I'd love to get into it but I just don't have the time to get past the initial start up. Plus after work I am just exhausted and I definitely don't have the fortitude to make it a weekly ritual (not to mention we just don't eat that much bread). Maybe someday though.
If you ever want to try it but have no interest to make the starter, just ask around in your community. More often than you think there is this one person who has their sourdough and is more than happy to share it. I shared mine multiple times over the years, because I know getting started is no fun at all.
You can also freeze the sourdough to use from time to time or keep it in the fridge and just refresh it weekly to bi-weekly by mixing some of it with a bit of water and flour.
That's a great idea! maybe it's not as hard as I thought.. at least if I'm able to snag some starter :)
The initial startup requires a bit of reading and then a few minutes every day pouring out a bit of starter and mixing flour and water
