I sometimes put my starter in the oven with the light on to speed up the time it takes to become active and double and I set the oven to cook dinner last night and forgot it was in there. Luckily I had some levain leftover from that I was thinking about making pizza dough with so I basically still have a starter but I know it’ll never be exactly the same 😭 Anyways, enjoy my last loaves from my OG starter!

    I read “accidentally baking my sister” 🙃 your bread looks divine, sorry I’m dyslexic

    If your starter doesn’t exist in at least three places, it doesn’t exist. 😜I bet you can re-hydrate the strain of yeast.

    How about in your microwave instead? You can boil a cup of water and then put the starter in.

    Those are perfect loaves of bread!!!! I hope that your backup starter does a good job.

    in the future if this happens and you have some dough made, you can water it down and make starter with it again 😅 the salt will be gone in a few feeds. I’ve had to do it once when I shattered my starter jar
