Feed Your Sourdough Starter, Then Watch, Not the Clock
By Bubba Goodcrumb · · 33 seconds
Your starter can't read the clock. Watch the rise instead. Try this simple sourdough starter feeding routine: 1. Keep 20 g starter. 2. Add 20 g water + 20 g flour. That's a 1:1:1 feeding by weight. 3. Stir until no dry flour remains, then scrape the sides. 4. Mark the level and cover loosely. A

HOOK: Here is the low-stress starter routine: discard, feed, mark, watch.
BEAT 1: Discard down to a small amount first. Keeping less starter means less flour used and less discard guilt. [on-screen: Step 1: Keep less starter] [b-roll: Removing excess starter from jar]
BEAT 2: Feed equal weights of starter, water, and flour. Stir until no dry flour remains, then scrape the sides clean. [on-screen: Step 2: Feed 1:1:1] [b-roll: Stirring starter and wiping jar sides]
BEAT 3: Mark the height and leave it loosely covered. When it rises and domes, it is fed. When it collapses, it is hungry again. [on-screen: Step 3: Mark and watch] [b-roll: Rubber band around jar, starter doming at top]
CTA: Repeat this routine, and your Bubba Goodcrumb starter becomes a kitchen habit, not a science project.
