Are you interested in sourdough baking but don't know where to start? Start with Starter. "Starter" is flour and water and naturally occurring wild yeast (lactobacillus) from the environment. If you are starting a Starter from scratch, it can take several weeks to build up enough of the wild yeast and other beneficial bacterias needed to properly ferment a loaf of bread. This starter is maintained daily, and I guarantee it's success (with proper maintenance, a "how to guide" will be provided) with your portion of Josephine.
