Hi, all. So I found a recipe for bread-machine sourdough bread starter and an accompanying recipe for the bread itself and decided to try it. Never having made starter before, I wasn't sure how big a container to put it in. I had a couple of empty sauce jars (24 oz.) and put the starter in them, then went to do some stuff on the computer, etc.
Went back to the kitchen a while later and heard a funny sound ... turned around and the starter was leaking from the jars all over the counter! I quickly cleaned out a cookie jar and put the starter in there. It's probably a 2-quart jar. Will that be big enough? The starter was 2 1/2 tsp. yeast, 2 cups flour, 2 1/2 cups water and 1 tbsp. honey.
I'm thinking I should have made half the recipe ...
