Any help on making a starter for homemade bread. Not a sourdough guy so any ideas or help on a regular home made bread starter? Maybe I have my terminology wrong and sour dough would be a regular loaf? not sure but any ideas out there? TIA

Yeast (regular) bread does not use a starter, sour dough does. Yeast makes the regular bread dough rise. Sour dough is fermenting, so it does not need yeast.

True, but regular bread can use starter in place of yeast. The major difference is raising time

Like noted above...there is commercial yeast in the grocery for sale.

Then ...there is the dark side of sourdough...where a homemade yeast is born..

With just equal parts of flour & Water...takes about 10 days.

Plenty of you tube videos out there to explain ..how to make a sourdough starter.

If you have anymore questions...fire away

So I have a second cousin who has a starter that is like a sweeter loaf of regular bread. I didn’t know if there was just a regular starter to make bread with. If it’s just get the yeast packs and make it by the loaf then that’s what I will do.. Yes the tube has all kinds of sour dough vids.I had some store bought dough you know the loaf logs was kinda tasteless that’s why I was asking.. Thanks may try the sour dough too at some point..

I made a Poolish Bread...not Polish...with commercial yeast....for close to 2 years...before I went to the dark side of sourdough.

It was good bread.

But with Sourdough .. possibilities are endless...iam still experimenting.

But I make a wicked ..Pickle & Cheese Sourdough

Plus sourdough cast iron pizza

Sourdough pancakes

Sourdough Pasta is the Bomb
