PdfHow to Refresh A Dried Sourdough Starter
Refreshing dried starter is sooo easy.
Cover a few grams of dried starter with filtered water. 3-5g of dried starter is plenty, it is powerful stuff. 5-10g of water is enough if you need a number. Let it soak overnight in a
covered container.
Next day, add enough unbleached flour to make a thick paste.
5g of flour is enough to start. Stir until there is no dried flour.
Cover.
You will likely see a few bubbles the next day. Stir in equal parts flour and water. Cover.
You should be ready to go. Feed daily by discarding all but a small amount of fresh starter and adding equal amounts of flour and water. This is a basic 1:1:1 feeding ratio.
Tips
• Keep your starter warm. Ideally in the Goldilocks Zone (75-820F).
• Use warm (let's call it Goldilocks Water), filtered water. • Keep it out of direct sunlight.
