Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Homemade Sourdough Starter.
Step 1
To start your delicious journey, gather your ingredients: all-purpose flour, active dry yeast, and warm water.
Step 2
In a large, non-metallic bowl, combine the flour and gently sprinkle the yeast on top.
Step 3
Next, pour in the warm water and mix everything together until it’s well blended.
Step 4
Now, cover the bowl loosely with a cloth or some plastic wrap, and find a cozy spot in your kitchen for it to ferment.
Step 5
Let it sit for about 4 to 8 days, checking in on it daily.
Step 6
You’ll know your starter is ready when it’s bubbly and has developed a delightful sour aroma.
Step 7
Just a quick tip: if you see any unusual colors, like pink or orange, it’s best to discard the mixture and start fresh.
Step 8
Enjoy the process, and soon you’ll have a vibrant starter ready for your baking adventures!.
