Types of Flour to Feed Your Sourdough Starter

I feed my starter Prairie Gold Montana White Wheat Flour. Most whole wheat flours contains more minerals than white flours and this allows the bread to rise well. You can also use a good quality unbleached white flour or bread flour. You’ll need to use a flour that does not add chemicals or one that is bleached, otherwise your starter might not get bubbly. Bread flour is what is most commonly used by bread makers because of the high protein count in the flour. A high protein count makes the bread rise higher. I have always used white wheat flour since my sourdough starter would always be twice as bubbly then it would be otherwise with other flours. If you want to make Einkorn bread then you’ll need to convert you starter to and Einkorn flour starter and I have recipe to help you do this. Einkorn Sourdough Starter
