Hi Dani, we're so sorry for your loss, but it's wonderful that your dad left you this baking legacy to remember him by! I don't have any experience with this type of starter, but there's lots of information and recipes online. Here's an article you might find helpful. As far as the consistency of your bread dough goes, it sounds like you may be adding too much flour, which is easy to do if you measure your flour by cups and tend to scoop the flour into the cup. For best results we recommend either weighing your ingredients, or using this method to measure flour by volume. I hope this helps. Let us know how it goes!
