In my quest to bake more bread this year I have been reviewing tons of bread recipes from every cookbook I own, in addition to every blog I come across, and of course, my favorite foodie websites (foodandwine.com, foodtv.com). All of these resources have me convinced that I'm missing out big time if I don't attempt the sourdough. So, here is my attempt to start a sourdough - day 1!
The first day is pretty easy! I mixed one cup of flour with one cup of warm water and put it in a jar (I actually mixed it in the jar with a wooden spoon, apparently metal is an enemy to sourdough bacterial cultures). This is what it looks like:
It smells like flour (which should only be the case today). We'll see what happens!
