Stop guessing your sourdough starter feed. Weigh it. Mix equal weights of starter, water, and flour: 25g starter + 25g water + 25g flour = a 1:1:1 feeding ratio. Scrape the sides, mark the starting level, and watch when it peaks. The rise and fall help you learn your starter’s feeding rhythm, not

HEADLINE: THE SIMPLE FEEDING ROUTINE FOR BETTER RISE AND BUBBLES
RUNTIME: ~39 s · 97 spoken words
HOOK: For stronger bubbles, feed by ratio, mark the jar, and track the peak.

BEAT 2: After mixing, scrape the sides and mark the level. That line shows whether your starter doubled, stalled, or already peaked and fell. [on-screen: Mark the starting line] [b-roll: Rubber band placed around starter jar]

CTA: Repeat this routine for a few days, then bake when your starter doubles reliably.
