No Waste Sourdough Starter: Keep It in Your Fridge and Never Discard Again!

In this video, I'll show you a zero waste method for maintaining your sourdough starter without discarding any of it.

Instead of throwing away excess starter, I'll show you how to keep your starter in your fridge and still use it to make delicious sourdough bread.

I'll walk you through the process of maintaining your sourdough starter in the fridge and how to revive it when you're ready to bake.

By the end of the video, you'll have all the information you need to maintain your sourdough starter in a sustainable and efficient way. Plus, you'll see how EASY sourdough can be!

I also have videos about using sprouted whole grain flour!

At last a no-nonsense video that works. Thank you and I hope that you have fully recovered from your surgery.

I've started two starters, Jack and Jill. It's not hard to do. It just takes some patience and learning your starters' needs. Like Jack is a growing boy and it took more food for him. Jill, not so much.

My starter is almost 50 years old. I’ve never had to ‘discard’ anything. I keep mine in the fridge. It’s active. Grams? I don’t even measure. I feed it about 1 c flour and little less water. I have one jar. When I want bread of some kind. I feed it a few times to get enough to make bread and make sure it’s really active. I do that in my mixer bowl, keeping my starter jar in the 7:37 fridge and my bread bowl on the counter. I use it at least twice a week.

[barbaratankersley]

That was really helpful to not end up with so much discard. Common sense!

[patriciabeetschen]

Yes but how do you start your starter? When do you put it in the refrigerator…day 1 or 2 or when?

[atripp]

What low glycemic index THM flour to use or a gluten free flour to use?
Is using gluten free flour the same process?
Super great video :)

[pstein]

How do you feed twice? Do you add to the jar or do the 1:2:2 ratio again? And when do you do the second feeding?

FANTASTIC INFORMATION. So happy I found you. I was given a SDS from the Original Oregon Trail 2016 and have been baking SD Breads Weekly. Love it. Thank you so much
for all your information. I am checking out your recipes and the flours you use. YOU HAVE MADE SOURDOUGH MAINTENANCE SIMPLE. WONDERFUL....I have learned a lot.

[shumpertshill]

Do you have a video that shows how you made with your starter?

[ChefAsher]

Thank.. just couldn't figure out why waste all that good stuff. Do you ever feed sugar to your discard, you know the one you feed right before baking. I had the best sweet sourdough started, I loved it . I like the idea of separating the discard, that way if i want it sweet, my original starter will always be not sweet and I can make sweet and unsweetened sourdough.
So.. again do you feed your discard with sugar or always just water and flour????

[StaceyBruton]

How did you begin your starter? I am new with all of this and have never done this before?

[katieswihart]

I've ordered a starter from a lady local. It is dehydraedcand she's is furnishing instructions to rehydrate it. After that, I would like to follow your instructions
Will it work?

[katieswihart]

Awesome! Can you tell me, again, the site to ask for starter. I feel overwhelmed to try to make it. 😅

[beepbopboop]

Have you tried any revipes from the website The Fresh Loaf?

[woochie]

So wait though.. what did you do with the starter that had all the hooch in it? You fed one and put it in the fridge then you had the hooch one that you took a tad from to re activate it but did you disagree the other bit of it or just put it back in the fridge too?

[lisatalley]

Thank you! Can you please tell me where to get your jars you have? Thanks!

[doughprogirl]

Hi could you tell me for the first time making a starter how to do it? I have watched so many and I am having no luck..Please let me know how to START IT…Thank you 🤗

[sandrasykes]

Link where you purchased your initial starter, please. I heard “Linda ___.” Thanks! Happy Thanksgiving!
