A guide titled 'Sourdough: for beginners' outlines a 6-day process for creating a sourdough starter, including daily feeding instructions and ingredient quantities. It features an illustration of a baked sourdough loaf and lists necessary ingredients like a glass jar, filtered water, bread flour, a small rubber spatula, and measuring cups.

Sourdough starter : for beginners

TIP #1 : For your first measurement, weigh the flour using a kitchen scale so you can get an idea of how the mixture should feel. Do not weigh the measuring cup! It should be like a thick paste, like peanut butter. If you need to add a little more water to incorporate the flour, that is OK too!
