Mine is Tabetha (daughter of Bessie). I'm so impressed that you guys put so much thought into your pet names. One night while refreshing I just knew that I was feeding Tabetha. Think of sourdough starter as yeast.
Sourdough starter pet 🐾 instructions
- Day 1: warm up your milk and pour it into a clean jar..
- Add yogurt in and mix well..
- Cover with damp cloth and tie it loosely.
- Leave it over night..
- Day 2: add 120 g strong bread flour. Stir the strong white flour into the yoghurt, incorporating evenly. Cover and leave at room temperature (about 20C) for two days. The mixture should be bubbly and smell pleasantly sour. Note*I have transferred to a bigger jar at this point..
- Day 4 : On day four, add the 180g of breadflour to the starter with the water and the milk. Cover and leave at warm room temperature for 24 hours..
- Day 5 : On day five the starter should be quite active now and should be full of little bubbles. Remove half of the starter (normally you can discard it but I have many recipes using this sourdough discard so please don’t throw it away! You can make American style pancake, chinese pancake and many more)..
- Add the flour and the water to the remaining starter and mix thoroughly. At this point I need to transfer to a bigger jar because they become evolved in sizes!!! Cover and leave at warm room temperature for 24 hours. Ps. Don’t cover it to tight as when you open it it may explode or make a bang sound when you open it..
- Day 6: On day six the starter should be ready to use. You can keep the starter at room temperature, but you will need to feed it daily. Combine equal parts of the starter, water and flour and mix thoroughly. You may have to discard some of the starter so that you do not end up with too much. Keep covered and use as needed. (I didn’t discard some of the starter so they are enormous now as you can see 😂🙈!!!).
- If baking less often, keep the starter covered in the fridge, feeding it once every five days or so by mixing equal parts of starter, flour and water..
- Hi, my name is Jasmine and I am Yui’s sourdough pet. I am friendly and cute when you feed me I get fuzzy and bubbly, I don’t like to have a shower so I can get a little bit smelly. Yui likes to feed me with flour and milk they make me grow stronger and building my good bacteria to make some delicious bread 🍞😍…. Be like me Be like Jasmine!!.
Only in this case, instead of buying a packet of yeast from the store, you are making your own living "wild yeast" by Once it's alive, it is like a very low-maintenance pet. You must feed it once a week to keep it healthy and happy. You know it's happy when it bubbles. The remaining sourdough starter in the mixing bowl is now the base sponge for your loaf. Ultimately this should be an enjoyable thing you can do on your own schedule, it's not a commitment or a responsibility—sourdough is not your pet.
