This is how You make the best and most active sourdough starter from scratch. This outstanding and easy to follow recipe will reward you with a worldclass sourdough starter every time. This full masterclass contains many years of sourdough baking experience condensed in a single video. Everything will be covered from start to finish. I am feeding my sourdough with both whole rye and whole wheat flour. Rye works best in my opinion, but wheat will also work. You can change the flour as you go. In fact I like to feed a variety of flour just to create a more diverse sourdough culture. All you need is around a week of time, flour and water. Once you finished you can start baking sourdough bread like our ancestors did. A sourdough is a blob of dough that contains a lot of wild cultivated yeast and bacteria. Rather than buying yeast and adding that yeast, you will take a part of that sourdough and mix it to the bread. The process is a little slower than with yeast, but you will have a slight sour note that creates superb taste. Day 1: - Mix 50 grams of whole wheat or rye flour with 50 grams of water. Cover it up so it does not dry out. Day 2: - Take 50 grams of the starter from day 1, place it in a new jar. Add 50 grams of flour and 50 grams of water. Repeat every day until your dough doubles in size within 5 hours. Then you are ready to bake your first bread. Don't discard any of the starter that you no longer need. You will pile up quite a lot of it. That's normal. Store it in a jar inside of the fridge and then every now and then bake this amazing discard starter bread out of it: https://youtu.be/7V3FyVzzVUI.
