How it Works
A proven, step-by-step method for creating a strong, reliable sourdough starter at home.
Start Your Starter
Combine rye flour and water in your jar, mix until smooth, and cover with the linen lid. This first feed wakes up the natural yeasts.
Feed & Grow
Each day, discard half and feed with equal parts flour and water. Your starter will begin rising higher and becoming more active.
Bake & Enjoy
When your starter doubles in size within 4–6 hours of feeding, it’s ready to bake your first loaf with a crisp crust and soft crumb.
Common Questions
What if I forget to feed it?
Don’t worry — it happens to everyone. Your starter is more resilient than you think. If you miss a feed by a day or two, just discard half and feed it as normal with equal parts flour and water. It may take an extra day of regular feeding to bounce back, but it will recover.

How long will my starter last?
Forever — seriously. As long as you keep feeding it, a sourdough starter can last a lifetime. Some families pass them down for generations. You can even pop it in the fridge to put it on pause, only then requiring a weekly feeding.
