Sourdough Starter Tips<\/h2> \r\n\r\n

What is the best flour for a sourdough starter?<\/h3> \r\nBread flour is best for sourdough starters, but all-purpose flour can also be used. Learn more about the different types of flour and when to use them<\/a>.\r\n\r\n

What is the best container to keep sourdough starter in?<\/h3> \r\nSelect a jar or ceramic container that\u2019s at least 4 quarts, which will give the starter lots of room to grow. A container with a lid can be helpful, too. Once your starter has been going for awhile, you can keep it in a smaller jar in the fridge. \r\n\r\n

Does sourdough starter go bad?<\/h3> \r\nSourdough starter can go bad if neglected. Make sure to keep on top of the feeding and discarding. The starter may darken, but if it turns another color or develops an offensive odor or mold, discard it and whip up a new one.\r\n\r\n

What happens if you don't feed your sourdough starter?<\/h3> \r\nForgetting to feed your sourdough starter for long enough periods will kill the yeast and organisms you\u2019ve worked hard to cultivate. After all, making sourdough is quite different than your traditional yeast bread making<\/a>. If you\u2019ve only missed one feeding, you may be able to bring it back with some feeding and careful watching. \r\n\r\n

Do you stir sourdough starter before using?<\/h3> \r\nTo use and replenish your sourdough starter, stir to blend in any liquid. Remove the amount of starter needed and bring to room temperature. For each \u00bd cup starter removed, add \u00bd cup flour and \u00bd cup warm water to the remaining starter and stir until smooth.
