Sourdough – splitting a starter

Making A New Starter From An Existing One

You may want to do this either to revive a starter that is going sour, or to share your starter with a friend.

  • In a clean container, stir one cup of starter, one cup of flour and one cup of warm water, cover, and leave in a warm place.
  • After 4 hours, stir in another cup of flour and another cup of warm water.
  • After another 4 hours, stir in yet another cup of flour and another cup of warm water.
  • Leave overnight, and the next day, pour away one cup of starter, and replace with half a cup of flour and half a cup of warm water.
  • Repeat that last step for 7 days, after which you should have a new healthy starter.
