I’ve been starting a starter for sourdough bread making. I forgot about it all yesterday, that was Day 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had it on the fridge, which really doesn’t feel 70 – 75 degrees at all. Who knows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At any rate, I took it down this morning and fed it, it had bubbles right away, I put it next to the stove to sit and had more bubbles a little bit later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve seen info telling you to discard 1\/2 of the starter before feeding each day the first week of a new starter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve also seen info telling you nothing but feeding 1:1 every day for a new starter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All in all whatever I do, it’ll work or it won’t. I think it is working though, definitely has a bit of a sour nice smell to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I put 1\/4 c. flour and the same amount of water. Today reading something made me put another of the same flour in about half an hour later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s still bubbly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow I will though discard half and feed 1\/2 c. flour and 1\/4 c. water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m using Organic White Unbleached Spelt and spring water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m no purist, at least not yet. Wanting to do Sourdough bread making for years, and years, NOW finally really trying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got a cool kit on Amazon Vine <\/a>for making sourdough starter and bread in November 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Somehow I lost the jar tracking strip and temperature strip in the kit since then. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n\n\n\n
