My Homemade Yeast Turns One Today — Still Healthy, Still Bubbling Strong
Exactly one year ago, I created my first batch of homemade yeast — a simple mix of atta (whole wheat flour), water, curd, and a bit of jaggery. And today, that same yeast is not only alive, but thriving — healthy, active, and baking up beautiful loaves of bread.
If you remember, many of us made it together. Some of you followed the steps religiously, some experimented, and some gave up halfway. But for those who stuck with it — life got easier in the kitchen. Because once you have your own wild yeast culture, you’re free from store-bought packets. And trust me, the bread tastes better, is gut-friendly, and has no hidden additives.
Now, baking bread isn’t just baking — it’s fermentation magic that you control. No commercial yeast. No extra gluten. Just real ingredients and patience.
