Feeding schedule

Twice a day, like clockwork. Here's the routine.

Like clockwork

A sourdough starter is a pet that never sleeps. Feed it twice a day and it rewards you with lift, flavor, and a schedule you can set your watch to.

The routine

morning    discard down to 50g, feed 50g flour + 50g water
evening    same again, every day
water      25°C, filtered
flour      70% bread flour, 30% whole rye

Read the rise

A happy starter doubles in four hours. If it doesn't, the temperature's off or the flour's changed — the fixes are all in troubleshooting.
