Characteristics
I am still learning how to use sourdough. This is my first starter and I don't really know how to make bread, I use it to make pancakes, tortillas english muffins etc. My favorite thing to make is pancakes. They are so much more tender and delicious than even usual scratch pancakes. They also tend to have more flavor and can be eaten on their own, or with a little fruit so you don't need syrup

Working method

My first attempt did not go well, so I used tried and true directions I found online. This time it worked much better and was able to see progress much sooner. I started with a 50:50 blend of rye and whole wheat flour. I started with 40 grams of flour blend and 40 grams of water. stir vigorously and let it stand

Each feeding I discarded all but 40 grams of starter and added 40 grams of flour and 40 grams of water. I fed it daily for a few days, then twice a day for a few days then three times daily for the last few days, I think it took about 1 week total. I got these directions from the website ThePerfectLoaf
