Sourdough Bread
Updated: Apr 4, 2020
About the starter:
To keep you starter going, add 2 tablespoons or more of flour and a bit of warm water, every 2 days, stir well.
To start making bread you will need 1 cup of starter, so add 1/2 cup of rye flour and 1/2 cup of warm water and let sit over night to create enough starter, so you can start making bread the next day.
If you are not using it for a longer time, the sourdough should be fine for two weeks in the fridge.
