"Pearl White" gets fed after being used for each baking then lives in the refrigerator. To refresh for next baking, it's removed from the refrigerator to let it come up to room temperature and fed with 1:1 water:flour ratio to keep it at 100% hydration.

Working method

It's my first starter after many researchs on the internet; made in September 2016. Mix 50g flour + 50g water and let it sit at room temperature for 24 hours. Next day, discard half of the starter; add 50g flour + 50g water and let it sit at room temperature for 24 hours. Repeat this process for 14 days. I used King Arthur's bread flour and bottle spring water.
