Making a Sourdough Starter

First time making a sourdough starter, so wish me luck! 🍞

Her lovely name is Doughlene!

Materials used:

*Glass jar 🫙

*1 cup of unbleached flour

* A little under 1 cup of filtered water

Give her a little mix! Make sure the lid just sits on the top and it’s not pushed down all the way so she can do her thing!

Any advice from those who have do this before is always welcomed and appreciated ☺️

Making a sourdough starter is an exciting and rewarding process. Sourdough bread has gained immense popularity due to its unique flavor and health benefits. To successfully create your sourdough starter, using unbleached flour is essential, as it contains the necessary wild yeast and bacteria. Filtered water is crucial too, as chlorinated water can hinder the fermentation process. The mixing stage is vital; aim for a thick pancake batter consistency. Be patient, as the fermentation process can take anywhere from 5 to 14 days, depending on your environment. Daily feeding is key—replace half of the starter with equal parts flour and water to nourish the yeast. Throughout this journey, document your progress, and don't hesitate to seek advice from fellow bakers in the sourdough community. Embrace the art of sourdough baking and enjoy the process as much as the delicious end result!
