I've talked to several different friends by now who have also not had luck creating their own starter. So I felt justified in purchasing a wet starter from King Arthur flour. I was actually able to make a loaf of sourdough bread from this starter that they claim has 250 year old roots. I don't know if I believe that exactly, but I do know that it makes bread, and frankly that's all I care about.
Hi! I'm Tina from CBS...King Arthur has a great recipe for your own starter in one of their cookbooks. My hubby made it once, and we purchased the starter from KA as well, and lost it in our move :D He was in charge of feeding and I did the baking, worked pretty well.
