Sourdough Starter Recipe

Follow these steps and in 7-14 days you’ll be baking your own sourdough bread!

Feedings should be done once every 24 hours, and the starter kept at room temperature while creating the mature starter. I keep mine in a kitchen cupboard. A digital kitchen scale is a must for this recipe!

Notes

Your starter is mature when it doubles in size 10-12 hours after each feeding and is bubbly on the top. Feedings should be done at least once every 12-24 hours when kept at room temperature. Once mature, the starter can be kept in the fridge for up to a week between feedings.
