I am not sure what I need to do at that stage to get it to become =

Well, you might try looking at the FAQ's.

The point is that it is the bread that is supposed to be sour, not the =

You know, "Bob", almost everybody here has raised a sourdough culture.

Do you have your family come in and hold your hand while you sit in the
