Sourdough starter

1. Add whole wheat flour and water into a jar and mix thoroughly. 2. Let it sit overnight. 3. Discard all but 10% of the mixture, and repeat step 1 4. Repeat steps 1 and 2 daily for 1 week before you start using it. Good Signal: A strong indicator that your starter is active is when it doubles in size 6 hours after a feeding. Storage: From this point on, you can store your mature starter in the fridge. Maintenance: Keep in mind that to keep it alive in the fridge, you'll need to repeat the feeding process (Steps 3) every 2 or 3 days. Discard Tip: I usually transfer the discarded sourdough to a different jar, which I use to make pancakes.
