Ingredients
  • 1 t. Breadtopia Sourdough Starter
  • water
  • 3 c. flour
Instructions
  1. Day 1: Wash jar and sourdough beater and rinse with clean water. Dry.
  2. Add 1 teaspoon of starter flakes, and 1 tablespoon of water to the jar, and stir.
  3. Rinse beater, and set aside. After a couple hours, the starter flakes will be softened.
  4. Add a tablespoon of flour to the jar to 'feed' the starter. Rinse beater, and stir to blend. Let sit overnight on the counter while building your starter.
  5. Day 2: Rinse beater. Add another T. water, and 1 T flour to jar and stir. Watch for tiny little bubbles to show up as early as day 3. They'll look like pinholes in the top of your starter, and this will show you that it's fermenting properly.
  6. Day 3 Add an additional 1 T of flour and water to your mix in the morning.
  7. In the evening, feed your starter 2 T of flour and water.
  8. Day 4 Add ¼ c. flour and water to your starter in the morning. In the evening, add ½ c. flour and water. Let sit overnight.
  9. Day 5 Add 1 cup flour and water to your jar in the morning. If you want to build more starter, you can add up to 2 more cups of flour and water by the evening.
  10. Once your jar is full and bubbly, you may use it immediatly, or place starter in the refrigerator for storage.
Notes

My family was very pleasantly surprised with the mild flavor of this sourdough...it is really nutty and yummy, as opposed to 'sour'.
