You can also fill a fruit jar with hot water and insert jar into the middle of the batter. This helps start the batter. You now have a sourdough starter. You will have to stir it down every day and close the lid. When the dough gets to working full steam ahead, place in a cool place, not cold but cool such as pantry.
