Hi There!

I make your sourdough every week. Being a first time mum I am sometimes unsure about what is best for my child- ie hear that some bread is too heavy for their young digestive systems. My question is- in your opinion is it ok to give this bread to your 15mth old?

[canaan1967]

She lost me at 2:52.  Is she talking about the starter again?

Hello

??? -- The second and third time I made the bread it was too gooyey to cook through in the middle. What could be wrong?

Answer -- Yes, keep starter covered to keep the flies, etc. out.

Answer -- Water without chlorine is best, as the chlorine kills the starter. Sitting water out uncovered will allow the chlorine to evaporate out

Do you need to cover the starter after the seventh day? I just kept the mesh cover over my starter as I had during the first seven days, but after I stopped sterilizing more bowls the starter began to mold. Should the starter be refrigerated or kept with a regular lid for long term usage?

[PunkChico27]

I've tried it twice, but I used a metal spoon to stir. It's been "brick loaves" so far, but tastes good. (I'm also using kamut instead of spelt since that is what I have. ) I'm trying again until I get it.

I'd like to see the loaves after they are done.

Thank you for sharing the results of all your experimenting.

I know you said you leave your starter on the counter...in a bowl (not metal)...do you have a lid once you have it going?

[mvetter]

Hey, I just followed the sour dour starter (I'm on day 7 today, yeah!). But, I only have metal bread pans - do I need to go and buy all new bread pans?

[eyem4freedom]

@mvetter I think she said just don't use metal for the starter. It's okay to use metal to cook it in. She cooks it in metal in the video.

Hi there! I am so excited to be doing this, but I have a small family (so far!) and don't want to have such a large quantity of dough/bread. Can I cut everything in half and have it still turn out the same? If anyone knows, I'd love your input!!

[blestmomma]

You rock Serene! Recipe is GREAT!!!! PLEASE keep little movies coming, they are very encouraging!

[9joyfamily]

Serene,

That was a lovely video. I look forward to using your "tips" on making sourdough bread. I also enjoyed your family introductions at the end :-)

[SecondActSoon]

Great video - thanks. I'm reading Nourishing Traditions and would like to move my family over to eating this way. Fortunately, we already love sourdough bread, but this recipe makes it so easy!

Great family, btw!

p.s.-you talk about keeping to low GI foods, however what about the fruits and honey God Himself created which do have a higher Glycemic Index? The Proverbs do say not to eat too much honey:)

[partera78]

Thankyou so much for sharing your recipe/how to and your family!!!

God bless you!

[thefairymum]

Wow - thank you for taking the time to film this... the easy visuals and simple explanations make sourdough feasible for a (normal) bread baker like me! And having read your magazine, I really appreciate meeting your family - as did my own 6 yo daughter - blessings!

Can you tell us how to make the starter with the rye flour and the water? Are you using tap water or spring water? I am new to this. TIA!

[AboveRubiesTennessee]

Hi...this is the videographer here...Serene simply used tap/well water I believe but she did say that spring water or filtered water would be great too! Blessings on you and thanks for watching!!!

[KeepingTheHome]

I just put up my personal recipe for wheat sourdough bread a few days ago. I love watching bread recipes!

I have four children, so I only need to make 6 or 7 loaves a week. I usually just make a loaf or two every day, but sometimes I like to get ahead, and make 4 or more loaves a day.

[mechanicsfam]

Very Nice! That was lots of info. I can't wait to try it.
