Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

  1. In a clean glass jar, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 1 cup of water.
  2. Stir the mixture until there are no dry flour clumps.
  3. Cover the jar loosely with a lid or cloth to allow airflow.
  4. Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 24 hours.
  5. After 24 hours, discard half of the starter and feed it with another 1 cup of flour and 1 cup of water.
  6. Repeat the feeding process every 24 hours for about 5-7 days until the starter is bubbly and has doubled in size.
  7. Your sourdough starter is now ready to use for baking!

Notes

  • Use filtered or bottled water for best results.
  • Keep the starter in a warm place, ideally around 70°F to 75°F.
  • If the starter develops a dark liquid on top, it’s called hooch and can be stirred back in or poured off.
