Listen "#4: How to make a sourdough starter from scratch"
Episode Synopsis
In this video podcast, Steve the Bread Guy shows you how to make a sourdough starter from scratch.
What is a starter? Sourdough breads have been around for many centuries, and all of them start with a 'mother' or starter. It's simply some flour and water that has already been colonized by some yeast. It's kept in the fridge, and some bakeries have 'mothers' which have been alive for over a century.
These starters create breads which have a lovely tang to them, and produce really crunchy crusts. Making one of these 'mothers' is easy, and will use yeast that is floating in the air in your kitchen, so your sourdough breads will be unique to your home. Homemade, indeed!
