What happens when you leave the starter languishing on the countertop for, say, 20 days? Okay, other than giving the bag the occasional mash, I was neglectful of duty. (End of school year rush, but that’s another story.) After observing few bubbles but no green/pink floaties on Day 16, I added the milk, sugar & flour. Some (very) mild bubbly activity thereafter, but again, on Day 20, the starter had no green/pink floaties and had passed the odor test. So I proceeded w/ baking. Bread turned out surprisingly delicious (based on family taste tests) though there was, expectantly, not a huge rise. I then softened a package of yeast in ¼ cup warm water, and split this mixture among three bags of baby starter that had been set aside from the original. Happy to report that all babies are alive and bubbling well on Day 2.
