Days 2-4 : stir the mixture once per day
Day 5: - - 1. Feed the mixture: Stir in 1 cup of each:; sugar, flour & milk into the starter. (To make this part easier, I just separated my sugar & flour in sandwich bags for both feedings & measured my milk as needed) Cover loosely & store back on the counter.

Day 10: LAST FEEDING DAY - - 1. Feed the mixture: Stir 1 cup of each (sugar, flour & milk into starter). Cover loosely & store on the counter. - - 2.

I garnished my Bread with a quick chocolate ganache, as well as adding butterscotch & chocolate chips to my batter. Soo yummy!!! 😋
Also, a quick tip, so you don't lose track of your days : get an index card, tape it to your container & write the date you 1st prepared the starter & then list all the days after that: for example, I began my Starter on April 22nd, so this is how I did it: - - Day 1: 4/22/16 - Days 2-4: 4/23-4/25 Stir Mixture once per day - Day 5: 4/26 (Feed mixture one cup of each Flour, Sugar & Milk) - - And so on… That's how I was able to keep up with my dates, I know it's easy to lose track of the days, so I hope this helps..
