Day 7 doughlene starter

On Day 7, it's essential to maintain the health of your sourdough starter by discarding half of it before each feeding. This helps to manage its acidity and ensures a vigorous fermentation process. For this feeding, mix 1 and 1/2 cups of flour with 3/4 cup of warm water. Stir well to combine and cover the mixture, allowing it to ferment for the next 12 hours. When you return in the morning, you should notice that it has thickened significantly, indicating that your starter is developing beautifully. A well-fed starter at this stage will be key for future baking projects. In your sourdough journey, consistency is crucial; remember to maintain this feeding schedule to cultivate a lively and bubbly starter ready for use. Don't forget to engage with the sourdough community online, asking for tips and sharing experiences as you progress.
