Sourdough Day5

❤️❤️Today it was a little thin, but I think I got the consistency back to doughy.

I made the mistake of only discarding 60 g yesterday when I should have done 90 g, so today I discarded 90 g and added 60g back.

I am so incredibly new to this, so I am learning as I go!

If you're new to baking sourdough bread, you might find it a bit daunting at first. Achieving the right consistency is key. Discarding the appropriate amount of starter is vital to prevent overly thin dough. Typically, beginners learn through trial and error, which is completely normal! Remember to monitor your dough's development, as factors like temperature and humidity greatly influence your sourdough’s behavior. Engaging with fellow bakers online or through forums such as #sourdoughbeginners can provide invaluable resources, tips, and support throughout your baking journey. Don't hesitate to share your own experiences and recipes, as the sourdough community thrives on shared knowledge! Keeping a journal of your sourdough experiments can also be helpful for future batches. Happy baking!

On the second day of your sourdough starter it's time to feed. You might see liquid on the top of your starter, that is called hooch. Hooch is a natural byproduct of fermentation. This just means your starter needs to be fed as it has used all of its food source. Repeat the steps on the slide

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!
