Maintaining the Ideal Temperature for a Robust Sourdough Starter: A Guide to Optimal Fermentation and Flavor
The “temperature for sourdough starter” refers to the specific temperature range that promotes optimal fermentation and flavor development in a sourdough starter, a fermented dough used in bread-making. Typically, this range falls between 70F (21C) and 85F (29C). For instance, a sourdough starter maintained at 75F (24C) exhibits vigorous fermentation, producing a pleasantly sour aroma and a consistent rise in dough.
