Make your own sourdough starter
How to make your own sourdough starter in about a week, with just flour and water, in just 5 minutes per day.
Ingredients
- 100 g unbleached all purpose flour
- 100 g rye flour
- 250 g water
Cookware
- glass mason jar
- digital scale
Steps
Step 1
Mix 50 g unbleached all purpose flour , 50 g rye flour and 150 g water into a glass mason jar or glass pyrex. I prefer a vessel with lower walls than a mason jar. Weigh these using a digital scale . Cover with a loose fitting lid
Step 2
Every 24 hours remove half of the starter and add 50 g unbleached all purpose flour , 50 g rye flour and 100 g water
Step 3
Repeat this process for up to 2 weeks until starter becomes bubbly, active, and doubles in size about 5 hours after feeding.
Step 4
If baking every day, continue to feed starter every day. Otherwise, if cooking weekly, keep in fridge and feed weekly. Make levain for loaves using discarded starter when feeding.
