Beginner Sourdough Starter Recipe

x (5lb) bag all purpose flour (I use either KAF, Trader Joe’s, or Whole Foods)

cup (60g) whole wheat flour (I use KAF whole wheat)

Water

For best results, it’s always a good thing to weigh your ingredients in baking. However, when creating a starter, using measuring cups is fine.

Only a small amount of whole wheat flour is used to jumpstart the fermentation process. You can find smaller bags in most grocery stores if you don’t want to commit to the larger 5lb bag.

You will also need one large 3/4 L jar, or something of similar size (I use this one.).
