@brynn_ann: How to Wake Up Your Sourdough Starter From the Fridge ✨IMPORTANT: Never feed your starter before it has peaked and eaten all the food. Feeding before peak ➡️ weakens your starter. This applies to ALL established starters, no matter how you store it. The refrigerator basically acts like a “pause button” for your starter. If it’s only been in the fridge for a week or two, it probably hasn’t finished eating yet. Here’s what to do: STEP 1: Break the airtight seal and place your lid loosely on top. STEP 2: Set it on the counter at room temp. and let it eat/peak. *It doesn’t matter how long this takes, just wait until it peaks. STEP 3: Feed your starter like you normally would. 📌 IMPORTANT NOTES: • If your starter has only been in the fridge 1-2 weeks, you might be able to bake with it right away. • If it’s been in the fridge longer than that, you may need a few peak-to-peak feedings to get it strong and balanced again. I always like to give my starter at least a couple of peak-to-peak feedings before I use it for baking (no matter how long it’s been in the fridge). I really hope this helps but let me know if you have any questions 💛 #sourdough #sourdoughstarter #sourdoughbaking #sourdoughforbeginners #sourdoughtips
