Ingredients
Instructions
To make a starter that is ready to use, you need between 7-10 days
- Day 1: In a glass jar, mix 100g water and 100g Caputo "00" Chef's Flour until well-combined. Seal with a lid or cover with a cloth, and keep it in a warm spot.
- Day 2: Take 100g of your sourdough mix from day 1 and mix it with 100g Caputo "00" Chef's Flour and 100g water. Mix well, cover it, and put it back in a warm spot. Discard the remainder of your sourdough mix.
- Follow the Day 2 Process for 7 days. Every day you will see some new bubbles in the mixture, meaning there is yeast activity.
- Once it is doubled in size, this means the yeast should have enough power to make dough rise.
- When you are not using the sourdough starter, close the jar with a lid and keep it in the refrigerator.
- You will need to refresh the starter once a week by repeating the same process as step 2.
