Sourdough starters are living things due to the yeast. So, you have to feed it to keep it alive. Once it’s thriving, you can put it in the refrigerator and feed it every week or so. If you change the water to flour proportions it can throw off the recipes you use it in. The yeast feeds off the new flour that you add and you need the water to keep the ratio in balance. Does that help?

I love your website and am enthusiastic about getting started! But….
I have what must seems like a really silly question about your starter — I have no idea what you mean by “feeding” it :( I’m in Europe and maybe the terminology is different. Do you mean I should add 110 gr of flour and 110ml of water to the original mixture every day? That seems like and awful lot….. Or I mix the ingredients and then just add some water a little every day? I’m sorry butI’m a little confused.

Many thanks and greeting from Switzerland,
Cecilia

Some people think sourdough is ok to eat, gluten-free or not, but it’s not true.
