Ingredients

8 servings
  1. 100 ml Rye flour
  2. 100 ml Wheat flour
  3. 200 ml Water

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix the flour mix (rye/wheat) and water in a bowl and leave the bowl uncovered on your kitchen table

  2. 2

    For the next couple of days, every morning add another 100ml of flour mix and water and stir.

  3. 3

    After a few days you should see bubbles starting to form, this can take up to a week. Check the smell, if it smells of yeast/vinegar/beer it's good to go! If it smells spoiled, it may have gone bad and you should start a new one.

  4. 4

    Once your sourdough is done you can keep it in the fridge, remembering to "feed it" with equal parts flour mix and water every 2 weeks or so!
