Sourdough starter


Yesterday I got a sourdough starter from a friend. It's a really well established starter. I got home after market and fed it. I wanted to feed it in the morning so fed it again this morning. It was bubbling away already. And really smells like sourdough. I can't wait to make some now. She also gave me a loaf of bread she had made. We swapped goat milk for the bread and starter.

In this picture, you can see how it was already bubbling this morning before I fed it again. And tonight, it's really looking good. I so hope I can keep this going.

  1. My cousin just gave me a sourdough starter recipe. I need to get busy and get it started. I have talked about doing it for years.
    Let us know how it goes :)

  2. I too have sourdough starter. I had some I started and had it for years, but then messed up and it had to be thrown out. So now I have more that I started not long ago. Sourdough is an easy keeper...

    Even though mine is not real established yet, it makes great pancakes and waffles...

  4. I hope I can keep this one going. I had it on the counter and one of the grands plopped a bag of cereal on the top of it. Of course, the paper towel fell into the starter. So I probably lost half of it. So I have it in here with me now.

    I hope you all get yours going soon. I just love sourdough bread. And with fresh home made goat cheese sounds wonderful.
