Checking on my starters
I have a couple of starters going. I started with a white AP flour that had a false rise at 4 days and then has been dormant since then about 2 weeks. I started a whole wheat one 8 days ago and it doubled and peaked at about the 12 hour mark yesterday, it had a small rise the day before also. I have been mixing a small portion of the whole wheat starter into the white to try and get it going since it seems to be slow going. It did grow a little over night 🥳
My plan is to feed the whole wheat every ~12 hours now. And will do the same with the white flour starter when it gets more alive.
How long til I can bake? It has to double or triple in 4 hours? Or something like that?
Any other tips or additions if im missing something?
I cant wait!
