Bread Making 101 - revisited
Well, back to the drawing board. I started a new starter tonite - 2 tablespoons of King Arthur Premium 100% Whole Wheat Flour mixed with 2 tablespoons of 100% premium tap water. After I mixed it up, it kind of reminded me of baby poop.
From what I read, it might start to smell that way too. It seems some bacteria gets going first, and the dies out after it has lowered the pH of the starter. If it gets too bad, I will toss it and buy the pineapple juice. I will try to get some pictures of this process.
