Omg, I have read and watched videos and even have 28 jars of starter!! Today I baked 8 loaves and have 4 more prepping. Slowly twiddling away at the jars. It is a science. I would love if someone could give me a recipe, beginning with making the starter in the amount needed for their recipe, then the time slots to make bread for someone home 6p.m. – 7a.m. There must be a way. I want to get into a rhythm and lord knows I am trying everything!!!
If you need help remembering to feed it, either use a timer on your phone or coordinate it with an event that happens daily or weekly. I feed my starter while I’m waiting for my morning tea to brew and I’ve never forgotten.
I never feed my starter. I just use the scrapings from my starter jarvkeot in the fridge. It always works after putting tap water kept out for 24 hours. I shake the jar with 50g of water toll the glass is clear. Then add 50g of four and mix. After 12 to 18 hours it rises triple.
Hi @mary! Everytime I make and finish my starter outside of the fridge, when it’s bubbly, I try to do what you say and put it in the fridge. But unfortunately, mold is formed inside and on my starter 😢😢 do you know what went wrong?
You make good informational videos, but you talk way too fast in the video. Please speak at a normal speed So that we can all understand you. Thank you for sharing your videos
You can also dry some of it. Grind it into powder and put it on the freezer if you aren’t making bread every week and don’t want to feed it once a week. Just add to water. Add flour. Let it sit out for a day and it’s like brand new
Thank you for your advice. I see people putting their bread into a ribbed basket for rising. Also a cast iron Dutch oven for baking. I’m guessing they should be in ones’ kitchen 😉😉.
How I do it. I discovered it still worked when I risked it for a visitor crisis emergency. It worked, and I kept doing it. I didn’t kk ow people act6do ir. I thought I was just lazy and innovative
Really wished you could make a video of how to make your own sourdough starter with complete details, And how to know when your sourdough starter is ready for making bread, exactly what to do with it and how to store it when it’s time to take it off the counter.
I’m so happy I found you, as well as Ben Starr. I asked a friend for some starter, then was overwhelmed with the upkeep I was seeing online. You have simplified it for me. My first loaf is proofing right now. Thanks

Thank you. I knew all of this in my head but it’s nice having someone say it all so confidently and concisely.
I wish I could find a woman like this one. Beautiful and handy around the kitchen! That’s the way to my heart!
Can i freeze it?

15 days trying to have a sourdough and it is not raising enough to make bread. It is so frustrating

You didn’t give any instructions on how to maintain it lol
Wish I saw this before as I’ve been discarding some to keep good bacteria balance. Didn’t know I could store in my fridge for ages 😂
Thank you!
How do u feed the strter when u wana keep it hownmuch wter and flour once a week?
Can you send me the link for your tea towels that you put over your bread while they are proofing?

THANK YOU SO MUCH MARY FOR TEACHING HOW TO BOTH MAKE SOURDOUGH BREAD AND A STARTER ❤❤❤
WE APPRECIATE YOU SO MUCH AND YOUR EFFORTS.
Feed it once a week means taking it from fridge and give it any sugar, but how much sugar to give it, and immediately put back to fridge?

Im still confused 🙁
How many loaves do you generally make every week?
I add discard to EVERYTHING I bake and its the only way i remember to feed my starter
Such a useful tip! Most "how to make sour dough starter" strangely omit this important and useful information.
I love your towels that you use to cover your bread, where do you get them from?
Nice armpits ❤
I look for a future mate with these same characteristics: happy, bubbly, and you can make sourdough bread with her 😉
Thank you! I must say that you are very beautiful!
You have a beautiful face!
I’m so happy I found you, as well as Ben Starr. I asked a friend for some starter, then was overwhelmed with the upkeep I was seeing online. You have simplified it for me. My first loaf is proofing right now. Thanks
I’m still so confused. You need to do it dummies guide style please. No skipping steps.
Finally. Someone who doesn’t throw starter away as "discard". Pains me to see people throw it out.
Do you have to change the jar ?
Helpful, thank you! 🙏
It flattens in the fridge though
Right on! Fridge starters are the way to go!
How much starter do you discard after you take it out of the fridge, how much do you keep? 😊
Thank you ❤🙏🏼
Still confused but cute video
Mary as a kid growing up my papa made a chocolate sourdough cake. Would you by chance have a recipe?
The little bit I take out do I have to feed that to get it active to bake with ? And then do I feed what’s left over and put back in the fridge ?
Thanks 🎉
Nice instructions
What oven are you using?
There were many words but somehow I have no idea what you just said
Ive tried to make starter so many times and failed😢
I’m so confused.
Isn’t discard part of the starter?
So what is the difference between using the starter for bread and the discard??
So you put the bubbly starter into the fridge and it stays active until you use it? :0
Awesome stuff really nice. Oh also you have gorgeous hair, maybe tie it back so it doesn’t get messed up by the heat and flour etc😊
