SOURDOUGH STARTER ✨
details below, but COMMENT “GUIDE” + i’ll send my simplified guide to creating a sourdough starter straight to your inbox 🙌🏻
don’t be intimidated by recipes that call for grams + using a scale for all things sourdough
there’s no need to overthink it
2026 is your year to make that starter, don’t wait another second
YOU NEED
- all purpose flour
- filtered water, warmed
WHAT TO DO
DAY ONE - add 1/2 c ap flour + 1/4 c warm water into a glass jar + stir
it should resemble a thick paste (if needed add an extra tsp of water)
cover loosely with a lid (i used parchment paper with a canning band to secure it) + store in a warm spot
feed every 24 hours
pro tip: add an elastic band around the jar, level with the sourdough + move each day - once it starts rising this will come in handy
DAY TWO - repeat day one
DAY THREE - repeat day one
DAY FOUR - by now you should have a bubbly surface + it should smell sour, repeat day one
DAY FIVE - repeat day one
DAY SIX - has it started doubling? if so, discard half and repeat day one
when it starts to double is where that elastic band comes in handy
i also transferred mine to a larger jar at this point
DAY SEVEN - you have your starter! repeat day one
now you have the option to continue to feed everyday if you’re going to become a sourdough master OR, do what i did, and throw it in the fridge to feed once a week
every week you’ll continue to discard half and then repeat day one
and if you’re wondering what discard is, it’s the portion of your starter you remove before a feed and there are plenty of ways to use it! so don’t throw it away!!!
