The starter consists of:
3 cups flour
1/2 tsp active dry yeast
1 1/3 cups warm water
I mixed and beat these ingredients for 3 minutes. Put in the refrigerator to rise for 15 to 24 hrs. It's been more than 24 hrs. Instructions say starter should triple in volume and have small bubbles on the surface. Mine has barely risen by half and bubbles do appear but on the side of the clear bowl. I tested the yeast by proofing a little in a bowl with water and sugar. Nice and foamy after a few minutes so the yeast is definitely good. What do you think? Should I go ahead with the recipe? Thanks for any advice.
