Description
Learn how to create and maintain your own sourdough starter for delicious homemade bread.
Instructions
- In a clean glass jar, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1/2 cup of room temperature water.
- Stir the mixture until there are no dry flour clumps.
- Cover the jar loosely with a lid or cloth to allow airflow.
- Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 24 hours.
- After 24 hours, discard half of the starter and feed it with another 1 cup of flour and 1/2 cup of water.
- Repeat the feeding process every 24 hours for about 5-7 days until the starter is bubbly and has doubled in size.
Notes
- Use filtered or bottled water if your tap water is heavily chlorinated.
- Keep the starter in a warm place, ideally between 70°F to 75°F (21°C to 24°C).
- Once established, the starter can be stored in the refrigerator and fed weekly.
