@brynn_ann: Stages of a Sourdough Starter 🫧 False Rise: Can happen at the very beginning. Your starter can double or triple and it’s the bacteria reacting. 🤫 The Quiet Days: After a false rise, your starter can go through a phase where it seems like nothing is happening (no rise, fall or bubbles). This is totally normal! Just keep your starter somewhere warm and keep feeding it daily. #sourdough #sourdoughstarter #sourdoughtok #sourdoughbread #sourdoughforbeginners
Thank you I needed to hear this! Day 8, one is gf and the other is just Italian flour. Actually my gf one seems happier. The regular one smells like nail polish remover which ive been told means its super hungry with the ph being acidic. Finger 🤞🏻

Any chance you could do a video on how to make a looser crumb, and how to make your sourdough taste more tangy? I’d really appreciate any tips.

Mine is bubbling but still won’t rise much or pass a float test. I was going to pour her all out and quit. You encouraged me to feed her again

This video reached me at exactly the right moment. Thank you so much. I prepared my liquid sourdough starter last week. After three days of steady growth with feedings every 24 hours, I switched to 12-hour feedings (as the recipe I was following required). Now it seems like nothing is happening — just a few small bubbles on the surface. Fingers crossed… I’d really love to make some panettoni

The quiet faze nearly killed me. I thought it just wasn’t meant for me to do a side quest like this. She had so many bubbles and webbing today. Hasn’t fully doubled in size just yet, but I’m so excited

I am restarting my starter, it has been doubling in size since day 3 and currently on day 5 and it’s tripled in size. Is this a false rise?

Help me…. I’m on week 3, I just switched to 50/50 rye and unbleached bread flour(king Arthur’s). I’ve done all these things and it smells like play dough, sometimes a little sweet. Doing NOTHING. Small bubbles. I’m about to quit this far along.
