How can I make a sourdough bread starter?
assistant
To make a sourdough bread starter, you will need to mix equal parts flour and water. Stir the mixture together until it forms a thick paste, then let it sit for 12-24 hours at room temperature. After that time, stir in 1/2 cup of lukewarm water, and let it sit for another 12-24 hours. Repeat this process every day or two, stirring in more lukewarm water each time. The starter should be bubbly and have a pleasant sour smell after a few days. Once your starter is active, you can use it to make your sourdough breads.
