Low-Maintenance Sourdough Starter FAQs
How often do I need to feed a low-maintenance starter?
Once a week is plenty when your starter lives in the fridge between bakes. Feed it, let it bubble up, bake with it or tuck it back away — that is the whole routine.
What if I forget to feed it for a while?
Do not panic. A healthy starter is far tougher than its reputation suggests. Give it a couple of fresh feeds at room temperature and it usually bounces straight back, full of bubbles and ready to bake.
Is a low-maintenance starter still good for proper bread?
Absolutely. A weekly-fed starter still gives you that tangy flavour, open crumb, and crackly crust — the fridge simply slows things down between bakes, it does not dull the culture.
