Sourdough Maintenance

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Get yourself a clean, dry mixing bowl, set it on a kitchen scale, and spoon ~25 grams of starter into it.
  2. Pour in 100 grams of lukewarm water—a little warmer than room temperature—and stir.
  3. Add 100 grams of bread flour, and stir until fully incorporated.
  4. Empty the remainder into a separate bowl, clean your starter’s container with hot water (soap residue can mess with it), and dry it well.
  5. Put your refreshed starter in there, cover it, and leave it out at room temperature until you can see bubbles starting to form—an hour or two.
  6. Chuck it in the fridge.
