Did you use packet yeast for the starter, or did you grow an ambient yeast sourdough starter?
Grew my own.
Its great isnt it? Weve had one going for a couple years now. Its the best. I make a dough ball every 4 days or so, and pull pieces off to make fresh flatbread in a pan, or bake a small loaf. Haven’t bought bread in a long time 🍞❤️
