I wanted to make a starter yesterday and searched here first. There wasn’t one so I watched a few other videos. I decided to double check your playlists in case I missed it and you had just posted this video! Talk about perfect timing! I made the starter this morning. We will see how it goes. I enjoy your videos . Thank you !

[ParkerJane-fj]

very well explained. thank you! I have searched for months and finally feel confident that i can do this!

[sarahbergman]

Grateful for this! Been a giant goal to make sourdough myself but so intimidating. Your video- the way you present it, the time you take and not rush basic instructions is so very appreciated. I am so excited to start, thank you Elizabeth!

[Jacelyn-tnmq]

This video came at the perfect time. I received all the tools you use from Amazon 3 days ago! TY Elizabeth for sharing with us and showing a newbie, such as myself, a starter recipe that isn't complicated.

[becciba]

Thank you so much, I‘ve been wanting to know how this works!!! 🥰🤗

[karend]

Thank you! Thank you! I really appreciate you sharing this…been waiting! Will let you know!

[venanciasandin]

Thank you Elizabeth! What great information and can’t wait to try it. I am hoping to learn to make this using rye flour. It seems to be best and easier on my blood sugar.

[debichats]

I can’t wait to start this!!! I hope to within the next few days…..got lots going on here but I need to get this going! Thank you so much! I’ve been wanting this for

What happens to the rest of the starter that remains in the jar after I take out the 70g ?

[ebinottiofficial]

I love how easy and low maintenance you made this! Thank you so much!

I love using a dry erase marker to write the time I fed, and other notes on my jars. I also write the exact weight of each jar in permanent marker on the bottom of the jars I use for my starters.

Are rubber bands the most underrated kitchen tool? Yes. I think so hahaha

I need to perfect the method of keeping my starter alive and healthy in the fridge. I feel like as soon as I put it in the fridge it dies. It gets so weak, never bubbles up, and takes days to get back to strength to make bread with.

Has anyone else had this problem?

[janicebrown]

Thank you for this step by step video. It is exactly what I was looking for!

[queeniebee]

Hi Elizabeth! Hope you’re enjoying your summer! I have a question, after baking and using your starter, how much do you save to put in the fridge for future baking?

[Rissairene_]

started my sourdough starter tonight!! I am sooo excited. I tried once before and failed but realized my mistakes (chlorinated water and bleached flour that my friend used in the starter she gave to me... whoopsies!) Starting with a clean slate and will come back and update :)

[katieNSB]

Thanks for a wonderful tutorial; just what I needed. Especially appreciate the little extra tips and your remarks on why you do some of the steps, like the taped jar to indicate rise. Thank you!!! I’ll let you know!!

[bessiewilson]

I had a beautiful sour dough starter on my counter forgot to put in refrigerator so it turned to a pink color so I chunked it. I’ve kept my starter for years til this happened ❤

[paulamathis]

I would always get my first rise after 24 hours. After that, I was unable to get another rise. I am currently on day 4 and I have had a rise every day. I cannot thank you enough. I have wasted so much flour and time until now. I’ll definitely be using this formula from now on. I am excited to make my first loaf. THANK

[kellymurray]

I have patiently awaited the arrival of this video tutorial! You are A-mazing and I’m so grateful that you share all that you know🙏🏻🤍 🍞 My family thanks you as well😊

[katster]

Always a highlight of my week! Your videos! Thank you for this! Can I convince you to do one on fresh milled einkorn?😅 I love einkorn APF but we are really trying to eat whole grain einkorn. And I bought a mill😜

[maryannhaller]

Thank you Elizabeth, I will try again.
