Great starter recipe. I've used it to make sourdough potato bread, sourdough bread and sourdough pizza, all of which turned out excellent. The longer it sits, the better it gets. Thanks for sharing!

What I like about this starter, is that when you feed it you only give it a tiny bit of sugar. I have found some recipes that call for 1/2 C to a full cup sugar when you feed it. Adding this much sugar makes the bread taste too sweet for me. Thanks!!

This is just great. If you've never made homemade sourdough before, this is the way to go! If you want to add a little flavor to the starter, add a chunk (one you can get out again) of onion, or a couple grapes. Take them out and throw them away when you feed the starter.
