I scraped as much as I could off before feeding it, but then when I went to make bread, it didn't rise at all (left it overnight). What am I doing wrong?

It tasted kinda like it smelled. lol Is that the "sour". This is much different tasting than the store bought sourdoughs. So as I feed my starter I should have less water for a less sour? Thank you for the step by step instructions! They are great! One suggestion, link to the day before and the next day on the post. I made bread today.

This is exactly what I would have recommended. Sounds like you’re doing it right, with removing the white layer and continuing the process. This is exactly what I would have recommended.

The last two days of getting my starter going a thick layer formed on the top. I noticed a white mark that appeared to be the beginning of mold. Each day I just removed the thick layer and continued as you directed. It was bubbly under the layer and smelled sour like you said. Any tips? Thanks again. Thanks for the great website.

I'll repost about it once I have more of this figured out! I’m in the process now of resurrecting my sourdough starter so that I can become more of a sourdough expert.

My first two, I let quadruple in size the second rise. Consequently, they didn't rise in the oven. I researched and found that after rising so much out of the oven, they didn't have any more "umph!" to rise in the oven. My next batch I paid closer attention to the bread while rising. Once it had doubled, I put it in the oven! They are so delicious! I'm so thankful you provided this tutorial! My great great grandmother would be so proud! Laura, this is great! :)

I'm not sure exactly why, but I was always told that you should use only glass or stoneware for baking sourdough bread. Also, the bowls you use to mix/rise should also be glass.
