food with the words how often should you feed a sourdough stater?

24K views · 1.3K reactions | You DON’T have to constantly feed your sourdough starter to keep it alive. I’ve gone as long as six months (I know people who have gone longer) with my starter in the fridge without feeding her when I went through three back-to-back second trimester miscarriages. I honestly just felt so crappy I couldn’t find the energy to bake. So if you’re currently in a similar season and can’t feed your starter, its okay! Life happens. Just know your starter is resilient!! 

If you do leave her in the fridge in the locking lid sealed jar for weeks/months, she will start to collect a liquid on top called hooch, but it’s completely normal! You just drain it off and feed normally. 

If your starter doesn’t come back to life after the first feed…DO NOT FRET! I usually like to d Home Made Puff Pastry, Family Meal Prep, Sourdough Bread Starter, Sourdough Starter Discard Recipe, Gluten Free Sourdough, Sourdough Starter Recipe, Clean Diet, Bread Basket, Starters Recipes
