Sourdough bread is so yummy, but it can be a bit daunting to make if you haven't made it before. I have wanted for a while to have a good sourdough starter, and this past Christmas, I was gifted one. A friend had a starter that his family had kept going for several years (yes, years!), and he gave some of it to me and my husband. I have used it several times now and divided it twice so I always have bread on hand. It makes the most fabulously-soft bread and is now my go-to sandwich bread.
Rather than re-type the directions, I will direct you to a website that has nearly-identical directions to those my friend gave me. This site has the directions also to begin your starter, as well as feeding directions and how to make the bread. One difference I will point out is that it works better to feed every 2-3 weeks rather than every 3-5 days.
I've included below pictures of my starter and the bread I made with it today.
