Instructions

1
Identify if your starter is hungry. A thin layer of dark liquid on top, called 'hooch', is a sign it needs to be fed.
2
Stir the hooch back into the sourdough starter until combined.
3
Discard a portion of the starter. The amount isn't specified, but typically you'd leave about 1/4 cup in the jar.
4
Add bread flour to the remaining starter in the jar.
5
Add water to the jar.
6
Mix the starter, flour, and water thoroughly until it forms a thick, consistent paste.
7
Once fed, you can store the starter in the refrigerator.
