Join me as I make a sourdough starter from scratch. This process can take between several days and up to 2 weeks to have a bubbly, active starter, so don't get discouraged if this takes longer than a week. The length of time it takes to create an active sourdough starter depends on several factors, including kitchen temperature, environment, flour, water, and more. Just follow these tips and techniques for the best results.
