Rye Sourdough Starter

This detailed 7-day guide teaches you how to create a strong, reliable sourdough starter using whole rye flour and water. A sourdough starter is a living culture of wild yeast and lactic acid bacteria that makes bread and pizza rise naturally. Each day, you’ll feed the starter fresh flour and water to encourage the right microbes while discarding excess to keep it healthy. After the first week, you’ll have a mature starter ready for baking, plus an easy weekly maintenance routine.
