Day 5 - sourdough starter from scratch 👩🏻‍🍳

Day 5 is the same as the other days 🍞👩🏻‍🍳 #sourdoughbeginner #sourdoughjourney #sourdoughlife #sourdoughstarter #sourdoughbaking

2025/4/6 Edited to

On Day 5 of your sourdough starter journey, consistency is key! By now, your starter should be bubbly and rising, indicating it's thriving. Make sure to feed it regularly, ideally every 12-24 hours, using equal parts flour and water for best results. It's essential to monitor the temperature where your starter is kept; a warm environment helps with fermentation. If your starter doubles in size within 4-6 hours after feeding, you're on the right track! In addition to maintaining your starter, consider experimenting with different types of flour, such as whole wheat or rye, which can enhance flavor and activity. Remember to keep notes on its growth and how it responds to different feeding schedules. Sharing your experience with the #sourdoughbeginner and #sourdoughbaking communities can provide additional insights and support. Sourdough baking is as much about the journey as it is about the destination, so enjoy every moment!
