Sourdough lab

Simebody gave me some sourdough starter from a baker in Bangkok. I love sourdough, but am currently on keto, so I wanted to experiment with a long-term storage technique that AI told me about.

I fed the starter with AP flour and water, then waited for it to bubble and rise. Then smeared it thinly on parchment and let it dry completely. Lastly, I broke the resulting dried sheets of starter into flakes, put them in a jar with dessicant packs, and stored them in the freezer. They will no doubt remain there for years until I remember them, or until Nam cleans it out (almost certainly the latter).

I can supposedly restore the starter anytime by mixing it in lukewarm water and feeding it with flour.
