My neighbor Frank finally convinced me to try sourdough starter after years of hating the idea

Tbh I used to think sourdough was just a pretentious trend with all that feeding and discarding nonsense. Then last week my neighbor Frank brought over a loaf he baked from his 3-year-old starter and it was the best bread I've ever had. He explained how the wild yeast actually makes it easier on your digestion and showed me his simple feeding schedule. Now I'm on day 5 of my own starter and I'm already planning my first bake this weekend. Has anyone else here converted from yeast packets to sourdough recently?

Haha right? Frank's a real one for converting you.

Not sure I'd call it a conversion exactly. People can change their minds without making it a whole thing.
