Laura, unless you fed the starter with paint thinner, it'll probably be just fine — it's a very hearty creature! You can continue using bread flour or go back to all-purpose. If you use bread flour always, you might have to add a little extra water to get it to be that thick pancake batter consistency because bread flour absorbs more moisture than all-purpose flour does. Check out our blog article on what it really takes to kill a starter and our complete Sourdough Guide which is full of tips, tricks, videos, and an extensive FAQ page to give you everything you need to know. Happy sourdough baking! Annabelle@KAF
