🥘 Ingredients

1

Mix unbleached all purpose flour , rye flour and water into a glass mason jar or glass pyrex. I prefer a vessel with lower walls than a mason jar. Weigh these using a digital scale . Cover with a loose fitting lid
2

Every 24 hours remove half of the starter and add unbleached all purpose flour , rye flour and water
3

Repeat this process for up to 2 weeks until starter becomes bubbly, active, and doubles in size about 5 hours after feeding.

If baking every day, continue to feed starter every day. Otherwise, if cooking weekly, keep in fridge and feed weekly. Make levain for loaves using discarded starter when feeding.
