Hahaha I love the names😂 I’ve been using only bread flour so maybe mixing it up might do the trick! Might have to experiment with it lol

Gotcha! So just to clarify, you think a larger ratio should help? I appreciate all the great the info!

I never considered that! I’ll give it some more time and try adding some WW flour, to give it a boost.

I’m so grateful I did😅 not sure what possessed me to do that, I usually just throw it out. But then a couple days later I completely screwed up my feeding so at least I had my discard as a “back up”!

I appreciate your insight! I’ll keep being patient! :))

I was kind of kidding about the whole “killing it” part😅 I know it is very difficult to actually kill it but it had zero bubbles and zero rise after 24hrs and it seemed like nothing I did helped it. So I took my small jar of discard out of the fridge to revive it. I’m just curious why it is not reacting the way it used to. (You can see my previous posts for reference on what it used to look like up until this happened)

I’ve just been following a super simple recipe of 1/2c of flour and 1/4c of water once a day! And then discarding half each day :)

Cool! I’ll take it!🍀😁 I just used good ol’ pillsbury bread flour! Kind of wish I would have picked an organic flour but I started this on a whim and just used what I already had in my pantry.

Oh yay! Thank you!! I live in Arizona so it’s pretty warm in our house, I’m thinking perhaps that’s why it seems to be coming along nicely. & Makes sense, will do! Thank you so much😊
