Sourdough Starter

This actually works WELL! We had an issue with gnats recently and they kept getting into our starter so we had to start over. Thankfully, I think we got the gnats gone. Turned out there was a towel in our pantry that was covered in fruit that someone wiped up and did not know. Now it's gone. You Will Need: 100g Water (filtered) 100g Flour 1 tsp Yeast
