RESETTING YOUR SOURDOUGH STARTER - How To Make A More Active Starter

Resetting a sourdough starter from time to time is important as your sourdough might be too sour. This happens after many days of leaving your sourdough at room temperature. Resetting the starter has helped me to bake better bread. I'll show you how to do that in this video. Too sour starter can lead to the following issues: - Your bread could turn out flat. You have too much acidity in your dough that prevents the gluten network to form. - The bread is overly sticky - Preshaping is not possible as the dough is too sticky - The sourness is too strong on the final bread. I like to reset my starter every week at least once. Typically the starter is back to is usual strength after 24 hours. A half teaspoon of starter is really enough to port your sourdough into a new environment. Give it a shot and let me know if it works for you.
