Ingredients
- ¼ cup ripe sourdough starter
- 1 cup flour
Instructions
- Pinch off about ¼ cup of sourdough and place in a glass jar or non-reactive container.
- With a fork work in 1 cup of flour or more until the dough is very stiff, dry, and crumbly. Heap some more flour on top.
- Place a lid on the jar and place the sourdough starter in the refrigerator.
- The evening before you want to bake, take the jar out of the refrigerator.
- Add some filtered or distilled water to it. With a fork, stir the water into the sourdough starter until you have a thick consistency. Don't worry about any remaining clump.
- Let this mixture sit out at room temperature until the next morning.
- Use your active sourdough starter according to the recipe.
- Don't forget to keep back ¼ cup of starter to repeat the process.
Notes
- if you are not sure your sourdough starter is active enough for baking you can always add a pinch of commercial yeast
- or you can add one cycle of discard/feeding to make it more active
