Refresh Natural Starter (Levain)

Ingredients (ratio 1:1:1)

Ready natural starter 100g

Bread flour 100g

Water 100g

Steps:

1. Weigh natural starter, bread flour and water (1:1:1) and mix well gently but with firm folding.

 2. Mix untill all ingredients are well mixed and do not over mix.

3. Cover and place it at room temperature to let it proof and rise till double. As beginner can make a mark for starting volume as reference. 

4. When it doubles its volume in room temperature, the starter is considered as refreshed successfully and ready to use for bread making. Otherwise put them in the fridge till next refresh.

Note:
1. Personally I ever refreshed the starter 3 weeks gap but depend on how hardy is the starter that one owns.

2. Otherwise the recommendation is once a week or alternate week.
