Since 2018
When I was a child my mother loved going to bakeries and getting fresh artisan bread. I have always loved sourdough but it’s impossible to find in my area. I couldn’t believe it was something that could be made at home. Finally I tried it myself as was ecstatic with the results. Real artisan bread, made by me, in my home!! I have never looked back.
Characteristics
My sourdough is very active after being feed and also gets quite sour the longer it is stored in the fridge. I get a nice rise in my bakes, a lovely flavor and a pretty golden brown/crunchy crust.

1
Once I take my sourdough out of the fridge, I feed it right away with equal parts flour and water. How much I feed it depends on how much of it I need for the recipe. Then I give the starter 3-4 hours to get active, make my recipe and put the rest of the starter back in the fridge.

After day 3 begin discarding all but 60 grams of starter. Then feed the 60 grams of starter with 60 grams of water and flour. After the first 4 or 5 days I switched to using unbleached all purpose flour, when Teresa L Greenway mentioned using it instead of bleached on her “Make You’re Own Sourdough Starter With Me” YouTube series. Continue this feeding schedule for about 21 days.
