Chef Mik's Bread Starter


This is a base to a great starter well suited for ciabatta, Italian bread, focaccia and so on. It’s good to have on hand and will keep as long as you replenish it.

One note; yeasted water is simply water with very little yeast in it, just enough to get the starter going, here is the basic measurement: 1/4 TBS instant yeast that dissolved in 2.5dl water.
Shopping List
Rye flour
Whole wheat flour
Bread flour
Unbleached all purpose flour
Yeast
Filtered water

My Mad Method

Combine 1 TBS rye flour, 1 TBS whole wheat flour together with 1/2 TBS yeasted water along with circa 3-4dl water









Add 250g bread flour, 150g all purpose flour











When the starter has come together into a tight mix transfer it to a container with a tight fitting lid and store at room temperature for 24 hours









This is the starter after 24 hours it is now ready to be used! For a sour starter allow it to sit a bit longer
