A simple recipe to make a basic sourdough starter that can be later used to make sourdough bread and other sourdough recipes.
Equipment

- 1 spoon
- 1 towel or cloth (to cover your jar)
- 1 rubber band or chalk marker (or other way to mark your mixture level)

- 50 g bottled water (avoid any water that could have chlorine in it, like tap water)
Instructions
- Mix flour and water in a jar until smooth.
