How to Make Any Yeast Recipe

with Sourdough Starter

In this post, I will share with you how to substitute sourdough starter for yeast in any recipe as well as the difference between wild and commercial yeast.

Difference Between Wild Yeast & Commercial Yeast

-wild yeast: occurs naturally in the environment as a living organism

-commercial yeast: cultivated and manufactured under controlled conditions

Why use sourdough starter instead of commercial yeast?

-taste -digestion & health -simplicity & tradition

Tips: 

-amount of liquid and flour will always differ slightly, based on the hydration levels of your starter.

-rising time will depend on your room temperature

Step 1

You can substitute sourdough starter by using 100g of sourdough starter to replace 1 packet of yeast (usually 7 grams)

Step 2

The next thing to do is reduce the liquid and flour weights the recipe calls for by 50 grams each

Step 3

Add the sourdough starter at the time the recipe calls for yeast. Proceed with mixing & kneading.
