Funny thing is, while at the store the other day, I was not the one who picked up the starter packet…it was Tool Lady! So, we brought it home and started it up! Silly me, I thought it would all grow to fit in the nice tall glass jar I put it in. I knew it would grow, but didn’t know it would grow to three times it’s original size within a 24 hour period!!!
This morning it looked just fine…lots of head space. This evening, however, was a different story.
I came home to find a monster in my pantry! Amazing! One day of feeding and it explodes!
Well, my starter is now in a bowl for the evening. All wrapped up and ready for bed. Sitting on a plate on a shelf in the pantry, just in case it decides to try to escape again.
The instructions say to feed it once a day for a week, then it will be ready for using to make actual bread. I wonder how much more it will grow?!
Regardless of how much space it decides to take up in the end, I can hardly wait for the bread that will be born of this monster!!! 😉
