How to Feed Your Sourdough Starter (5 Steps)

Once you have created the perfect sourdough starter, the key to keeping it going is to keep it fed, especially during the times you are not using it often. Feeding your sourdough starter is not difficult and only takes a few minutes of time every week or ten days. Failure to feed your starter will cause the starter to die and become unusable in bread making.

Things You'll Need

  • Measuring cups
  • Water
  • Wooden spoon
  • Flour
  • Sourdough starter

Instructions

  1. Remove 1 cup of starter from your original sourdough starter. Use this to make bread, waffles or biscuits. If you don't have a desire to use it, place it in a jar and give it to a friend who likes to bake.

  2. Add 1/2 cup water to the original starter. Stir until it is blended.

  3. Add 1 cup of flour to the starter. Stir until the starter is smooth.

  4. Allow the entire starter to sit at room temperature until the mixture begins to bubble.

  5. Cover the container holding the starter and refrigerator until it is needed.
