Day 2 of my sourdough starter

2024/12/11 Edited to

... Read moreAs you embark on your sourdough starter journey, it's essential to understand what’s occurring during these early stages. Day 2 is a crucial point where signs of fermentation should start to appear. Look for bubbles forming on the surface and a slight increase in volume, which indicates that the wild yeasts and bacteria are becoming active. Maintaining the right temperature is vital; ideally, your starter should be kept in a warm spot, around 75°F to 85°F (24°C to 29°C). It’s also important to feed your starter regularly. A common ratio for feeding your starter on Day 2 is to use equal parts flour and water, ensuring that you mix thoroughly to incorporate air, which assists in yeast development. To enhance your sourdough experience, consider experimenting with different types of flour. Whole wheat or rye flour can provide additional nutrients that help your starter thrive. As you continue to nurture your starter, keep a journal or take daily photos to track its progress. This not only aids in understanding its behavior but also adds a personal touch to your baking journey. With patience and attention, your starter will soon be ready for its first bake! Remember, every starter is unique, and the journey may vary; enjoy the process of creating your own perfect sourdough starter.

Sourdough Starter Schedule
This is the standard way to start a sourdough starter. I've found using bread flour with a high protein percentage works best and had my starter very strong. Once this process is done. You can either feed it daily or come up with a schedule that works for you. I typically feed mine Sunday night

Sourdough Starter: Day 4
Day 4 and I’m not seeing any activity. On one hand the little excitement I got from the false rise also came with some worry. I was worried because there was too much activity too soon. In my experience with making a sourdough starter from scratch it takes a couple days for that kind of activity.
