Ingredients
FIRSTLY, WE PREPARE SOURDOUGH STARTER FOR THE RECIPE
- 50 g of all-purpose flour
- 50 g of water
This process of sourdough starter takes 7 to 10 days
All you need is to mix equal parts of water and dough in a clean bowl and let it sit at room temperature. Now, every day, we will feed the dough mixture by discarding half of the dough and adding fresh flour and water in equal parts to it. If you have 100 g of dough, you will need to discard half of it, which is 50 g of dough, and add 50 g of new flour with 50 g of water. This process is done to allow fresh microorganisms to stay alive that help the sourdough formation by keeping the dough active and bubbly. Repeat this process from 7 to 10 days until you see the dough has become extremely bubbly and active.
