Always use non-reactive containers and utensils (glass, plastic, or wood) to avoid affecting the starter's flavor and activity. The ideal temperature for fermentation is around 70-75°F (21-24°C). If your kitchen is colder, the starter may take longer to activate. If you notice a layer of dark liquid forming on top (hooch), it's a sign that the starter is hungry. Simply stir it back in before feeding. Don't be afraid to experiment with different flours to create unique flavor profiles in your sourdough.

May 3, 2024I've tried other sourdough starter recipes before, but this one is by far the best. The instructions are clear, and the starter is so active.
