This starter was created in March 2018 to honor my father's 80th birthday. It is named after him. I used the process outlined in Teresa Greenway's eBook "Make Your Own Sourdough Starter from Scratch." I used local tap water, purified with a Brita water filter. I used King Arthur All-Purpose Unbleached Flour. ************************ Day 1: Mix 60g of flour with 60g of water. Cover.
