Thank you, for being very real! This is so doable for me. Although I’ve made regular bread from scratch, my sourdough journey has just begun. I was excited to watch these easy steps as I was making it with you! As for the stains, every once in awhile I will soak stained things in Ivory dish soap overnight. Thank you again! 😃 Praise the Lord🙌🏻
This is good advice. Best way to learn is just to do it. Trying to keep to a set of rules is good for starting out getting into a process, and then to figure out what to adjust if you are having a problem, but yes once you've gotten it to work once or twice it is definitely better to develop a feel for when things are right. And in fact, just like everyone's starter is unique, every time you bake your kitchen environment is unique (unless you would have the benefit of a professional setup). Temperature changes, humidity, etc... so sometimes following the same steps exactly next time doesn't get the same results anyway so being able to assess when you need to adjust makes more consistent bread. When you get going sourdough is actually really forgiving. It's pretty hard to get something unusable.
One thing about measuring is that it's consistent. So when you get a great loaf, you'll know what and how much you put in, so that you can repeat the great results.
Not yet, but soon. Because it takes so many days to fully start a starter , I'm hoping to finish in the next week or two! It'll show the daily progress of the starter and what needs to be done each day :)
Sorry for a late reply! I don't really count, I just do it when I walk through the kitchen until it's about time for bed, then I put it in the fridge to proof
