How to Make a Sourdough Starter
 
 
Author:
Ingredients
  • Clean glass jar and a cloth to cover it
  • Fresh-milled Flour
  • Oxygen
Instructions
  1. There are disagreements as to what ratio of flour to water you should use for sourdough. I used a ratio of 1.5 parts flour to 1 part water. Every time I fed the starter I used ¼ cup flour plus a half of a ¼ cup (technically ⅜ of a cup total) and then a ¼ cup of water. Mix thoroughly to incorporate oxygen.
  2. Continue feeding 1-3 three times a day. Starter should double in size between feedings.
  3. If it has trouble rising, pour out half of the starter and continue as normal.
  4. If no bubbles appear, start over, making sure to stir, stir, stir vigorously to incorporate oxygen.
