Sourdough Starter Recipe/ Guide/ Schedule

Day 1
In a glass jar with loose fitting lid stir together 50 g water and 50 g flour until smooth. Cover loosely and set aside at room temperature for 24 hours.

Day 2
Stir in an additional 50 g water and 50 g flour to the starter. Cover loosely and set aside again for another 24 hours.

Day 3
Stir in an additional 50 g water and 50 g flour to the starter. Cover loosely and set aside again for another 24 hours.

Day 4
Stir in an additional 50 g water and 50 g flour to the starter. Cover loosely and set aside for 24 hours.

Day 5
Your starter should be ready to bake with. It should have doubled in size, smell sour and be filled with lots of bubbles. If it hasn’t, continue with the feedings for another day or two.

Maintain
To keep and maintain your starter all you have to do to maintain it is to mix the same amount in weight of starter, water and flour. So, for example I used 50 grams of starter (you can use or discard the remaining starter), 50 water and 50 flour but you can do 100 g of each or 75 grams or 382 grams of each, you get the point. Feed it every 24 hours if you’re keeping it at room temperature and every 4/5 days if you keep it in the fridge.

Days 1 - 4: 50 g water & 50 g water for 24 hrs. Day 5: bake with some starter! Make sure to keep and maintain (50g starter/ 50 g water and 50g flour) and feed every 24 hours if at room temp!

Finally straight to the point and easy for people like me that don't have a clue on how to start. Thank you soooo much ❤️

Great vid. For those without a scale just use 2 parts flour to 1 part water VOLUME to feed. ie 2 tsp flour to one tsp water. This will be in the ballpark and will work fine. One thing to watch is having the starter too wet. This can cause yellow fluid to gather at the top each morning which indicates your starter is too hydrated.

So it was that easy! Thank you! The measurements radio are 1:1 for about 5 days, then 1:1:1 so easy to remember thanks again!

Finally a recipe without the lengthy talking and videos. Wow I’ve watched videos trying to understand how to make a starter without all the other details that I don’t need, and finally this one I found. Thanks

[duker]

I tried 2 previous recipes for a starter this month and now tried your recipe~wish I had tried your recipe first!!! It is easy and worked right away the first day! I even used some of the discard to put into one of the previous unsuccessful starters I tried and it even got that going like crazy! So I have healthy starter coming out of my ears lol.. thank you so much. This does not have to be hard! Used a good wheat flour and very pleased.

[airisamaban]

Thank you so much!
I was hesitant about making sourdough but this one seems pretty easy and no waste +A 👌😶

[Titanette]

Been watching all over YouTube about how to use starter but this one is the easiest and not complicated, thanks

[mirian]

The most helpful recipe of starter, super simple and easy to understand.
I dont know why people complicate it so much, its not a rock science for goodness sake!
Thank you for sharing xx

Question here…. If we want to store our starter after “day 5” in the fridge, lid has to be closed right? And we feed the starter every 4 days or so? I’m switching from store bought bread to homemade bread like completely. Thank you for this video! I have watched so so many and end up having more questions then answers. But yours seem so simple and straight to the point.

[warrenyorkhypnohacks]

The easiest and most straightforward explanation I’ve seen. Thank you!

[Kezz]

Brilliant....I watched a zillion other videos on this but yours knocked them all outta the well explained & I love your dry sense of humour

[samanthakempson]

Finally a simple straight to the point video and recipe. Thank you!

[naliniganguly]

Starter making sounds so intimidating, however after watching your video it doesn’t seem so hard. The best part is you are not doing the discard method which I really love as it seems such a waste to discard pricey flour nowadays. Thank you so much for doing this.
