7. Update: the going is tough

I set up the starter at 7 am today, have kept it warm all day. I just added a dab of sour cream in an effort to encourage some action.

I am afraid that the ingredients I used might not be conducive to fermentation. But we'll see.

I don't think this is a recipe for people who have an active life. I am retired, and Covid isolating, but I can see passing on this recipe if I had a different kind of life.

I was reading on the King Arthur flour site, and a person said it took 5 tries. Another said her starter took 12 hours to work. So we'll see.

How did I never hear of this? Found this -- might be helpful soothsayer Feb 2021 #1
