My current starter died. After a few recovery feedings it still doesn't seem to be bouncing back.
Time to break out the emergency dehydrated/frozen starter to give it a jump!

Meet Ivar! He was scrapped when we moved to this new appartment before Christmas. But after a few months of baking with regular yeast both me and the rest of the family is begging for sourdough bread again. So, Ivar has been resurrected! He needs a few days to grow big and strong but by this time next week, we'll hopefully be snacking on sourdough bread fresh out of the oven!

Dear #lazyweb #lazymastodon I bought my wife a #sourdough baking set. I now need to get a #sourdoughstarter.

Anybody know where I can get one near #oakpark #Illinois (#Chicago)?

(Besides, obviously conjuring one out of thin air!)

Feeding the neglected sourdough starters! They've been calling to me from the fridge and all got a carefully orchestrated snack of their favourite flour. Carefully, as I try to avoid cross contamination. (But may well happen regardless, sharing a house).

The lttle one is as yet unnamed. I've been pushing him along for almost two years. Keep meaning to chuck it but it keeps on going. Might need a name at some point.

Sometime this spring Quasimodough turned 5 (Yes, he's a #Covid baby). He's as bubbly as ever and still makes happy bread... although, like the #ShipOfTheseus, there's not much left of his original components.

The #SourdoughStarter I split for my grandson doubled by this morning. I fed it at 7:00 pm last night.
He’s coming to get it tomorrow.

He will be VERY lucky if I don’t take some tonight when I get home and feed it, then feed *his* and make a loaf of bread in the morning!

It won’t have over proofed and fallen because I had my son take it out of the proofing bag and put it on the counter to slow down.

It looked so nice around noon.
