Riverside Bakery cic - Sourdough Starter

ONE PER ORDER ONLY! A share of our sourdough wheat starter for aspiring home bakers. Comes in a ziplock freezer bag. It will keep for a very long time, just keep in the fridge and refresh at least a couple of times before baking, in a ratio of around 10% starter to 90% fresh flour and water (hydration depends on preference). Wait around 12h between 'feeds' and look for bubbles. Can be frozen as a backup. Quantity is approximate! NOTE: The idea is to share some of our culture of yeast and bacteria with you. Once you have your first starter bag, you should not need another one. Simply feed it with the flour you have (ideally wholemeal) and keep in the fridge if you're not using it. It will start smelling like alcohol and liquid might separate after a while but this is fine and you can simply add more flour and water to get it bubbling again. If you haven't used it for a while, repeat the feeding process several times until you can see bubbles. Before baking, always make sure the starter looks bubbly and happy and active. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
