    I started my own "starter" 20 years ago. Still going strong. Still doing what it needs to do.  Love these vids. Thanx for posting

    I make sourdough weekly while listening to history podcasts and YT videos. <br><br>A good tip is you can keep the starter in the refrigerator to slow it down without killing it; feed it weekly and take out of the fridge the day before using.

    My sourdough bread tastes so much better and makes me feel nourished. &nbsp;I slightly sprout my grains, then dehydrated them, then wait just before I’m going to bake before milling the grains into flour. &nbsp;I also mix in the ancient grains emmer, khorasan, einkorn, and spelt. &nbsp;Flavorful and healthy. &nbsp;Bread finally makes me feel very good again. &nbsp;For my noodles I use 50% organic all-purpose flour, 25% freshly milled Durham wheat, and 25% freshly milled Khorazan wheat.

    Hyped! I&apos;ve been baking my own bread for almost 50 years and don&apos;t remember the last time I bought it at the store. Thank you, I absolutely love your video!

    After loosing my original Sourdough starter, I paused for a good two years. Thanks to your tip, I started to grow another one two weeks ago, and it works really well. If I know, that I don&apos;t need to bake, I keep it in the fridge after feeding it the first time after saving. It works so well! Thank you very much❣️🇫🇮👋😊

    Great history. Thank you. I’m baking my own sourdough English Muffins and focaccia for about 2 years now. I’m so spoiled and don’t like store bought bread so much.

    My favorite sourdough recipe for bread consists of 40% organic white bread flour, 12% hard red wheat, 12% hard white wheat, 12% einkorn wheat, 5% spelt wheat, 5% khorasan wheat, 5% oat flour, 5% barley flour, 4% emmer wheat, and 3% rye. &nbsp;All my whole grains are sprouted first, then dehydrated, then milled into flour on the day I bake.

    <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaJrIQ_HPDA&amp;t=390">6:30</a>... For those thinking of trying this, let me assure you that Sourdough Starters are very forgiving! They will not die if frozen, as he claims here. Just thaw and feed several times throughout the day. It will bounce back! Ask me how I know! 😊 I store mine in the fridge. Feed and let warm a bit, getting good and &quot;happy&quot; (bubbly) before using. After using, back into the fridge it goes. It will stay dormant for months! <br><br>I had never thought of using a piece of the dough as a Starter. Interesting.
