Sourdough Starter Ratio Calculators
I’m horrible at math, so I created two sourdough starter calculators. I figured I would make them available here on my blog in case you need them, too! The first calculator allows you to enter how much starter you need, and you can choose your own feeding ratio. Just choose when you want your starter to be ready to bake with, and the calculator will suggest the amount of starter, flour, and water to use. This works great for beginner or advanced sourdough fanatics, and can help you master the perfect loaf of bread!
