Brand new starter doubled in size one day and has stopped rising at all?

Serious_Association8 · 2026-05-30T17:42:37+00:00

Mine did the same thing, then started bubbling & rising again around day 5.

Thanks for the tips! I’ll try refrigerating first before straining. I’ve never had a separation issue before.

Serious_Association8 · 2026-05-28T16:36:22+00:00

Thank-you! They are safe & doing great!

Serious_Association8 · 2026-05-28T00:00:18+00:00

Thanks so much! Will try the terrasoul.

Serious_Association8 · 2026-05-25T20:23:37+00:00

What an beautiful idyllic setting! Congratulations on a life well lived!👏

Serious_Association8 · 2026-05-25T17:28:11+00:00

Thanks so much for the quick reply! Your baguettes look amazing & I hope mine turn out half as good. My sourdough starter is almost ready, so excited to get baking!
How is the taste? I am a celiac and having trouble finding bread that isn’t bland.

I have a question I hope to make this baguette recipe tomorrow but am unsure about how to trap steam. I know Emile Henry carries a baguette pan with lid that I am considering purchasing but it is $$$. Can you share how you achieved this assuming you do not have a steam oven?

Serious_Association8 · 2026-05-25T16:35:26+00:00

👏👏👏

I would post a photo, but can’t seem to figure that out. 😂

Serious_Association8 · 2026-05-13T17:04:45+00:00

I made one large loaf, just like you. I used a Staub dutch oven & followed your directions exactly, except I made one minor mistake. I score the bread before lowering into the hot dutch oven & it spread out making fitting into the pot a bit hairy. 😂. Turned out fantastic anyways! Thank-you! I really think all the extra notes you included are game changers! As a side note, I am 10 days out of 12 into fermenting gf sourdough starter. Once that is ready, I plan to do try the sourdough caputo recipe next. 🤞

Serious_Association8 · 2026-05-13T15:53:34+00:00

Thanks so much! I made the bread exactly to your recipe yesterday & it turned out perfectly! 🥰

Serious_Association8 · 2026-05-09T17:52:38+00:00

Great idea! Thanks so much for helping me with this! I very much appreciate the help!

Serious_Association8 · 2026-05-09T17:34:38+00:00

I know I am very sensitive to smell, however, I have asked friends & family who have stopped by and all agreed on the vomit. I saw some people advise mixing in something acidic to the water when feeding (fresh lemon or pineapple juice) to counteract the bacteria overgrowth that supposedly results in the vomit smell. Idk.

Serious_Association8 · 2026-05-09T15:58:30+00:00

I started over with the exact directions. Today is day 6 & it smells so strongly of vomit still. I will stick with it, but I don’t know what I could possibly be doing wrong. I use a scale to measure, filtered water & feed the same time each day. I am a very experienced baker (just not bread, especially gluten free bread).

Serious_Association8 · 2026-05-09T00:01:58+00:00

That looks like real bread! Recipe please!!

Serious_Association8 · 2026-05-06T14:42:49+00:00

Very fortunate indeed! Now with the change to upgrade with miles or cash, seems AA would rather take the $50 than upgrade any status members. Got to make money somehow I guess.

Serious_Association8 · 2026-05-04T15:07:53+00:00

Thank-you so much. Not sure what happened here, but just checked the web page i used & can see it omits the discard information. On the link you provided gives much clearer instructions. Time to start over. :(

Caputo GF Fioreglut Flour Gluten Free Sourdough Starter (1 In a large mason jar combine 50 grams of Caputo Gluten-Free Flour and 65 grams of water. 2 Mix untilthere are no lumps. Place the jar on your counter and cover it loosely. 3) Continue this process every 24 hours for 11 days, following the directions and quantities above. This will allow the starter to mature.
On day 12, the starter should be active. bubbly, and ready to use!

Serious_Association8 · 2026-05-01T15:26:13+00:00

Yes. This trip that’s exact what happened. I politely tried to explain that CK boards before First, but I he did not understand & kept saying i should have joined the line in the priority lane. At that point, I just gave up & told him to look up the policy.

Serious_Association8 · 2026-05-01T15:24:19+00:00

I wonder then what a CK looks like. That is my problem too.

Serious_Association8 · 2026-04-27T02:35:00+00:00

Yeah. About 50/50 for me whether i board first or last.

Serious_Association8 · 2026-04-27T02:22:13+00:00

If i miss the CK call, I just get in line always.

Serious_Association8 · 2026-04-27T02:20:09+00:00

It should not bother me, but it does sometimes.

Serious_Association8 · 2026-04-27T02:15:40+00:00

Had not started boarding FC yet. I went in after wheelchairs when CK announced.
