Equipment

Ingredients
For daily feeding for approximately 7 days
- 25 grams whole wheat flour
- 25 grams room temperature water
Instructions
Day 1:
- In a clean glass jar, I like to use a 32 ounce one, add 25 grams of whole wheat flour and 25 grams of room temperature filtered water.
- Mix until there are no dry pieces of flour left. Scrape down the sides of your jar to get everything to the bottom.
- Loosely (not sealed tight) cover your jar and place somewhere warm to rise for 24 hours. Good places are in the oven or in the microwave wrapped in a towel.
Day 2-5:
- Each day at the same time, add 25 grams of whole wheat flour and 25 grams of room temperature filtered water.
- Mix until there is no dry flour left and scrape the sides down.
- Cover loosely and store somewhere warm until the next days feeding.
Day 6 & 7:
- Feed the daily 25 grams of flour and 25 grams of water. On day 6, use a rubber band to mark your sourdough jar where the last feeding is. You will be able to see if your sourdough starter has doubled in size.By day 7 or 8 the starter should be doubling in size within about 12 hours after feeding.After it is doubling in size, it is active and ready to bake with!
