Is Your Starter Ready? Top 3 Signs!

Is Your Starter Ready? Top 3 Signs!

1)The Double Up: After feeding, your starter should (at least!) double in size within a fews hours (also can vary depending what ratio you feed it)This shows your wild yeasts are happy and active.

2)Take a peek at your starter! A healthy one will be bubbly and light on top, with a slightly stretchy texture. Helpful tip-this is when a clear jar can be helpful to see the bubbles from the sides.

3) Smell Test: Your starter should have a pleasant, slightly tangy aroma. It might have hints of acidity and fermentation, but there shouldn’t be any unpleasant odors like strong vinegar or something foul. #sourdough #SourdoughLove #SourdoughBaking #SourdoughCommunity #breadlovers #homemade #breadart #RealBread #ArtisanBread #HomemadeSourdough #SourdoughLife #sourdoughstarter
