This time i prepared my own way of Apple yeast water then using this yeast water made into natural yeast or sourdough starter. Also i feel the success rate of making natural yeast using yeast water is higher than just made with flour and water , like my sourdough starter.
苹果天然酵母酵種有機苹果，切小块 ，150克有機砂糖 30克过滤水 500克乾淨玻璃罐1个1. 將所有材料放入乾淨玻璃罐中, 將材料搅拌均勻。加盖，静置。2. 隔天，开始冒出小泡泡。將罐子晃動，以防出现霉菌。然后开罐, 譲空间进入。3. 每天將罐子晃動和开罐至少2次。其间，你也可以聴到”沙沙”的声音。4.放置到第7天,酵种就完成。Apple Yeast Water150g organic apple, small cubes30g organic sugar500g filtered water1 clean glass jarMethod1. Wash the apple, remove the core, retain the apple skin, then slice and cut into cube size.2. Day 1. Put all ingredients and cover with the lid, shake the container and let them mix well, put in a shady place ( I place inside kitchen cabinet).3. Day 2- Day 6. Shake and open the container at least 2times a day. This is to prevent apple getting moldy and let the gas released. You can see bubbles formed and also able to hear sizzling sound.4. On the day 7, apple yeast water is ready to make into natural yeast.天然酵母1. 放入50克苹果酵种和50克多用途面粉，搅拌均匀。放置到分量增至一倍大。2. 將酵母倒出一半，在餵養50克苹果酵种和50克多用途面粉，搅拌均匀。放置到分量增至一倍大。3. 重复此动作至少3-4次。过後，就可以用过滤水餵养。4. 直至天然酵母可以在4至5个小时增至一倍大。天然酵母已经活跃，可以用来做面包。5. 將酵母餵養到足夠做面包的份量，就可以用来做面包了。Making natural yeast or starterUnbleached all purpose flourApple yeast waterFiltered water1. Add 50g Apple Yeast water and 50g all purpose flour into a clean jar, stir to mix well. Using a rubber band to mark the original level. Place inside kitchen cabinet and let it ferment till next day.2. If you see the starter has risen double. Discard half of the starter, and add equal amount 50g of apple yeast water and all purpose flour, mix well and mark the level. Let it rise till double.3. Repeat the same steps 3-4 times. Then you can start feed the starter with filtered water instead of apple yeast water.4. Continue to feed the starter, until the starter able to rise double within 4-5 hrs, that means the starter is ready to use for making sourdough or soft bread.Recipe by Sonia a.k.a Nasi Lemak Lover
This recipe also featured in a Chinese New Paper Sin Chew daily on 21/10/2017. I was happy to share this recipe, so more people able to bake healthy bread for their family.
Thanks for sharing Sonia! Would love to see more posts on sourdough soft breads from you😊
ReplyDeleteThank you for the wonderful sharing. I am very interested in this natural yeast stater, may I know how to we keep the apple water? Ans how to we maintain the sourdough starter?
ReplyDeleteI love your recipes and your blog have help me produce wonderful result.
Would appreciate an reply and thank you in advance.
I am Ng by the way.
Hi Sonia,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being featured on the newspaper. I started this apple yeast water immediately after reading your post. I hope this time I'll have better luck. I wasn't successful on my quest with the natural yeast starter using flour and water. Please also share recipes on how to bake a sourdough loaf. Thanks in anticipation.
Wish to try to make my own bread one day. Sonia your recipe never fails us. Good job!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the translated version of the recipe! When I saw it was featured in a Chinese newspaper in Malaysia (from your Instagram), I was tempted to contact my family abroad to secure me a copy!
ReplyDeleteNg, sorry, i have missed your question . Did you meant how to keep ready apple yeast water? just keep in room temp when you have started to use them to make natural starter. After few feeds, you will almost use up the apple yeast water. If got balance then store in the fridge, you can add 1-2tbsp when you making bread . For feeding natural starter, you can feed once a week and keep them in the fridge. If i have time next time, i will try to write a post on how to maintain the natural starter as there are many ways to maintain it. Do drop me email if you have further question.
ReplyDeletethank you for replying. Will try doing your way and hopefully I can get a good result.
ReplyDeleteHi Sonia,
ReplyDeleteIn reference to your answer to Ng, do we discard the chopped apple pieces while maintaining the apple yeast water at room temperature?
No just leave apples inside the jar
ReplyDeleteHi Sonia, just want to know after u use the filtered water to feed the starter, it take how many days to get the starter able to rise double within 4-5 hour.
ReplyDeleteThanks and looking forward to your reply
Koh
Koh it depend how strong is the starter . If I could remember mine only take 1 day .
ReplyDeleteDear Sonia
ReplyDeleteCan we still make natural yeast without filter water?
Mixue
Mixue, yes you can , let water sit in room temp overnight before use
DeleteHello Sonia,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the sharing. My sourdough starter mainly made from plain
flour & whole wheat, already 5 months old. Had been trying to use it
for baking asian buns but never succeed in making rustic bread.
Now I'm trying to make the raisin yeast version. My buns using sourdough starter are denser if compare to commercial yeast,
it is means that it's need to proof longer?
Sometimes I cheat a bit, using half sourdough starter, half yeast
if in hurry.
Appreciate your sharing & loves your recipe.
By the way, I name my sourdough starter, Burpy because they always
burps when I feed them, lol...
Michelle, yes you need longer proofing time if you use sourdough starter . Unless your starter is young and active(no sour) then you can add more starter to speed up the proofing time .
DeleteGood afternoon, I wonder what the multi-faceted flour would be, and mixed with what flour? In the translation I made, it tells me when the yeast is rotting, I do not understand, I could clarify these two doubts, because I would like to use this yeast. thanks.
ReplyDeleteI like apples evry much. I need to get new recepie and be pleased with it. I have the things likke that and I am pleased.future simple tense with rules and examples Great to have it.
ReplyDeleteHello Sonia,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing. I have been using starter dough (made from yeast, sugar, flour and water and leave it overnight) to make pau lately. I wonder is this the same as sourdough starter. I wanted to use the starter dough to make more different things. I only know how to use it to make pau and I keep feeding the starter dough until I have to discard some if I don’t use it frequently. I would like to seek your advise.... Is there any different recipe that I can search on how to make use of the starter dough into making different type of baking. For example an I use this to make Chinese cullers.... and how much starter dough to use.... how to measure how much starter dough to use. I have search online for some ideas but mostly is for making pau (which is most popular search). I look forward to her from you. Thank you.
CT, yes your starter is so called sweet starter . Ya there are not many recipes using sourdough starter. You can just experiment yourself , just use certain % of starter to replace flour and water from the original recipe . As for the %, it depend your starter is young and active or not (no sour) then you can use more %.
DeleteI used to eat apple yeast daily, as prescribed by the doctor.

Sonia thanks for the recipe . I have 2 questions. 1 ) regarding discarding the half of Starter . Is this the one time process ? 2) Do we add in the flour when we start feeding the starter with distilled water. 3) can we cover the tops with cheese cloth? Thsnks
ReplyDeleteSilik , no is not one time discard , do it few times until you get active starter . Yes when feeding , just add flour abc water .yes you can cover with cheese cloth.
