How much is a 1 quarter ounce package of active dry yeast? Thank you!
SO many comments about how this isn’t a true sourdough starter. How about
a link to a video or recipe for what IS a real sourdough starter? I would
appreciate the help.
Be warned, this is not true sourdough starter. Commercial yeast is not
added to a true starter. There are many true sourdough starters out there,
sadly, this is not one of them.
I’m glad I live in the bay area. Wonderful sour dough

Thanks for your question. Once the starter is initially mixed it will
resemble a pancake batter consistency. After it sits it will naturally
thicken up.
improving with age means that more native wild yeasts have been gradually
introduced replacing the commercial yeast… just ferment the flour! the
youtube channel ‘dieteasily’ has a great explanation and demonstration for
natural sour dough fermentation for gluten free and wheat starters.

Hmm as far as I know sour dough starter will not use any instant yeast..
it’s all about creating natural yeast from the flour.

You don’t put yeast in a sourdough starter!
That’s the whole point of making your own “yeast”

starters dont use yeast. they solely depend on natural yeast present in the
air and baker’s hand. but good video for quick starter.

Not a true Sourdough Starter. If you want a real Sourdough Starter you do
NOT use any Yeast or sugar.
