Just tried my first sourdough starter and failed miserably. The starter was rising like a phoenix for the first few days, was beginning to have a nice yeasty smell, and then after a feeding the whole thing died. I can’t seem to revive it. I tried making a loaf of bread to see what would happen, couldn’t get it to bubble in the proofing phase, and would not rise. Ended up like a brick. Any suggestions?

Well this is a late response to your post on sourdough but I thought I would say “Thanks”. I have summer off this year (every three years need it or not) and have devoted myself to becoming a kitchen goddess. One sub-goal has been to try new bread recipes, and in the process I have discovered many bread blogs. however you move into the arcane realms of sourdough and levels of saturation and seed vs sourdough vs barm and NOBODY puts up recipes (unless they are formulae that failed) and EVERYBODY seems to want you to buy their faffing cookbooks instead of just delivering simple information…
Ah. I feel better already. I am trying your simple simple simple approach to sourdough and here on Day 2 of a hot Vancouver summer, I already have Bubbles. Let’s see what explodes by Day 4–and who knows, maybe it will be cool enough to bake bread. Or make pancakes. Or…bake those choc chip cookies now in the freezer…
happy summer!

I cannot keep my starter going. It is not bubbly and the bread does not rise as much as it should. I have been on and off with sourdough bread starters for over 15 years. For some reason, I cannot keep my starter going. Can you help?
