Скачать или смотреть The ultimate guide to easily make sourdough starter! 🙌

We are only going to need 4 ingredients:

1️⃣ 1 jar (glass, plastic, a tupperware, etc.), the crucial thing is that it has a lid.
2️⃣ 1 spoon.
3️⃣ Water (tap water).
4️⃣ Flour (all-purpose flour, baking flour, bread flour, whole wheat, rye, etc.).

The important thing is that the flour has starches, which are the sugars that the microorganisms will feed from and “transform” into our sourdough starter.

🌡️ Temperature is an important factor to take into account! The room temperature should be around 25°C (77°F). This is important as the jar will stay at room temperature until it ferments and the starter is ready.

🥄 The texture we ALWAYS have to look for is creamy, like a porridge. This is our guide star every time we feed and refresh the starter. This way, we can correct this by adding more water or flour, depending on what we see as necessary to obtain the desired texture.

⏳ The process to create a sourdough starter can take up to 5 days. Sometimes more, sometimes less. We will discard a portion of it and continue to feed it until the 5th day when we will notice that the dough will have doubled and even tripled in size. This will be the indication that it is ready to bake bread.

As a rule of thumb, 200 grams of sourdough starter are going to be used for every kilo of flour in the recipe.

There are now more excuses to not having your sourdough starter at home - it's super simple!
