Description
Once you've successfully created your own sourdough starter, you'll want to keep it healthy with regular feedings. While there are many ways to successfully maintain a starter, there are two basic options to choose from: keeping your starter at room temperature and feeding it daily or storing it in the refrigerator and feeding it weekly. If you plan to bake with your starter often (multiple times a week), keep your starter on your counter and feed it daily: The organisms in starter thrive at room temperature. If you plan to bake less frequently, store your starter in the refrigerator, knowing it will need a few feedings at room temperature before it's ready for showtime.
