I'm a novice bread baker. I was given a sourdough starter kit as a gift. I've started it a several days ago and used it once. The bread was a failure. Flat and dense but I make toast with it. The rest of the starter became liquid. Where did I make my mistake? I have a bread machine (the starter and it were the gift) that I want to learn to use. I'm frustrated, can you help?
