Keeping Your Sourdough Starter Alive

Having a Sourdough Starter is a great thing but they do require some work

Sourdough Bread Recipe & maintenance

Feeding your SourDough Starter

When kept at room temperature:
If kept at room temperature you will need to feed at least once a day. You may have to discard some of your starter to allow room in your jar for fresh feeding. You can use it to make a pancake or even follow the Rogues Sourdough Cracker Recipe.

Use even amounts of water and flower to feed.
Add 25 to 100gm Flour
Add 25 to 100gm warm water
Mix well let ferment

When keeping starter in Fridge:
You will need to feed at least once a week.
If you’re not going to be making bread for a while you can put your starter to sleep for up to about 7 to 10 days by feeding it well then placing it in the fridge. When you pull it out let it warm up for a couple hours and start feeding it in small amounts.

When you want to use it to cook you need to double up its size so you can cook as you may need up to 500gm of starter depending on recipe.
