How to Increase Your Sourdough Starter
A lot of you have asked me how to increase the amount of your sourdough starter. I'll walk you through exactly how to do that, as well as helpful tips for how to maintain a healthy sourdough starter and the best ways to use discard.
Ingredients
- 1/2 C Sourdough starter
- 1 C Flour
- 1/2 C Water
Instructions
- In a medium sized bowl, add 1/2 C (100g) active sourdough starter. If using discard, use a little less than 1/2 C because flat starter is more dense. You will be using 100g starter either way.
- Next, add 1 C flour (115 g) and 1/2 C water (115 g). Stir the mixture until all of the flour is absorbed and the sourdough starter is fully combined.
- Put the new starter in a container or whatever you want to store it in and leave it on the counter for 6-12 hours until bubbly. Now you have 2 additional cups of sourdough starter!
