My sourdough starter finally doubled in size after three months of flat pancakes.

I kept it in the oven with the light on, and this morning it was actually bubbly and smelled like ripe fruit. The loaf I baked with it had a real crust and those big holes you see in pictures. Has anyone else had a starter take that long to wake up?

Feels like the best things always take way longer than you expect.

Tell me about it. I started learning guitar last year and I'm still basically just playing the same three chords badly. My dog leaves the room when I practice.

Tbh @martinez.kim, my life is proof of that rule. I've been trying to get good at making sourdough for like two years now. Still getting bricks.
