Sourdough Starter

With our new dietary restrictions I have researched and found sourdough to be the best if one absolutely has to have bread. So I set out to learn how to make this myself. I have always been interested in sourdough but it’s really complicated to understand. So through trial and error this seems to work for now.

Starter

We followed this utube it’s awesome! https://youtu.be/GHIOmtuB2oc

Mix flour 50/50 - bread flour & wheat flour

1/2 c flour

1/3 c water

Repeat following steps for a week:

Morning 

3 Tbsp starter (discard rest)

1/2 c flour

1/3 c water

Evening

2 Tbsp flour

1 1/2 Tbsp water

We found that this took longer than 7 days...more like 12 days! Even then when we did the float test it still didn’t look right. But we forged ahead and made our first loaf of bread OMG!
