💡 Fermentation Tip

Overnight Starter Cheat. For a faster sourdough starter, replace the water with a live-culture liquid such as kombucha, water kefir, dairy kefir, or thinned yogurt. You can also stir the powder from a probiotic capsule into the water. This can help your starter begin bubbling within 12–24 hours.
