Elsie White starter.

Elsie White doesn't seem to be quite as active as her sister Elsie Brown, but she still managed to produce two panned loaves, albeit a bit on the small side, but with good flavour, not too sour, and good texture.  I added some skim milk powder, oil, and sugar, no dry yeast at all, and she took hours and hours to rise in the bowl, and I probably could have given her longer in the pans, but the hour was getting late and I don't exactly keep bakers' hours, so into the oven they went.  I could tell by a little tearing on the side of one of the loaves that, had I been able to let them rise a bit longer, there would have been much greater oven spring, but they taste good and make super toast.
