Congratulations! You have received my sourdough starter, “Joy,” in the mail. Now it’s time to activate it so you can have an active and mature sourdough starter in as little as 2-3 days.
DAY 1
Rehydrate my sourdough starter
- Mix 10g of the Joy sourdough starter with 10g of water
Feeding #1
- Then add 50g water, mix
- Add 50g bread flour, mix
- Cover, mark your starting point
- Let sit 1 day in a warm place
DAY 2
Feeding #2
- Add 100g of water, mix

DAY 3
Feeding #3

ATTENTION
Generally, we use after the 10th feeding, but it can be used as early as Feeding 2-4, as long as it’s doubling and falling consistently.
