Making a new starter

During days 1–3, the starter barely rises, so the sensor can't detect changes well. Keep it at room temperature for days 1–3, and use Quick Mode from day 4.

You can make a new starter with the steps below, even without the app or Plan.

Day 1

Mix rye or whole wheat flour and water 1:1 by weight, and leave it at room temperature for 24 hours without the device.

Day 2

Keep part of the starter and mix it with flour and water 1:1:1 by weight. Leave it at room temperature for 24 hours.

Day 3

Feed it the same way as day 2 and leave it at room temperature for another 24 hours.

From day 4

Feed at the same ratio, then use SourFriend's Quick Mode.

Plan in the app

Plan in the app guides you through making a new starter step by step. Connect SourFriend to the app to use Plan with no extra cost and no time limit.
