Prepare Starter  [1:1:1 Process]

  • Discard all but 100g of the starter into another pot and keep for other sourdough discard recipes like pancakes or pretzels.
  • Add 100g tepid water and 100g flour (a mix of 50% ’00’ flour and 50% organic white rye is recommended) to the starter and mix well.
  • Scrape any off the sides back into the starter using a wet rubber spatula and then seal and leave at warm room temperature for around 6-7hrs until it has peaked (around double or triple in size).
  • Once peaked, give it a quick stir and it’s ready to be used for the dough.
