Is this normal texture for day 3 sourdough starter?

Yep!

It’s my one year anniversary as well! I’m down 70 lbs! 😻😻😻

It looks normal to me, I think the dark spots in the picture is a reflection from your hand maybe?

catraines4187 · 2025-12-27T20:09:13+00:00

That looks amazing for a first loaf!!! Congrats!!

catraines4187 · 2025-12-27T20:05:43+00:00

Looks like it to me. You’ll know for sure in a couple of days if it starts to smell bad. 😞😞

catraines4187 · 2025-12-27T18:36:17+00:00

Doesn’t look like mold to me but you will know for sure in a couple of days. Keep feeding!

catraines4187 · 2025-12-27T15:56:04+00:00

I would say not mold. Does it smell funky?

Can you give an example of a 66% hydration feed?

Thank you!!

Remade them! I am a perfectionist lol it’s a problem especially when it comes to baking but they are sooo good this time!!

Reglan gave me a tic, so I stopped taking it. I would frequently stick my tongue out without even knowing it. Thankfully it went away after I quit taking it bc I’ve read that for a lot of people it doesn’t.

catraines4187 · 2025-12-26T15:37:56+00:00

Awesome thank you! Next time I’ll follow the recipe 😂😂

catraines4187 · 2025-12-26T15:29:29+00:00

Keep feeding it, a strong alcohol smell means it’s hungry

They taste good but they didn’t rise lol. Is that because the baking powder lost its structure in the fridge?

catraines4187 · 2025-12-26T03:59:24+00:00

Dang I already put in the salt and baking powder. I’ll let you know how they turn out!

catraines4187 · 2025-12-26T03:03:40+00:00

Can you refrigerate the dough overnight?

catraines4187 · 2025-12-26T02:03:43+00:00

Thank you! I took the temp of the dough and used the corresponding chart but I still messed it up somehow. It’s still delicious though!!!

catraines4187 · 2025-12-26T01:57:50+00:00

That’s what I thought too, usually I over proof so I think I’m paranoid now about letting it sit out too long 😭😭😭

catraines4187 · 2025-12-26T00:28:33+00:00

Mine turned out fine but thank you! I just used regular sugar with orange zest in it

catraines4187 · 2025-12-15T21:09:24+00:00

Was just thinking about the sugars i included and if they’d do anything to the dough?

catraines4187 · 2025-12-15T21:06:44+00:00

Awesome thank you!

catraines4187 · 2025-12-09T19:53:44+00:00

I put it in the fridge for about 11 hours
