I never use packaged yeast to make my starter. The aerobic yeast works very well, providing a sourness unique to the area. The current starter is still young, only about a year old now.

SOUR DOUGH STARTER: 1 PACKAGE OF ACTIVE DRY YEAST
2 CUPS LUKEWARM WATER
2 TABLESPOONS SUGER
2 CUPS FLOUR
IM A BOWL ( NO METAL) DISSOLVE YEAST IN WARM WATER ADD SUGAR AND SLOWLY MIX IN FLOUR MIX WELL WITH WOODEN SPOON COVER BOWL WITH WAX PAPER AND SECURE WITH A RUBBER BAND. SET ASIDE IN A WARM PLACE TO FERMENT AT LEAST 48 HOURS (7-10 DAYS IS BEST) STIR THE PUNGENT MIXTURE DAILY. WHEN READY POUR OFF BUT 2 CUPS ( THIS CAN BE USED FOR RECIPE) REMAINING 2 CUPS IN CROCK WILL KEEP THE STARTER GOING...... TO REPLENISH: ADD I CUP OF FLOUR AND 1 CUP WARM WATER AND STIR WELL. RECOVER AND STORE IN REFRIGERATOR. NOTE IT IS NORMAL FOR MIXTURE TO TURN CLEAR OR POSIBLY GRYISH-BLACK. THE LONGER IT GOES UNUSED THE DARKER THE COLOR. REMOVE THE NIGHT BEFORE USING AND BRING TO ROOM TEMPERATURE. FOR EVERY CUP OF STARTER YOU USE REPLENISH WITH 1 CUP OF FLOUR AND 1 CUP WARM WATER. AND RETURN TO REFRIGERATOR

The term sourdough was given to the miners who went to Alaska during the gold rush at the end of the 19th century.
It was their practice to keep a nugget of sourdough warm in a leathern pouch in the underarm or auxiliary to keep it from freezing.
The pouch most often was the scrotum of a deer or caribou.

Your sourdough bread looks great. I've tried to get it "started" several times - but just can't get my starter going. Any tips?

What beautiful bread! I love to work with sourdough. We have sourdough waffles and pancakes almost every Sunday morning. Do you also make whole grain breads? My starter is quite old, I got it from a lady in Nome, Alaska and she had had it for a long time.
