Tonight we will feed our starters to prepare it to make a leaven on Day 14! I call this REACTIVATING OUR STARTERS! If you don’t quite want to bake yet with your starter…no problem. Just feed as we do, and tomorrow I’ll show you exactly what to do to maintain your starter in the refrigerator.
HOW MUCH SHOULD I FEED MY SOURDOUGH STARTER?
- What is the temperature of your starters environment?
- How has your starter been responding to the previous feeds & ratios?
- What is your starters appearance? Hooch present? Rise? Surface appearance? Bubbles?

SOURDOUGH DISCARD IDEAS
BROWN RICE SOURDOUGH STARTER
You can find TONS of ideas online for what to do with your sourdough discard! I believe in having as little waste as possible, so once we are done creating our starters I’ll show you my zero waste method that will allow you to have NO waste at all! Below are some of my favs as well as links to recipes I’ve created (more coming soon).
I am working hard to bring you my recipes as they are all gluten, egg, corn free with dairy & nut free options, with many being vegan as well! I have found this combination of dietary needs particularly difficult to find recipes to make! So I promise to post mine as soon as I can!
