Steps:
- Day 1:To begin your starter, mix 50g flour with 50g tepid water in a jar or, better still, a plastic container. Make sure all the flour is incorporated and leave, semi-uncovered, at room temperature for 24 hrs.
- Day 2:Mix 50g flour with 50g tepid water and stir into yesterday's mixture. Make sure all the flour is incorporated and leave, semi-uncovered, at room temperature for another 24 hrs.
- Day 3:Mix 50g flour with 50g tepid water and stir into yesterday's mixture. Make sure all the flour is incorporated and leave, semi-uncovered, at room temperature for another 24 hrs.
- Day 4:You should start to see some activity in the mixture now; there should be some bubbles forming and bubbling on top. Mix 50g flour with 50g tepid water and stir into yesterday's mixture. Make sure all the flour is incorporated and leave, semi-uncovered, at room temperature for another 24 hrs.
- Day 5:The mixture should be very active now and ready for making your levain (starter). If it's not bubbling, continue to feed it on a daily basis until it does. When it's ready, it should smell like yogurt.
- You now have a starter, which is the base to the bread. You'll need to look after it, but naming is optional! Keep it in the fridge (it will stay dormant) and 24 hrs before you want to use it, pour half of it off and feed it with 100g flour and 100g water. Leave it at room temperature and it should become active again. The longer the starter has been dormant, the more times it will need to be refreshed - the process of pouring off half the starter and replacing it with new flour and water - to reactivate. If your starter is ready to use, a teaspoonful of the mixture should float in warm water.The starter can now be used to make white sourdough bread.

- 9 AM (sample feeding time): Let's say you have about 120 g of sourdough starter. The first step is to remove half, about 60 g, into a separate bowl (use a spoon or pour it out).What's leftover in the bowl- the amount you just removed- is called sourdough discard. The discard can be used to make recipes like Sourdough Pancakes. Or, if discolored and smelly, you can just throw it out (we'll talk more about this later).
- Now, you're going to feed what's left in the jar.How much flour and water does your starter need?Because we all have different quantities of starter, bakers feed by ratio. Common practice is to feed your starter with equal parts flour and water by weight. I follow a feeding ratio of 1:1:1 (sourdough starter, flour, water).So, let's continue with our example: You had 120 g of starter and removed half. You now have 60 g of sourdough starter in the jar. Feed it with 60 g flour + 60 g of water. Mix well with a fork, scraping down the sides as needed until the texture turns into a thick, lump-free batter. Place the lid on top. TIP: The 1:1:1 feeding ratio by weight can be applied to any quantity of sourdough starter. If you have 40 g of starter, feed it with 40 g flour + 40 g water. If you have 90 g of starter, feed it with 90 g four + 90 g water.
- Place your starter in a warm spot to rise and activate, ideally 75-80 F. Your starter is active when it shows the following signs: - Doubles in size - Small and large bubbles appear - Spongey or fluffy texture- Pleasant aroma When can sourdough starter be used to make dough? Plan on 2-12 hrs. depending on temperature. The activation process not instant. Place a rubber band around the base of the jar to measure the growth as it continues to rise.Once your starter is active, it won't stay double in size forever. You have a 1-2 hr. window before it falls back down. Do the float test to check for readiness.What is the Float Test? Drop 1 tsp. of starter into a glass of water; if it floats to the top, it's ready to use. Do the test only when your starter has doubled (not after it has collapsed and lost strength).How to use sourdough starter?Pour off and weigh the quantity of bubbly active starter needed for your Sourdough Bread Recipe. Afterwards, you'll need to feed the jar of starter again
