Before you make a sourdough bread, you need to make a sourdough starter. This is a culture of flour and water for growing wild yeast and developing those bacteria. Having a “ripe” or fully developed, starter ensures a good flavor and rise development in your sourdough bread.
You can make your own starter in about 5-7 days. You can use the yeast water to make your starter.
Once you have a starter, you never have to make one again. feed once a week, and take it out 1-2 days before you make a bread dough
You also can buy a sourdough starter by goldrush or our sourdough starter to speed up the process and different kind of starter become different flavor in your dough.
