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.

Sourdough Starter Super easy with no discard! A …

WebApr 12, 2020 · If it says you need 100 g of starter, put 50g of flour and 50g of water into your starter jar and stir it up really well. 50 g + 50 g = 100 g …

1. Please start by reading my post above. It's long but it includes lots of important and useful information that will help you success.
2. IMPORTANT - I do not recommend using cups/tablespoons to make this starter because they are not accurate enough and it has to be absolutely exact. But if you are going to use them, the cup/tablespoons/teaspoon conversions are based on you using rye flour which is what I recommend using if at all possible for best results. If you use any other kind of flour the cups/tablespoons and teaspoon measures will not be accurate so you will need to recalculate them. For reference 1 cup of rye flour weighs 102 grams. 1 cup of wholewheat flour weighs 128 grams and 1 cup of all purpose flour weighs 125 grams.
3. ALSO IMPORTANT - At no point in this process should you discard any of the starter.
4. Day 1 - To a clean jar/container that's between 750 ml (25 oz) and 1 litre (34 oz) in size, add 25 grams (3 tablespoons + 2¾ teaspoons) of rye flour and 25 grams (1 tablespoon + 2 teaspoons) of room temperature water. Mix well so you can't see any dry flour, level it as best you can and cover with the jar lid. Screw it on loosely but don't fully tighten it up. Don't screw the lid on tightly. If you have an elastic band, put it over the jar so it is level with the top of the flour/water mixture. That way you can see easily if there is any increase in volume. Leave the jar in a sheltered spot for about 24 hours, ideally at a temperature of between 20°C (72°F) to 26 °C (80°F) If your kitchen is very cool see my tips in the post above for how to keep your starter warm.
