So I finally tried making that sourdough starter from scratch. It took about ten days to get really bubbly and active. The first loaf I baked was a bit dense, but the second one turned out fantastic with a nice crispy crust and soft inside. I used a mix of whole wheat and bread flour. The key is to feed it regularly and keep it in a warm spot. My neighbors loved getting the extra loaves. It's a fun hobby, though a bit messy. Let me know if you want some starter to try it yourself. I've been experimenting with adding different seeds and herbs to the dough. It really changes the flavor profile. I think next weekend I will attempt a cinnamon raisin version. Hopefully it turns out just as good as the plain one. Baking bread has become a really nice way to unwind after a long week. There is something satisfying about creating food from just flour, water, and salt. I highly recommend giving it a shot if you have the patience for it.
