Today I learned that you can pour the layer of whey from your homemade yoghurt into your sourdough starter to boost the lacto fermenting bacteria population.

This is how you make a strong sourdough in a matter of days instead of weeks.

Bruh!

I’ve also used whey instead of water in sourdough bread!

Pure whey or do you dilute it? I make a bit of cheese and always wonder what to do with the whey.

I’ve done pure whey strained off of my homemade strained yogurt. Sometimes I end up with half the yogurt volume in whey after straining!

you can use it to jumpstart all kinds of lactofermented things, and even use it as a garden input.
