I made starter!! Obviously it's not completely developed yet, but I am so proud of myself this morning! I was worried it would get too cold in my kitchen last night and it wouldn't survive..but this is what I had this morning...a beautiful bubbly sourdough starter!! I am high-fiving and patting myself on the back in front of my computer screen right now. :) This baby is going to bubble for about...8 more hours, then on to the next step...feeding! I find the whole process of bread-making fascinating...it's a living organism! So interesting how it grows and develops into something so different than what you originally started with. I love bread!!
I've never done this. I have Rose Levy Beranbaum's Bread Bible and have considered making some of these breads but first of all she's what 3' tall and in her world an 8" cake feeds 20. I my world if I'm gonna spend 3 days I want more than a 3" loaf of bread. But some people keep taking from and growing the starter and it lasts for years. As a Virgo I know this is ok but it sort of creeps me out. That said, congrats on growing the slime that will one day envelope TX.
