Welcome to Day 2 of the Starter Marathon! 🎉 Your jar has been resting for some time now … and now it’s time for its first meal! 🥄
What we’ll learn today:
âś” How to discard and feed your starter
âś” How to keep it happy for the next few days
âś” What changes to expect as it grows stronger
When your starter peaks and starts to fall (look for marks on the jar), it’s feeding time:
- 75 g starter
- 50 g whole rye flour
- 50 g bread or all-purpose flour
- 100 g warm water (30–35°C / 86–95°F). Take less water than before – by 25 grams. If before you took 150, now you need 25 grams less – 125. If before you took 125, now you need 100.
Mix well, put in a clean jar, leave lid slightly open, and mark the level. From now on, we will go trough couple of more feeding cycles before our starter is ready to be used!
This cycle will now take about 24 hours, and it’ll get faster with each feed. Keep it warm and check tomorrow!
