@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

Sourdough is so amazing. I love that we can have 5 grams left and we’re set for life.

This helps me because I was always afraid to start because I wouldn’t use a massive amount of it, that small jar seems perfect for day to day

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

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.

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

I’m a sourdough hoarder! I keep jars and jars, afraid that I’ll do something wrong and lose it 😫. This video helped me.

There’s this woman on here that I follow and I love it because she uses cups instead of grams. Thank you so much for your tips.

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

Hi I was gifted a starter that was kept in the fridge so I put it in the fridge 2 days ago when I got it I was wondering what I should do with it because I leave for a week or how I should keep it alive?

I have a 15 day old starter and I cannot get it to double/rise. Do you have any suggestions on what I could be doing wrong? I feed a 1:2:2 ratio, feed with unbleached bread flour and keep it in my oven with the oven light on. It is bubbly but does not rise.

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?

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?

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