Sourdough 101 Workshop

Are you ready to make a sourdough starter? If so, there are a few things you want to keep in mind.

  1. Food safety is key! Make sure that you are handwashing and keeping your work space and tools clean.
  2. Use unchlorinated water. If your tap water is chlorinated, fill a glass with the amount you need and let it sit for at least 24 hours before using.
  3. Wash hands and utensils after handling raw flour. Raw (uncooked) flour could contain microorganisms such as E.Coli or Salmonella that could lead to food-borne illness.
  4. Your starter will need to be fed regularly. You need to properly care for a sourdough starter by discarding and feeding on a routine schedule in order for the microorganisms to grow and thrive.
