Sourdough Starter

A sourdough starter for beginners.

Ingredients
  

  • Glass Jar or Bowl Don't use metal as it can mess with the fermentation
  • 1 Bag Unbleached All Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 Cup Whole Wheat Flour
  • Warm filtered water

Instructions
 

  • Day 1: Mix 1/2 cup whole wheat flour with 1/2 cup water in glass bowl with a wood spoon
  • Day 2: Leave it alone!
  • Day 3: Remove and Discard half of the starter. Add 1/2 cup All Purpose flour and 1/2 cup water. Mix with wood spoon.
  • Day 4-7: Repeat process from Day 3 (aka feed the starter). Repeat until it looks like thick pancake batter with bubbles.
  • Once your starter is born, feed everyday if left out on the counter, or feed once a week if you put it in the fridge. Before you use it, bring it back to room temperature and feed it first.
