How to make a sourdough starter!
How to make a sourdough starter
Baking sourdough is time consuming but it is well worth it! It’s a great activity to do with your family on a weekend. At the restauramt we often have sourdough toast on our charcuterie boards and we also use sourdough for our English Muffins!
Sourdough Starter
The Ingredients
250 grams of All Purpose Flour
250 grams of room temperature water
Glass or plastic container large enough to hold all the ingredients
Git-R-Done
What you’re going to do is weigh the flour and water separately and combine them in your vessel. Mix them with your hand. if your container has a lid, do not close it all the way so the gas can escape. Otherwise you can cover the container with plastic wrap and poke holes in the plastic. Store the starter on the counter in your kitchen for 24 hours. Now you’re going to need to feed the starter every 12 hours by doing this: Mix together 250 grams of flour and water with 150 grams of the old starter. After 6 feedings the starter will be ready for baking!
Pro Tip: Add some starter to pancake batter for sourdough pancakes.
Pro Tip 2: After 6 feedings you only need to feed the starter once a day.
Cheers!
