Day Three is super exciting. Probably the best day of the whole process.
Ha ha ha.
Today there should be a bit of rise on the dough, about 50% or so. I saw about a 1 cup increase in volume, so mine is about right on. Today, I discarded half of my starter (well, actually I split it into a second container for a friend) and fed it with the same ingredients as yesterday - 1 cup bread flour, 1/2 cup room temperature water. Mix thoroughly and re-cover with plastic wrap, set out for 24 hours.
Don't worry, this day is not a glitch in the matrix...
Tomorrow, assuming there is a good enough rise (at least doubled) I get to turn my seed into a barm, which is sort of like the sourdough equivalent of pre-med.
Happy Baking!
Join me on my journey to learn and hopefully master every kind of bread in the world!
