What is a sourdough starter?
Sourdough starters are the way people use to make bread way back when before we had commercially available yeast. With this simple method you can make your own yeast substitute with no special equipment in under a week. Starters are used in bread, pizza dough, waffles, pancakes, rolls, and our delicious sourdough crepes.
So whether you are out of yeast, looking for a natural way of cooking instead of using yeast, or looking to try something new – you will love making “wild” yeast. The substance is made from the flour’s natural bacteria, water and the wild yeast in the air around us.
If you don’t have a starter on hand, make one with a 4-cup wide mouth mason jar. Measure in 1 cup whole wheat flour and 1/2 cup filtered water. Use a fork to mix it up into a thick paste (like peanut butter). Cover with damp towel or plastic wrap and let it sit on the counter (70-80 degrees) for 2 days. Discard half the starter; add 1 cup bread flour and 1/2 cup filtered water to the remaining starter in the mason jar. Cover for another day. Now twice a day for the next 3 days (am & pm) discard all but 1/2 cup of starter; add 1 cup bread flour and 1/2 cup filtered water. Now take 1 tablespoon from the top (without stirring) and put in glass of water – if it floats you are ready, if not feed it another couple days. Hint: If you need a break – put the mix in the refrigerator Use 1/3 cup starter to make bread. Store remaining starter in the fridge in sterile mason jar – make sure to feed it every week.
If it smells bad, start over you may have a contaminated jar. It should smell sweet =)
