Sourdough Recipe
Two ingredients are basically needed to create sourdough: flour and water. Here are the simple steps to create sourdough:
Day 1: Mix equal weights of water and whole wheat flour. Generally, 0,11 LBS of water and 0,11 LBS of flour are sufficient. Put this mixture in a jar with a lid, but do not completely close the lid. Keep the door slightly ajar for ventilation. Let this mixture sit at room temperature for 24 hours.
Day 2: You probably won't see much change in the mix at this stage, but there may be some bubbling. Add 0,11 LBS of flour and 0,11 LBS of water, mix and leave for another 24 hours.
Day 3: At this stage, you should notice that your mixture is starting to bubble and emit a sour smell. This is a sign that bacteria and yeast are starting to work. Empty more than half of the jar and replace it with 0,11 LBS of water and 0,11 LBS of flour. Mix and leave for another 24 hours.
Days 4-7: Repeat the steps from Day 3 daily. During this time, your yeast should bubbling up and emit a pleasant sour smell.
Day 8 and beyond: At this point, your yeast should continue to have a nice bubbly texture and a pleasant scent when fed regularly every day. This indicates that your yeast is ready for use.
Note: The sourdough formation process can sometimes take longer and may vary depending on factors such as weather conditions, water and flour properties. It's important to monitor your yeast every day so you can notice possible spoilage (for example, foul odor or mold growth).
