I can't get my sourdough starter... Started! I get to a point where I feed it and it gets a bit bubbly but nothing else. It's like a soup. It's weird because the first feedings go so well: it grows, smells great, but after a few days it just kind of dies. I don't want to give up but I even bought a book, followed instructions to the gram and still won't get it right!
PS those baguette look so good!!!
I'm about to start a new starter. I've been working with poolishes so far. That's worked out well but I want more flavor.
I've used mine (although the rising was mediocre) and the flavour was intense, we really like it!
Have you tried adding regular yeast to your dough in addition to the starter to give it the lift you are looking for?
I feel like an idiot. No, I have not! I got so frustrated with the starter not rising that I've been tossing starters that smelled really good. Should I use those dry yeast o the refrigerated ones?
Yep that's what I use.
