Getting a Sourdough Starter…..started.
I’ve been wanting to get a new Sourdough Starter going for quite a while, and finally this week………(insert drumroll here) I got it going! It’s VERY SIMPLE to do– just a matter of actually doing it. So here we go……..
Gather up your supplies; flour, water a glass container and a wooden spoon or spatula!
To get our Sourdough Starter going we need a Glass container (nothing else will do), 2 cups of flour (I used 1 Cup Rye, 1 Cup White/Wheat) and 2 Cups of Water and a wooden spoon or spatula and some cheesecloth & a rubber band or ribbon.Ready?
Dump your flour into your glass container, dump your water into your glass container…stir…really well….
Day 1 : Flour & Water all mixed up
A looksee inside the jar
Cheesecloth....so versatile!
Once you have it mixed up cover it with a piece of cheesecloth (this can be hard to find–I get mine HERE) and tie with a ribbon, string or a nice big rubber band is handy!
Set it someplace warm for 24 hours, and come back tomorrow for the next step…….. 
Told ya this was simple!
Setting for 24 hours all toasty next to the woodstove!
Won’t be long now and we’ll have starter– yay!
