Combine 1 Cup Water and 1 Cup Flour in a glass or ceramic container.  Make sure to mix with a wooden spoon, do not use metal.

Cover the container with a coffee filter to protect the starter and still allow air.

“Feed” your starter with 1 Tablespoon flour and 1 Tablespoon water 4-5 times a day for the first 2-3 days (don’t forget the wooden spoon 🙂

The starter should become bubbly with a slightly sour smell.

At his point you can put your starter in the refrigerator and pull it out about once a week to feed it.  When you use some of the starter make sure to feed it again.  The longer you keep and successfully feed your starter, the more sour the flavor.
