How do sourdough starters work?

205 views

I see people on food network shows talk about how they use a hundred year old sourdough starter for their bread. I don’t understand how it’s reused over and over – is it a matter of how the other ingredients are added? (sorry if i used the wrong tag, wasn’t sure where this fit)

You regularly use or discard some portion, and give the remaining portion additional food(flour and water). You’re creating a situation that’s favorable for the kind of organism you want.
