How do I store the starter?

Store your starter in a mason jar with a loose-fitting lid. You can store at room temperature on your counter (starters perform best at 70-85ºF), but we do recommend storing your starter in the fridge to reduce feeding time and waste.

How do I feed my sourdough starter?

If storing on your countertop, you should feed your sourdough culture once every 24 hours using 1 part starter, 1 part water, and 2 parts flour. If you store it in the fridge, you only have to feed it once every 5-7 days.

What is the best flour and water for feeding my starter?

You may use just about any flour you like, but we recommend avoiding bleached flour, self-rising flour, or cake flour. Non-chlorinated, non-fluoridated water is best; avoid well water, distilled water, and reverse osmosis water.

What do I do with my sourdough starter discard?

You could throw it out, or put it in your compost. You can also keep it in a separate jar for up to a week at room temperature or a month in the fridge, and use it for all sorts of recipes, such as waffles, crackers, desserts, and more. (See below.)

How can I tell whether or not my starter is healthy?

The main thing to keep your eye on is making sure your starter is bubbling; if not, it's likely dead, due to using the wrong flour or water, an unsanitized jar, or screwing the lid on too lightly.
