    She went through the whole closet, minus her Sunday best, to make this video. Good content, Billy, your best friend just made you some amazing bread, least you could do is find out the name of that bowl. 😁

    I am sorry but cut the amount of flour and H2O in half instead of throwing out 1/2 of the starter!! This is so wasteful and I keep seeing everyone following this same insanity!! I am not trying to be rude but waste is illogical to me! I never threw extra away, it was used with the rest in the jar!
    Blessings

    I feel like people make this too complicated. Clean water and clean flour. Make a paste. Leave it on the counter with a coffee filter on top. Add flour and a little water when bubbly, throw half away and add flour and water paste mix everyday, throwing away half to keep it at least half of the container you have it in. Once it doubles and shrinks for a week, try making bread with some of it and at this point pay attention to grams and type of flour. Whole flour is drier. Bread flour you will want a little less water. Follow your sourdough recipe. I feel that the bread recipe tweaks take more practice than the starter itself imho. Love you guys 😊.

    It was so wonderful to see the homestead honey in a video. She did an awesome job. Thank you so much for sharing. Is ok to use well water if it treated with a water softener? Can the biscuits be allowed to ferment for 48hrs?

    So I am brand new to watching your channel, came over via Hollar Homestead, so I never knew fermenting sourdough gets rid of gluten. Am I hearing you right? If you have celiac and can't have gluten, you can have sourdough bread? I don't know if I misunderstood this.

    So Turkey Red wheat is higher in protein and lower in gluten. When they shortened wheat it made lower protein and higher gluten levels. Many people with gluten issues can eat Turkey Red wheat. We grew it on our small farm here in Kansas and hand processed it. That was some work! Lol I wish more people grew it! It is a prime example of how our interference with plants has caused problems. Beautiful video!

    Yum! Everything looks beautiful! I’ve never done a 48 hr ferment, but I’m definitely going to try it! My husband loves to have a dish of olive oil with his fresh bread!

    I've been baking sourdough for about 4 months now. My recipe is identical to yours. I've made it in the banneton basket but prefer to use loaf pans now. It is so much better than what you find in a grocery store bakery. Another plus is that sourdough doesn't spike my blood glucose. I had my 6 months lab test a week ago and my A1C was at a non-diabetic level.

    I've kept and used sourdough for 3 years now but only just started baking loaves of bread with it! I am super excited to try a 48 hour ferment, gluten definitely bothers my stomach! I'm gonna get it started tomorrow!

    Just my two cents….when you cut the dough with your jar, don't twist it. The twisting motion seals the edges of your dough and the biscuits will not rise higher as they should. Just press down, DON'T TWIST, and pop them out if they stick. They will RISE more than double!!! The science behind this method is the layers are exposed and because they are touching in the baking pan they hook on to each and rise as they are baking. When the sides are sealed they don't hook on in the beginning as they are rising until the sealed edges open up some and then they help each other rise. Been baking biscuits for 70 years now and the great grand kids are now learning how to make biscuits this summer. We enjoy all your videos and you make us smile and laugh. Thank you all…beautiful people.

    That looks divine!!! So I can’t have gluten. Are you saying that I could eat this? Or can I do the same thing with gluten free flours?
