How To Make Feeding Sourdough Starter Recipe

The main dish for Italian Mediterranean dieters is feeding sourdough starter bread dough processed with fermentation. It has a slightly sour taste and is similar to regular bread.

Really to make bread dough requires a long way, containing sticky flour fermented about 7 – 14 days. This makes me can’t wait for the perfect dough result. If you make it step by step, it will ultimately produce a satisfying one.

To make Feeding Sourdough Starter I made it with 3 ingredients namely wheat flour, breadcrumbs, and water with the same measure.

The reason I added wheat flour to it is that in addition to being a flavor enhancer, this flour also has many benefits because there is content in it. Wheat contains high flavonoids and antioxidants, nutrients in this wheat are thought to play a role in maintaining vascular health and reducing the risk of developing the disease.
