In reply to Erica.

It should have risen by now. By the 8th hour, the size should double. Even if it doesn’t you can still bake it. The bread might not be as tasty and fluffy but it will be fine to eat. For next time I would suggest you try different flour and use filtered water. Check out photos shared by our community members: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/741897738592904207/. As you can see they all followed the same recipe but the results are slightly different.

In reply to Erica. Since it has been bubbling I would definitely use it to make bread.

In reply to Erica. Hello Erica, that's unusual. Has the color or smell changed? Are you still keeping it at room temperature? You can also increase the feed interval to every 12 hours. Let me know how you go.

Hello,
So on day 3 of growing my sour dough starter it rose a lot had bubbles and everything I was so happy and excited… then everyday after that it hasn’t risen that much and doesn’t have as many bubbles..like it did the first 3 days… is this normal or did I do something wrong? I think I’m on like day 5 or 6

In reply to Diane. Hello Diane, oh that's disappointing :-(. Are you keeping your starter on the room temperature? Can you try feeding it twice a day? Let me know how you go.

Hello, I wrote earlier because I was trying a sourdough starter with almond flour. It was actually a little bubbly, but wasn’t doing much, so I dumped it and chose to try your “recipe” for a starter. I am on my fifth day and this supposed started is doing absolutely nothing. It does have the hooch on top every day, but the mixture itself has no bubbles and doesn’t even smell like anything other than flour. I can’t imagine what I could possibly be doing wrong–all I have to do is dump.half every day and feed it again! I’m even using bottled water. I’m feeling like I should have kept my almond flour starter; it was doing better than what I have now! Any ideas? Thanks
