Perfect starter

I was struggling making my own starter. I purchased this starter which has been amazing! The directions were so easy to follow and my starter came to life and has made excellent bread! Thank you!

Awesome results

Amazing. I had tried making sour dough starter multiple times using the insights from the internet. This included starting with rye flour. Much time and patience was lost. The results were lousy. Then I tried the Kensington starter and the results have been phenomenal.
