One of the most amazing foods is sourdough bread. I find the commercial purchased breads lack that real sourdough flavour. They are often made using commercial yeast with a wave of either faux sourdough starter or even would you believe flavouring.

Sourdough is made by creating a wild starter. Once you have created the “mother” you will have genuine sourdough starter for life and amazing sourdough bread.

Ingredients

Plain flour
Water

Method

Day One

Add 3/4 cup flour to a glass bowl
Mix in 1/2 cup water
Cover with tea-towel and leave 24 hours at room temperature

Day Two – Seven

Discard 1/2 the mix
Add 1/2 cup flour to a glass bowl
Mix in 1/4 cup water
Cover with tea-towel and leave 24 hours at room temperature
Repeat for each of the days
Each day you should see bubbles on the top of the mixture
From here on in you can casually feed your “mother” I add a 1/4 cup of flour and a splash of water once a week if in the refridgerator.
The mix should smell a bit like a yeasty beer
