How to Make Yukon Sourdough Starter

  1. In a large bowl, combine 50 grams of unbleached all-purpose flour and 50 grams of filtered water.
  2. Mix thoroughly until a smooth, thick paste forms.
  3. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature (ideally 70-75°F) for 24 hours.
  4. After 24 hours, discard half of the mixture.
  5. Add another 50 grams of unbleached all-purpose flour and 50 grams of filtered water to the remaining starter.
  6. Mix well and repeat steps 3-5 daily for 7-10 days, or until the starter becomes noticeably bubbly and active. This indicates that healthy wild yeasts are thriving!
  7. Once active, feed your starter every 12-24 hours (depending on its activity level), following steps 4-5. Store your starter in a cool, dark place when not actively feeding.
