How do I store the starter?

Store your starter in a mason jar with a loose-fitting lid. You can store at room temperature on your counter (starters perform best at 70–85ºF), but we do recommend storing your starter in the fridge to reduce feeding time and waste.

How do I feed my sourdough starter?

If storing on your countertop, you should feed your sourdough culture once every 24 hours using 1 part starter, 1 part water, and 2 parts flour. If you store it in the fridge, you only have to feed it once every 5–7 days.

Can I freeze sourdough?

After 3–4 days at room temperature you are able to freeze sourdough bread. Once you are ready to freeze your sourdough bread, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. To defrost, microwave for 10–15 seconds.

What do I do with my sourdough starter discard?

You could throw it out, or put it in your compost. You can also keep it in a separate jar for up to a week at room temperature or a month in the fridge, and use it for all sorts of recipes, such as waffles, crackers, desserts, and more.

How can I tell whether or not my starter is healthy?

The main thing to keep your eye on is making sure your starter is bubbling; if not, it's likely dead, due to using the wrong flour or water, an unsanitized jar, or screwing the lid on too lightly.
