I'd like to attempt again to make my own sourdough starter.
For those of you who have made your own.How do you store yours?
My first and only attempt didn't go over so well. I managed to get it started alright.No problem there,notta one.The fun stuff began a few hours later when my husband opened up the fridge and stated "Ugh Honey somethings going on in here!".. I dreaded what I might see. The crock I had used was still latched shut,but the dough it's self was seeping out all over and down the sides.I knew it would grow.But not like that!
What did I do wrong?
I used a recipe from the Fleishman's Bread Book.
Used a ceramic country crock with a locking lid.
Placed it in the fridge.
I think the crock was too small for that recipe.
Should I use something else?
New recipe?
Thanks.
Munky.
