GOAL
Develop three different wheat cultures. You will be using them throughout Module 1.

Analyze the changes in the appearance and flavor of your culture as it develops.

Learn to use leftover starter culture respectfully.

VIDEO
Watch three video instructions below on how to build different cultures. Download and read the recipes.

If you haven't got scales which measure weights below one gram, watch our video to learn how you can do without them!

Study six downloadable recipes based on leftover sourdough culture.

WORK
Usually a sourdough culture takes at least 7 days to build.

If you already have your own culture, feel free to use it during the course (either as an alternative to, or along with, the cultures on the syllabus).

After the culture acquires a pleasant aroma you may try your hand at recipes based on leftover sourdough culture.
