DAY 1 

Step 1: Empty contents of Sourdough Starter packet into your jarand add 2 oz. of lukewarm filtered water to the jar. Stir until sourdough starter chips are completely covered with water. Place lid loosely on jar (or use a cloth cover) and let starter sit for approximately 3 hours, stirring 4 times during those 3 hours.For best results, surrounding temperature should be between 75f to 82f (see Q&A for details)

Step 2:1st Feed: Once mixture is smooth, add1oz of Unbleached All-Purpose Flour into your jar. Mix gently until all combined.Cover jar loosely and place somewhere warm if you can (approximately 75-85 degrees) or room temperature is fine too (it may just take your starter a little longer to "wake up" in cooler temperatures, and that's ok). There's no set time for this step, but at least 24 hours.
