Sourdough Starter
- 1 tsp strong flour
- 1 tsp warm water
Method
Mix 1 tsp of flour & 1 tsp of warm water into a clean jam jar. Cover with the lid but do not tighten, leave in a warm area for 24 hrs – repeat this for 5 days until the the mixture is fermenting.
After the 5 days this can be sorted in the fridge until needed – I’ve had my jar on the go for 5 years
