Instructions

1
Start with a small amount of sourdough starter in a jar (about 1 tablespoon, or the remnants left after discarding).
2
Add the all-purpose flour to the jar.
3
Mix thoroughly with a spatula until all the flour is incorporated. The mixture will be very stiff and form a shaggy dough.
4
Cover the jar loosely with a lid and let it ferment at room temperature.
5
Allow the starter to ferment for 8-12 hours, or until it has peaked and is active and bubbly, before using it for baking.
