My sourdough starter tried to escape its jar last night
I was in my kitchen around 10 PM, prepping for a morning bake, when I heard a soft pop. My sourdough starter, which I'd fed a huge amount of rye flour and warm water about 6 hours earlier, had blown the lid right off its glass jar. It was bubbling over the counter like some kind of science experiment. I panicked for a second, thinking I'd lost it all. My wife just laughed and said, 'Looks hungry.' I managed to scoop most of it back into a bigger bowl, losing maybe a cup of the overflow. It taught me that a warm kitchen and a hearty feeding really speeds things up. Has anyone else had a starter get this crazy active? What's your go-to container when you know it's going to have a big rise?
