Rye Sourdough Starter

A rye sourdough starter is made in the same way as a traditional liquid sourdough starter, however you use rye flour to make it instead of all purpose or bread flour. You can use dark rye or light rye flour. Organic rye flour will give you the fastest results.

Rye starters are a little different to liquid sourdough starters because they are typically more mousse like in structure and less liquid. You can find specific instructions to make a rye sourdough starter here.
