Pat, there is another thread on the subject of beginning your own starter, and how to take care of it. It is simple with a few guidelines.
You can start with flour and water, some will say 1 cup of each, but I would describe the results to be like thick pancake batter.
Use a very clean bowl, or Tupperware container, and cover the top loosely, and place in a warm spot of your home.
Check on it each day to be sure it isn't drying out. Once you start to smell the change, and see some bubbles forming, you will be on the right track.
You can feed it with a little flour, and just enough water to maintain the thick pancake batter consistency. Depending on the temperature, you might see the change in a few days. I had to put my bowl on top of my DSL modem to get it warm enough to kick off.
Find the other threads on making your first starter and read some of the comments. Many of us had our doubts about what we were doing, and I think that some of the problem is that we are all in different areas of the country, and world. What feels warm to me, would feel hot to some others. The temperature needed to speed the process up, might be a bit warmer than what would be found in some homes, such as mine. We have the A/C for most of the year in Florida. I got my starter going by putting on top of my DSL modem, but now I only keep it in the warmest room in my home. I feed it nearly every day.
I made my first really wonderful sour dough Italian bread last night after coming home from work. I used a recipe from a book a friend told me to buy. It is a wonderful book because it has so much useful information, and is not just a book of recipes. Title "Secrets of a Jewish Baker" by George Greenstein It is a book to keep for a lifetime. I found it for a few dollars on EBay, but it can also be found used on Amazon. Good luck.. Joe
