I need a good recipe for a sourdough starter.

To make a sourdough starter, you will need flour and water. Begin by mixing equal parts of whole wheat or white flour with lukewarm water in a bowl. Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 12 to 24 hours, stirring occasionally. The next day, add more flour and water to the mixture until it is thick and sticky. Stir the mixture well and let it sit for another 12 to 24 hours. Continue adding flour and water every 12 to 24 hours and stir the mixture each time. After 5 days, your sourdough starter should be ready to use.
