Today, as thousands of years ago, nothing loosens up heavy bread dough as healthily and effectively as the addition of sourdough. Here, pure nature is at work: Lactic acid bacteria ensure fermentation, which produces lactic and acetic acid, which then serve as a raising agent.

Sourdough works best next to the heater (at 20-25 °C); on the windowsill above the heater it quickly gets too warm. To bake, always take off only the amount needed, put the rest in a closed plastic bowl in the refrigerator (if you want to bake again in a few days) or freeze it.

honey
Preparation

Kitchen utensils

1 large Bowl (with matching lid), 1 Teaspoon, 1 Wooden spoon, 1 Measuring cups

Preparation steps

1.
Sourdough Starter preparation step 1

In a large bowl, mix 250 ml (approximately 1 cup) of warm water with the honey until the honey has dissolved.

2.
Sourdough Starter preparation step 2

Stir in the rye flour with a wooden spoon until smooth. Cover the bowl and let stand in a warm place (at least 20°C) (at least approximately 68°F) for 3 days, stirring vigorously each morning and evening. 

3.
Sourdough Starter preparation step 3

Let stand until the starter doubles in volume and fermentation bubbles are visible on the surface. Stirring vigorously allows the dough to collapse repeatedly to produce a dense dough. The starter will keep in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 1 week.
