Hi, I am just getting ready to begin day two. I have a few bubbles, but the top of my starter looks a gray/green color. Is that ok? I used your unbleached white wheat flour. I don't want to use it if it has picked up something harmful, but I'm not sure if it has. It's not as white and sticky as yours either. It is more the consistency of bread dough. Am I doing this right?
The starter should have a consistency similar to a thick waffle batter. If yours is taking on more of a dough consistency, then it has too much flour. Read more about measuring flour here. Also, it should not turn color, especially so soon in the game, so my advice is to start over. Please give our baker's hotline a call if you have any questions along the way. ~Amy
