Pumpkin pasta sauce recipe

It’s pumpkin season! Alex and I needed a quick and easy recipe for some dinner guests, and of course we took that chance to create something entirely new: this penne with pumpkin sauce recipe. Though it’s typically used in sweet dishes, pumpkin puree actually makes for a great pumpkin pasta sauce! It’s got a creamy texture that melds seamlessly with Parmesan cheese. It’s comfy, easy (like 30 minutes easy), and lovely for fall. Keep reading for our pumpkin pasta sauce recipe, and a few more pumpkin recipes we love.

How to make pumpkin pasta sauce

This pumpkin pasta sauce recipe is similar to the sauce in our Pumpkin Gnocchi Bake with Goat Cheese, another brilliant pumpkin recipe. Here are the secrets to this simple pumpkin pasta sauce! Saute some minced garlic in a bit of olive oil, then carefully add canned pumpkin puree, vegetable broth and spices (like chili powder and nutmeg). Simmer until it becomes thick, then stir in a bit of Greek yogurt. One trick is to temper the Greek yogurt with the hot sauce: mixing the Greek yogurt with the pasta sauce makes sure the yogurt doesn’t curdle when immediately hitting the hot pasta sauce. Finally, mix in shredded Parmesan cheese.

The resulting pumpkin pasta sauce is flavorful and creamy, with no bitter aftertaste like canned pumpkin can sometimes have. Mainly, it’s cheesy and delicious! Even better, you can make up the entire pumpkin pasta sauce recipe and boil the penne in 30 minutes. This pumpkin pasta sauce recipe can work on any type of short pasta, like macaroni, rigatoni, or fusilli (spirals). You could also use it on longer pastas like linguine or fettuccine, but we typically make this one with short pasta.

About the cheese

As food bloggers and cookbook authors, Alex and I have tried a lot of different products over the years. We both agreed that this Tillamook Farmstyle Cut Shredded Cheese is truly something special. The shreds are huge, triple the size of standard shreds, which makes for an even, gooey melt. And the flavor is incredible. We used the Mexican 4 Cheese flavor in this chili cheese dip recipe, a blend of Cheddar, Monterey Jack, Queso Quesadilla, and Asadero. We also like to snack on the shreds while cooking, since they’re so tasty and easy to grab! Here’s a little more info on Tillamook Farmstyle Cut Shredded Cheese:

It has a hand-grated texture and is crafted to deliver ideal melt, stretch, texture and flavor. It’s grated straight off of 40 lb. blocks of award-winning, naturally aged Tillamook Cheddar. The cheese is made with the highest-quality milk from cows that are not treated with artificial growth hormones. It’s also: Bigger – The New Farmstyle Cut is bigger than other shreds Meltier – Has a smoother, more even melt and fuller body Tastier – More flavorful because they are made with real, high-quality Tillamook Cheese

How to make white chili cheese dip

This white chili cheese dip is very simple to make. The base is made creamy using blended pinto beans, creamy Greek yogurt, garlic, and some Mexican spices. Blend it up and stir it together in the skillet with Mexican cheese, white beans, and green chiles, which are part of the play on white chili. Top with extra Mexican cheese, red peppers, green onions and corn, and pop it in the oven until the cheese is gooey. It makes the kitchen smell divine and is a total hit at parties. (Ours already has been downed multiple times!) If you’re into a little spice, add the hot sauce: the amount we’ve called for only adds a subtle kick. And of course, it’s over the top good with those Tillamook Farmstyle Cut Shredded Cheese. Note that if you’re serving it at a party, we recommend making in advance then reheating in the host’s oven (or assembling it all prior to the baking step).

Description

Looking for easy finger food recipes for a crowd? This white chili cheese dip is perfect for entertaining, baked in a skillet covered in gooey cheese.

Ingredients 2 medium garlic cloves 15-ounce can pinto beans 3/4 cup whole milk Greek yogurt 1 teaspoon cumin 1/2 teaspoon onion powder 1 teaspoon oregano 1 teaspoon chili powder 15-ounce can white beans 1 1/2 to 2 cups Tillamook Farmstyle Mexican 4 Cheese Shredded Cheese, divided 1 4 ounce can diced mild green chiles 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional) 1/2 red pepper 2 green onions 3/4 cup frozen corn Tortilla chips, for serving
Instructions

Preheat oven to 375F.

Peel the garlic cloves, then add them to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until chopped. Drain the pinto beans. Add the pinto beans, Greek yogurt, cumin, oregano, chili powder, onion powder, and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Process until smooth, about 1 minute.

Brush a cast iron skillet or 9 x 9″ pan with olive oil and pour bean mixture into the skillet. Drain the white beans. To the bean mixture, stir in the white beans, 1/2 cup Mexican cheese, green chiles, hot sauce (optional), and 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt.

Mince the red pepper and thinly slice the green onions. Top the white chili cheese dip with 1 to 1 1/2 cups Mexican cheese (depending on your cheese preference!), red pepper, green onions, and frozen corn.

Bake for 20 minutes until cheese is melted*. Serve warm with tortilla chips.

Notes

*If you’re serving this chili cheese dip at a party, we recommend making in advance then completing Step 5 baking in the host’s oven. (You can also bake it in advance and reheat, but the just melted cheese from the oven is the best part!)

Our “pretty simple” sourdough bread recipe

This sourdough bread recipe is years in the making. For the past 2 years, Alex and I have been making sourdough bread every week. In that time, we’ve learned that making sourdough bread is a complex process. But! We’re also passionate about Pretty Simple Cooking. So we wanted to simplify the process so that everyone on the planet could learn how to make sourdough bread. We set out to make the best sourdough bread recipe on the internet — that is, the most repeatable, easiest to follow recipe in the world. A recipe complete with a printable checklist and a step by step video.

So here it is: our simplified sourdough bread recipe! It’s our original A Couple Cooks recipe, though it was partially inspired by recipes from the Tartine cookbook and The Perfect Loaf. Our perfect sourdough bread? We love a chewy crust, tangy flavor, and just enough holes in the bread to be interesting but still hold up to a slather of peanut butter. Our sourdough bread recipe is the perfect everyday bread for snacking, sandwiches, and serving with soup. Ready to dive in? Before you start, read this post in detail so you understand the necessary tools and concepts! And if you have any questions, let us know in the comments below.

Making sourdough bread: an overview

Making sourdough bread is a process that spans across 3 days. Here’s an outline of the tasks and approximate active time for how to make sourdough bread:

Day 1 Evening: Feed the starter (5 minutes active time) Day 2 Make bread and proof overnight (5 hours active time) Day 3 Bake (1 hour active time)

As you can see, it’s a bit of an involved process! So then why is our sourdough bread recipe simpler than other recipe? We’ve thoughtfully crafted easy to follow instructions that you can even memorize (we have!). Our recipe uses a Dutch oven for cooking the bread instead of steam, which can be hard to create at home. And, we have created a custom video series and printable checklist so that you don’t miss a step. The hardest part is waiting for the bread to cool!

Sourdough bread: what you need

Making sourdough requires some special equipment to get the job done. Here’s a list of the required tools. We’ve linked to the exact tools that we use, but you can use whatever suits you!

Required Tools for this Sourdough Bread Recipe Large dutch oven for baking the bread An active sourdough starter (here’s how to make it) Plastic bag for proofing (reuse it every time you make bread) 500 gram oval banneton proofing basket where the dough has its final rest (prounounced ban-eh-TONE) Kitchen scale for measuring Our printable Sourdough Bread Checklist Parchment paper Bench scraper for shaping the dough Dough whisk for quickly and easily stirring the dough mixture (optional) Lame (pronounced lahm) or sharp knife for scoring the bread Oven gloves for easily removing the bread from the oven (optional; not shown)

What flour should I use for sourdough bread?

You can make sourdough bread with many different types of flour. For our sourdough bread recipe, we use a mixture of all-purpose flour (for texture), bread flour (for strength), and whole wheat flour (for flavor). We find that this mix gives us the type of bread we love: a moderately open crumb (those beautiful holes in sourdough), a chewy crust, and tangy flavor. Personally, we use King Arthur brand organic flour for all of these flours. In testing many different flours, we find it has the best and most consistent results for our sourdough bread recipe. (Some other flour brands we’ve tried made for dense bread.)

Proofing sourdough bread

So, what’s proofing? Proofing is when you let bread dough rest after you’ve added yeast so that it rises. In this recipe, there are multiple steps that involve proofing, some at room temperature and some in a warm area. What’s the optimal sourdough bread proofing temperature? For best results, your sourdough bread proofing temperature should be between 80°F and 90°F.

The recipe below calls for setting up a proofing area where the bread can sit at this temperature. If you have it, use the proofing setting on your oven for this step. Other options: you can turn on the oven to preheat for about 1 minute and then turn it off before you place the dough in the oven. Or, you can pour a few cups of boiling water into the oven beneath your bowl to raise the temperature. Just be careful not to accidentally turn on the oven for any other reason while the bread is proofing! (We’ve had this happen before, and it’s not pretty!) You could do the entire recipe at room temperature, but the resulting dough will be less consistent and the timing will be almost double on the final proof.

What’s a banneton?

For the final proofing stage in our sourdough bread recipe, the bread proofs in a basket called a banneton. The banneton helps to shape the bread and also makes for the lovely decorative lines that are indented on the top of the bread. To ensure that the bread doesn’t stick to the banneton, we use a mix of 1/2 cup all purpose flour and 1/2 cup rice flour for the banneton, a tip we learned from the Tartine cookbook. We keep a container full of this mix on hand for the bread. When it’s not in use, you can store the banneton at room temperature. There’s no need to clean the banneton; you can just let it dry out. After every few bakes, we scrape out the excess flour with a spoon so that you can still get those nice decorative lines in the top of the dough.

Feeding & maintaining a sourdough starter

Sourdough bread is a naturally leavened bread: meaning that instead of using active dry yeast to rise, it uses a sourdough starter! The first step in our sourdough bread recipe is to feed the sourdough starter. The night before you decide to make bread, feed the sourdough starter following the instructions in the recipe below. Learning how to care for your starter is an important part of this sourdough bread recipe. To learn about how to feed your sourdough starter, see our post and video about How to Feed Sourdough Starter.

If you don’t have a sourdough starter yet, never fear! You can learn how to make sourdough starter at home: and it’s really simple. See our post and video about How to Make Sourdough Starter–Out of Thin Air!

What is baker’s percentage?

If you’ve read up on sourdough bread, you may have heard of the terms “baker’s percentage” or “hydration level”. These terms refer to the amount of water in the recipe, as compared to the amount of flour. This sourdough bread recipe is a high hydration bread; the baker’s percentage is 78% hydration (350 grams of water / 450 grams of flour).

How to store homemade bread

Once you’ve baked your homemade bread, it is best eaten within 48 hours. We store ours wrapped in cloth at room temperature (we made a special bread bag for storage out of a large napkin). If you don’t think you’ll eat the entire loaf in 48 hours, you can freeze whatever you don’t think you’ll eat! Let the sourdough bread cool fully to room temperature, then cut it into slices and place it into a sealed bag or container.

Printable checklist for sourdough bread

Last thing: as we’ve honed this recipe through the years, we found that the hardest part of making sourdough bread was keeping track of which step we were on! To solve that problem, we created this easy to follow printable checklist so that you don’t miss a beat. Filling in the circles also adds satisfaction to each step! You can reuse the checklist five times; after that, print a new checklist and you’re good to go.

Are you ready? If you’ve made it this far, you’re ready to learn how to make sourdough bread at home. See the master recipe below — and don’t forget that printable! Let us know any questions in the comments. Happy baking!

Description

This sourdough bread recipe is the ultimate guide to making your own sourdough bread! You’ll be amazed by the tangy flavor, beautiful chewy crust, and perfect texture. And don’t forget the printable checklist!

Ingredients 200 grams all purpose flour 200 grams bread flour 50 grams whole wheat flour 350 grams purified water, room temperature 80 grams active sourdough starter 10 grams kosher salt 50/50 blend of rice flour and all purpose flour, for dusting the banneton
Instructions Day 1: Preparing the Starter

On Day 1, you’ll be simply feeding your sourdough starter the night before you prepare the dough.

Feed the starter: Remove the active starter from the refrigerator at 9 pm. Discard all but one tablespoon of the starter. Add 50 grams of purified water and 50 grams of all purpose flour. Stir, cover, and leave at room temperature overnight. The starter should be bubbly and about doubled in size between 9:00 am and 11:00 am the following day. (More about feeding your starter is at How to Feed Sourdough Starter.)

Print the printable checklist: Print off our Sourdough Bread Checklist to use when baking the dough tomorrow!

Day 2: Preparing the Dough

On Day 2, you’ll be making and proofing the dough. This is the most labor intensive day. Overall, the process will take around 5 hours; it’s a great weekend activity. The numbers below correspond to the printable checklist; make sure you have it printed and ready to go!

1 Mix flour and water; rest for 1 hour at room temp (“autolyse”): In a small mixing bowl, combine the three flours (from the recipe above) with the purified water. Use a spoon or dough whisk to stir until all dry flour has been incorporated into a raggy dough. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or place the bowl in a large ziplock bag and place leave room temperature. Set timer for 1 hour.

2a Prepare the proofing area: Prepare a warm area for proofing before starting next step. For best results, the proofing should be in a warm location, between 80° and 90° degrees. 

2b Stir in the starter and proof for 30 minutes: Add the starter to the dough and stir until loosely incorporated. It does not need to be perfectly stirred in. Cover the bowl and place in the warm area for proofing. Set timer for 30 minutes.

Watch the video instructions for about folding for the next few steps.

3 Add salt, mix with hands, and proof for 30 minutes: Add the kosher salt evenly across the dough and mix the dough with your hands until the salt is incorporated. See video above to watch how to mix the dough. Return the covered dough to the proofing area and set timer for 30 minutes.

4 Fold and proof for 30 minutes: Fold the dough: with wet hands, lift one side of the dough straight up so that it stretches and fold it across the center; turn the bowl a quarter turn and repeat 4 times. Lift up the dough and wrap it onto itself until you have a smooth surface, then flip it over and place it in the bowl seam side down. See video above to watch how to fold the dough. Return the covered dough to the proofing area and set timer for 30 minutes.

5 Fold and proof for 45 minutes: Fold the dough again in the same way as Step 4, wrapping it as much as possible without tearing the dough. Return the covered dough to a warm area and set timer for 45 minutes.

6 Gently fold and proof for 1 hour 30 minutes: Gently fold the dough in the same way as Step 4, being carefully not deflate built up air in the dough. Return the covered dough to a warm area and set timer for 1 hour.

Before you start, watch the video for instructions on pre-shaping and shaping the dough.

7 Pre-shape the dough and rest for 30 minutes at room temp: At this point the dough should appear bubbly on top and wiggle when shaken. (If it is not ready, proof for a few more minutes; the timing can vary depending on the temperature of your proofing and variations in the starter.) Turn the dough onto an unfloured countertop. Lightly flour the top of the dough and then use a bench scraper to gently scrape the dough into a ball, creating tension on top. Do not go so far that you tear the dough. Place an inverted bowl over the top of the dough. Set timer and rest the dough for 30 minutes.

8 Shape the dough, place in banneton, and rest for 30 minutes at room temp: Prepare the banneton by rubbing the 50/50 rice flour mixture into all of the grooves of the banneton. Remove the bowl from over the dough, which should be formed into a gently rounded shape. Rub just enough flour onto the top of the dough so that it isn’t tacky. Use the bench scraper to flip the dough so that the floured side is down. Gently stretch the dough into a rectangle. Moving quickly, fold the top third of the dough down, and the bottom third up to create a packet. Rotate the dough 90 degrees and gently roll it into a log shape. Be careful to not press the dough or deflate it. Use your hands to gently pull the dough tight and pinch off the seams at the end of the dough. Rub a little more flour onto the top of the dough so that it isn’t tacky. Gently flip the dough into the banneton and pinch off the bottom seam. Place the banneton into the proofing bag and set timer for 30 minutes.

9 Refrigerate overnight: Place the banneton in bag in your refrigerator until the following morning.

Day 3: Baking the Dough

10 Preheat the dutch oven at 515°F for 30 minutes: The following morning, place a covered Dutch oven on the center rack in your oven. Preheat to 515°F for at least 30 minutes. If your oven only reaches to 500°F, the recipe will still work but you won’t get quite as much rise out of the bread.

11 Place on parchment, score, and bake for 17 minutes in Dutch oven:

After preheating, cut a piece of parchment paper the width of your banneton. Remove the banneton from the refrigerator and pull back slightly around the edge of the dough to release it from the banneton. Gently invert the banneton onto the parchment paper and reach your hand into the basket to release it from the banneton. Try not to deflate the dough.  Using a lame or sharp knife, cut a shallow slit at angle across the top of the dough. You can also add additional small shallow cuts for decoration.  As quickly as possible, remove the lid from the Dutch oven and carefully place the parchment paper with dough into the Dutch oven. Cover it and set the timer for 17 minutes.

12 Place bread on rack, reduce to 400°F and bake for 23 minutes: After 17 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 400°F. Remove the Dutch oven and carefully take out the bread and set it directly on oven rack. Bake an additional 23 minutes. Remove the bread from the oven and allow to cool on a cooling rack for at least 45 minutes.

Eat immediately. Store in a bread bag on the counter for up to 2 days, or freeze wrapped in foil in a plastic bag for several months.

But first, here’s our video on the process: watch Alex show you how to make sourdough starter!

Sourdough starter | Best sourdough bread recipe | how to make sourdough starter What is sourdough starter?

A sourdough starter, also called levain, is a fermented dough filled with natural, wild yeast and a bacteria called lactobacilli. The sourdough starter is what makes sourdough bread rise. Instead of using active dry yeast like in other bread recipes, the sourdough starter is used for sourdough bread. Along with leavening the bread, the starter also brings that classic sour flavor.

A sourdough starter is literally full of life! There are 50 million yeasts and 5 billion lactobacilli bacteria in every teaspoon of starter dough. Sound weird? Actually, humans have been doing this for thousands of years; the process of making sourdough starter is as old as bread itself. For over 5,000 years, humans have mixed flour and water, waited for it to ferment, and then used it as leavening for bread. Ready to take part in the ancient practice of making sourdough starter for yourself?

Sourdough starter | Best sourdough bread recipe | how to make sourdough starter Making sourdough starter

Making sourdough starter is a simple process. You simply mix together flour and water, and then wait, wait, and wait so more for the yeast and bacteria to do their thing! It’s a 5 to 6 day process that mostly consists of waiting. For our sourdough starter recipe we use a mix of whole wheat and all-purpose flour to give the start a jump start. Once the starter is active and vibrant, we switch to all purpose flour for regular feeding of the starter.

And that’s right, we said feeding a starter! Since this little dude is alive (see above), you’re going to have to feed him or her regularly. See our post on How to Feed a Sourdough Starter. You may want to give him a name too! (Ours is Starty. Original, right?)

Description

This sourdough starter recipe shows how to make sourdough starter from scratch. No need to order online, you can make a starter for bread right at home!

Ingredients Whole wheat flour All-purpose flour Room temperature filtered water
Instructions

Day 1: Use a kitchen scale to add 25 grams whole wheat flour, 25 grams all-purpose flour, and 50 grams of water. Stir to combine. The mixture should look like a thick paste. Cover the jar and place in a warm location for 24 hours. The temperature of your room can have a big effect on the speed at which your starter grows. Ideally, you want to be between 68 and 72 degrees. The starter will not flourish in cooler temperatures.

Day 2: You may or may not see a few bubbles starting to appear in the starter. Either way, discard about half of the starter and add the same ingredients to the jar: 25 grams whole wheat flour, 25 grams all-purpose flour, and 50 grams of water. Stir to combine. Cover the jar and place in a warm location for 24 hours.

Day 3: You will likely see a few more bubbles today. The starter should start to smell a little bit sour (in a good way!) Again, discard half of the starter. Today, you’ll switch to using only all-purpose flour. Add 50 grams all-purpose flour and 50 grams of water. Stir to combine. Cover the jar and place in a warm location for 24 hours.

Day 4: You should see a lot more bubbles and the starter should increase in volume. Follow the same process: discard half of the starter. Add 50 grams all-purpose flour and 50 grams of water. Stir to combine. Cover the jar and place in a warm location for 24 hours.

Day 5: The starter will be very bubbly and double in volume. It will have a funky sour smell that indicates the magic of sourdough is ready to happen! This starter is ready to use! Follow our instructions for feeding and maintaining a starter to keep it alive on the long term.

Notes

Depending on your room temperature conditions, it might take several more days of the same process to get the starter to be really bubbly and active!

How to Feed Sourdough Starter

Wondering how to feed sourdough starter? Here’s all you need to know about on feeding and maintaining sourdough starter, including how to tell if your sourdough starter is bad.

Got a sourdough starter? If you’re baking sourdough bread at home and suddenly mom or dad to a sourdough starter, the new responsibility might feel overwhelming! Luckily, feeding and maintaining sourdough starter is quite simple. As part of our series How to Make Sourdough Bread: The Simplified Guide, we’re showing you how to feed sourdough starter. A sourdough starter is essential for making sourdough bread. And in order to have bread on the regular, you have to learn to feed sourdough starter to keep it happy and healthy. Keep reading for how to feed sourdough starter, storing and maintaining sourdough starter, and how to tell if sourdough starter is bad.

Watch how to feed sourdough starter

But first, here’s our video on the process: watch Alex show you how to feed sourdough starter!


Finding a sourdough starter

A sourdough starter, also called levain, is a fermented dough filled with natural yeast. The starter is used to make sourdough bread rise and give it that characteristic sour flavor. If you’ve ended up here, we assume at this point you already have a sourdough starter on hand.

But if you don’t have a sourdough starter, did you know you can make it at home? Here’s our guide on how to make sourdough starter, complete with all our tips. You also can get a sourdough starter from a friend or purchase it online…but what’s the fun in that? Making sourdough starter takes very little hands on time. It takes 5 days of waiting time before the starter is active and ready to go.

Storing sourdough starter

To store your starter, you’ll need a sourdough starter container. Any covered jar will work, but here’s our the sourdough starter container. Just place the starter right into the container, which is now his or her home. (Note: Over time the starter’s home can become gummy: every week or two, take the starter out of the container and wash it, then replace the starter and follow the normal feeding instructions below.)

You’ll want to store your starter in the refrigerator until you’re ready to make bread. When you make bread, you’ll feed the sourdough starter the night before (see the recipe below), then return the sourdough starter to the refrigerator until you’re ready to bake again.

Feeding sourdough starter

So, you’ve got a sourdough starter and it lives in its container in the refrigerator. What’s the frequency for feeding sourdough starter?

You can leave the starter in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days at a time between feedings. We recommend feeding sourdough starter at least twice a week for best results. Remember, if you’re planning to make bread on a given day, you’ll feed sourdough starter the night before you bake. So depending on how often you want to make bread, you may end up feeding your starter more often. For us, we make a loaf of sourdough bread about 4 times a week, so we feed it 4 times per week (every night before we make bread). If we have a week where we plan to make less bread, we’ll still feed the starter 2 times per week, regardless of whether we’re making bread. What are the actual steps for how to feed sourdough starter? Go to the recipe below.

If you’re actively using your starter to make our Sourdough Bread recipe, the instructions in the recipe below will allow just enough leftover sourdough starter to have enough starter for the next day’s bread. If you’re not making bread every few days, you’ll need to discard excess starter as part of the feeding process to keep it healthy and happy.

What is a healthy sourdough starter like? A healthy starter smells funky and fruity, in a good way. It’s a floury paste that’s lightly bubbly. If things start to take a turn, see the Troubleshooting section below.

Troubleshooting your sourdough starter

Every once in a while something can go wrong with your starter. If you don’t feed it often enough, the sourdough starter starts to smell like alcohol. You may also find that the starter loses its vibrancy and doesn’t get too bubbly and active after a feeding. Don’t worry, you can always get the starter to recover. Throw away all but about a teaspoon of the starter and nurse it back to life following the instructions for making a sourdough starter. It should take 5 days or less to be healthy again.

What if I go on vacation?

What if you want to go on vacation: what should you do with your sourdough starter? In our experience, we’ve found that if you’re leaving for over a week, it’s best to discard your sourdough starter and start again with the process of making a sourdough starter. Of course if you have a friend or family member who can babysit your sourdough starter, that’s even better! Actually, in Sweden you can hire a babysitter for your sourdough starter. So maybe it’s not so far fetched!

Alright, if you’ve made it this far you’re ready to learn how to feed sourdough starter. See the recipe below!

Description

Wondering how to feed a sourdough starter? Here’s all you need to know about on feeding and maintaining sourdough starter, including how to tell if your sourdough starter is bad.

Ingredients 50 grams all-purpose flour 50 grams filtered water (room temperature)
Instructions At around 9:00 pm, take the active starter out of the refrigerator. Remove and throw away all but about 1 tablespoon of the starter. Add 50 grams of purified water and 50 grams of all purpose flour. Stir, cover, and leave out on a counter at room temperature overnight. The following morning when the starter is active and bubbly and about doubled in volume, use in bread or place it in the refrigerator.  (We find that the starter takes about 12 hours in our home to double in size; timing in your home may vary slightly.) If you’re using the sourdough starter in bread, place any remaining starter that you didn’t use in the recipe in the refrigerator until the next feeding.
Notes

Note: Our sourdough bread recipe calls for 80 grams of sourdough starter, leaving 20 grams of starter for the next batch. If you’re using a different bread recipe that calls for more starter, you can add any amount of flour and water as long as the weights are the same.
