to make a starter you basically mix any ground grain 1:1 with water and let it sit in a room temp spot for 24 hours. wild yeasts will infect your mix and gently caress it uop!! in a good way

pour out half and repeat with 1:1 water/flour (a cup or a deciliter water/flour) the next day

repeat this process for 5-10 days until it's very light and bubbly

there wont be a proper sour smell unless you let it sit for longer than 24 hours so if you want that taste in your bread let it sit longer before using in a dough

edit: also you can test if your starter is ready by spooning out some into a cup of water, if the mix floats it's ready (it's all the CO2 trapped inside)

this is what my sourdough starter looked like 2 days ago. i overfed it and it rose out of the tiny jar (removing that mess from wood took a while) so i moved it to a bowl instead :)

is eating sour bread a thing people do?

sourdough isnt actually sour, only bad sourdough is

the tiny bit of acidity in it makes your saliva flow when you chew it so you never feel like "man i need a drink to wash this down"

also sourdough is way easier to digest than regular bread, the long rising process lets the yeasts break down more of the stuff in flour.

i feel way way better after eating sourdough than regular bread, hell i avoid regular bread these days

also its fun!

is the smell of warm bread worth buying a breadmaker for?

im not getting up at 4am or doing literally any preparation at all in order to make bread by hand, i aint got loving time for that poo poo

but for ages i've been thinking of buying a breadmaker go i can just toss some ingredients in there at 10pm in 30 seconds and at 6:30 when I get up the house will smell of amazing fresh bread

but it's a bit of a jump to spend £100 on a house smell

if you're fine with eating regular quick yeast bread then yeah i guess. why not try sourdough. you literally only need flour and water to make it

also time. a lot of time. so god drat much time

the recipe in the op is super duper lazy. buy a cheap kitchen scale, maybe a rising basket, also helps to have a dutch oven or a big pot for baking. the actual work takes like 10-15 minutes, most of it is waiting on the yeast to do its thing

as for the starter just feed it before you go to work, or when you wake up. any time, all you have to do is keep feeding it every 24 hours. it's like a very non-demanding pet!!

Thank you! I've been wanting to do this since I saw Cooked on Netflix. I could never find anyone that said how to make your own starter.

put a tea towel or a loose bit of plastic clingwrap over it.

To keep bad things out.

yes

also once the sourdough begins to ferment, it will effectively render it sterile to other contaminants, nothing else will be able grow, no e-coli or HIV or ebola orwhatever, it's just safe

yea, this yeast will gently caress anything else up.

Just get married. I'm pretty sure it's mandatory that every newly married couple receive a breadmaker as a wedding gift.

I don't know if this applies across the pond, though.


This is why I just use a breadmaker. I like sourdough, but I don't want to gently caress around with actually making it.

dont you know how bad instant rise bread is for you though

compared to the noble ancient sour dough..

i use a cast iron dutch oven

pre-heat the dutch oven, plop bread in, spray some water into it, close, open lid, spray water into oven, take out

i use parchment paper in the dutch oven for non-stickage

50:50 white and whole wheat flour, 80% hydration, 15% jalapeños seeded and chopped (I like a mix of rings and maybe 1/3 finely chopped but not quite diced so you get good flavor throughout and good bites of jalapeño), 15% cubed sharp cheddar, 30% grated sharp cheddar, like 30% starter, and some salt. Autolyse for 1 hour, then add the grated cheese with the salt and starter. Add the cubed cheese and jalapeños when it's relaxed a bit after the second fold (just gently squeeze it into the dough w your hands until it's all mostly incorporated, you don't want to cut the dough at this point). Give it 4-5 folds overall, divide and shape when a bit more than doubled, proof overnight in the fridge. Sprinkle with grated cheese right before baking.

bread #6, best one yet hands down

this time i didnt use any parchment paper in the dutch oven which gave it a really nice uniform shape, i also used the "towel flop" technique to toss it straight in. instead of a few cuts on the top i did one lengthwise

what kind of dutch oven do you use? A pic or amazon link would be handy



just a simple cast iron one, got it from my mother who had no need for it anymore.

it bakes pretty perfect size loafs, i guess a larger one would be fun, maybe a large round one but eh they're wicked expensive new and this works

added a peach next to it for scale

some people use cheap paving stones from like home depot to bake on. if you do use one of those make sure to add a lot of moisture during baking, i like tossing in ice cubes after i open the lid on my dutchie

I keep my starter in a closet above my fridge, there's a bunch of extra spill heat from the compressor there so it super thrives.

Also a good place to put your dough for rising if you want a less sour bread, fast rise = less of the sour lactic bacteria stuff. Feeding/mixing your starter daily also helps with this because the bacteria doesn't like oxygen.

Made some dough before going to bed last night, it's so easy with a kitchen scale! Takes like 5 minutes. Going to bake it later today :)
