Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Your Base: Reserve a small portion of your established sourdough starter, roughly ½ cup, and set aside.
  2. Combine Water and Starter: In a clean jar, mix the reserved starter with ½ cup of water. Stir until uniform.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Incorporate ½ cup of flour, ¼ cup of cacao powder, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Stir vigorously until thick.
  4. Let It Rise: Cover the jar loosely and place it in a warm area for 4-6 hours, allowing it to double in size.
  5. Check for Doneness: It should have risen and displayed small bubbles, indicating it's ready for use or further feeding.
  6. Maintain and Feed: Feed daily if at room temperature or weekly if refrigerated to keep the starter lively.
