Easily create your yeast water and make a sourdough starter with it!
Equipment
- Large glass jar with a lid
- Digital Scale
- Spoon
- Cup measures
- Ph strips
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Fruit I used blueberries & oranges, but you can use any fruit high in sugars like: grapes, dates, apples.
- 2 Lbs Water Tap water is fine
- 1 Lb Whole wheat/all purpose/bread flour from Any brand that is not bleached or bromate like King Arthur Flour.
Instructions
Creating Yeast Water
- In your jar mix the fruit with the water, cover and let sit for 24 hours
- On day 2, stir thoroughly twice a day
- On days 3, 4, 5 repeat the same procedure. You should see bubbles and the fruit should float.
- On day 6 using your ph strips measure the ph. You should have an acidic ph to make sure the water is safe to use.
Creating a Sourdough Starter with your Yeast Water
- On day 6 after your water has tested an acidic ph - mix 200 grams of yeast water with 200 grams of flour
- On day 7, if its doubled you can use it to mix your first sourdough bread! Follow the instructions of my no knead sourdough bread recipe. Link Below!
- After you mix your first dough, make sure to save 100 grams from Day 7 and feed it according to the maintenance feedings shown on my no knead sourdough bread recipe. Link Below!
