Sake Lees Yeast - Liquid Bread Starter
I think it's quite hard to measure sake lees yeast, so I hope this is helpful.
It's possible to make fermentation liquid with only sake lees, but it takes a long time and it's difficult, so I recommend using liquid yeast from raisins or the like.
The amount of bread flour to make sponge dough (starter dough) is the same as liquid yeast, so, for example, for the first day, use 100 g of both, then 50 g on the second day. Recipe by Miyanbo

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Break up the sake lees to fit into a sterilized jar and add the liquid yeast and water that's been boiled and cooled. Adjust the amount of sake lees and water to fit the jar.
- 2
The following day, the sake lees should be settled at the bottom of the jar and be forming bubbles.
- 3
After 4 or 5 days, the fermentation will slow, and the sake lees will start to float. This is the time to make the sponge dough (bread starter).
- 4
Although it may be hard to see, there should be dregs at the bottom of the jar.
- 5
(For reference) This is what the dregs in raisin yeast looks like (the white substance are the dregs).
- 6
To make sponge dough, sterilize a large jar, a tea strainer, spoon, and chopsticks with boiling water. Strain the liquid yeast into the jar through the tea strainer, pressing it in the strainer with a spoon.
- 7
This is the strained mixture! Discard the sake lees left in the tea strainer. Weigh the yeast liquid at this point.
- 8
Add the same amount of bread flour as the amount of liquid yeast from Step 7, then mix with chopsticks until it's no longer floury.
- 9
Cover the jar with a paper towel, fix it on with a rubber band, then put another rubber band around the jar to mark the height of the mixture, so that you know how much it has risen.
- 10
After 3 to 4 hours, it should rise 2 to 3 times in height. Once it rises, close the lid and store it in the refrigerator.
- 11
Steps 6 to 10 can be done in one day. After repeating this three times (over 3 days), you will get sponge dough.
- 12
On the right is raisin yeast sponge dough. The consistency of the raisin yeast sponge dough is rough and thick. Sake lees yeast makes a finer and more watery sponge dough.

Sake Lees Yeast ② - Liquid Bread Starter Sake Lees Yeast ② - Liquid Bread Starter
I figured I could simplifyand so I experimented with it. That recipe strains the yeast mixture, but this one uses all of the mixture.Not straining will enhance the taste of the sake lees and make it into a richer bread.Make sure to sterilize the containers. Step 7 shows the finished starter. The bubbles will become fine if you let it sit in the fridge in Step 6. After Step 7 and fermentation the big and small bubbles will become evenly dispersed.

Fizzy Bread Starter using Natural Leaven Fizzy Bread Starter using Natural Leaven
I referenced Yuriko Aida's book "Baking Bread with Homemade Yeast--Through the Seasons". Although the author uses only domestically grown wheat, I revised the recipe to more accessible ingredients.You can substitute bread (strong) flour for the whole wheat flour. I use Weck's tulip-shaped 1 liter jar. I recommend it since it's easy to stir the contents. Airtight jars with rubber gaskets are good, but I'm afraid of breakage from fermentation. You can also use a large bottle, or any container and wrap it in plastic wrap. Recipe by Surou -
Bread (Sourdough) Starter Bread (Sourdough) Starter
The method for making a sourdough starter sponge is the same, regardless of which starter you use! The sponge puffs up and becomes filled with air bubbles, and it's just fun to watch it grow.The method is the same whichever starter liquid you use! I used raisin starter this time.Add the same amount of starter liquid and flour.You can use water instead of starter liquid from the 2nd day onwards, but if you use starter liquid you'll have a more fragrant, robust starter sponge.

Homemade Yeast French Bread (Using Straight Starter) Homemade Yeast French Bread (Using Straight Starter)
I was able to make a nice yeast, so I used the straight method to turn it into french bread.※ The recipe calls for 75% water, but using about 65~70% at first will make it easier to make (195-210ml).※ I used 36% natural yeast, but 15% should be enough for it to rise sufficiently, so please feel free to reduce as you see fit.(Don't forget to increase the amount of water in turn for this.

Homemade Apple Leaven (Bread Starter) Homemade Apple Leaven (Bread Starter)
I've been making this for a while.There's a lot of wild yeast on the peel and core of the apple, so don't throw them out. It takes a bit more time to make this in the winter. If you add the same amount of boiled then cooled water as the starter you took out, plus sugar or honey to the remaining starter, let it ferment again and store in the refrigerator, the starter will stay alive for years. You can add 100% apple juice instead of the boiled then cooled water to feed the starter too. In that case, don't add any sugar. If there is only 1/3rd of the starter left, add the abovementioned starter additions, let it ferment at room temperature for 2 days or so, strain and store in the refrigerator. Recipe by Raichi -
Stronger Bread Starter By Increasing the Yeast Content Stronger Bread Starter By Increasing the Yeast Content
I discovered this on a website I trust! The active wild yeast in bread starter will increase if you let it oxidize! So, if you close with a lid, oxygen won't get to the starter and stop producing yeast and produce alcohol instead.● Don't screw the lid on your jar and mix it up 2 to 3 times a day.● It's easy to keep the starter going, and it will produce more yeast quickly.● Although raisin starter with 20% sugar is best suited for dough that's made directly with the starter or with a sponge, a sugarless starter is best for the liquid sponge method. If you are making a flour based sponge, try a 2 to 1 ratio of water to raisins only in your starter. Recipe by Raichi -
Baking Bread Straight from Liquid Bread Starter - Simple and Basic Rolls Baking Bread Straight from Liquid Bread Starter - Simple and Basic Rolls
I'm into baking bread from natural leaven, but when I tried baking from a liquid starter, it was hard to knead and took too much time. Bread baking is tricky, but by using this moderate amount of bread flour (160 g), which is what they use in my basic cooking class, it will be easier to knead.Using a domestic flour blend (I used "Haruyutaka"), about 60 g of flour was sufficient. Use a tad more in the winter. Adjust the amount of water depending on your bread flour and climate. While you may allow a lot of time for the first proofing, time for the second proofing should be shorter in order for a tasty result. Keep an eye on the dough during the second proofing. For 190°c, about 14 minutes. Recipe by Choco dayo -
How To Make Homemade Natural Leaven, Bread Starter How To Make Homemade Natural Leaven, Bread Starter
Several years ago, I wanted to make pizza and was searching on the internet, when I learned about natural leaven. Ever since then I've been captivated by natural leaven (natural yeast or sourdough) bread.In the winter, I put the jar next to my electric kettle or rice cooker. In any case, when the mixture is very foamy and bubbly, and it smells alcoholic, it's done. Add the same amount of water as the amount of starter you used as well as some honey, sugar or 100% fruit juice, and the starter will keep going for years. If using 100 % fruit juice, don't add any sugar. If the starter smells rotten, throw it out.When the starter is down to about 10g, add 200 g of water, 100 g of raisins, and 30 g of sugar and let it re-ferment. Recipe by Raichi -
Easy For Beginners: Raisin Bread Starter Rolls Easy For Beginners: Raisin Bread Starter Rolls
Ever since I discovered homemade natural bread starter or leaven, my bread baking experience has gotten so much richer. I've been making natural-starter bread referring to various books and online articles.In this recipe the starter liquid is used straight, without making an intermediary sponge. This is called the "straight method". With this method you can really enjoy the fragrance of the starter and the straightforward taste of the flour, and it's really delicious. I prefer using straight starter rather than the sponge method, since the dough is more tender and moist. Please watch the bread's color in the oven to judge its baking time. When it's golden brown and smells wonderful, it's done. If the bread won't brown well, that means the dough was over-proofed. Recipe by Raichi -

For Beginners: Yogurt Bread Starter (Leaven) For Beginners: Yogurt Bread Starter (Leaven)
Since this bread starter is made by adding flour to yogurt, it's easy to see how it's fermenting, unlike some other starters. You can store this starter in the refrigerator for about 5 days. If you leave a little leftover, use half the amount of water, bread flour and sugar in step 5, and incubate for 5-6 hours at room temperature you can grow more starter. If you do this twice, your starter will ferment better. If it takes on an "off" smell like a dishtowel, it's better to manfully throw it away.To get a bread starter going, in the spring, summer and fall you can just let it rest at room temperature. In midsummer when it's very hot, put it in a cool location in your room when you're at home, and put it in the refrigerator when you go out if your house will get very hot. You can also put it in an insulated polystyrene container with ice packs to keep it at under 25 °C. In the winter, put the starter jar on top of the refrigerator, near the stove, near your electric water kettle or in your boiler room. You could also make a fermentation box using a thermostat meant for tropical fish aquariums and an insulated box. But don't put the starter in a very warm location. Recipe by mipon -
