Bread (Sourdough) Starter
The method for making a sourdough starter sponge is the same, regardless of which starter you use! The sponge puffs up and becomes filled with air bubbles, and it's just fun to watch it grow.
The method is the same whichever starter liquid you use! I used raisin starter this time.
Add the same amount of starter liquid and flour.
You can use water instead of starter liquid from the 2nd day onwards, but if you use starter liquid you'll have a more fragrant, robust starter sponge. Recipe by Hirochan

Sourdough Bread Sourdough Bread
This is a recipe from King Arthur Flour. It comes with the sourdough starter that can be ordered from them as well as finding it online in their website. It is a very good base recipe for making sourdough breads.Maintaining a proper sourdough starter is definitely a commitment. If you keep starter out at room temperature you will have to feed it every day. If you keep it refrigerated like I do, you will only have to feed it once a week to maintain it however you have to remove from fridge and feed it at least 8 to 12 hours before you want to make bread with it. And with both ways; always feed after use.Making a starter from scratch takes a lot of time before you can use for first time. I suggest getting a few ounces of a established starter from someone who has one already or order it from King Arthur Flour.Sourdoughs have different flavors depending on where you live. The sourdough bread I make in New York will taste different than a sourdough made in San Francisco.

Crispy and perfectly oily 😅These mini focaccias remind me of the snacks from elementary school, which I used to buy at the bakery near my house...a trip down memory lane, a real emotion with every bite!The sourdough starter can be replaced with 1 teaspoon of fresh yeast.Mini focaccias, olives, and a nice glass of ice-cold beer make for a great appetizer 😉
