Thank you for the online instructions for the feeding of my new starter. I have fed the starter 3 times now. It doesn't seem to be as bubbly as the pictures show or I would think it would be. Any suggestions for getting the starter to be more bubbly? Would a teaspoon of sugar help or would that be not a good thing to do? Thanks for your help! I wonder if your starter is too thick. A very thick starter will not show as many bubbles as one that is just a bit wetter. As long as it has some bubbles it should be just fine. As you use it you will find it will become more active. Joan@theBaker's Hot Line Margaret, yours will probably take longer to get going than ours did here. The more yeast bread you bake, the more yeast in the atmosphere, the more gets into the starter and makes it bubble. Give it time; try longer rests between feedings. - PJH
