Hello from AZ! Bread beginner looking for sourdough tips
Hi all! I'm Oonagh from Tempe, AZ, and like a lot of people, I'm at home a lot and getting into bread! I have a 1-year-old daughter, so bread making is a great bake I can do since it doesn't require a ton of hands-on time, I can make some good stuff without fending off a toddler lol.
I made the leap from focaccia to sourdough and I think I may have bitten off more than I can chew. My starter is not ... going the way I want. I've been feeding it for four days now, 25g whole wheat, 25g AP and 50g water each morning, but I'm not seeing the bubbles I want and it smells EXTREMELY sour in the mornings when I go to re-feed.
Should I feed 2x per day to get it going? Start discarding half? Would love tips from the pros here, and looking forward to digging into the forums :)
