Easy Sourdough Starter Recipe | Make a Wild Yeast Starter at Home
Looking for an easy sourdough starter recipe? I'm showing you how to make a wile yeast starter at home that you can use in bread, pastries, buns, focaccia, donuts and more. If you can't find yeast or are looking for a more natural, easy to digest alternative the natural yeast in sourdough starter can be used in place of instant yeast in most yeast leavened baked goods. The best part is, it's easy to make at home. It only takes 5 days and about 2 minutes a day of work plus, all you need is regular all purpose flour and water.

Sourdough Starter Recipe/ Guide/ Schedule
Day 1
In a glass jar with loose fitting lid stir together 50 g water and 50 g flour until smooth. Cover loosely and set aside at room temperature for 24 hours.
Day 2
Stir in an additional 50 g water and 50 g flour to the starter. Cover loosely and set aside again for another 24 hours.
Day 3
Stir in an additional 50 g water and 50 g flour to the starter. Cover loosely and set aside again for another 24 hours.
Day 4
Stir in an additional 50 g water and 50 g flour to the starter. Cover loosely and set aside for 24 hours.
Day 5
Your starter should be ready to bake with. It should have doubled in size, smell sour and be filled with lots of bubbles. If it hasn’t, continue with the feedings for another day or two.
Maintain
To keep and maintain your starter all you have to do to maintain it is to mix the same amount in weight of starter, water and flour. So, for example I used 50 grams of starter (you can use or discard the remaining starter), 50 water and 50 flour but you can do 100 g of each or 75 grams or 382 grams of each, you get the point. Feed it every 24 hours if you’re keeping it at room temperature and every 4/5 days if you keep it in the fridge.

RECIPE
BIGA
•175g or 3/4c warm water (86F/30C)
•1/4tsp instant yeast
•225g or 1 1/2c AP flour (11.7% protein)
Add water, yeast, and flour into a high sided container and mix until no dry clumps of flour remains. Let ferment at room temp for 6-24 hours.
AUTOLYSE
•180g or 3/4c warm water (86F/30C)
•250g or 2c AP flour (11.7% protein)
Into bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, mix your Autolyse (water and flour) on low until combined. Cover with town and let sit for 30 minutes.
FINAL MIX
•40g or 2 3/4Tbsp warm water (86F/30C)
•5g or 2tsp instant yeast
•10g 1 3/4tsp salt
•All of the biga you mixed earlier
For your final mix, add warm water, yeast, salt, and biga to your autolyse and mix on low for 3 minutes. Increase speed to high and mix for 5 more minutes. When dough is mixed enough it should clear the bowl and begin to get shiny.
FERMENTING AND SHAPING
Transfer dough to an oiled bowl. Cover and ferment at room temperature for 30 min. Do strength building fold as shown @3:33. Cover again and let sit at room temp for another 30 minutes. Laminate dough as shown @4:27 (this takes the place of a 2nd stretch and fold). After laminating, transfer back to bowl seam side down, cover and allow to ferment at room temp for 1 hour. Dough should be gassy and alive at this point.
Liberally flour work surface and dough well. Use dough card to release dough from bowl as completely as possible before transferring dough to work surface. Gently pat into a square slab.
Prepare a piece of parchment that's larger than your slab of ciabatta dough by liberally flouring it. Cut dough into two equal rectangles and gently transfer to floured parchment. Cover and proof at room temp for 30 min.
BAKING
Preheat oven to 500F/260c - I also preheat my baking steel/stone on the middle rack and a cast iron pan in the bottom of my oven.
Boil water.
Slide ciabatta onto baking steel and pour boiling water into cast iron pan in the oven. Cover loaves with turkey pan, decrease heat to 480F/248C and bake for 12 min. Remove foil pan and continue to bake for 13-15 minutes until crust is a deep golden brown.
Cool on wire rack.

Does Bread Dough / Yeast Need Sugar To Rise?
Today isn't so much a recipe as it is an experiment! I always thought you needed to have sugar to go along with yeast to act as the food for the yeast to eat, but is that actually true or is it just sweet sweet lies?!

YOUR FIRST SOURDOUGH (Sourdough Bread For Complete Beginners)
Welcome to Your First Sourdough! When I started making sourdough bread a decade ago, I had a lot of questions and a LOT of failures and could have really used a step by step video to walk me through an entry level loaf. This video is just what young-Brian would have wanted. The lower hydration makes it easier to handle and more sourdough starter ferments the loaf faster so it takes less time to make start-to-finish. This is a perfect place to begin your sourdough journey. We can get into higher hydration and silky open crumb in the future. For now, we're talking about an awesome, tasty, rustic sourdough loaf that anyone can make, even if you're an absolute beginner.

RECIPE:
*i've listed measurements in grams and volumetric, but i HIGHLY recommend using gram measurements as listed for the best results*
1. Build the Leaven
•100g room temp water (78 F/25 C) or 1/2 cup
•25g or 1 TBSP ripe sourdough starter
•100g or 1 cup all purpose flour (11.7% protein)
Measure water, sourdough starter, and flour into a high sided container and stir to combine. Ferment, covered, at room temperature for 12 hours.
2. Mix the Dough
•310g water (92 f / 33 C) or 1 1/4 cup
•200g or about 1 cup leaven or (from build stage above. 25g will be left over to propagate your future sourdough starter)
•400g or 3 1/4 cup purpose flour (11.7% protein)
•50g 1/3 cup whole wheat flour (14% protein)
•12g or 2 tsp salt
Add water, leaven, flours, and salt to a bowl and stir to combine with a sturdy spoon. Once combined into a shaggy mess of dough, begin to pinch and squeeze with a wet hand until well mixed (about 2-3 minutes depending on how fast you mix). Cover and begin the bulk fermentation
3. Bulk Fermentation
Place the dough you just mixed from step 2 above in a warm place to ferment for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, give you dough a set of strength building folds. See 6:30 for process.
Cover dough and place in a warm place for another 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes (or 60 minutes total of bulk fermentation, repeat the strength building folds. Cover and place in a warm place and continue to ferment for 2 more hours.
4. Shaping
Flour the dough and work surface and flip the dough out onto the work surface. Shape as shown at 8:19. Scoop dough ball into a well floured proofing basket, seam side up.
5. Proofing
Cover with a towel and allow to rise at room temperature for 90 minutes.
After 90 minutes, when poked your dough ball should hold an indent briefly before bouncing back.
6. Baking
Preheat dutch oven in a 500 F / 260 C oven for 30-45min.
Sprinkle Semolina or cornmeal onto a piece of parchment and flip your proofed dough ball onto the parchment seam side down. Score with lame, razor blade, or scissors.
Load parchment and dough into preheated dutch oven, reduce oven temperature to 485 F / 250C and bake for 18 minutes.
See video for alternative baking method.
After 18 minutes, remove lid from dutch oven. Reduce oven temperature to 465 F / 240 C and bake for 25 more minutes.
