How do sourdough starters work?

204 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)

Imagine you come from a tribe of yeast and bacteria that keeps discovering new dough to live in, generation after generation, for much longer than anyone can remember.

(Yeast don’t remember much, and a hundred years is a long time.)

That’s what it’s like. Don’t ask about what happened to your cousins, after the Other Loaf was split away…
