Hi there, Karen! There are many different ways to go about creating your own sourdough starter, but this is our preferred method. We find that it gives consistent results and that it creates a reliable starter. A sourdough starter recipe that is calling for sugar and yeast would be more noticeably active because the yeast is feeding off of the sugar directly and there is commercial yeast being added whereas the method we use derives yeast from the environment. We hope this helps and happy baking! Morgan@KAF
