I got lazy yesterday and didn’t make time to post my photos from day 2 of making my sourdough starter.  This one will be a quick and easy entry.

To be honest, when I looked at the starter from day 1, I thought it was ruined.  It looked dried up and greenish brown.  I added another 2 tablespoons of both whole wheat flour and water, though, and it mixed pretty easily.

After day 2, the starter is looking better.  It’s wetter and ddn’t take much to get it mixed up with more flour and water.  I’m guessing that it will take a few more days before I see much change.

When adding the flour and water for day 3, I wanted to see what type of odor was being produced, as it will be a bit sour when it’s where it should be.  It smelled pretty much like flour and water to me, though, at this point.
