Leave with lid open near patio door for the whole day. Close the lid overnight. Add 50g Tesco strong white flour and 50g tap water.

Repeat this process for 5 days adding flour and water each night.

On the fifth day split the mixture into two containers. Use one half to make the bread keep the other half as next starter.

To make the bread add 500g strong white flour, the sour dough mixture, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1tablespoon oh honey. I used a little more water to mix together to make a dough.
