Instructions

1
If your starter has a layer of dark liquid ('hooch') on top, stir it back into the starter.
2
Discard about half of your existing sourdough starter. It's best to dispose of the discard in the trash, not down the sink drain.
3
To the remaining starter in the jar, add the all-purpose flour.
4
Add the water to the jar.
5
Stir everything together thoroughly until it reaches a smooth, thick, pancake-batter-like consistency.
6
Use a marker to mark the current level of the starter on the outside of the jar to track its growth.
7
Cover the jar with its lid and place it in a warm spot, like a pantry, for approximately 24 hours before repeating the feeding process.
