My big adventure in sourdough today … is cleaning out my sourdough jar.
I haven’t been baking much (work, diet, travel) and haven’t been consistent in feeding my starter in the fridge. So the starter has been a little… sad? Plus the jar has been getting crusty over the past year. I figured it was time for a fresh start.
I dumped some out cause I had too much, and then put some in a fresh mason jar with healthy dumping of flour and water to perk it up. And then another bit, I set aside in a smaller jar to be starter for some apple pie focaccia bread (part 2 of adventure!) later today.
And then I threw out what was remaining, and now am leaving the jar to dry out, so easier to flake stuff off.

I have ambitions for baking three loaves at the end of the week, so I will be feeding my starter to make it stronger.
