  1. THANK YOU! It’s madness throwing away the thing you are creating as an ingredient to make the thing you are creating! Literally nobody did this back in the day. It’s right up there in marketing along with an engagement ring being “two months salary”

  2. Why do i never see videos about how you start a sourdough? Instead i know 50 different ways to make bread, and three different ways to take care of (or revive) a starter.. i still don't know how to start a starter xD

  3. You can use the same method with live yoghurt – when you're down to the last couple of tablespoons refill the yogurt tub with milk that's been heated to 180f and allowed to cool to body temperature. Give it a good stir and leave it in a warm place overnight, the warmer it is the more it will ferment but don't let it get too hot or the bacteria will die. I leave it on a shelf next to the stove for 12 hours till it's solid like set custard then chill it in the fridge before straining through a very fine cloth that's been boiled to sterilise (one of those blue n white checkered cleaning cloths) to finish with a lovely thick creamy tangy yoghurt.

  4. The scrapings method is what I learned on my own six years ago when I first made a starter. The number of times my friends have told me I’m crazy or “doing it wrong” because I refuse to be wasteful… astronomical. And here I am, six years later, with the same happy starter and increasingly delicious sourdough. 🫶🫶🫶

  5. Excellent! This is so unique and different than any other YT videos about sourdough! Not discarding and not feeding and not even retaining half the quantity for later use! Just scrapes. Now this method that appeals me most. Thank you.
    It's like making curd. Only using a spoonful of curd from the last batch to mix with warm milk and set it aside.

  6. Thank you. I watched a video a couple days ago where the young lady kept saying discard half the starter, over and over again. I asked why the waste and didn't get a reply. Then I saw another woman who has a cooking school who says she puts hers aside and uses it for baking things like flatbread. Her way makes more sense to me, as does yours.

  7. Your starter looks a lot thicker than what ive learned it should be. What your ratio of water to flour?
    Im definitely gonna use this idea (but ill still keep a couple starters going in the fridge just in case
