Title: So it begins. My trek on making a set of bread starters
Post by: TMB on August 30, 2018, 08:59:30 PM

So I have an idea of using a bread starter to help my low card bread/pizza dough taste and texture

So I have made two starters one natural and the other with bread yeast.   

I’ll remove half of each and feed them each day and I’ll post as I go

OK 10 hr's later here they are so far.  Feeding tonight when I get home

Top one is natural yeast from the air

Lower one is using bread yeast and this will be the first one I use in a few days

If anyone has thoughts please feel free to post

I've used Bragg nutritional yeast in some of my low carb breads (using almond or coconut flour) and it is an improvement.  Only adds 1g of carbs for a tablespoon of "nutritional yeast".   I have not tried adding some to carbquik yet but have thought about it.

Tommy, the yeast/bacteria in your natural starter is already on the grains you used. Natural yeast from the air is a much longer process for activity from that source to start. As you use your starter(sourdough), it will become "local" as it picks up the natural/wild yeasts in the air in your area. If you maintain it for long enough, it will develop it's own character, unique to your area.

 Been 11 days since I have made this starter (using dry yeast) to get it going.

Now, I had a natural  starter going but it just didn't look right and had a blueish thing on one side  :-\ so I tossed to be safe.

But this starter seems to be doing well and have used it twice for a pizza and a bread cook
