Description
My double-feed method that I talk about in my blog is simple: you feed your starter twice in one day—the day before you need it. The key is that you do NOT discard any starter between the two feedings.
No discard means there’s a little more math involved when figuring out how much starter to begin with. This calculator does that math for you.
And this method isn’t just for big bakery batches! It works just as well when you’re making a loaf or two, and it’s especially helpful when you’re waking up a starter that’s been resting in the fridge. A couple of feedings can get that sleepy starter active, bubbly, and ready to bake.
Just enter:
🥖 Active starter needed tomorrow
➕ Extra starter you want to keep
⏰ What time you want to mix your dough
The calculator does the rest.
It calculates both feedings and gives you your estimated feeding times, so you know exactly how much to feed and when.
