My #1 tip? Never feed your starter a 1:1:1 ratio! I used to feed my starter equal parts starter, water & flour and I was wondering why my loaves had no structure, were so sticky and hard to work with…then I discovered the magic of feeding ratios! Game changer! I almost always feed 1:3:3 or higher! Here’s why: • Builds stronger, more active yeast • Keeps yeast bacteria in balance • Prevents an overly acidic starter • Helps protect gluten & dough structure • Slows things down for more predictable

❌ Don’t feed your starter at an equal ratio (1:1:1). ❌ Why? When you refresh your starter with a higher ratio, like 1:3:3, you’re adding more fresh flour.

What is the starter feeding ratio and how does that impact my starter? This is applicable to a starter that’s already established not to a starter that you’re making now 🌾The feeding ratio is the ratio between the amount of water and the amount of flour, to the amount of starter that is being fed For example 50g starer fed with 50g water & 50g flour is a 1:1:1 ratio 25g starter fed with 50g water & 50g flour is a 1:2:2 ratio 15g starter fed with 60g water and 60g flour is a 1:4:4 ratio And so o
