If you are maintaining your starter in the fridge, we recommend feeding it about once a week. The feeding process begins by removing 1 cup and then adding 4 ounces of flour (1 cup) and 4 ounces of water (1/2 cup). If you are keeping it at room temperature, you will need to feed it more often--about once every two days for best results. If you want to give your starter smaller feedings, you can discard 1/2 cup and then add 2 ounces of flour (1/2 cup) and 2 ounces of water (1/4 cup). These ratios ensure you will replace the amount you discard so that you do not deplete your volume of starter. Happy sourdough baking! Kye@KAF
