Sourdough starter

Hello there,

it's day 5 fr my starter.

until you see more bubbles. Might take a day or two. When that happens, you can feed it.

Very normal! Leave it alone till it begins to bubble again.

You can also try some rye flour. Apparently it has more yeasties. It was a game-changer for me.
