Tennessee SourDough Starter - Fresh Bread in 24 hours!!
Yeah, its that good!!
All you need to do with my dehydrated starter is this - super easy -
Take the dehydrated starter and pour it into a medium size tupperware container. Add a tablespoon of warm water (equal to the amount of starter), 1/4 cup flour, 1/4 cup warm water (equal to the amount of flour) - and stir very well with a fork or whisk. Cover. I just place the lid on, not sealing it tight.
*I suggest you use a fork or whisk not for you to see false bubbles due to incorporating air into your starter, but to be sure you break up all the flour - not leaving any clumps of any size.*
Leave it alone for the most part, only disturbing it to stir it every now and again. I leave mine on the counter. Its been there since day one and I've never once had a problem. Just keep the container clean. Stirring can get a bit sloppy messy. I use a paper towel to clean up the upper part of the inside. Easy.
After several hours, about 6 - 8, feed it again. This time it is fed more than before (longer rest time) using 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 cup warm water. Again, stir very well with a fork or a whisk. NO discard.
I bet you see bubbles. Lots of lovely little bubbles!!!
Now, leave it alone - aside from occasional stirring - for 12 hours.
Feed it again - 1/4 cup flour, 1/4 cup warm water. Again, stir very well with a fork or a whisk. Check it in 4 - 6 hours. NO discard.
It should have lots of beautiful bubbles!
You should now have a very happy sourdough starter!!
Your starter is now active and ready to use. Period!
All that you need to do now is grab a recipe you've wanted to try....
and give your new baby a name!!!
Feed your starter!! I've heard the 1:1:1 stuff, and I do not follow it. I do not use grams or ounces or such. I just keep a heavy fork, a 1/4 cup and a 1/2 cup measure cup, and a separate roll of paper towels next to my starters. Always the same. Always clean. My flour containers each have their own 1/2 cup measure. I never use them for anything else.
May I suggest you read this article. It is full of great information.

Your flour (due to your home temp and humidity) is not going to be like mine.
It may take more or less time to get your starter happy and bubbling...
But, it should not be significant. My times are all approximate. My measurements are all approximate.
Please do not neglect your starter. Please only use clean containers and utensils. Contamination is just as bad as neglect. Both can kill your starter.
- bad starter can make you very sick - or worse.
I cannot be responsible for the care you give once it is in your hands.
