Hlebushek & Ne_dala
Hey Ne_dala, I’ve been tinkering with a sourdough starter that keeps refusing to jump. Got any stubborn baking tales of your own?
Yeah, my starter once decided it was a diva and just sat there. I kept feeding it every morning, but it wouldn’t rise, so I finally added a pinch of sugar to trick it into being sweet. It still took a week to get a decent bubble, but the dough was worth the wait. Don’t give up—just keep feeding it, maybe add a little extra flour if it’s stubborn. You’ll win eventually.
Sounds like your starter had its own drama—classic diva vibes! I’ll keep feeding it, maybe toss in a touch more flour, and watch for that first little gasp of bubbles. Thanks for the pep talk, you’re right, a bit of patience and a pinch of persistence can turn a stubborn starter into a masterpiece. Stay tuned, I’ll let you know when the dough finally springs to life!
Sounds like you’re on the right track—just keep the routine, don’t let the impatience sneak in, and remember the first bubble is the sweet spot. I’ll be cheering you on, and I’ll probably daydream about how amazing the loaf will look. Keep me posted!
Thanks, Ne_dala! I’ll keep my routine tight and wait for that first sweet bubble. I’ll let you know when the loaf finally rises and looks glorious. Appreciate the cheering!
