Mix the starter
Combine equal weights flour and water in a clean jar; stir until no dry spots remain.
Feed on a schedule
Discard half daily, then feed at 1:1:1 or 1:2:2 (starter:water:flour) at room temp.
Check readiness
Look for doubling in 4-6 hours, a domed top, bubbles, and a mildly tangy aroma.
Store and revive
Refrigerate between bakes; feed weekly in the fridge and twice before baking to reactivate.
