Total Time 7 days

Equipment

  • Glass jar
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Plastic or silicone spoon
  • Cotton cloth
  • Rubber band

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup brown rice flour
  • ¼ cup potato starch
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • ½ cup and 2 tablespoons room temperature filtered water

Instructions
 

  • You will need to feed the sourdough starter for 7 days while it’s at room temperature.
  • On the first day, into a glass jar, add ½ cup of brown rice flour, ¼ cup of potato starch, 2 teaspoons of honey, and ½ cup and 2 tablespoons room temperature filtered water.
  • Using a plastic or a silicone spoon, mix everything well until you see no more clumps.
  • Cover with a cotton cloth and secure it with a rubber band.
  • On the second day, discard half of the sourdough starter, and add ½ cup brown rice flour, ¼ cup potato starch, 2 teaspoons honey, and ½ cup and 2 tablespoons water. Mix until everything is well combined. Repeat this process for the third, fourth, and fifth day making sure to feed the sourdough starter at the same time every day.
  • On the sixth and seventh day, you will have to feed the starter every 12 hours making sure to discard half of it prior to feeding it.
  • On the seventh day, you should begin to notice large and multiple bubbles in the starter, and it should begin to smell slightly sour. If you do not notice any of these signs, then continue to feed it in a similar manner as you did on the sixth and seventh day for a few more days until you begin to notice these signs.
  • Once the sourdough starter is ready, you can now close the jar with a lid, and store it in the fridge.
  • You will need to feed the starter once every week or every two weeks.

Notes

The starter might not be ready to be used for bread on the first two weeks as it may need more time for the yeast to mature in the starter for it to create good sourdough bread.
