How can I make a sourdough starter?
assistant
To make a sourdough starter, you will need to combine equal parts of warm water and active dry yeast. Mix the ingredients together until they are well combined and let it sit for 12-24 hours in a warm place. The mixture should begin to bubble and smell like bread dough. Once the bubbling subsides, add 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 2 tablespoons of honey or sugar to the mixture. Stir everything together until the starter is well combined and then cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap. Let it sit at room temperature for 24 hours before using it in your recipes.
