Anyone can make sourdough bread at home. But you need active sourdough starter for bread. You don’t need chemical yeast or anything to made starter. Its a no discard method. So you don’t need to discard or waste the starter

I am showing you every day activities of starter. You can see all the rise and fall of a sourdough starter while making. I always follow this method without any discard or wastage.

You need only flour, water and little patience. It may take 7 to 14 days to make active starter depend on the climate. Fully activated starter will becomes double and bubbly. Never keep your starter in kitchen cabinets. Always keep on kitchen counter or a table near window. Never keep under direct sunlight but best to place the jar of starter near a sunny window.

If you want to make your bread next day take out a few spoon of starter in a bowl. Add 1/4 cup flour and little less water. Mix well. Cover and keep aside for overnight. Make the dough next day morning. Whenever you want to make bread take out the starter one day before. Feed it and let it fully activated. Make dough when starter becomes double and bubbly.

Notes

1. You can use all purpose flour or maida, whole wheat flour or atta or mix rye flour. Rye flour used for fast fermentation.

2. Keep your starter near sunny window but not under direct sunlight. Store rest of the starter in refrigerator.
