I am s excited. I put my starter ouside a few days ago and just remembered it and it is bubbling. I have brought it inside and will feed it as soon as the water cools. I have boiling waer on tap.

I do not have a large glass jar. Can you believe that?  I thik I have better buy one as the pickle jar is full of pickles and I don't fancy eating all of them to get the jar!

This is like growing A PET.

Good work,  Brenda and Gert.   Marina's PET is called Ral.   !!!

Leave on the bench and feed it daily,  until it is big enough to make a loaf.  You can start to add 1/2 a cup at a time , of water and flour.  You need 400 GS for the recipe here.


I am going away for a week,  but will try to keep in touch.  Have fun.

Gert,  if you don't want to make a loaf,  make waffles or pancakes.  If not hand it on with instructions.  Not everyone can grow a starter.  You are very clever.  ;D

No Gert,  I will be keeping an eye on you from afar.  go for it when you have about 500 g of starter.

Well we learn a lot from each other and how,the climate plus the temp in the house makes a difference.


I put  the jar on the BBq and forgot about it because  I could not see it. We must have a lot of feral yeast  up here!

BTW  Coles in not stocking Laukes yeast any more , only some yeast in small packets.  Must try Woolies and stock up. Lots of brands  going from Coles.

I'll take a pic of  my starter tomorrow in case  I kill it.

Thanks chookie.
