How To Freeze Sourdough Starter

Step 1

Feed starter and wait until it's bubbly, active, and has doubled in size. Portion 1/2 cup - 1 cup of starter into a small ziplock bag. Lay flat and squeeze the air out of the bag before sealing.

Step 2

Label the bag and include the date. Place in the freezer for safekeeping!

Step 3

The frozen sourdough starter that's not damaged by freezer burn or thaw/freeze cycles will last up to 12 months or more.

Step 4

Allow the frozen starter to thaw at room temperature until warmed through, around 12 hours.

Step 5

Feed 50g starter with 50g water and 50g fresh flour every 24 hours until it's bubbly and active!
