Description
A simple and easy-to-follow feeding schedule for maintaining a sourdough starter, perfect for beginners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup active sourdough starter
Instructions
- In a clean jar, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1/2 cup of water.
- Add 1/4 cup of your active sourdough starter to the mixture.
- Stir until well combined and there are no dry flour pockets.
- Cover the jar loosely with a lid or cloth to allow airflow.
- Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 12 hours.
- Repeat the feeding process every 12 hours for 5-7 days until the starter is bubbly and doubles in size.
Notes
- Use filtered or bottled water for best results.
- Keep the starter in a warm place, ideally between 70°F to 75°F.
- If the starter develops a layer of liquid on top, it’s called ‘hooch’ and can be stirred back in or poured off.
