@brynn_ann: Sourdough Starter Explained What is a sourdough starter? An active starter is a living culture of wild yeast and bacteria that’s used to make your dough rise. Because your starter is a live culture, a tiny amount can be fed, grown and scaled up into as much starter as you need for baking. That’s why I don’t keep huge jars of starter sitting on my counter. Once you understand that concept, sourdough starters feel a lot less intimidating. 🎥 FEEDING RATIOS: Video Posted on 8/25/25 FEEDING RATIOS USED: Tiny Jar: 1:5:5 (5g starter : 25g flour : 25g water) Total When Peaked = 55g Big Jar: 1:2:2 (50g Starter : 100g flour : 100g water) Total When Peaked = 250g I really hope this helps but please let me know if you have any questions 💛 #sourdough #sourdoughstarter #sourdoughbread #sourdoughbaking #sourdoughforbeginners
it stays on the counter if I feed everyday? if im not feeding it goes in the fridge?

If you started with 5g do you do 5g of flour and 5g of water?

Is 5 to 55 a multiple of 10? Could it possibly be a multiple of 11?

My starter is a little over a month old and doubles every feed, but my dough will not bulk ferment. 😭

bae🌸bea :
So if I have an “active” starter that isn’t doubling but it’s bubbly- I still feed it everyday? It doesn’t HAVE to peak for me to feed it?

How do you know when it peaks? I don’t know it’s highest point until it starts to fall. How do I know that’s the highest point it’ll go before it falls again?

I had a starter that seemed ready, was doubling every day in a row and smelled sweet and passed the float test. Randomly, it lost all bubbles, isn’t moving at all, still smells sweet but it isn’t showing any good signs really! What happened and how can I fix it?

Amanda :
This feels like a dumb question, but how do you feed it everyday without making a ton of starter??

Debbie Hill :
My starter is almost a month old and does not “grow” and doesn’t smell?? There are tiny bubbles but no activity. Feeding wheat and bread flour just not sure what is happening. In Seattle area. May be the temp of my environment so I bought a sourdough warmer to see if that works.

What flour is best for making a starter? I use all purpose but i don’t know if that’s the best to use.
