Your starter is probably fine.
And on the night she isn't, you'll know what to do about it.
Bless Your Loaf keeps track of her, tells you when she's hungry, and answers the questions you'd otherwise be googling at eleven at night with flour on your phone.
No ads. Not now, not ever.
It's the gray liquid, isn't it.
Or the smell. Or the fact that she rose beautifully on Tuesday and has done nothing since.
Sourdough isn't hard. It's quiet. She doesn't tell you what's wrong, and every answer online is buried under somebody's vacation photos and four ads for meal kits. So you guess, and when the guess doesn't work you decide you're not a sourdough person after all.
Most people don't quit sourdough because the bread was bad. They quit because the jar confused them and nobody was around to ask.
