HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN SOURDOUGH STARTER
A sourdough starter is a simple mixture of flour and water that captures natural wild yeast and beneficial bacteria from the environment. Once established, it becomes the natural leavening agent used to make traditional sourdough bread without commercial yeast.What You'll Need:
* Unbleached flour* Clean water* A glass jar
* A spoonDay 1
Mix:* 50 grams flour* 50 grams water* Stir until no dry flour remains. Cover loosely and leave at room temperature for 24 hours.Day 2-3
* You may not see much activity yet, and that's perfectly normal.* Discard about half of the mixture and feed with:* 50 grams flour
* 50 grams water
* Mix well and leave for another 48 hours.Days 4–14
* Continue the same process each day:* Discard about half of the starter.* Feed with equal parts flour and water.* Stir well.* Leave at room temperature.* During this time you may notice bubbles, a pleasant tangy aroma, and an increase in volume.When Is It Ready?
A healthy starter is ready to bake with when it:* Doubles in size approximately 4 hours after feeding* Has plenty of bubbles throughout* Smells pleasantly sour and yeasty* Consistently rises and falls each day for at least 3 days in a row* Most starters become reliable within 30 - 90 days.A Few Helpful Tips
* Use unbleached flour for best results.* Avoid airtight lids while the starter is developing.* Room temperature matters—warmer kitchens generally develop starters faster.* Patience is key. Every starter develops at its own pace.From My Kitchen
My own sourdough starter is maintained with just flour and water and has been carefully nurtured over time. It is the heart of every loaf baked at Wild Blossom Sourdough and helps create the flavor, texture, and character that make traditional sourdough so special.
A Guide to Sourdough Inclusions
One of my favorite things about sourdough baking is experimenting with different flavors and ingredients. From sharp cheddar and jalapeños to sweet cranberries, nuts, seeds, and herbs, each inclusion brings something special to a loaf.
Over time, I've learned that successful inclusion loaves aren't just about what you add—it's also about how and when you add it. This chart shares some helpful guidelines for incorporating common ingredients while maintaining a strong dough, beautiful crumb, and great oven spring.
Whether you're new to sourdough or have been baking for years, I hope you find it helpful on your sourdough journey.

Sourdough Baking Secrets
Tips & TricksSourdough bakers guard some of these tricks like family heirlooms. None of them are magic, but they can make a noticeable difference.🥖 Secret #1: Underproof slightly for better oven springMany home bakers wait for dough to double. Many artisan bakers don't.
Look for about 60–80% rise.
Dough should be domed and jiggly with small bubbles on the sides.
If you wait for a full double, you often sacrifice oven spring.🥖 Secret #2: A warmer starter is a stronger starterA lot of bakers keep their starter around: 78–82°F (25–28°C).
A starter fed and kept warm is often dramatically stronger than one fed from a cold counter or refrigerator.🥖 Secret #3: Shape tighter than you thinkMany beginners are too gentle.
Professional bakers often create a surprisingly tight skin during shaping. That tension is what helps produce: taller loaf, better ear, rounder shape. You don't want to degas completely, but you do want tension.🥖 Secret #4: The fridge is a flavor machineMany artisan bakeries intentionally cold-proof 24 hours, 36 hours, sometimes 48 hours. The longer cold proof develops flavor and often improves scoring.🥖 Secret #5: Steam matters less than a sealed environmentA lot of bakers obsess over steam.
The real secret: dutch oven, roaster,
Covered baker. The lid traps moisture from the dough itself.🥖 Secret #6: Inclusion loaves ferment fasterThis surprises people. Fruit, sugar, cheese, and jalapeños often speed fermentation.🥖 Secret #7: Internal temperature isn't the whole storyA loaf can hit 210°F - 215°F and still be slightly underbaked if the crust hasn't set. Many bakers look for: deep golden crust, hollow sound, internal temp around 210–220°F.🥖 Secret #8: High hydration isn't automatically betterInstagram made everyone think 80%,
85%, 90% hydration equals better bread. Many bakeries producing beautiful sandwich-style sourdough stay around 65–72% hydration.🥖 Secret #9: The best crumb is not the most open crumbCustomers often prefer medium open crumb, soft texture, good sandwich structure rather than giant Instagram holes. The loaf that sells best is often not the loaf that wins competitions.🥖 Secret #10: The biggest bakery secret of allConsistency beats perfection. Many successful micro-bakeries sell: the same formula, the same process, the same loaf week after week. They don't chase every new technique on YouTube.
Why I Use a Stiff StarterAt Wild Blossom Sourdough, I use a stiff sourdough starter because it helps create the kind of bread I love to bake: flavorful, beautifully risen, and not overly sour.A stiff starter contains less water which gives it a thicker, dough-like texture. This slower, steadier fermentation helps build strength, structure, and a gentle sourdough flavor without becoming too sharp or tangy.For my loaves, a stiff starter helps with:Better oven spring -- A strong starter helps the dough rise beautifully in the oven, giving each loaf a lovely lift and shape.A milder flavor -- Because it ferments more slowly, a stiff starter can create a softer, more balanced sourdough taste rather than an overly sour one.Stronger dough -- The thicker consistency helps support the dough structure, which is especially helpful for handmade loaves.More consistent results -- A healthy, active stiff starter gives me a reliable foundation for every batch I bake.Sourdough is simple, but it is also alive. A good loaf begins long before it goes into the oven. It starts with a healthy starter, patience, and time.That is part of what makes Wild Blossom Sourdough special: simple ingredients, traditional methods, and homemade goodness.
