Your Baby is Getting So Big…
It’s Day #3 of growing your
Sourdough Starter Baby
How’s she doing?
Are you a proud parent?
I bet you are
Can you believe you are creating a life
Without having sex?
Is it immaculate?
Too far?
By today you might start to see some bubbles on the surface
That is awesome if you do
But if you don’t,
That’s okay too
Give it time
Great things take time
Take patience
And maybe a little extra wine for Mom and Dad
Remember how I said
Groundhog Day?...
Well,
Taa Daa
Let’s do it again, tonight
Or this morning
Whenever you started
It’s all good
Day 3 Sourdough Starter
Mix 1/3c warm water (see Day #1 notes on water)
With ½ c bread flour
And mix until it’s paste-like
There might be some lumps, that’s okay, but nothing too big
Cover with your kitchen towel
And set someplace safe
Away from all your kitchen chemicals
Side Note:
Growing your starter takes tons of patience
It’s not a perfect science
There are soooooo many factors that go into it
Temperature
Environment
Air quality
Water quality
Flour quality
Voodoo
Sometimes it happens fast
And sometimes it seems to take forever
But you will get there
I promise
A note about temperature…
The perfect temp is around 70 degrees
If your house is colder
Things go slower
If it is warmer
Things so faster
Until tomorrow!
