This is for those of you who are thinking " What the %^&* is a starter? I have no clue what this girl is talking about."
A sourdough starter is used to leaven bread without any commercial yeast products. (leaven= raise) A starter is made by combining flour and water and letting the wild yeasts grow. They need a lot of care and a healthy environment to grow properly. It must be fed daily or twice daily by removing part of the starter and adding flour and water. When your starter is doubling after a feeding you can then use it to make bread.
Essentially they are like pets, you have to feed them, water them, and give them proper shelter so they will survive.
