Easy Grape Sourdough Starter & Why I Believe in the Power of It

God gave me a vision that Randy was His choice for a husband for me on Day 11 of meeting him, before we ever had our first date. ⠀ He proposed on Day 21. ⠀ We married on Day 90. ⠀ About 3 months later he was diagnosed with Hodgekins Lymphoma then the diagnosis was recanted. ⠀ 3 months after that Randy woke up and said "I have Lymphoma. We need to go on #theMakersDiet." He was right. ⠀ Treatment began and I made him chocolate ice cream with goats milk and honey and a starter with wild yeast on our back deck. The Lord also told me to put him on a mushroom blend. Three months later he was healed. ⠀ That was almost 15 years ago. ⠀ And this is where I discovered why and how to make REAL Wild Sourdough bread. ⠀ I have been wanting to bring it back into our weekly routine and today is the day!⠀

The Recipe

I loosely used Nancy Silverton's starter recipe but if you watch the video on the recipe page you will discover that I didn't have organic grapes, (yikes, I know. I prayed over them though! Lol) and I used whole wheat flour instead of the bread flour that she called for. I am also going to simplify the recipe for you with fewer words. I think this starter is pretty forgiving so I am going to lean into that GRACE and go with the flow. You can get the recipe and join me in the adventure right here!
