Hi Caity, what day are you on in the starter creation process? Patience almost always wins out when it comes to sourdough starters, but sometimes the rise is delayed, and this can eat up a lot of flour. You might want to consider reducing your starter to a smaller size, at least until it begins rising predictably. You could also consider returning to only one feeding a day, until the starter begins rising, and then switch to twice a day feedings. It's easy enough to increase the size of your starter once it's rising well, as this blog post illustrates. For more help troubleshooting your starter, please don't hesitate to contact our Baker's Hotline. We're here M-F from 9am-9pm EST, and Saturday and Sunday from 9am-5pm EST, and the number to call is 855-371-BAKE (2253). If phoning doesn't work for you, you can also contact us via CHAT.
