Description
Create your own Traditional Sourdough Starter with just two simple ingredients! This sourdough starter will be the foundation for your favorite bread recipes, giving them depth and flavor.
Ingredients
- Unbleached all-purpose flour
- Water and preferably non-chlorinated fresh water
Instructions
- In a clean glass jar, combine 1 cup of unbleached all-purpose flour with 1/2 cup of non-chlorinated water.
- Stir the mixture until it forms a thick paste, then cover the jar loosely with a lid or cloth.
- Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 24 hours.
- Each day, feed the starter by discarding half of the mixture and adding 1/2 cup of flour and 1/4 cup of water, mixing well.
- After 5-7 days of feeding, your sourdough starter should be bubbly and ready to use!
Notes
Make sure to use non-chlorinated water for optimal fermentation. Store your starter in the refrigerator if you’re not using it daily.
