hi betsy – i was out of stock for the last month but just tonight more went live on my page. you will find it under the “products” tab. please include your shipping address if you purchase. thanks!

if you keep it in the fridge and feed it more frequently that can help with the tang. and always pour liquid off instead of stirring it back in.

Have you tried my whole wheat waffle recipe? It’s not that sour. Or the chocolate chip cookie bars . . the lemon sourdough bundt cake is my favorite and no one would ever be able to tell! Those are things I use up my excess starter in. Where did you get your starter from? Some are a lot more sour than others — there are over 1,000 strains of wild yeast and if you get a sour one in your starter, it’s no good (unless you like that, of course). Mine is really mild and even in my bread I hardly notice it, unless I haven’t fed it often before making bread. Hope that helps!

Isn’t it crazy how they can change so quickly? The weather definitely has an effect on mine! I always keep two on hand as well and if one seems a little off I use it up for waffles and split the healthy one.

Thank you so much for your feedback — the challah is our favorite too. I really appreciate the comment!
