Ok about 2 weeks ago I tried to start a starter for sourdough bread making.... For those of you who don't know what starter is, its basically the natural yeast sour part of making the bread dough. Shawn and I love sourdough bread so I wanted to see if I could possibly try to make the starter.... I looked it up on you tube and it seemed quite simple. For those of you who would like to try it here is a link to where I got my information from. http://www.io.com/~sjohn/sour.htm
This picture was taken today of my 1st attempt at the sourdough starter... This starter didn't work..... Yes Im sad... I didn't quite follow the instructions the first time, misread it..... Ok so 1st attempt was a bust.
This is how we know the 1st attempt was a bust... This is a loaf of bread that didn't rise. Ha ha yes we still tried it and it like a sourdough cookie bread, but not sweet. Shawn likes to toast it and put butter on and he says its quite good. 
Ok so here is my 2nd attempt which looks much better. I started this one yesterday and this is what it looked like 24 hrs later... Yeah I got some growth in there. I fed it today and we will see if I do it correctly this time around. Heres hoping.....
