Maintaining Your Sourdough Starter

Maintaining a sourdough starter culture at home is relatively easy. First, you need to mix equal parts flour and water in a jar and leave it out until it begins to bubble. Then you will need to discard half of it and feed it with fresh flour and water at least once a day. Keep the jar in a warm place and stir the mixture occasionally. With time, the mixture will begin to rise and fall predictably, and the culture will become stronger. It's important to use clean utensils and jars and to maintain a consistent feeding schedule to keep your sourdough starter healthy and active.
