How to make Wild Yeast Water for Bread Baking. The no-feed, no-discard, bread starter!

Rosemary Mark

Wild Yeast Water is simpler than sourdough! What IS Wild Yeast Water? It’s bread starter, minus the maintenance of sourdough starter, made with dried fruit, flowers or herbs. Perfect for occasional bakers or those frustrated with keeping a happy healthy sourdough starter. Bake long-fermented Artisan loaves, focaccia, rolls, sticky buns and more, with the benefits of long fermentation flavor, shelf-life, and health.

💖 Favorite Ferments: Cherry wild yeast water, cabbage sauerkraut with coriander, and pickled baby cukes with carrots. I’m learning to make Kefir waters – cherry is my top choice! It’s as crazy-active as cherry wild yeast water
💡 Fermentation Tip: A consistent and known temperature zone for fermenting is my top tip. Fermentations are much more predictable and manageable when resting at their happiest temperature, and can be adjusted to your schedule by moderating temperature plus time. A proofing box, proofing mat, or a warm (75-82F) climate or work space are indispensable to success and less stress!
🏝️ Desert Island Tools: A sealable container and clean water! Bonus would be a scale and a thermometer.

Wild Yeast Water Bread Coach

“My Kindergarten teacher once said, “Rosemary, today you need to play somewhere other than the kitchen”. That was a sad day…

Little did she know I’d make a career creating recipes and new food products. Trained in recipe development for the home cook, my recipes have been published by Sun-Maid, Häagen-Dazs, Driscoll’s, Del Monte, California Walnuts, Safeway, and many more.

In 2018, a friend introduced me to Wild Yeast Water—a centuries-old German bread-baking method, a no-fuss alternative to sourdough starter.

Since then, I’ve been baking long-fermentation breads with never a ‘knead’ to feed or discard, because Wild Yeast Water stays active for months! An end to lazy starter and messy sourdough jars—WYW is perfect for the occasional baker and the obsessed baker like me.
