Increasing Your Sourdough Starter

Let’s say you wanted to make THREE cups of starter to make several batches of bread. By combining 1 cup of starter, 1 cup of flour, and 1 cup of water you will make 3 cups of starter. It’s very important to NOT use more starter than flour and water. Use a ratio of 1-1-1.

If you use more starter, it will be extra active because there is more starter than flour. It will eat all of the flour and not be as vigorous as it could be.
