  • 75 g water (room temperature)

Instructions

  1. 1

    --- To create your starter ---

  2. 2

    In a jar, add the flour and water and mix until it forms a gloopy paste similar to a pancake batter consistency.

  3. 3

    Partially cover the jar and keep in the kitchen at room temperature.

  4. 4

    Every day, add more flour and water and mix together, until it is 'ripe'. The mix will have a yeast like smell and will be covered in bubbles. This is an active starter.

    --- To maintain your starter ---

    Keep your starter in the fridge and 'feed' it once a week by adding more flour and water.

  7. 7

    Never use up all your starter, otherwise you will have to start the entire process again.
