Day 3: first bubbles

Hobby Corner · Sourdough

Look for small bubbles and a slightly sour smell. Now the feeding begins: remove most of the mixture and refresh the rest. Discarding keeps the jar from filling up with spent flour and keeps the ratio steady.

Each feeding

1. Remove all but about 50 g of the starter.
2. Add 50 g of flour and 50 g of water.
3. Stir well and scrape down the sides.
4. Mark the level with a rubber band, so you can see how far it rises.
