Print: Sourdough Starter

This recipe makes a sourdough starter using flour, clean water, and yeast. After fermentation has occurred, keep the starter in a covered glass container in the refrigerator until ready to use for making bread. Sourdough starters improve with age as you feed them — pass on any sourdough discards to friends and family!
