Make Bread With Me, Day 2

Day 2 of Sourdough Starter, April 1
Prep Time: Less than 5 minutes
After sitting out overnight, your starter should look bubbly like this:Up close and personal, it looks like this:

Day 2, Step 1

Stir your starter smooth with a wooden or plastic spoon and then add 1 cup milk (don't measure in a metal cup - use glass or plastic).

Day 2, Step 2

Add 1/2 cup sugar.

Day 2, Step 3

Add 1 cup bread flour (again, all-pupose is okeedokee, Smokey).

Day 2, Step 4

Stir until smooth.
Day 2, Step 5

Cover loosely and place in the fridge (in my case on top of last week's pizza box.)


I don't usually have room in my fridge for this large a bowl so I generally will put it at this stage into a large, tall tupperware type container (like you see the bread flour in at step 3). Rubbermaid pitchers work great. I am lucky enough to have two refrigerators, so for the sake of pretty pictures, I will leave this batch in the bowl for now.


See you back here tomorrow, my sourdough Beauties!

Wow, yum! Can't wait to see the finished product. And I love that you have Doris Day playing.

Thanks! I love Doris! You know you can't go wrong with the classics! But I chose these songs for their lyrical content pertaining to our family. Was that statement too analytical?

You are making this look so easy.
