Starter Feeding

Managing your sourdough starter’s feeding amounts is essential for maintaining its health and activity. Many recipes call for specific amounts of starter amounts, which can be challenging to calculate. This tool helps you determine the precise amounts of starter, water, and flour needed to achieve your desired starter weight. Make sure to adjust the ratios based on your specific feeding preferences and the type of flour you use.

Higher hydration levels in your starter can lead to a more active fermentation, but they also require careful handling. Lower hydration starters are easier to manage (and store better), but may not rise as much.
