Free food & cooking tip: A 7-day starter from nothing (step 1 of 8 from "Artisan Sourdough Bread").
Day 1: 50 g whole wheat flour + 50 g water in a jar, loose lid. Days 2–7: throw away half, add 50 g flour + 50 g water. You want bubbles, a rise, and a smell like yogurt and ripe fruit — not paint thinner.
If you already have a starter in the fridge, take it out the night before, feed 1:2:2 (starter:flour:water) and bake when it peaks.
