Description

Create your own bubbly and tangy sourdough starter, the foundation for delicious homemade bread and other treats.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 100g unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 100g filtered room temperature water

Instructions

  1. Combine equal parts of flour and water in a clean glass jar, stirring until no dry lumps remain.
  2. Cover the jar loosely with a cloth or lid to allow air circulation.
  3. Place the jar in a warm area, ideally between 70°F to 80°F (21°C to 27°C), and let it rest for 24 hours.
  4. Feed your starter daily by adding equal parts flour and water, stirring well.
  5. Watch as the starter bubbles and develops a pleasant sour aroma over several days.
  6. Wait until it doubles in size within 4 to 6 hours after feeding, indicating it’s ready for baking.

Notes

Be patient with the fermentation process and remember that every starter develops at its own pace.
