Cooking Cheap

I thought the sourdough starter might be lonely so I fed it a half cup of flour and some water (maybe 1/3 cup) and let it feed at room temperature. It liked that. I took a couple of tablespoons out and smeared it across some plastic wrap. I want to dry it in case I kill mine. It seems like the right thing to do, to save a backup of my starter.

Or not? It’s not that hard to make a new starter (or buy one) nor would nursing a dried sample back to life be any faster. It’s a good thing to do.

I think I’ll test my bread making skills on some yeast bread.
