A Cheap and Easy Sourdough Starter with Yogurt Whey
Making sourdough bread or yogurt feels like a science experiment with God.
When I set up a welcoming environment, God makes it happen. Making sourdough or yogurt turns into a kitchen miracle when using the marvelous bacteria He created.
In my latest post, I show you how to make a sourdough starter using yogurt whey to give it a fantastic kickstart. However, you may wonder why you should make it yourself when it's readily available.
How to obtain a sourdough starter:
- Get it from a friendly home baker.
- Buy it from "our favorite flour company."
- Purchase freeze-dried starter online.
So why make a sourdough starter?
- It only takes a week or two.
- With my method, you don't have to use a lot of expensive flour.
- If you don't have time or have lost the inclination to use it, it's not a significant investment down the drain.
- It's almost as satisfying as sharing your fabulous homemade bread.
Don't worry. Your bread isn't going to taste like yogurt. You will only add whey the first time you mix your starter (so you don't need much). After that, it will be flour and water all the way.

p.s. My neighbors recently convinced me to start selling my sourdough bread. If you are close enough to pick it up from my house (DFW area in Texas), email or ask me for details.

Hi Friends, The Fourth of July is my favorite holiday and an excuse to share homemade food with others. Even if you aren't celebrating a holiday, you likely find yourself cooking or baking for others, bringing joy and connection through your efforts. Recently, I was inspired by Trevor J. Wilson's book Open Crumb Mastery. It's not for beginners, and it's not a cookbook. But if you...
I love summer and celebrating with family. It's the best time for homemade hamburger buns, ice cream, and watermelon. This week, there is something for everybody--hamburger buns for the bread makers, creme fraiche ice cream for the yogurt makers, and espresso (or coffee) ice cream for coffee lovers. If you like watermelon like I do, check out this post for "How To Pick the Perfect Watermelon" by Rachel Teodoro. Her method works better for me than thumping. Bread Machine Hamburger Buns These...
Hello Friends, I hope your summer (or winter, to my southern hemisphere friends) is off to a good start. After taking a break and a nice vacation, I came home with a rip-roaring case of acute bronchitis. This isn't my first go-around with the stuff, but it's been a while, and I forgot how long it takes to get over the coughing. Thankfully, I'm on the mend. Reader Question: Can I substitute oil for butter in a yeast bread recipe? Substitutions can be challenging. Since I can't test for every...
