Re-order Paragraphs
Arrange the sentences into the correct order.
Put the sentences in the correct order:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
