or click the button below to enlarge all text
- Weigh 70g of the strong white flour into a 1litre kilner jar and add 70ml of warm water. Stir until all the lumps have gone.
- Seal the jar and leave in a warm place.
- Every day over 7 days, feed the starter with another 70g of flour and 70ml of water, stirring to make sure there are no lumps.
- After 3 or 4 days bubbles will start to appear.
- At the end of the 7 days the sourdough starter can now be stored in the fridge until you are ready to use it. You will need to feed it occasionally or when it stops bubbling.
- When you are ready to make your sourdough loaf, take the starter out of the fridge the day before you need it.
