Description
Create your own Traditional Sourdough Starter at home using just two simple ingredients. This starter will enhance your baking with rich flavors and the perfect rise.
Ingredients
- Unbleached all-purpose flour
- Water and preferably non-chlorinated fresh water
Instructions
- In a clean jar, combine 100g of unbleached all-purpose flour with 100g of non-chlorinated fresh water.
- Mix until smooth and cover loosely with a lid or cloth to allow airflow. Let it sit at room temperature for 24 hours.
- For the next 5 to 7 days, feed the starter daily with equal parts flour and water, discarding half of it before each feeding.
- Once it is bubbly and doubles in size within a few hours, your Traditional Sourdough Starter is ready for baking!
Notes
Make sure to use non-chlorinated water for the best results, as chlorine can inhibit yeast growth.
