Sourdough Starter Instructions
This is how to feed and care for your sourdough starter. I specifically use a mixture of whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour with my sourdough starter, but some people choose to use just one type of flour with excellent results!
Equipment
- 1 quart Mason jar
- 1 Wooden Spoon or Chopstick
- 1 Fabric or Paper Towel piece to cover top loosely
Ingredients
- 120 g Sourdough Starter
- 40 g Whole Wheat Flour
- 80 g Unbleached All-purpose Flour
- 120 g Filtered Water not tap water
Instructions
- In the morning add all ingredients to wide mouth jar. Stir together. This should be the consistency of pancake batter. Cover the jar lightly. Oxygen needs to enter the jar, not bugs. The next morning: use or discard all but 120g of the starter and feed again.
- Sourdough starter is established and ready to use when it bubbles and at least doubles in size 4-6 hours after feeding.
