Sourdough

Decided to start some sour dough yesterday.  Here is a picture of sourdough starter on day 2.  It basically looks the same as it did on day 1.  I am using a recipe from Rose Levy Beranbaum's The Bread Bible.  I have never tried her method before so we will see how this one develops.

In a clean bowl mix:
1 cup organic rye or whole wheat flour
1/2 cup bottled water

This forms a stiff dough which you then place in a 4 cup glass container of some sort.  I chose this jar.  She recommends covering it with plastic wrap, but I didn't have any so I just used the jars existing lid.  I will try and post as the process develops
