I don't feel like I explained the "premature rise" well enough. Sometimes a new starter might rise and double prematurely and not really be ready for making bread. If your starter does rise and double, after just a few days of starting it, it is not strong enough for making bread yet. You are looking for a rise or doubling so you know your starter is ready to go, but this early doubling is deceiving. An early doubling will last a few days and then it usually stops. When your starter is healthy and mature enough for bread, it will double, bubble and not stop. once I see mine doubling, I usually wait a few more days and make sure it keeps doubling consistently. A consistent, rising, bubbling and doubling stater is ready to give you some delicious, nutritious and healthy bread for you and your family. This 100% God created process is a miraculous thing to watch and be a part of.
