Yep, it's actually more difficult to get the sour flavor than it is to not get it.

Really? I'd love to get less sour flavour, but proofing overnight (in the fridge) looks like it's really hard to avoid it...

  • I leave it on the counter overnight. I really have to work at getting any sour flavour at all. My starter smells a little like cotton candy to me though when it's ready to go, floats really well in the water.

  • I've never got even a slight note or the sour taste from my starter. I guess I was quite lucky with how it developed.
