Uni,  glad you stuck with it.  Great looking loaf.    Don't waste any.  Left overs make great bread crumbs.

VHJ,  make sure the jar is sterile. If you continue to have trouble, I could probably post you some dehydrated starter.  It looks like my experiment is going to work.  I have to make a loaf first,  to make sure.

I sterilised the jar with the sterilising powder from beer brewing days so just think my wild bug was feral  ;D  I will just try again and see what happens but I am also very happy  ;) to trial your dehydrated starter. I really want to get this sour dough happening as I love it and your method of making the loaf is much more flexible and easier to fit into my inflexible life. Thanks Chookie  :-* :-*

I am trialing 2 different methods of reconstituting the starter.  I am looking for the easiest method for most people. I might be able to start  making a loaf tomorrow.  We will see.

My starter has only been going since Tuesday night. It is starting to show a few little bubbles.  I wanted to leave it longer but we are away for a wedding this weekend so I brought it in and gave it a little feed. Hopefully it will be ok until Sunday.
