Sourdough Feels Confusing — Until Someone Shows You Exactly What To Do

You've watched the videos, read the blog posts, maybe even killed a starter or two. The problem isn't you — it's that nobody gave you a simple, day-by-day plan.

"Is my starter dead?"

You stare at a jar of flour and water with no idea if it's working or ruined.

No clear timing
