Tips for your sourdough starter

• Make sure that your sourdough starter matures at 24-27 degrees. If it is too cold, the lactic acid bacteria will not be activated. If it is too warm, the wrong bacteria will prevail in the Oleni Mason Jar | Wide | 750 ml and your sourdough starter will not work.
• You can use whole wheat or rye flour for the starter. Rye flour, which is rich in fiber, works particularly well for the starter.
• You can use the finished sourdough from the 5th day, as indicated in the recipe. Store the rest in the fridge , tightly sealed in the Oleni Mason Jar | Wide | 1000ml . From there you can take sourdough for your bread again and again and seal it tightly again. The sourdough will keep in the fridge for up to 4 weeks without any problems.
• Is there only a small amount of your sourdough starter left in your FAVORITE JAR ? You can easily feed it and multiply it again. To do this, first weigh it. For example, if you still have 50 g, mix it with 50 g water and 50 g wholemeal flour. Leave this mixture as usual for 24 hours at 24-27 degrees and your sourdough starter will multiply. If it is tightly sealed, it will keep in the fridge for another 4 weeks.
