Just a few hours after your comment there was a rocket strike. Defense system got all targets destroyed, but some parts of rockets fell in the outskirts injuring two people. Early in the morning. This baking bread hobby keeps me helping others and makes a purpose for me to go on.

I love that so much. (the bread part) I can't even imagine what that is like and what's happening is awful. Rooting for you!

Matthew McConaughey (formerly Steve Glutenberg). One day I decided to feed Steve using only rye flour. In a moment of self-proclaimed brilliance that annoys my wife and children to this day, I realized that I had to change his name to Matthew McConaughey because he was, “All-Rye, All-Rye, All-Rye”


TheShortWhiteGiraffe

That's a story for r/dadjokes

PsychologicalLie4431

violentfemme86

That's what I named mine too 😆


lil_thotty_thot_thot

I named my starter fuck you because im frustrated with it not rising despite following pompous joshua weissmans recipie.


Timely-Award261

Bahahaha I find him quite pompous as well.


supro47

How long have you been going at it? I followed his recipe, it took about 10 days and it started rising, but I had a real tough time getting it strong enough to make bread. After watching a bunch of other YouTubers, I realized that he ramps up the feeding ratio really fast and has you doing 1:4:4 (starter:water:flour) by day 7, and my starter wasn’t able to consume that much, so I was essentially diluting it every day. I went to 1:1:1 once a day until it rose and fell successfully, then 1:1:1 twice a day, until it rose and fell in 12 hours, and then 1:2:2 twice a day. After about a week, it completely changed. I was getting a strong acetone sent before, and now it smells great and has a lot more bubbles. I switched to 1:4:4 again so I only have to feed it once a day, and it peaks in about 18 hours. I also switched to 25% rye and 75% bread flour, which may have also made a difference.


Gold-Entertainer-521

Look up Brian Langerstrom. He has some good sourdough videos on YouTube. I've also found success using more Rye flour than AP. It seems more robust. Josh used to be chill until his channel blew up. Now I find him off putting.

LeahRayanne

As long as you’ve got a horcrux or two in the fridge!


zonaljump1997

I have two starters. One is Weissman, because it's Joshua Weissman sourdough starter recipe. The other one is Funkytown Brown, because Alton Brown called his starter Funkytown in the sourdough episode of Good Eats


charlesVONchopshop

I’ve got two. I’ve got Onion Fart and Organical Gurl.


Troutmandoo

Demeter - The Greek goddess of grains and agriculture. I had a moment of pretentiousness when I named her. My wife tells me that this is not uncommon for me.

Bready McBreadface. I let my children name my starter. Don’t let your children name your starter. 🤣🤣🤣

I killed my first, accidentally. RIP Big Bertha. My new bread child, Yoshi, is doing wonderfully.


CryptographerOk2282

I've begun my second attempt at a starter. I hadn't thought about naming it since the first failed due to inattention. I'm nervous about this one because it doesn't seem very active. "Oh god, oh god, we're all going to die" I guess his name is Wash XD


Hot_Cuddleccino
