!
This is a great video! I’ve been looking endlessly at videos for starter recipes and so many make it seem complicated and intimidating. Not this! This took all the stress I was feeling away! Thank you!
It appears that many love throwing in the scales, and g measurements just to look smart on their videos 😂 it’s so much easier to just say 1/4C to 1/4 C.
I have listened to so very many of these videos possibly 30 yours is the best. I don't mind throwing away some starter, but not having to, is some much better. I only found one other video that also recommended refrigerating it. It's just so much easier. Also not alot of needless talking . In the beginning you need a clear perscise directions. Not confusing, YOU DID IT.
Wow, thanks! I appreciate that!
After watching so many videos on making a SD starter I landed here, and boy, am I glad I did!!
Your down to earth, easy method is just what I was looking for. Thanks to you, I just mixed up my first batch of SD starter ever in my 52 years lol I can't wait to see how it goes!
I'm hopeful that it'll turn out just fine!
That's great! Let me know if you have any questions. Good luck!!
Day two, and it looked like there might have been a bubble or two! I fed it per your instructions and stirred it well, and put the coffee filter back on, wrapped it in a dark dish towel, and put it away until tomorrow. I'm hopeful that tomorrow we have more bubbles!
This is exciting!
Day 3, and it looked just like yours did, and it smelled sour!
I discarded the 1/4 cup and then fed it, stirred it well, and put it away. I'm just curious... Is there a reason for wrapping it in a towel and putting it in a dark place?
I mean, it's working, lol, but I was jw. :)
@@MoonFlower52798 Any fermenting product does better in the dark place. You don't have to continue that, it just helps right at first. Yay! You are well on your way!
Day 4- I forgot to post, but I didn't forget it! It had some water sitting on top and not as much of a sour smell as Day 3, but I stirred it, fed it, and put it back up.
Day 5- It was kinda the same as Day 4, so I did as you said in your Day 5 instructions as I'm following along with your video from day to day. So, now we'll see how it does. :)
Loving your simple method.
Super helpful! Thank you!
I really appreciate you making these videos - you make it so easy to start - I especially like that you break it down day by day - that makes it so simple and a lot less complicated. I'm on day 4 of this video and can't wait to use the starter and make bread - so excited - thanks again.
Mary, I just wanted to thank you for this video. I have baked bread for over fifty years but I have not been successful with creating a sourdough starter. I am on the third day of your process and did the first small discard. I fed it and I looked at the starter about four hours later. To my surprise, it had doubled in size in the pint jar. I’m so looking forward to being able to bake some sourdough bread. You have made this 75 year old grandmother very happy. God bless you Mary and happy new year!
That's just wonderful!
I guess I spoke too soon. The starter despite feeding it and keeping it warm, slowly died off. It peaked on the 3rd day. I’ve tried about eight times. I guess I’m not meant to make sourdough bread.
Hope you are getting your strength back. I’ve had the dreaded bug twice. The first time was the worst. I had it during the big Texas freeze and blackout and thought I was not going to get through it. The second time wasn’t that bad. Be kind to yourself.
Thanks so much for your video! You keep it simple, and I like that!
Thank you for sharing ❤
Loved it
Thank you so much for this video. I just discovered your channel - subscribing, and about to view part 2 and 3, and check out your other videos. I very much enjoyed watching due to your calm manner and easy to understand instruction.
Oh, thank you so much!
Thank you so much! I watched your two videos for beginners and it’s given me the confident boost I needed to go for it. I like your simple method of leaving in the fridge and very little waste. I think your style fits with my lifestyle better than any others I’ve seen. I don’t want to constantly tend to it nor do I want to be discarding all the time but I want to have bread and biscuits on a regular basis from scratch. No more buying Bisquick or frozen bread dough from the store! 👍
That is awesome! Good luck on your new sourdough journey! Let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you. Love it❤
So excited ❤
Oh Mary!! Thank the maker for you and these reasonable videos!
You made this so much easier. I really enjoyed this video and I feel confident about getting started
That's awesome! I'm sure you will be a seasoned sourdough baker in no time!
Thank you! You made it so simple. Blessing to me!
Thank you for watching!
Thankyou you make it simple
Thank you Mary!
Mary, thank you for this video. I was looking for an easy way to understand and begin a sourdough starter. Your video was easy to follow. Have a blessed day.
Thanks for watching! Much luck on your sourdough adventure!
THANK YOU so much for an easy to follow way in making sourdough. I’ve been wanted to make sourdough for a while now and haven’t had the confidence with all the others videos but I’m so happy I found yours. Now Im ready to try. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much! If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Good luck!
Great thanks!
The Lord has brought me to this channel and I'm so thankful . I'm excited to try and make my own sourdough for the first time
Thank you for making it so easy!
Thank you so much for watching!
Really liked your video on beginning a starter. Easy to follow, and directions were very straightforward. Thank you.
Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you thank you! I’ve seen so many others for starter and this by far is the most simplest and basic
Oh, I'm so glad! Thanks so much for watching!
Love your videos! Thank you for sharing your homestead wisdom!
I did your basic sandwich sourdough loaf, after failing with other recipes. Yours turned out perfect, and so easy. Can't thank you enough!
Just found your channel 💖 I love good sourdough and have watched many videos and always felt overwhelmed so never attempted sourdough. This is the channel that is inspiring me to be able to finally do it. Thank you for clearly, patiently explaining each step of the process and going slow and showing each step clearly. I don't feel overwhelmed and just subscribed! Looking forward to watching more and thank you so much, love the quiet music as well, God bless you and yours!
Thank you so much!!
I am a sort of experienced bread maker but haven’t dove into the sourdough world yet so I appreciate your easy beginner’s videos! I am on the second day & easy leash so far🥰
Thank you!
Thank you for your easy-to-follow video. I to have watched dozens of sourdough videos. You helped me after having 4 half-full quart jars in the fridge trying to get a strong starter going, feeding it. So I did it. I started a small pint jar, on day 2, and began discarding it to build a strong starter. I will use the weaker starters I have going in the fridge. I want to soon see the big bubbles and hear the active starter I see in your videos. Thanks again for your videos. 💞
Thank you for watching!!
I love sourdough, but it's hard to find in a store where I live. Can't wait to try this out and start making sourdough bread again.
That's great! Good luck!
I’m so excited I’ve found your page. Thank you
Thanks!
Wow! THANK YOU!
Thank you, I find your videos much easier & less complicated to follow than the previous videos I've watched..I don't like using a scale..too technical for me..I much rather your way. Much appreciated!🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much!
Hi Miss Mary,
I’ve only recently discovered your channel and I am hooked! I’m really into the sourdough videos and am watching the making a starter video for the third time now and I was wondering what whole wheat flour you use in your starter on this video. I grind my own and have hard red, hard white, and soft white.
I fed it hard white wheat. Sometimes, I use hard red or Kamut, as well. Thanks for watching!!
Thankyou, you make this simple and easy. Much appreciated!
Thank you for watching!
I just fed mine for DAY 3! I read the comment about DISTILLED water and I wish I'd read it sooner, because I'm using it, too. Mine DID bubble this morning and seemed to look great. It has a very distinctive smell and I don't know if it's normal or if it's gone bad. 🤣🤦🏼♀️ #1 - Can I start using store-bought Spring Water now? #2 - How will I know if it's a FAILED starter? THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR KIND and PATIENT HELP. Your character really shows in these comments. It reminds me of sweet Charles, formerly of Old Alabama Gardner.🧡God bless.
Thank you so much! I would just start using spring water in the starter you already have. The smell will go from not that pleasing to a wonderfully sweet yeasty smell by day 5 to 7. I'm sure it'll be just fine to just continue with your starter and the spring water. Thanks so much for watching!!
Is there a problem using distilled water?
@sandybeach3235 when I first started with sourdough I tried distilled water with no luck. Since it's devoid of all the minerals I suspect it's not the right ph for sourdough. I'd just use filtered water or remineralize the distilled water before using.
Just made this yesterday and it’s already doing good! Thank you, I’m excited!
That's great! Yay!
I saw this video last night and wanted to let you know I will start my very first sourdough starter this morning since I found that I had an unused bag of whole wheat flour on hand! I love your videos and pray that my recipes later turn out as good as yours look! :) Thank you!
Working on it
I had to sub today! Great helpful cooking tips🙏🏻
Thank you so much for posting these time tested cooking routines.. very very helpful thank you 🤗
Thank you!
Hey, I’m new with sourdough and I made my first starter. It seems quite healthy and my first sourdough bread came out very good. My question is this.. Do you have any experience using water kefir to feed your starter? I have water kefir I use and wondering if that will improve my sourdough starter.
I haven't used water kefir in sourdough before, but, I have used whey from making yogurt and it gives it a jumpstart for sure. You could always take some starter out into another jar and try the kefir without trying it with the main starter to see how it does. If you do, please let me know!
I started my first starter yesterday!! So excited for this simple explanation. Thanks!❤
Wonderful!
So refreshing to see your down to earth approach!
Mary, when I feed my sourdough that's been in the fridge weekly, do I need to first discard a portion? If so, how much? Also, then do I need it to sit out on the counter and ferment before putting it back in the fridge?
Yes discard half and add to a separate jar labeled discard. Use it in a lot of different recipes. Feed it and let it sit on the counter 4 to 6 hours or until bubbly and active.
I have just now found your channel TYJ. I am interested to know if you have any experience with the Lord’s original flour, Einkorn. I am going to try to make a starter using it, as I have about 20 lbs. of the whole grain, and am interested to find anyone with experience with it. I agree with others that your style is one of loving simplicity, and respect for the process. Thanks for the time and effort you’ve put into these videos. I am anxious to see the next one. Enjoying you in Mexico City. 😊❤
I have baked with Einkorn quite a bit. Actually, I have a video coming next Thursday about working with whole grain ancient wheat in sourdough. I personally use Kamut, but they are very similar. Thank you for the kind comment and for watching.
@@TheRoseHomestead
I, too, have some Kamut, but, as I indicted, life styles are COMPLETELY different here in Mexico. I need to find recipes for SOFT sourdough breads; I have plenty of artisanal that no one like but me. I end up making tons of tasty croutons. 😂
We prefer the softer breads as well. The Artisan loaves are nice, but for a sandwich, there's nothing like soft sandwich bread.
Thanks for the recipe. Been wanting an easy one for a time.
Thanks for watching!
Fascinating! I can't wait to make my starter. Thanks for the great tutorial. I need to run out and get some unbleached flour. ❤
Yay! Good luck!
I am going to try your straight-forward approach but have a question - does it matter what the ambient temperature of the room is in which you let the starter percolate for the 24hrs?
I keep mine in the warmest room with a range of 68-74 degrees F. Sometimes warmer or cooler depending on the season. I haven’t noticed a big difference with the temperature swings. Hope this helps!
My house is always cold. Will the starter still "work" in an eastern, sunshiney window where the sun shines for about 3-4 hours every morning? @@TheRoseHomestead
@@norbertjacobs8016 Yes, it will work. It may just take a bit longer to ferment, but, it will be just fine.
Thank you❤
Love your videos
Thank goodness you have taken the mystery out of sourdough! I am so thankful for that. There are numerous ways of making sourdough but your's is the the lest complicated most understandable way to get what I need done. Have a blessed day!
I'm so glad it is helpful! Thanks so much!
Great videos thank you.
It's working! It is almost ready for the refrigerator. Thank you
Just watched your video of the simple sourdough loaf and asked about your starter - now I know! Will watch again. Thanks for the simplicity!
This sourdough starter is easy thanks to you! I made my first batch of pancakes and they were great! Thank you!!
Wonderful! I'm so glad!
So very straight-forward - thank you
Thank you for posting this! This is the first video that I’ve watched that helped me be confident to make my own starter!
I'm so glad!
Thank you so much! can't wait to see my progress! Day 1! :)
Thank you Mary so much! Your explanation and videos of the daily process are perfect. In fact, you have given me the confidence to attempt this. I explained to a friend about how you explain it for each day and it seems easy - so she's taking the journey with me too. I can't thank you you enough for explaining the process for each day!!!
Success story to come soon!
Wonderful! I'm looking forward to that!
Thank you so much for your videos, and the knowledge you shared on starting a starter, thanks to you my at stater is being more active than before.
Thank you so much! I’m so excited! I’m on day 3 and it looks just like yours. It’s working! 😊
Wonderful!
Thanks for your reply.
Much easier explanation than I've seen Thank you 😊
We love sourdough so I'm definitely going to try this.
Awesome!
YAY! I have starter! Thank you!
That' great! Yay!
I’ve just found your channel and I love how easy you make everything! Although my starter has never seemed to rise like yours, the process doesn’t seem as intimidating after watching you. I made my first ever no knead sourdough loaf using your recipe and it was so good! Working on my rise though! 😊
That is great!
I really appreciate how simple you teach about all this!!! Thank you so much!!!❤❤❤
I like 👍 the video and I like the other videos on different ideas to improve my own bread 🍞 thanks for your input from the uk 🇬🇧
Honestly your video is the MOST informative video I've ever seen for starter! I've watched so many videos and I can understand yours the best of all of them!
I'm so glad it was helpful!
Wow ! How easy is that? Thank you best I’ve seen
Eeeeeeee! I'm soooo excited! I'm on day 3 of sourdough starter using your method. I opened it today and it was all bubbly and looked hungry. Yayyyy! Thank you so for your great videos!
Yay! That's awesome!
Your videos are so easy to understand. Thank you so much. I will certainly follow your channel.❤
Thank you so much!
Such an easy going video, thank you are. I keep coming back to your videos when I get overwhelmed with others… I made a starter for the 1st time using this video of yours. It was successful 😊 thanks to you❤ I am now just continuing to work on my starter to build and strengthen it. Have a Merry Christmas 🎄 2023 and a successful New Year and keep on being and doing YOU❤❤
Merry Christmas and New Year to you as well! Thank you so much!
I love your table or countertops!!!
