Another question...when I mixed up my starter, after weighing 4.25 ounces of KAF all-purpose flour, 1/8 tsp. instant yeast and 4 ounces of water, I was surprised at how thick the dough was! Usually when I make a starter, it is much more liquid, batter-like in consistency rather than dough-like. Since I weighed my ingredients, I know I didn't over measure the flour. Now, it is STILL winter here in northeast Ohio, and I notice that it's only 29% humidity in the house. So, should I add more water to my starter mixture, or is it really supposed to look like dough? Help!!! And...thanks in advance! We encourage people to adjust the starter as needed to ensure the consistency is just what it should be. You are welcome to add 1-2 Tbs of water more if you find the starter to be too thick, but bear in mind that the mixture will thin down a bit as it rests so be a bit cautious! Kim@KAF
