Simple Sourdough Starter Culture Recipe

Ingredients

Directions

This is the first step to make a sourdough bread. This ‘culture’ or ‘starter’ is a pre-fermented mixture of flour and water which contains a yeast and lactobacilli microorganism colony. There are many different ways of creating this starter depending on what type of dough you want to create. This recipe is our tried and tested version.
