Doughlene day 10Final Day
We will keep watching and feeding every 12 hours until consistent growth to be able to make of first sourdough! #sourdoughcommunity #sourdoughjourney #sourdoughliving #sourdoughbeginner #sourdoughdiscard
On the final day of our Doughlene journey, we observe significant growth in our sourdough starter. By discarding most of the starter and retaining only 1/2 cup, we mix in 1 1/4 cups of flour and 2/3 cup of water, ensuring a thorough blend. This consistent feeding method every 12 hours is crucial to achieving the desired bubbles and doubling in size, which indicates a healthy fermentation process. Many bakers recommend checking for a lively texture and the presence of nice bubbles, often signaling readiness for baking or further development. The experience gained during this process is invaluable for both new and seasoned sourdough enthusiasts who seek to master their skills. With ongoing practice and attention to detail, your home-baked sourdough can become a delightful staple in your kitchen! Whether you’re part of the #sourdoughcommunity or just starting your #sourdoughjourney, these tips will guide you through the next phases of sourdough creation.
