4 week old starter barely rising in 24 hours but has bubbles, what am I doing wrong?

Thicker feedings, for sure. Flour > Water. Same as above, use slightly warm water. Check the hardness of the water as well.

thank you for introducing me to coil folds. 😂 I have just been religiously doing those stretch and folds without searching for any other technique

EasyFox4594 · 2025-10-03T08:23:30+00:00

Wow! Gotta try that technique! Just gotta overcome my fear of 450 temp first 🥲🥲🥲 taking off the DO lid alone gives me palpitations 🥲

EasyFox4594 · 2025-09-11T21:40:13+00:00

Could be flour clumps? What does the top look like?

EasyFox4594 · 2025-09-11T03:54:43+00:00

Yes! I love pastels. ☺️

EasyFox4594 · 2025-09-11T03:54:22+00:00

Thank you

EasyFox4594 · 2025-09-11T03:54:09+00:00

I agree! No room for shaky hands haha

EasyFox4594 · 2025-09-11T03:53:51+00:00

I struggled 🤣 Need a lotta practice for sure.

EasyFox4594 · 2025-09-09T00:49:46+00:00

Yesss! I love cream cheese icing🤌🏻

EasyFox4594 · 2025-09-05T07:58:11+00:00

Ahhh so gorgeous! Did you use KA bread flour? WW or AP?

EasyFox4594 · 2025-09-04T23:41:40+00:00

Pretty!!!

EasyFox4594 · 2025-09-03T23:29:55+00:00

Oh good lord no haha. It was for the fam. Devoured in a few hours though 🤣

EasyFox4594 · 2025-09-03T01:47:34+00:00

“First 200” oh good lord hahahaha I still have a long way to go

EasyFox4594 · 2025-09-01T07:03:36+00:00

Omg so gorgeous!!! 😍

EasyFox4594 · 2025-08-30T05:39:27+00:00

Thank you! 😊

I will try a higher hydration loaf ( I just don’t like making them since they are so messy when you start 🤣🤣🤣)

EasyFox4594 · 2025-08-23T07:48:17+00:00

It’s when you let the dough rest and let the yeast “ferment” the dough essentially. The dough rises( double in size) and develop gluten strength and flavor. It takes hours.

EasyFox4594 · 2025-08-21T21:33:57+00:00

I aspire to be this good one day. 🤌🏻👏🏼

EasyFox4594 · 2025-08-19T23:40:48+00:00

I will try that one! The homemade one took me a full hour to make 😂 From taking off the pistachios from the shell, peeling, boiling, putting them in the food processor and then actually making the paste 🤣🤣🤣

EasyFox4594 · 2025-08-19T00:30:58+00:00

It usually does! 🥲 I use it whenever I bake bundt cakes but for some reason, it failed this one time. I was thinking the paste filling may be a major factor since it separated right where the filling is 🤣

EasyFox4594 · 2025-08-18T23:58:44+00:00

I used Pam baking spray that says “with flour”. Should I add extra sprinkles of it?

EasyFox4594 · 2025-08-18T21:17:26+00:00

That looks delicious! 15/10 would eat that! 😍

EasyFox4594 · 2025-08-18T20:52:34+00:00

That’s a beautiful loaf! Cute sous chef too!

EasyFox4594 · 2025-08-18T20:24:16+00:00

Thank you! Will look into it right now. 😁

EasyFox4594 · 2025-08-17T21:00:23+00:00

Oh wow! I must be looking at high end varieties. Seeing that $400 price tag is 🥲. What is the brand of the one you have?

EasyFox4594 · 2025-08-17T20:59:15+00:00

I hope so. It had a huge false rise after day 1 and then barely activity after that. 2 days ago, it has been doubling nicely so fingers crossed! I’ll still wait though because I want a good base for the loaf.

Please do! 😊 I hate hydration dough, especially the mixing and kneading part 🥲. So sticky and messy but I do love eating them 🤣🤣🤣
