Sourdough Starter – Day 7

Posted By Cenk On January 29, 2012 @ 11:58 pm In Bread | 3 Comments

Yet another uneventful day. The sourdough starter looks pretty much the same as yesterday.

The starter has to ferment predictably (rising and falling after each feeding) before preparing the leaven.

Needless to say, this much of rise is not enough.

I discard 80% of it, add flour & water, wipe the rim clean and put the cloth back on.
