Welcome fall! 🍂 A season that spices up my cre

Season of the grape harvest is at its peak! 💛

Keeping your starter alive and bubbly is easy! 💛

How much and how often should you feed it? 🤔

My dear SourdoughManiacs,
You are not the only one who feels hunger, your starter does too! So, how do you know when to feed it and how much it needs to keep it bubbly and active? 🤔

If your starter is anything like my Rudl, it could always go for a floury snack. This doesn’t really surprise me … as my Rudl takes after me - I also can’t say no to a floury sourdough snack. 🙃

Feeding and maintaining your starter between baking sessions is not that complicated once you make it a routine. Just follow my 3 easy steps, and your starter won’t go sour on you.

💛 STEP 1: If you are not baking, feeding it 2-3 times per week should make it feel satisfied.
I take my starter jar out of the fridge & remove the excess and only leave about a spoonful of starter in the jar. I use the rest in a discard recipe. It always feels such a shame to throw it away, right?

💛 STEP 2: I feed the spoonful of starter in the jar with 25g of white all-purpose or T500 flour and 20g water and mix it well to get a thick, even mass without clumps or dry parts.

💛 STEP 3: Put the lid back on and leave the jar at RT for 1 hour, then back to the fridge it goes.

That has been my routine for a long time and my Rudl is not complaining. 🙃

How do you take care of your starter? Do you have a similar routine or a different one? 🤔

I’d love to know, so don’t be shy. Do let me know in the comments below.

I hope you have a sourtastic day and feel inspired to bake something delicious today. 💛

Yours truly fermented,
Anita

p. s. If you are not a SD baker yet, don't hesitate to join my Sourdough Bread MASTERCLASS and get my dry starter Rudl. These are the perfect pair for a sourtastic start. Both linked in BIO. 💛
