1. Measure out the whole wheat flour into a large bowl or a crock (if you live in India, you can use whole wheat atta flour). The container you use should be large enough to hold the sourdough starter as it rises and bubbles. Also make sure you use a glass or ceramic or sturdy, food-safe plastic container.
2. Measure out the bottled or non-chlorinated, room-temperature water. Chlorine can inhibit the formation and growth of yeast, so it’s rather important that your water be as non-chlorinated as you can get it.
3. Now add the water to the flour and whisk together to mix well. You should not have any traces of flour.
4. Cover the sourdough starter loosely with a kitchen towel.

1. Mix ½ cup whole wheat flour with ½ cup water. Stir vigorously, loosely cover, then let sit for 24 hours
2. Add ½ cup all-purpose flour and ¼ cup water to a jar, and stir vigorously (you want the starter to have the consistency of thick pancake batter. If it is too thick, add more water.). Loosely cover, and let sit for another 24 hours. You should hopefully begin to see bubbles in your starter at this point, but if not, don’t give up yet.
3. Discard half of the starter, then feed again with ½ cup all-purpose flour and ¼ cup water. Stir, loosely cover, and let sit 24 hours.
4. Keep repeating Step 3 until the starter doubles within 4-6 hours of you feeding it. If you still aren’t seeing any bubbles after several days of this process, it’s probably best to dump out and start over.
