I'm a food blogger with big love in doughs! My first doughs for bread were with dry yeast, then with fresh yeast and then came sourdough! Now for my breads I only use sourdough, for other types of dough I mostly use yeast. I have 2 sourdough starters, one usual with regular water and flour and the 2nd with raisin water and flour (fruity and wonderful).
Characteristics
My sourdough is one year old and I love it! I made it out of curiocity and I'm addicted to it since then. It took me many steps to finally get it to a level that I understand what it needs, how to feed it, how long to ferment, to know when its ready for baking etc. It's an alive and fully active sourdough!!

And 3 tbsp of flour. For the next 24h I stir it for 2-3 times. After the first 24h I feeded it again with 2tbsp water and 3tbsp of flour. Following the same process every 24h for about 5 days, feeding it and stirring it 2-3 times each day, till I saw the first bubbles. The smell was a bit sour. Every since its in the fridge, feeding it each time before use.
