Any way you can post your recipe & instructions?
This is something Iā€™ve been wanting to do-- but there are so many different versionsā€“would rather go with one that I know someone is actually successful with!

So what we do is equal amounts of the flour water 1 to 1 mix. Wait 2 days then observe bubbles. Scoop out half. Mix in new or cleaned jar 1 to 1 to 1 water/flower/start. Should work for you :smiley:
Discard other half and any hooch that is made. Also make sure to have air exchange, like a paper towel on a jar with a ring lid.

Thanks!!! The only kind Iā€™ve ever done is the Amish sweet bread starter- sugar, water, yeast and flourā€¦then you use some every week and keep ā€˜feedingā€™ the baseā€¦ not the same as actual sourdoughā€¦

Also you feed it every 24 hours then faster as it gets older. Once it had started

If you use a portion white flour and a portion rye flour, youā€™ll get a wider variety of wild yeast I believe.
Also, check out The Perfect Loaf , his blog is immaculate, and this link will take you to his starter recipe. All his tutorials and recipes are cleeeeaaan. @Lady.Zandra63

There are lots of wild plants that can be used to make ā€œflourā€ā€¦and then flatbread or possibly soyrdoughā€¦any starchy tuber, acorns, chestnuts, lambsquarter, and wild potato!

Hmm, I myself have been interested in doing this. My wife is crazy about sourdough bread. Me, not so much, lol. Does it have to be a special kind of flour?

So at first do half and half water and flower, let sit for 2 days in a warm place. Once you see active bubbles and it may rise a bit. Your ready to start feeding it. Every 24 hours split the start in half. Then mix equal parts water/flour/starter. We did this today.
For example. Measure equal parts 30g 30g 30g. And mix. Let rise repeat. Also good to poor the hooch off the top if thick enough. If runny then just stir with a clean spoon before mixing.
