How To Feed Sourdough Starter With Fresh Milled Flour
How To Feed Sourdough Starter With Fresh Milled Flour. I get a lot of questions about how to feed and maintain a sourdough starter with Fresh Milled Flour. So, I am going to try to explain it and keep it as simple as possible.
Equipment
- 1 Kitchen Scale
Ingredients
- 25 g sourdough starter
- 50 g filtered water
- 50 g fresh milled flour
Instructions
- First, in a clean bowl, pour out an amount of sourdough starter. Weigh it in grams. (For an Example, let's use 25 grams of starter)
- In the same bowl, pour double the amount of filtered water and stir (For the same example, use 50 grams of water)
- Next, Mill the same weight of flour as water. (For that example, mill 50 grams of wheat berries, which will yield 50 grams of flour)
- Mix this all together so there is no dry flour showing.
- Store in a container that is NOT airtight!
- If storing on your counter, feed once per day around the same time of day.
- If storing in the fridge, feed once per week.
