The best way to make a homemade sourdough starter is to mix equal parts of unbleached all-purpose flour and water, stir it until combined, and then let it sit for at least 24 hours. After that time, you can add additional flour and water and continue to feed your starter every day or two. You can also use this technique to create a wild yeast starter by mixing equal parts of whole wheat flour and water and letting it ferment for several days. Once your starter has been established, you can use it as a base for baking breads with sourdough flavor.
