My best friends 14 yo daughter has become enamored with making bread. Pretty basic white bread so far. Do any of you have a good starter sourdough recipe to share? Also I wondered if anyone had starter I could buy? Happy to pay for it and postage. Always love it when the young ones get interested in cooking / baking. Like to encourage it.
 
I just saw a sourdough starter on an online auction earlier this week...never saw that before. But good to see young people getting interested!

  • Mix water, starter, and salt. Add flour.

  • Lift and fold 20-25 the first time
  • 3 more lift and fold sessions 30-60 minutes apart

Really appreciate it! She will get a kick out of it for sure. Can you send me instructions on how to activate and feed as well? I can Google that I suppose as well.

You can get starter from many sources. I have the Oregon trail starter.
But, the foreign starter will usually die out until your local yeast takes up the ferment.
That is my experience. I had better luck just starting from local wheat. Luckily, I can source local wheat flour.

I do discard and feed 2x daily. Guess i should dry some and send out.
