I have never baked a bread product in my life, but I am tempted by a sourdough starter hot cross buns kit.

Should I go for it?

@frogglin Yes. What's the worst that can happen?
@fyi My sour dough starter could grow to enormous size and take over the kitchen!

@frogglin Nothing ventured, nothing burnt.

Of course you should! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

@Gnomon It will be an exciting learning experience!
@frogglin Depends. Do you need a new hobby AND a new pet? (My first levain is rising today, so my answer was yes and yes.)

@JoanESheldon I am already emotionally attached to my starter so I think we're okay. It's not here yet.

I need a name.

@frogglin I havenโ€™t come up with a good name for mine yet.
