This worked. I did buy a starter though, and then used this method. I held off writing a review until I was 100% sure. I just made my first loaf and it was amazing.

I tried another sourdough recipe and it was all bubbly and then just didn't work at all. So this time I got your starter that you recommended. I thought it was a little expensive but it ended up actually working, so I guess that's worth it.

In reply to Sarah. You should really wait until day 6 to start dividing your starter, just so you have a good batch well-established. But yes, you can take your discard and feed it according to the schedule and make multiple starters.

So, Question...

If you take the 100g from the starter and make a new starter in a 2nd container by adding 50g water and 50g flour to that one as well... would that be a way of multiplying your starters? Like if you want to either bake more or if you want to give some away?

Also, do you have to wait until day 6? Can the discarded portion of the starter be used for anything?

In reply to Nick. So, if you pull out 150 gr, I'd recommend feeding 75/75. But, depending how much original starter you have, you may need to build it up a bit first - by increasing the amount of flour and water you feed a few days prior to when you make your recipe. You should always have about 50 g starter in your jar.

Greetings from Greece! Congratulations for your recipe! I'd like to ask you, if my bread recipe calls for more than 100 gr sourdough starter (e.g. 150gr), so the remaining in the jar will be 50 gr Am i gonna "feed" it with 50 gr of water and 50 gr of flour?

In reply to Darian Mitchell. No, it doesn't.

I thought sealing a starter causes it to explode from the pressure?

Super easy to follow. I was so afraid to make a starter (a whole year of stalling) and now I’m relieved that I’ll be baking bread in no time

Worked exactly as shown. Successful starter from scratch.
