A short course

Real sourdough on a working week

One feed a day for your starter and a dough that does its work while you sleep. Built for people who leave the house at eight.

Two loaves of sourdough cooling on a rack

Feed at 8, mix at 7

Sound familiar?

  1. The starter died again

    The recipe said feed it twice a day. You were at work for one of them.

  2. The dough wants you at 2pm

    Every schedule assumes you're home for the bulk ferment.

  3. The float test lied

    It sank, you binned it, and it was probably fine.

  • One feed a day
  • A 1:5:5 ratio
  • No float test
“

Skip the float test. It fails on whole-grain starters that are perfectly ready.
