The Ultimate Food Geek continues the experiment of creating sourdough starter from 4 different flours. (Part 3: • Sourdough Starter - Part 3 ) (Questions and problems: • Troubleshooting Simple Sourdough an... ) • Printable recipe: https://ultimatefoodgeek.com/2024/03/... • My Kitchen Toys: https://kit.co/UltimateFoodGeek/my-ki... • After your Day 5 feeding, keep the starter at room temp until it doubles in volume. • If it DOESN'T double in volume, wait until the yeast activity begins to subside and the starter loses volume, up to 3-4 days. When you noticed decreasing activity, stir to deflate, discard about half the starter (down to approximately 8 ounces, total), then feed with 4 ounces white flour and 4 ounces filtered water. (You may continue to feed the original starting flour, but whole grain flours do not offer as much food as processed white flours, so ideally feed with bread flour, unbleached, or bleached all-purpose flour.) • Continue this cycle, leaving the starter at room temp, and ONLY feeding when the starter begins to show decreasing activity. • When the starter can double its volume in 24 hours, perform another discard and feed. Let the starter sit for 4 hours at room temp, then pull 4 ounces of starter to make a test loaf. Place remaining starter in the fridge. • If 4 ounces of starter can rise a full loaf of dough to double its original volume within 24 hours, your starter is mature. Keep it refrigerated unless feeding. • You only need to feed when you are down to 4 ounces of starter or less. There is no need to feed before baking a loaf, if you use my method ( • (OLD) Simple Sourdough for Lazy Peopl... ) • Feed by AT LEAST doubling weight of remaining starter with equal parts flour and filtered water. (It's okay to triple, quadruple, or more...just make sure you AT LEAST double.) If you keep your starter in a quart sized container and use 4 ounces at a time, after baking 3 loaves you'll be down to 4 ounces, so feeding with 6 ounces flour and 6 ounces water will bring you back to 1 pound of starter. • After feeding, leave starter on the countertop at room temp for 1 hour before refrigerating. • This starter can live 2+ months in the fridge without a feeding. • • (Note: As an Amazon associate, if you buy something from my links, I may get a few cents!)
