Day 1: Mix 1 cup flour + 1 cup water in a glass bowl or mason jar
Cover with a tea towel for 24 hours
Tip: Use only unbleached flour. Using a bleached flour could impair the success of your starter
Day 2-5: Discard ½ of the mixture
Add 1 cup flour + 1 cup water
Mix and cover for 24 hours
Continue daily feedings until starter is active and bubbly
Keep starter clean by washing utensils and containers thoroughly to avoid unwanted aromas
Consider changing the flour or water you're using if needed
Store in the kitchen counter and feed her every day OR put her in the fridge and feed her weekly
When ready to bake, take starter out of fridge, let her come to room temperature then give her a feeding
Once bubbly and happy again it's time to bake
