feeling starter envy!
After looking at several other blogs showing amazing sourdough results, I'm feeling really envious! My starter experiment is dying a slow, horrible death. (If figures that the 3 other starters I have took off in no time at all, but the one I share with everyone tanks!!) I fed the starters again trying a reduced amount of flour and water to see if anything will change. If not, I'm going to toss both of them and start over.
I did have a bit of success with my original starter, Boris, this weekend. I was able to get a batch of English muffins and a couple of loaves of bread baked on Saturday. I still can't get big open holes in the muffins, but the crumb on the bread was pretty good.
