Sourdough Starter

Prep Time 7 days
Servings: 1 loaf

Ingredients
  

  • 75 g flour
  • 75 g water room temperature

Method
 

To create your starter
  1. In a jar, add the flour and water and mix until it forms a gloopy paste similar to a pancake batter consistency.
  2. Partially cover the jar and keep in the kitchen at room temperature.
  3. Every day, add more flour and water and mix together, until it is 'ripe'. The mix will have a yeast like smell and will be covered in bubbles. This is an active starter.
To maintain your starter
  1. Keep your starter in the fridge and 'feed' it once a week by adding more flour and water.
  2. Never use up all your starter, otherwise you will have to start the entire process again.
