Step 1

Let’s start building your sourdough culture. Begin by preparing a flour blend: mix 150 grams of unbleached all-purpose or bread flour with 150 grams of whole rye or wheat flour. Store this blend in a container—it will be your feeding mix for the days ahead.

Step 2

On Day 1, combine 30 grams of your flour blend with 30 grams of water in a clean jar. Stir thoroughly to make sure all the flour is hydrated. Cover the jar loosely (a lid set on top or a piece of cloth secured with a rubber band works well) and place it somewhere warm—around 72°F to 75°F is ideal. A warm kitchen counter away from direct sunlight is usually perfect.

Step 3

Now, let it sit undisturbed. This waiting period is crucial. Over the next 24 to 72 hours, you should begin to see some activity: small bubbles, a slight rise, and possibly a mild sour smell. This is the beginning of wild fermentation.
