Arrange the sentences into the correct order.

Put the sentences in the correct order:

  1. Some starters are kept alive for decades, passed between generations of bakers, so that a single loaf can carry the fermentation history of a family stretching back a hundred years.
  2. Bakers prize a well-maintained starter because its unique blend of microorganisms gives each loaf a distinct tang and texture that no packaged yeast can replicate.
  3. Once active, the starter must be fed regularly, since neglecting it for too long allows the yeast population to weaken and the mixture to turn overly acidic.
  4. To create one, a baker simply combines flour and water and lets the mixture sit at room temperature, feeding it fresh flour every day until it begins to bubble reliably.
  5. A sourdough starter is a living mixture of flour and water that ferments naturally, capturing wild yeast and bacteria from the air and from the flour itself.
