I am in the process of making gluten-free sourdough starter from scratch and I am obsessed! It has been less than 48hrs and I am already seeing signs of life. I am so excited to make bread abominations!!

How To Increase Your Sourdough Starter - The Pantry Mama

Understanding Sourdough Starter Ratios To Increase Amount Of Starter

In general, your sourdough starter is made from equal amounts of flour and water, or thereabouts. This is called 100% hydration because the amount of water is equal to the amount of flour. You will see this referred to as 1:1:1 (starter:flour:water). It's always written in this order.

You may also come across stiffer starters like Pasta Madre which uses a 1:1:0.5 ratio or less.

If you have 50g of starter in your jar, but you would like to have 200g of starter because you want to bake a few different things then you would need to add 100g of each flour and water to that starter to make 200g (because 200g divided by 2 is 100g).

Even if you only had 10g of starter and you wanted 200g of starter, you'd just have to feed it at 1:10:10 which would mean adding 100g of flour and 100g of water to that 10g of sourdough starter. This would mean that your starter would take quite a while to peak ready for baking as it has a lot of food to get through.

You can feed your starter a different ratio if you want to. Feed your starter 1:2:1 which means you'd feed it twice as much flour as water. This 1:2:1 ration can be handy if you are trying to strengthen your sourdough starter. It will decrease the hydration though, so it's often something you just do for a few days.

i'm very happy with my rapid starter - the starter came out of the fridge at 11AM, this bread came out of the oven at 8PM

Sharing Starters and the 7th Annual Sourdough Month

The 7th Annual Sourdough Month has begun! I’ve teamed up with other fermenters to share sourdough starter, scoby, kefir grains, and more. Learn how to share and receive free sourdough starter.

Since 2017, I have declared each January to be Sourdough Month here at Twice as Tasty. What began as encouragement to fill chilly winter kitchens with the aroma and warmth of baking fermented bread—by sharing recipes and giving away the sourdough starter needed to follow them—has grown into a record-breaking annual giveaway. Hundreds of people in northwest Montana and around the world have had…

IT'S SOURDOUGH, WITCHES!

Once again I put a little wafer paper to work for some bewitched sourdough bread. I used just a basic recipe with my default method described many times in this blog of mine (click here). I lowered the hydration a bit to try to control the expansion of the design (for 500g total flour I used 335g water). I was inspired by a Halloween bread from Kelsey (@3catsandapig) to come up with my design.…

*New* Ask Me Anything: Yeast is Made of What?

*New* Ask Me Anything: Yeast is Made of What?

Kid 1.0 and I worked on a science project several years ago. The task was to collect wild yeast and then test several food sources to see what would make it grow best. This started us on an entire journey of rediscovering the wonders of wild yeast. When we talk about our experience, the main question we get asked is, “wait; you caught yeast? What is it made of?” What is Yeast Yeast is a…

Wild Yeast Capture

It's been a while since I dabbled in some wild Yeast harvesting.

While I was collecting the latest couple of forced rhubarb stalks I wondered if I could harvest something from the leaves. I know they're poisonous if you eat them but is there some wild yeasties living there that are different to the usual ones I've collected in the garden?

Well, 500ml of water boiled for 10 minutes with 45g of DME and a pinch of Yeast nutrient is the start of the answer. Cooled and then the rhubarb leaf dropped in. Now to wait and see. Not forgetting to shake up daily of course.

As has been mentioned rhubarb leaves contain oxalic acid, which is poisonous, so I removed the leaf after a day or so. Any yeast on the leaf should have moved into the starter by then anyway, but it’s just worth noting.

✨Pine and citrus fermented soda experiment✨

This summer I was fortunate enough to find a wild yeast bloom on one of my chokecherry trees. I harvested & dried those chokecherries, then soaked them in water til they fermented. Then I used that levain to jumpstart a buckwheat/sweet white rice flour gf sourdough starter. (The picture is literally day one, now it’s so bubbly it looks like hot air)

((If you don’t know what hot air candy is, oh my god run don’t walk to your nearest fancy candy store and try some NOW))

But the thing is? Right after I got this starter established, I needed to go overseas for 2 weeks and Mr61below already had far too much on his plate, so I put it in the fridge so he’d only need to feed it once. But the cold really did a number on it, and it took me two whole weeks to get it bubbly again. I was legit concerned I’d gone and fully killed it. But, now it’s happily churning away again, and this is my second loaf made with this baby.

#meanwhile in minnesota #adventures in baking #sourdough #cw food #food sensitivities #due to Mr61below’s health issues we haven’t had yeasted bread in like… 8 years now? he’s got BAD food sensitivities #but my logic was ‘this is wild yeast in our yard literally it’s already here so it’s likely he’s already been exposed to it enough that #he’ll be okay with it! and IT WORKED #meanwhile I’m happy af to be able to work this bushcraft #I also threw in a few of the buckwheat groats I was actually able to glean but for fuckin real FUCK bakers creek their seeds are garbage #’ooh look we’ve got a pretty pink buckwheat! … wait you want to actually h a r v e s t? uh that’s .. uh but look! FLOWERS!

[bogsuckerecologist]

I have the distinct feeling that all the wild yeast starter recipes I've tried ultimately failed because they're written at more northern latitudes. It's literally only day 3 and my current sourdough starter is doubling over the span of 24 hrs and only getting faster

#looking back everything I've tried with wild yeast seems to reach readiness in a little over half the time called for in recipes #but me having never done this before assumed that it probably wasn't QUITE done yet #and then they die from alcohol overproduction... #will just have to keep a closer eye on them!! #i speak

Sourdough Power Waffles

I make sourdough waffles when my starter needs an energy boost, but it’s the homemade toppings that really give these waffles their “power” name. Learn to make Sourdough Power Waffles.

When you think of sourdough, you probably picture a loaf of tangy, tasty bread. But you have so many more ways to use sourdough, as I’ll be sharing all month in my Twice as Tasty column for the Flathead Beacon. Some of my favorites can use what many people call sourdough discard. I consider the word “discard” to be a misnomer, because I never actually throw out starter—even when I’m waking up a…
