Here's how to make sourdough starter: let's create the starter together as grandmothers used to and then prepare Bread, Panettone, Colomba and much more... The natural sourdough, also called \"pasta madre\" or \"lievito madre\", is a dough of flour and water which, through spontaneous contamination from microorganisms present in the raw materials, air and environment, develops an indigenous microflora dominated by lactic acid bacteria. Feeding on the elements in the flour mixed with water, they grow and multiply and in this process produce carbon dioxide, which, trapped in the network formed by gluten, allows the leavening. The starter can be produced in solid form or in liquid form (liquids starter, \"licoli\"); each baker will choose with experience which is best for them. In this guide I will talk about the solid starter, with which I have gained good practice over the years. This is a brief summary, a simple and practical explanation in plain words of what sourdough starter is. Creating a good starter is not a quick process: it requires care and dedication and at least one refresh per day for the first 20 days to balance the microflora in the acidified dough, which at the beginning is not edible and may contain pathogens. Once you have obtained a good starter, you will need to care for it often so it remains vigorous, renewing it with strong flours such as type 0 to use it at its best and achieve perfect leavening without acidic smell or bitter taste. These are brief notes, but following the tutorial you will find step-by-step information to obtain a perfect, active starter. If you're ready to start this adventure, let's begin together.
