I nursed on this starter for a week and then tried it with Becky's Sourdough I recipe. It worked great!

this was the first starter i tried to make and it was very easy to make and take care of! i took the advice of a couple of reviews and "feed" the starter 1/3 cup flour and 1/3 water and added 1tsp. of corn syrup everyday for 4 days and kept it in the oven with the light on.

I have tried multiple sourdough starters and this is the first one that actually worked for me! I started it on Monday and yesterday (Thursday) I mixed up my first loaf of bread. I let it rise overnight, then baked it this morning for our breakfast. It was SO good! I can't wait until the starter develops a little more so it has even more of that delicious tangy flavor!

This is a very forgiving starter. Mine is several weeks old,keeps improving and keeps going even when I forget to feed it. I kept it in the kitchen when I first made it and have moved it to the refrigerator as I have plenty. I do use as pintch of sugar every time I feed it as this helps with fermentation.

I had a little trouble with my first starter, so I threw it out and started another. They can be a little frustrating until you get the hang of it. My house was extremely warm and my starter was ready in 4 days to go into the fridge... I stirred it everyday and then fed it when I put it into the fridge. I've baked with my sourdough starter 3 times now...It's about a week 1/2 old. 1st loaf didn't work! 2nd and 3rd loaf was awsome... I used the recipe here on AR for bread machine "Plain and Simple Sourough Bread"... Have fun!

My boyfriend loves sour sough bread so I thought I would make this. I turned out great! I live in the mountains and was afraid my house was too cold, but it turned out ok. I just made 2 loaves on the San Francisco Sourdough. It was awsesome!! I didn't need to feed it throughout the week and I would think this would hinder the fermenting and sour taste. I didn't touch mine except to move it around warmer places in the house.

I'm having trouble with this one. The first time I think I let it sit too long (about 5-6 days) and it developed a funny color and was not bubbly (it only bubbled the first day). The second time I only let it sit for 2 days and put it in the fridge as soon as it was bubbly. I used it in the San Francisco Sourdough and while the bread baked fine it had NO sourdough flavor. So I fed the starter and have been letting it sit but again it's lost it's bubble after the first day and is starting to develop a funny brownish color (not pink or orange). Should I throw it out or try to use it?? Any suggestions? Perhaps I should find a different recipe.
