The sourdough starter.  Yum.

Well, not the starter itself- rather, what you can do with such a starter.  This one is in its third day.  They are usually ready after day 4 and this one looks to be right on schedule.  Including the lovely smell of fermenting apples or fruit.

This one started life as 2 parts water, 1 part rye flour, 1 part white flour.  No yeast.  They just seem to invite themselves after a day or so.  The rye flour is supposed to be good for developing yeast.  After a day, I add 1 part white flour and 1 part water.  Did the same thing tonight. I’ll do it again tomorrow.  And the next day, I’ll bake.

But that will be another post.
