People who name their starters -
I've wondered about them, but now I have my first. Wow - in 5 days it went from a doughy clump smelling like orange juice to this wonderful, yeasty, rich-smelling beauty. It's bubbling and growing.
Thanks to SourdoLady (link below)
But I got so absorbed in making and nurturing this starter, I'm not exactly prepared for baking with it. Can anyone recommend a good "first starter" recipe that will wow my husband sufficiently to perhaps make him understand my babying this gurgling mass in my Pyrex measuring cup??
Any suggestions welcomed.
