Here's a link with a video on making REAL sourdough with no packaged yeast in it.. Grin

LOL It is pretty informative...technique wise. I have come across so many different recipes in my sourdough research. Some with milk, some without, some with packaged yeast, some without, some with bleachy white flour, some with rye and whole wheat... Roll Eyes

Sourdough & Yeast Free Bread: Recipes & Hints
« Reply #92 on: July 16, 2009, 11:09:20 AM » by tynnille

Alright...I wasted 13 cups of flour to maek sourdough bread and it did not come out well at all! I really want to learn how to make it well and found this link from the Above Rubies friends, but my bread completely failed. (the recipe was also in the last issue of the magazine).
I started my own starter and it appeared to be bubbly and frothy. I used the recipe she gave me and thought I made it wet enough......what shoud I do?
Should I try again once I have enough starter....I just don't want to waste so much material. Really it is more the Spelt since it cost twice as much as rye. Maybe I will try it with wheat next, just in case.
DO you think I could half the recipe? SO, if it fails I will only wast half as much?

Well, any suggestions from people who sucessfully make a non-yeast, non-sugar, whole grain sourdough would be much appreciated.

I'm sorry about the wasted ingredients - I have done that plenty of times. I tried the "start your own" method and it never worked. Recently, a friend passed along some of her sourdough starter which she purchased from King Arthur Baking Co. and uses it to make the Nourishing Traditions sourdough spelt bread. It is wonderful! I have used it to make 100% rye (which we didn't like as much as a mixture) and more often, a mixture of either wheat, rye and white. I would be happy to pass some along. I guess you could PM me - I have never really done that, but it is probably pretty simple. I am the technologically inept one of the family

I didn't see this youtube sourdough tutorial from Serene Allison posted here. I bought the grains and will be making this recipe soon. I'll let you know how it works out!

well, i just made it this morning, and it fell at 6 hours. when i looked at it at 4 hours it was level with the top of the pan. then at 6 hours it was 1/2 in. below. i have been feeding my starter with directions from somewhere else, so am going to do it her way this week, then try again. also, might use the mixer, cuz i wasn't very diligent with kneading it, we just stirred it up good and put it in the pans. so, not a great turnout this time. think i need that video! thanks!

the videos were good, though they looked just like mine did when i put them in the pans. i would like to see them after baking or rising. not sure what i'm doing wrong. maybe need to order new starter.

just thought i would add that these loaves are really bad and i don't think we are even going to eat them. the flavor isn't good even, and they are holey and crusty around the edges and sharp corners and flat on top. yuck. we have eaten way too many bricks since i started making bread, not this time!!!!

just wondering if anyone knows, if it's ok, to add a powdered starter (mail ordered) to an existing starter to make it more powerful? my starter is bubbly, just doesn't seem very powerful, the rise not very full. when i first started making it, it was VERY full beautiful loaves, so i thought getting some new starter would help, just don't want to throw out the old.

Don't have experience with adding fresh to an old culture in bread, but it can work beautifully in dairy culturing. The old brings a variety of bacteria which often is what gives your particular sourdough it's unique flavor and the new can add balance and strength to the bacteria that give the most rise to the dough.

That said, if your old batch has been giving you bread with off flavor you might just want to start over with the fresh.

thanks boysmama! no, the flavor is great, it is just taking a lot longer to rise than it did at the start and i gave up and baked it cuz i was afraid it would fall if let go too long. exactly what did you mean for "dairy culturing"?

I bake Whole grain Sourdough bread / only / nothing else tastes better, in my humble opinion.
I use sourdough with wild yeast. It lives in my fridge for the last 3 years.
Many friends asked me for my recipes and so my business got started / to teach whole grain sourdough bread baking.

Just now saw this. I meant making cultured dairy products- buttermilk, cheese, etc.

anyone know how to make sourdough bread with whole grains? i have an ultra mill. my hubby LOVES to have homemade sourdough to dip in olive oil with spices. he was hoping i could find a more healthy alternative, any suggestions before i start experimenting? thanks! Grin

I bake only whole grain sourdough bread. My sourdough lives in my fridge, for the last 3 years. I mixed water and flour and after keeping it warm and feeding with flour I had sourdough. The first one didn't work out since I didn't catch the right bacteria. I don't really understand why someone would make a starter with yogurt or yeast, since you have to make it each and every time fresh, before you bake. I only feed my sourdough after I used some for baking, that's it / I put it back into the fridge after it has risen enough.
Sometimes I bake bread with sourdough and yeast, other time I only use sourdough, no yeast. It has to ferment longer than yeast bread, but it is well worth it. When I bake sourdough bread, I use the time it is fermenting for cleaning or I go shopping for hours. I love the way it always works out. When I come home the dough is nicly risen and I can form the loaf and bake it.

I sell dried sourdough also. My recommendation is. Take your sourdough out of the fridge, divide it in two glass jars, feed each with 3 Tbs. of flour or up to 1/2 cup, if you have enough space. Add filtered water, mix . Make sure you have a peanutbutter consistency. Let it sit in a warm place / maybe next to your oven, until you see bubbles throughout the whole dough. Only then put it into the fridg. Cover the glass loosly with the lid, do not tighten it all the way. Also, when you store it in the frifge, don't tighten the lid.
If you would like to see the pict. of my sourdough, go to wheatandsourdough.com

good luck, let me know how it turned out.
